MT. Latady read from decision of the supreme court which ruled that the conduct of bazars of this kind did not constitute a violation of the state law. However. Commissioner W. B. Cloe declared that several peo- pie had called him and stated they would have the first man they saw selling tickets to the bazar arrested.
 Commissioner w. L. Harrison stated that he felt that the decision of the supreme court was sufficient and all that was necessary was for the mem bers of the commission to use some Judgment. He made a motion that the commission assure MT. Latady and his committee that they would not be interfered with in the conduct of the bazar.
 Commissioner W. E. Dickson de- clared the commission had lodged the

issue in the American Legion case and the same question was always coming up, he felt that the matter should be referred to the city attor- ney for an opinion as he would like to see the question settled so that the commission would not always be placing itself in an embarrassing po- sition.
 MT. Harrison's motion was lost by vote of to 2, Commissioners Echols and Harrison favoring it and Com missioners McLendon. Cloe and Dick son opposing it. President McLendon stated that he was sure the commit tee would not object to the matter being referred to the legal depart ment and that the commission really wanted to know just where 1t stood on this Issue. The motion of MT. Cloe that the matter be referred to Judge Latady and the city legal department was unanimously adopted.

By HENRY VANCE

There was furore at the city hall There always is. Much excitement Beaucoup wild eyes. Eager expect aney, and all that sort of thing.
 One Bill says to another Bill: "The Dempsey Carpenter picture Is knock ing em dead. Big crowds. expect we better send a wheelbarrow up to the theatre 10 get the city's end of the coin. which we are to turn over to the poor"
 Another Bill pipes: "Nix on the wheelbarrow. That's small time stuff l doubt if a barrow would hold it all. Better get bank messenger in uni form and equipped with guards and send truck around after it.'
 Female voice: What a blessing to the thousands of poor families that awful amount of money will be- It's redletter week for charity. The city is bound to get a bulky sum to turn over to the needy"
 Still another Bill: Maybe we could have the city safe moved up to the theatre on truck, and have the funds placed in it right there. That would eliminate all chance of burglary. Sew eral thousand dollars prove mighty tempting to bandits these hard times"
 Proxy: "Oh, we'll thresh this thing out. I'm for a safe way of moving the funds. They must reach stag gering figure. Tell me big crowds are Hooking to see the picture"
 Thus continued the discussion. Of- ficiaf Birmingham was looking for the ship of the poor to come in and cast anchor. Fifty per cent of the net receipts of the Dempsey -Carpen- tier picture. showing at the Rialto at that time, had been promised for charity. The officials were expect ing at least couple of thousand dollars.
 A ban had been placed on the film at first. Then Promoter W. G. Ru- dolph, who had hired lawyer, in- duced the commissioners to relent. It seems the owner of the film was rather apt at painting word pictures.
 Glowing accounts of dollar marks, garnished with soft money and wrapped In bank notes are said to have drifted into the ears of the of ficial family. They saw these for the poor and needy. And, of course, who could help needing such a noble plea. The poverty stricken would be taken care of. So the decision put ting the ban on the fight pictures was lifted.
 Buoyed up by the eloquence and the optimism, the officials dreamed

City's Share Of Proceeds From Fight Pictures Is
 Cause Of Tongue Wagging

[ on. And, as their dreams gathered momentum, they foresaw gobs upon gobs of money for the unemployed They probably patted themseIves on the back until corns appeared in the palms over tho neat coup they had put over.
 The pictures were advcrtised-the crowds came-the week sped blythe commissioners waited And, as they waited, visions of fluttering bank notes and tinklings of imaginary half dollars and two bitses by the barrel probably consumed the entire acoustic output at the city hall.
 The show closed Saturday as per schedule.
 Monday then Tuesday = then Wednesday.
 No bulky currency was glutting the safe at the city hall. No smiling benefactor appeared with a Santa Clausian pack upon his back laden with dollar bills for the poor.
 The official family investigated.
 They found the optimistic stranger had left a check and an itemized ac- count with his attorney.
 They looked upon the check fer vently.
 They gasped.
 The gigantic sum of s40s.47!
 Four hundred, eight dollars-court 'em. And forty-seyen cents for good measure!
 The show, according to the figures before the commission, cleared SSl6.93. This would have made the city's share for the charity fund s4Os.46h. But rather than quibb ole over the half cent, the promoter had given that to the city and had writ ten out check or S40s.47.
 Air castles tumbled with a crash!

CABBAGE RESCUED

Variety Which VIII Resist the
Cabbage Fellows" Results.

Manhattan, Kan, July 1s.-Two
varieties of cabbage that are resistant
to cabbage yellows." a disease that
has done great damage TO the cabbage
crop within the last few years, have
been tested out ia the Kaw valley this
year and found to be very successful.
They are the All-Seasons and the
Brunswick.
Cabbage yellows' has become so
prevalent in Kansas that it has been
almost impossible to grow cabbage
Probably Last year NJ G. Dreyer OF
Myandotte county lost his entire crop
OF five or six acrss or account of the
disease Oth@r growers reported the
same experience, ami thru the instru-
mentality Of L, A. Stakdyk, extension
plant pathologist at the agricultural
college, the two varieties that had
tested cut in Michigan and Wisconsin
as the most resistant were imported
and demonstration fields were estab-
lished in Wyandotte and Douglas
counties. Mr.. Dreyer reports that this
year, by planting the resistant varie-
ties and by changing his nonresistant
varieties to fields which had not pre-
viously been planted 10 cabbage, he
expects TO harvest so per cent of his
crop.
The disease IS apparently a bac-
terial one and remains in the soil OF
the field. 1t may attack the cabbage
plants when they are very small, caus-
Ing the leaves TO turn yellow and PEE
venting them from heading. Sometimes
plsrts that have already formed

In the tests conducted with the All

signs of the disease. while nonresistaHt
varieties were about rs per cent in
