Browning-F earnside's


ilv home in San Francisco as a child
after his fathers tragic death. He
inherits his grandfather's enormous
wealth and becomes head of the big
Fielding shipping interests. He mar
ries a beautiful and talented woman,
and is expecting paternity. Life, so
far. has been kind to young Field
ing.
From the country where the young
shipping magnate was born comes a
trader of evil reputation, who had
been baked in some of his nefarious
schemes by David's father. He finds
the son and in revenge tells him he
is a half caste, son of William Field
ing and native woman in the far
away country. The trader threatens
to tell the story unless David agrees
to enter with him and his shipping
facilities into huge smuggling en-
terprise. David refuses Indignantly,
and laughs at the story of mixed
blood. The thought preys upon HIM
however, and finally drives him to
take his infant child and flee from
civilization to the snow fields OF
Alaska. There he battles with a
wolf and experiences other wild adj
ventures. The mystery of his life is
cleared in startling fashion.

TEN TIMES BIGGEST
CIRCUS HERE SOON
Worlds Greatest Amusement Insfi-
tuition Ringing Bros. and Barnum
< Bailey Headed this Way

Ringling Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey Day draws near and with
it will come a vast circus of ten
thousand wonders'' to exhibit in
Alexandria, October 9Th.
This mammoth amusement On.
terprise of 1922 has been officially
recorded as "America's ten times
greatest circus" 1t is a th.id
bigger than it was in 1921. ~.
in addition to thu many inno.a.
tlons offered then, the present
seasons program offers ten more
trained wild-animal displays
making twenty acts in all-aAd
the most superb trained horse acts
that Europe has yet produced.
The wild animal and equine dis
plays of 1921 were introduced
merely that the Rineling Brothers
might judge of their popularity.
so enthusiastically were these
numbers received that the famous
showmen Immediately arranged
for the purchase of the worlds
finest acts of this kind. An en-
tire equine circus was bought out
right and brought to this country
last winter. And while the RIM.
ling Brothers and Barnum 3
Bailey agents were securing iii,
and the trained tiger, polar Enar,
lion, leopard and jaguar proups,
they had orders to engage tie
foremost men and women ncr-
formers of the European capitals.
And these stars from city ard
Jungle are all tc be seen with shis
wonder circus Of 1922. Every.
thing. including the great. douo.e
menagerie of more than a thcus.
and animals and exhibiting sucl,
rari;ies as a mite of Il baby hippo
potamus and its three ton mother,
is to be seen for the price of one
admission ticket. And by "eyery.
thing" is meant not only the wild
animal and equine displays, but
the entire circus. More than 700
men and women. embracing the
worlds foremost arenic stars, take
part. There are 100 clowns.
Aside from the ferocious beasts,
the program includes forty trained
elephants. There are five COM
panies of trained seals, many dogs,
bears, monkeys, pigs and pigeons.
1t is the biggest circus program
The world has ever seen, given
1nder the largest tent.

THE BOIL WEEVIL
EXTERMINATOR

A short demonstration of catch
ing boil weevils. worms and other
pests was made near Dallas by the
Owens boil weevil exterminator.
Apparently no damage was be-
ing done to this cotton (which was
IN full bloom) by boil weevils or
insects at the time of the demon
stration.
This machine was worked ON
about eight rows which were ap-
proximately 500 feet long. Many
boil weevils, army worms, spiders,
ants and other insects were caught.
Punctured squares, damaged bolls
and dead blooms were successfully
beaten off the stalks and gathered
by the machine.
This is very light. one horse
machine that takes two rows at
one operation, and should cover at
least fifteen acres per day.
1t is a very simple contraptio
that has a beater that runs
through the cotton, and shakes
the insects on pan that is drag
ged between the rows of cotton.
These dead blooms, puncturs d
squares and damaged bolls are re-
moved from the pan from time to
time and destroyed.
1t was remarkable the number

FARMING A CON-
PLICATED BUSINESS

duction costs by careful attention
to overhead; by perfecting his
organization and in the introduc.
ton of labor-saving machinery
which enables him to produce ir
quantity. The farmer may also
benefit by doing his work properly
at the right time and through q
weli-managed system save much
time and labor. But, even on the
best-regulated farms. the cost OF
production is increasing and or
the average farm it is growing
much faster than is safe for the
agricultural industry of this coun.
try.
Although there are some farm
ers who persist in conducting their
business much after the manner OF
their grandfathers, who in their
day we're pretty good producers,
farming today is entirely different
from what it was twenty, thirty
or forty years ago. Not only has
competition in production forced
farmers to purchase and operate
expensive machinery, but they are
having to produce from over
worked soils and against numerous
insects unknown to their fathers
before them. In early days the
farmer also had his troubles. He
had his wet and dry years, but
when conditions we're right. lie
produced crops in abundance.
The successful farmer of today
must combine a knowledge of pro
duction with that of marketing.
He must recognize plant pests and
plant diseases and know the-reme
dies therefor. He must under
stand soils aad how TO treat them.
In fact, the amount of knowledge
he should possess is varied and
voluminous. If he does not pos
sess this knowledge, he must at
least recognize the necessity for it
and know where and to whom to
go for assistance.
AS matter of fact the agricul-
tural and livestock industries are
requiring greater degree of ra,
tience, intelligence and application
than ever before, and as our soils
grow older the demands of these
industries will increase. Farming
some day will be considered a
highly complicated business in
stead Of an occupation. The time
las already arrived when the
;hiftless, nor. progressive and un-
'ead man is having a hard time to
his family on the farm in
he same style that the day laborer
n town is able to do.

THE SAILOR CATS
OF SAN PEDRO
BY Wynonah Breazeale Johnson

The sunlight shoDe dazzlingly
on the dancing waters of the Pa
cific and cleaned along the wharfs.
but inside the big recesses of the
warehouse of the Admiral Lire
there was a restful dimness and
quiet.
The whistle had just blown for
the noon hour and the scores of
stevedores and warehouse men
had knocked off for lunch, pour
ing through the big doors with
their pals in hand or Fastening to
the coffee rooms near the docks.
Crates stamped with foreign
marks, bales and barrels and boxes
stood as they had left them and
Oh every mound was curled cat!
Indeed, the big warehouse was
literally full of cats; they had
strolled noiselessly from various
corners ard recesses and taken up
their stations on bales or boxes,
were leisurely making midday
toilettes or curling up for siestas.
Surely there had not been
special shipment of cats on one of
the big boats and they were park
ed in this warehouse, preparatory
for delivery9
The cats seemed perfectly tanned
and merely bored by the astonish-
ment of the reporters who spied
