George Arliss, the distinguished ac-
tor, achieved his greatest stage sue
cess in "Disraeli," the photoplay YER
sion of which will be shown at the Isis
theatre for two days beginning today
The play was written by Louis n
Parker especially for Mr. Arliss and
the character of the great English
statesman was selected for the dra-
matist with that rare skill and dis
elimination for which Mr. Arliss is
noted.
Queen Victoria chose Benjamin Dis
raeli from among the greatest Eng
lishmen OF his or any period in Eng
lish history to be her prime minister
despite the wide criticism that fol-
lowed The chief reason OF her action
was that she trusted him implicitly.
Disraeli began his career in poverty
and piled up huge debts in his many
unsuccessful efforts to obtain a seat
in parliament He married a well-to-
do widow and in a sense he emerged
from poverty, yet he depended upon
his work as a novelist to bring him in
money. Disraeli was elected mem

PUREBRED SEED
FOR BIG CROPS
Buy Your Seed from Reputable Houses
and Assure Yourself of Its Quality.

The value of purebred live stock
seems pretty well implanted in the
minds of all American farmers and in
the practices of the better type of
farmers, so much so that there is little
danger of a return to the predomi-
nance of the old scrub hog, COW, horse
or chicken.
Yes, we have heard purebred pig
and purebred calf and purebred colt
and purebred "biddie" from the time
when we went barefooted and ate out
of spoon, but how often have we
heard about purebred corn or pure
bred other kinds of seed?
May it be said that it is just as inn
portant that the farmer secure the
best seed to be had as it is for him to
secure the best live stock "Purebreds
eventually, why mot now" applied as
properly to the seed of farm crops as
1t does to farm animals.
The planting time, for general field
crops, is near Seed should be on
hand or readily available. But it is
not too late to get purebred seed--the
best seed. If you didn't save your
own purebred seed or haven't them al
ready, there are many reputable seed
houses throughout the country, and
the nearest one TO you can be reached
in a few days by mail.
However, in buying seed, it is just
as necessary that you make sure of
the reputableness of the dealer and of
the quality Of the seed as you do when
you buy purebred live stock. First,
make sure that the seedman makes it
his strong point not to sell poor seed.
Second, be sure he makes no mistake
in the seed he sells you-make him
make sure of it.
Plant only sound purebred seed
start the crop rlght-and make bigger
yields.

Mr.. Arliss is delightful. He keeps the
spies close at his side and seeks TO
bind them to his actions and his de-
sires through the medium of his
friends about him.
The ultimate collapse of his plans at
the moment when everything seems
assured turns the whole character of
Disraen topsy-turvey and in the place
of the nice old gentleman with his
quiet disposition we see a Disraeli
alive to every passion and fighting
with his back to the wall to bring tri-
umph out of disaster. He has been
obliged to deal with the private banker
because the governor of the Bank Of
England will not gamble the banks
money on ga ditch dug in the sand"
but when the prime minister's plans
fall and the efforts Of the private
banker to complete the purchase is
nIpped by the conspirators Disraeli
summons the governor of the Bank of
England to his country place and lays
a note for large sum of money on the
table for the governor to endorse. This
leads up to the tremendous action
which forms the climax of the story
and throughout the sequence Mr.. Ar
liss grasps every opportunity afforded
him by his great art and every assis-
lance given IN by the camera. The
net result is one of the best pieces Of
acting ever seen on the stage or screen
and remains one of the standards by
which the actors of today and tomor-
row have been and will be judged.
True, the camera art robs us Of the
value Of the voice of Mr.. Arliss but in
its place he gives an indefnable
something that seems to replace the
need Of a human voice-something OF
personality, ffnality, authority, which
are included among the gifts of Mr..
Arliss.
II think I did more for the camera
than ever did for the stage" said Mr.
Arliss whe the picture was completed

STATE PLANT BOARD
HAS new EMPLOYEE
Reginald Hart, Who Has Had Much
Experience in Cuba, Will Do In
spection Work.

Reginald Hart, who has spent sever
al seasons with the Cuban Agricultural
Experiment station doing plant sani-
tstfon work, has been employed by the
state Plant Board of Florida. He will
do regular inspection work.
Mr.. Hart, native of Vermont. holds
a bachelor science degree from the
Massachusetts Agricultural college
where he graduated in 1916. As a stu
dent he specialized in entomology and
forestry. After graduation he became
deputy nursery inspector for Massa-
chusstts, which position he held sat
isfactorily for several months.
He was later collected With the Gu
ban Agricultural Experiment station
for a year and a half. and still later
with the cuban bureau of plant sani-
tation. His principal work in the lat
ter was in the inspection of plants and
fruits and the eradication of injurious
insects and diseases of these plants
and fruits.

BOIL WEEVIL NEARS
COTTON BELT LIMIT
Esch Step of Pests Spread Was Re
sisted by Government, State and
Planters.

After thirty years of slow persistent
advance since its first appearance in
this country near the Mexican border.

