Aldine Theatre, at 10 o'clock next
Saturday morning. The picture will
be the central feature of the Al
dimes bill, beginning on Monday,
October 3.
The theatres invitation to Super
intendent Ward and his colleagues
was felt to be timely. in that ''The
Blot" deals with what Miss Weber.
the producer. regards as the prin-
cipal stain on American economic
life: the undertaking. underpay-
ment and. in many cases. the actual
undernourishment OF the school
teacher. Woven in with the purely
dramatic threads OF the story is the
moral that, IL this country Is not 10

culpable in this regard, conditions
must be radically and speedily
changed.
AS is usual in Weber releases, 1.-THE

fectiveness while preaching a strik-
ing piece OF topical propaganda.
The new photoplay is said by those
who have seen It at pre-view to rival

achievements OF Miss Weber's as
"Hypocrites, one OF the first ambi-

DIES MONIES WANTS
Street CARS AGAIN

DIES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 20.-Des
Moines wants her street cars back
IL they will deliver real service.
After nearly a month of bus rid
ing, while street cars gathered rust
in the barns, negotiations to again
start street car service were coming
to the fore under pressure for retail
merchants. Street car service was
abandoned when the company
couldn't make expenses in the face
of jitney bus competition.
Eighty-four buses nave carried an
average of $4,000 persons each day.
Mayor H. II. Barton said today
that buses might be the solution of
the transportation problem in the flu
ture, but at present "the safety of
the city demands street cars" whose
service is fully developed.
Bus men have promised to put $50
buses into service, sufficient to han
die the surplus $4,000 riders daily
which now are being cared for in
private automobiles and taxis, with
in two weeks after being granted a
one-year franchise.
A new franchise under which
street car service would be resumed
was ready for presentation to the
city council today.
After the council acts on the fran
chise, and If it approves it, the pro-
posal will go before the city in a
referendum election.
The only known proposal Of the
new franchise is that bus competi-
tion must be eliminated before
street car service is restored

ers' congress, held here this week,
which adopted resolution calling on
the state board of entomology to
take charge of a movement to pre-
vent the planting of cotton in this
state next year, and to employ law
fu1 means to see that the quarantine
Is not violated.
The plan is simply to starve out
the boil weevil, and experts believe
| If every vestige Of cotton is elm

this can be done.
The resolution was adopted by a
unanimous vote of practical farmers

Of destroying insects.
It was offered by B. w. Hunt, Of
one of the best posted men in the
state on cotton. It was champion
ed by j. J. Brown, commissioner Of
agriculture Of Georgia.
Inc next move Will be to ask eV-
cry other organization in the state
to adopt the resolution, and with
the movement fairly under way in
Georgia to go into other cotton-pro-
ducing states and ask cooperation
by absolutely prohibiting the grow
ing of single stalk of cotton next
season.
1t is pointed out that there are
scores of other crops farmers in
the south can grow profitably until
the boil weevil is stamped out.
Then there is another side to the
question. Just now the surplus of
cotton is large and farmers say the
price is less than the cost Of pro-
duction. If no cotton is produced
next year the surplus will be gradu-
ally consumed and better prices as
sured.
The movement is regarded as one
of the most far-reaching in the his
