THEATRES FOR COMMUNITY
CENTERS
This is the idea to be worked out
by woman director Mrs. Elizabeth
Werlein of New Orleans by the ap-
pointment from Will Head, moving
picture arbiter of the moving picture
industry of the United States. Her
purpose will be to organize in the five
gulf states special educational work
associated with moving pictures, so
that while raising the standards of
the pictures there will be concerted
movements in the different communi-
ties for making more use of visual
educational scheme These are some
of the plans, to have classes in school
at stated times to see perturbation of
the different courses they are pursu-
ing, to have Sunday school children
see the Bible stories displayed to
have lessons in English on the screen
at regular times for foreigners in the
cities, who wish to learn the Ian
guage. All club and societies wifi be
urged to make use of the screen for
the different phases of their work
1t is get together scheme by which
producers and spectators may both
have satisfactory profit and since the
pictures are here to stay it appears
: wise thing to direct their use as far
as possible by community planning
which is surely the most positive plan
for raising the standard of motion
pictures. Mrs. Wer1ein will bear the
title of Director of Public Relations
and Education.

People talk of ''a saturation' in
the motor industry. There is no such
thing as "saturation" in the automo-
bile world. People buy cars, use them
up, buy others.
The farmers in the country used to
buy two million buggies every Year.
We only manufacture four million
AUTOMOBILES a year now. At this
moment the COUNTRY ought easily to
absorb six or seven. million cars a
year, Every car pays for itself in time

Keep Beet Crop
Forging Ahead
RAINS HAVE GREATLY IMPROVE BEET PROSPECTS

FROM NOW ON

TNOm NOW ON
Recent rains have materially improved the beet

The splendid soil moisture conditions and the good
stands assured by the rainfall may be enhanced or lost
by future care and attention or lack thereof.
IL the sugar prices are low for the year beginning
next October high yields per acre and economical OPERA
tons will help to redeem the situation. Or if prices
are favorable the same factors will tend to increase
farm returns.
Save the moisture by timely cultivation. Prevent
Crust forming on the beet fields. Normally the inch
or two of moisture received by some districts recently.
properly conserved, will carry the crop to the regular
first irrigation in June or July.
Help the yield by timely and careful thinning. Put
the soil back around the exposed stems of the plants.
Finish thinning before the plants get too large and, if
possible, thin during cool weather. Cultivate following
thinning.
And what is most important, see that the contract
labor leaves a weD-spaced stand and that the large,
healthy Seeding rather than the weak, smaller plants
are left in the thinned stand.
Painstaking care and excellence in these details
with the beet crop in the next few weeks will mean
much toward making tonnage.
The rain was a fortunate circumstance on many
dry and ungerninated fields. But from now on nothing
should be left to accident"
