picture that movie fans all over the country have been anxiously waiting to see. The picture has been widely advertised as the best production that this popular star will be seen in this season, and was made at the greatest expense of time and money of any picture that will be released this week.
 The story is an unusual one, and de-, parts so radically from the cut and dried stories dealing with the prob lems of married life that one is entertained from the very first, and the climax is said to be the most dra- matic imaginable.
 On the same programme with this picture, Billy Parsons will be seen in a new comedy feature entitled, The Big Idea,' and those who have seen his recent pictures know that whenever a Billy Parsons picture flashes upon the screen, that there's something doing, so don't miss it. Of course, the Pathe news reel and the big Strand organ will round Sout the programme H usual.
 The latter half of the week also holds two big features, for Thursday, Fri day and Saturday brings Fatty Ar buckle in his newest picture. Love" and handsome Bryant Washburn in comedy drama, entitled, "The Poor Boob," a typical Washburn porduc- tion, and one that is sure to please all who see it. It tells the story of "a simp,' who, after being cheated out of his heritage, begins to wise up and ends by going .o Congress. However, going to Congress is not a sure indi- cation that you are not a simp, but

Norma Talmadge at
 TrianOn All Week

The first Norma Talmadge produc- featuring the screens most popular actress, Norma Talmadge, will be the unusual attraction at the Trianon theatre for zone week only, beginning Monday. A special musical programme will feature all performances and the musicians are now rehearsing the mu- sic. These rehearsals have been held daily since Wednesday, and Professor Hartsel gives assurance that the music vii, be especially attractive.
 The Trianon management was un- successful in it's efforts to secure this big production for a two weeks run, as the demand for the picture by other cities is too great.
 Critics declare The Probation Wife" the greatest of all Norma Talmadge pictures. Iii this production she is again the American girl, and is sur rounded with an atmosphere of lavish ness and style. She wears Some stun ming gowns and is the same appealing Norma Talmadge that all theatregoers have learned to admire.
 At the opening of the picture we see her as an inmate Of a notorious cafe. She is young, vibrating with life, and with an inner refinement which makes this life repulsive to her-and Norma Talmadge is the girl who can make you feel all these things.
 The cafe is raided and Miss Tal- madge. as Jo, is sent to the reforma- tory with the rest of the girls for three years. Here we have this tall ented select star in another role. In gingham dress and tousIed hair, she scrubs floors and drudges most of the A hours every day during the year. She is young and wants to live. She rebels against the lot fate has chosen for her and after two years in the reformatory she manages to escape.
 She meets Harrison Wade and offers herself to him in return for whatever he deems fit to give her. He marries

GREAT HEAVENS, MR.. FARMER
SOW WHEAT!

Right in the midst of all this SEEM
ing prosperity, when it probably looks
to you as if WANT could never come
your way, there is ghost that you
can't see. Its eyes are deep-seated.
its hair is bedraggled, it's bones are
raw and its body is naked. Boil
weeyils are sucking what little blood
there is in it's veins.
Our people ought not to forget
their condition no longer than five
years ago. That condition can re-
turn again within a twelve months.
How can we avoid it's return? Our
answer: Sow wheat and oats, grow
all the farm animals that you can,
make your farms rich, learn from the
Government and private individuals
all that you can learn about how to
make cotton under boil weevil con-
ditions.
Don't wait till it is too late. Do
these things NOW!-Alpharetta Free
