ington, ID. c., where the methods
which save cotton planters s20,OO0,O 600

One interesting feature is the labor
atory work by which bogus weevil ex-
terminators are detected. The second
part Of the film, taken In the fall,
shows thousands OF acres of snowy
cotton fields with pickers gathering
the snowy bolls. Two or three con-
trasts are shown between fields where
calcium arsenate dust has been ap-
piled and adjoining rows which were
neglected. From actual experience
the saving to one 5,OOO-acre planter is
given at more than S64 an acre. The
film is designed primarily for demon
stration work In the South, and is
one Of about 500 films covering more
than 100 subjects showing different
phases Of the work OF the depart.

Again they heard a noise and again
they shivered and tried TO keep very
still.
They only hoped for the morning
when they could run away from ad-
ventures and Just stay where It was
quiet and safe.

In a moment or two more the boy
peaked out of one eye into darkness
with only the little bit of a scrap of
light which came through from the
far-off stars.
He thought he saw a shadow. Then
he was quite sure he saw one. He gave
one awful shrek and the girl rushed
TO him and put her head on his shoul-
| der.
"Oh, this Is terrible, TERRIBLE Save
us, don't hurt us, animal, creature,
snake, whoever, whatever you are I"
the girl cried.
"A snake wouldn't listen; no crea-
ture would" trembled the boy.
"Oh dear. oh DEAR" said creature
who at least could speak the language
the boy and girl understood; "oh dear,
oh dear, can't help signing"
The creature gave a long sigh and
then lighted a little candle which he
carried in birchbark candlestick.

they saw his face now In the candle
light. for before they had not dared
to look. 1t was kindly and jolly and
round. He looked almost like a moon
with legs and arms, taking a walk on
| the earth.
"Tve come to tell you," said the
creature. shat wasn't roaring. You
were little afraid when you went 10
bed and so the slightest sound made
you think of wild animals.
'Tve come most especially to tell
you. though. that there are no such
things as bogeys and ghosts. And II
you're going to spoil your trip by
imagining all sorts of foolish things

"Good-by, and Oh" the creature
shouted as he put out his candle and
went of, "please remember thnt there

bogeys. But II you think every sound
means something when you hear Il at

So they went back to sleep, and were
really very thankful to have had this
adventure.

chief being his. AS a matter of
fact, | rather thought it was Mr..
Trowbridge's own, and that the
murderer, whoever he was, had
used it and left it without fear
of its discriminating himself.
Surely no one would leave his
own handkerchief on the scene OF
his crime! Are you sure it's
Stryker's?'
"Positive. But all that can
be proved and investigated later.
Now we want to nail our bird

him, Miss Trowbridge?'

into her eyes at thought of sus-

peated Judge Hoyt. "That

Groot, dashing out Of the room
