Motion picture fans have been intro

mendous movie game rests.
Cotton. nitric acid, silver. plus George
Eastman-the man who brings them to-
gether-produce millions Of spools of
film and that is the real beginning of
the movie play.
The story of how these three bases
form a film is told In a romantic and
dramatic manner in a new film. "a Trip
Through Film Land" which has recently
been released and will be shown at the
principal movie houses throughout the

FATHER AND MOTHER NIGHT
BOY SCOUTS TO MEET THURSDAY EVENING Al

The organization of Boy Scout
troop in Philadelphia has been much
delayed because no one connected
with it has had sufficient exper ent c
to carry on the work efficiently.
Harry A. Seymour, connected with
the United S. Indian office at Phila-
delphia has had three years expert
ence in the work, and has also serv-
ed as an officer in the Marines. He
has offered his services, and the sue
cessful organization of a strong troop
is assured.
1t is especially desired that all
mothers and fathers turn out at the
Thursday meeting, and learn some
thing about the wonderful work that
is done through this great boys fra
ternity. The meeting will be held at
7.45 o'clock P. NJ. If the mothers aud
fathers of Philadelphia desire that
their boys be men they cannot forego
attending this meeting.

NEWTON TRYING FOR SCHOOL
CITIZENS MAKING EFFORT TO GET CONFERENCE
TRAINING SCHOOL.

There is every possibility that the
M. E. Church, South, will remove
the training school at Montrose to
some other point. III this Is done the
school will be enlarged and improv-
ed, and would be an asset to any
community. The citizens Of Newton
have met to consider the matter.
Commenting upon uhe possibility OF
Newton getting the school Editor
Cunningham states in last weeks
Record:
Gas will be seen from the news col
umns of today's paper, an opportu-
nifty is presented to the people OF
Newton County to obtain the Con-
ference training school of the NJ. E.
Church, South, which is now located
at MOntrose, only the new institu-
tion is to be on a much larger and
broader sale. The kind of institution
that is proposed would be superior
| to any in the state-in fact, the state
| has no first-class school of this order
and it would really be worth more
perhaps than good college.
While several cities are competing
for the school, it does not necessarily
mean that they can outstrip New
ton, for we have number of advan-
tages that they cannot offer, and
the conditions here are ideal for such
a school, and with the proper deter
mination on the part of our people,
The Record believes that the institu-
tion can be located here. 1t is a big
thing, on the proposed plan, and is
worth making a sacrifice to get, and
will In years to come return more
than it will cost to get it, to say
nothing OF the value 1t will be to the
community in many other ways.
The thing to do is for the people OF
the entire county to go after 1t, and
with the proper amount of determi-
nation and diligent efforts, they will
be successful"

the market here. In spite Of the coal
strike in England and the couipara-
lively small demand for cotton, prices
remain very firm. The purchases on
behalf OF the Egyptian Government
are undoubtedly in Il large measure
towards this firmnrss. 1t does not
buy every day, but never fails to
giveits support, whenever there are
any signs of weakness due to n de-
cline IN prices abroad, Lack Of de-
mand or other causes. It's purchases,
to date, amount toabuut 1000 bales.
"Most of the growers and other
holders OF cotton are still as persist
entas ever in their attitude OF With
holding theirstocks from the market.
Consequently, the quantities offered
for sale are very small compare lively
with the large stock OF unsOld cot
ton here and up country. The selec-
tion Is also very restricted. Good
staple cotton of any grade is becom-
ing more and more difficult to obtain.
'The best grades of Sakellarides
are absolutely unprocurable and
even Sakellarides GOOD is very diff
ficult to obtain, likewise the best
Uppers, although there must be large
stocks of them. The bulk of the cot
ton for sale consists of the medium
grades of Sakellarides and Uppers.
"The new crop has been sown
rather late this year, owing to unfa-
vorable weather which continued
also after a good deal OF sowing had
been done, thus retarding somewhat
the growth Of the young plant. This
does not necessarily mean that we
shall have Il late crop, as with favor
able weather conditions the plant
may easily regain the loss of time
incurred by the late sowing and cool
weather"
