JUNIOR PAINTERS
RETURN MONDAY


The Purple Tornado from Simp-
son High will return to the Magic
City Monday morning at o'clock
and will be greeted at the Louisville
and Nashville station by the entire
student body, who will conduct tn"
national tournament competitors to
the school In cars.
Although Simpson did not go fer
in the tournament, they set pre-
cedent for Alabama high schoo!
teams. The Tornado blazed the trail
for a broader and even nation
wide outlook for Alabama high
school athletics, and it Is very
probable that future state champions
of Alabama will complete in the ma
tional tournament. This will be a
great step forward in Alabama high
school basketball circles for no.
only will Alabama teams get nation
wide recognition but they will bring
back 10 their native state points on
how that game is played in all sec
tons of the nation and it will mean
better high school basketball in
Alabama.
simpson drew a strong team in the
tournament and We're defeated by
score OF 81 to "a in hard fought
game. Their conquerors, Westport
righ of Kansas City. Mo. were
beaten in the fourth round of plas'
by Rockford. ILL.,. which overcome 4
II to 10 lead in the first half to
win 26 to "a.

STEADY SHOWING
PRICES OF COTTON
DURING QUIET DAY

NEW YORK, April THE cotton
made a generally steady showing to-
day. Probably the bulk of the trad
ing represented the evening up Of
accounts for over the week END, but
interest seemed a little anxious.
owing to prospects for a renewal of
unsettled weather, in the southwest
As a result. July contracts sold up
to 2S.92c or 81 points net higher and
closed at 2s.ssc, with the general
market closing steady at net adj
vances Of s to "a points.
The market opened irregular at
an advance of 6 points to decline
Of J point. with near months rela
lively firm on little covering by
May spots. This demand was quick
~ supplied and May eased back to
fridays closing quotation right after
the call, but the market stiffened UP
after the publication of the official
forecasts for showery or unsettled
weather and lower temperatures IN
the southwest. The buying was not
active or general, but offerings wers
light, with May selling up to 29.T9c
ard October to 25.ssc during tn,
middle of the morning. when tbs
general list was is to % points net
higher. The advance was checked
around these figures by realizing
anu the close was several points OFT
from the best on the more active
positions. The continued compla ints
of delayed farm work appeared to be
making a little more impression on
the market, Judging from comment
around the ring, and local brokers
said they expected the trade to watch
weather conditions very closely from
now on. Possibly the mid morning
advance was also promoted by re-
ports that the government entomolo-
gist at the Louisiana station ex-
pected definite. though not acute,
shortage of calcium arsenate when
the season for cotton busting begins.
Weekend reviews of the domestic
goods market were about in line
with recent reports. Sales in Fall
River for the week were estimated
at only 10000 pieces. but there were
reports of continued free distribu-
ticn Of goods in the interior and that
mill production continues above the
average. Liverpool was a moderate
buyer in the market here during the
early trading. while the south was
an equally moderate seller. and the
greater part of the business was be-
leved to be for local or Wall Street
account.

Great Influx

j. 7. Coyle, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has received
letter from the AllYear Club of
Southern California calling atten.
tion to the advertising which the
club is doing in national magazines,
to attract tourists and settlers to
California. Since its organization
few months ago, the club, which en-
braces practically all the southern
counties of California, has received
14,442 letters from families stating
they intend coming to California
this summer.
The Santa Fc railroad has advis-
ed the club management that it in
tends running a seconG section on
the California Limited through this
month, whereas in former years the
second section has always been dis
continued in March. Other railroads
report an unprecedented amount Of
ira affic westward and state there
will be more travellers to Southern
California this summer than ever
before.
The letter calls attention to the
club advertisement appearing in
this week s issue of the Saturday
Evening Post which depicts various
scenes taken here by moving picture
companies, to show the diversity of
scenery in Southern California.

Fully 80 percent of receipts have
been of California origin.
This condition is expected to hold
for the next two months but, as
the California production of sheep
and cattle is seasonal, Los Angeles
must go into it's rich back country,

How to Overcome
Raids of Striped
Cucumber Beetle

The striped cucumber beetle at
tacks and Injuries seeding cucum-
bers, melons and related crops, but
especially the cucumber, as soon as
they appear. They even burrow
down to meet them before they
come above the ground. They de-
YOUR the tender stems and leaflets
before the plant is fairly started
gnaw the older stems and ripe
fruits and act as carriers of cucur-
bit diseases. They make their ap-
pearancc suddenly and in great
numbers, and as they work rapidly
an entire crop may be destroyed in
u few days.
In suggesting control measures,
the U. s. Department of Agriculture
colnmends that young and choice
plants in small gardens be protected
with tight coverings. If an excess
of seed is planted, the attack will
be distributed, and some of the
plants will escape the beetles, Nieo,
tine dust should be applied directly,
and arsenatc of lead used as a
spray. either alone or in eombina-
tion with Bordeaux mixture.
Care should bc'takcn to cover
every portion of infested plants,
both surfaces of leaves, vines and
stems. Clean culture with trap
plants is an aid. Active co-opera-
tion of neighboring growers of Gu,
curbits in these methods is dcsir-
able.