VII in 1877 just issued by the United
states department of agriculture Each
step Of the spread has been against
the stubborn efforts of the govern
meht, the states, and the individual
planters to hold the pest in check.
The mild winter of 192O-2f and the.
wet summer OF 1921 favored an alb
normal multiplication OF the insect
throughout the territory affected. In
determining the extent Of the spread
last year the search over a great part
OF the territory surveyed was for the
last cotton fields rather than for the
weevil ,becaues all fields were infested.
II still remains to be seen, says the cir
cular, whether the weevil can maintain
existence in the extreme portions OF
the cotton belt in which 1t now finds
itself.
For the first time the states OF Mis-
souri, and Kentucky were invaded by
the weevil and all fields in these states
were found to be infested The gain
west OF the Mississippi river is nearly
equal TO that east OF the river. The
greatest gain in any single state, how
ever is 1900 square miles in North
Carolina. The circular contains q map
showing the spread of the pest each
year since its discovery in 1892 in the
southernmost tip or Texas. Copies OF
the circular may be had free upon ap-
plication to the United States depart

gan 30-year fight in his climb to the
top. When he started he declared he
would become the prime minister OF
England and he succeeded. The pur-
chase of the Suez canal by England in
1876 was engineered by Dfsraeli
against tremendous opposition and this
incident was made the basis for the
plot in this play. Surrounding this
plot is intertwined two charming love
stories. notably the lifelong affection
Of DisraelI for the lady he married.
Mr.. Arliss makes up for the part
with a fidelity that suggests hours OF
study OF portraits or the English
statesman. The whole characterize
ton is done with a reserve for which
Mr.. Arliss has won praise from all
critics.

Disraen is toying with the spies that
surround him. including the beautiful

bage bug. and is very hard to control.
The mouth of this insect is adapted
for piercing the tissues and sucking

The bugs increase rapidly during the

Soon after the first frost of early
winter the adults and nymphs crawl
between and into the folds of leaves
of old plants. under rubbish at the
base of cabbage stalks and under al
most any convenient thing. All the
nymphs perish during winter, as do
many adults. Warm, sunny days
tempt them to feed; then sudden cold
snaps, which are certain to follow,
are their undoing
Warm days early in the year bring
the bugs into action. They attack the
first wild plants, related to the cab
bage, that come with spring. AS spring
and summer come on they attack such
vegetable plants as turnips. Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, kale, collards, cauli-
flower, mustard, rape, eggplant, aspar-
agus. potato, tomato, okra, beans and
beets.
Insecticides that kill the bugs will
also destroy the plants, therefore pre-
ventive measures must be taken. Prof
J. r. Watson. entomologist of the
Florida experiment station, recon-
mends the following:
/. Clean up all old plants about the
garden or field as soon as the crop has
been removed. Burn the plants and
bugs.
2. Clean up weeds and rubbish near
the cabbage field or garden: burn all
such rubbish in fall or early winter.
3. Trap crops of mustard and other
related plants, planted in spring, to be
destroyed by spraying, will get the
bugs not destroyed in the fall. AS
soon as all the bugs have attacked the
trap crops, spray with kerosene emul-
sion, Is to 20 per cent strength, or
burn with hand torches.
4. If any bugs miss the above treat
ment and get on the main crop, it will
pay to hand pick them at first appear
ance. Pick and drop into a pan Of
kerosene, and burn.
3. If bugs are missed by any or all
OF the above methods, they will lay
many eggs in masses which are readily
found. Gather and crush the eggs.

POTATOES

Cleanliness is an important factor
in the winter storage Of potatoes, ac-
cording to DR.. Arthur II. Evans, as
sociate agronomist at State college.
The bin in which potatoes are to be
stored should be clean. 1t should be
thoroughly swept and if there has
been trouble with rot in it before, it
is best to disinfect it. A painting or
washing OF all inside parts with a So
luton of one pint of formaldehyde in
10 gallons Of water is very sufficient.
After the removal OF last years crop,
the bin should be dried and disinfect-
ed ready for receiving the coming
crop. Clean, dry potatoes, u%ninjured
and stored in a dry bin, do not rot
unless disease is present in the tu-
bers. One should satisfy himself that
they are all right by digging into the
bin and examining them from time to
time. Storage in a temperature below
40 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended
whenever possible.

Long, long ago, In the time of Queen Elizabeth, there lived some people who were called Pilgrims. The Queen wanted them to worship as she did, but the Pilgrims wanted to worship as they pleased. The Pill grims left England and sailed to Hol- land. where the King was kind. They were there 10 years. When the chil- dren learned the Dutch ways and even answered their mothers in Dutch, This will never do," said the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims said that they had heard of America, and they would go there. They named their ship Mayflower, after the May flower blooming in England They set sail on September 6, 1920, and landed in Plymouth on December 2l 1920. The Indians showed the people how to plant corn. They also plant ed pumpkins. The men killed wild turkeys and other game. The people said: Let us invite the Indians" The Indians came and the chief said: 'Palefaces are kind. We hope the Great Spirit will be kind to them"
