Anthony Hopes Greatest Novel XII
pert Of Hentzau" Continues 10
Please at the Opera House-WiIi
Be Shown for the Last Times To-
day at 2.15 and $50
Sir Anthony Hope has no just
cause for complaint as to the man
ner in which his popular romance,
Rupert of HentZau," has been trans
ferred to the screen. The entire pro-
duction Is credit to It's director, Vic
tor Herman and to Myron Selznick,
who personally supervised 1t. The
cast, which is unusually brilliant, is
well selected and each artist gives an
able characterization of the role to
which he. or she. was assigned.
|. The plot centers around an tndis-
erect letter written by Queen Flavia
elaine Hammerstein) of Ruritania
to her English lover. Rudolf Rassen-
dyll (Bert LytelD, whom she has not
seen since her marriage to the King
of Ruritanla (also played by Bert
LytelD. The missive is stolen en-
route by Rupert Of Hentzau Hew
Cody), who hopes that by turning 1t
over to the King, he may win a par
don for himself for a former con-
spiracy against the life and throne of
his royal master.
From the moment the first scene is
flashed on the screen. the interest OF
the audience is caught and 1t never
wavers through the successful pro-
duction until the final fadeout.

 This year the Bureau said they would enforce the law. F. E. Harris & Co. asked the district court to enjoin the enforcement of these criminal statutes, and Judge Thomas M. Reed said he would not do so, and furthermore that the law as written must be obeyed.
 But the Bureau still shuts it's eyes and these illegal traps still operate. Henry O'Malley and E. M. Ball still make their excuses; but don't for get it "They know their masters voice."

ABOVE LAW

Practically every trap in the Ket- chikan district is operating contrary to law.
 The Bureau of Fisheries are fully aware of that fact.
 But the Bureau of Fisheries who have been demanding the full re- sponsibility for law enforcement and who now have it are shutting their eyes to these violations of our laws by these trapmen.
 The law has been such since 1906 that these traps must have an open ing in the heart nearest the pot of the trap 25 feet wide clear down to the bottom. This was the decision of the circuit court of appeals.
 Since that decision was made the Bureau of Fisheries have written a letter to the cannerymen saying that their view of the law was quite different from that of the circuit

 Beginning Wednesday the 9th, the prices were quoted as 6c for hump ies and 1Oc for chums.
 The reduction followed the meet ing of all the cannerymen in the of flee of the Honorable Lester Gore, Assistant United States District At- torney.
 Another meeting was held by the cannerymen and trapmen on Thurs day afternoon. This time it was not in the office of the Honorable Lester Gore, Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney. At this meeting, the cannerymen again considered the matter of fish prices, and the black list which was and had been former ly prepared in the office of the Honorable Lester Gore, Assistant United States District Attorney, which list was sent out by the Hon. orable George D.

In spite of the very cold weather and a two inch

cred in Marietta Friday to the homecoming in hon
or of VIM G. McAdoo, who was born in Cobb coun-
ty, near Marietta.
Hopeless is the nation, state or county that will
not recognize the greatness of of its native sons
No doubt was left in the mind of any about
how Cobb county feels about McAdoo. Seldom was
such demonstration of welcome anywhere
Mr.. McAdoo was highly pleased with his reception
and expressed his appreciation in eloquent words at
the court house and at banquet given in his honor
at the golf club.
Cobb county has furnished more great men to the
nation than most any county Of the State and more
than perhaps many counties of the United States
She has always shown her appreciation and honored
her sons this to large measure inspires the youth
of the county to aspire to greater things and brings
added hOnors to the county.

BEWARE OF INSECTS

Mr.. James W. Legg, noted author
ity on sweet potatoes, was busy We'd
nesday loading his third car of pota-
toes for the season when a Journal
reporter called at his place of bust
ness. Mr.. Legg is very optomistic
in regard to the potato industry in
Cobb county and has studied the sit
uation from every angle. In. CON
versation Mr.. Legg said "Tell the
farmers to beware of planting slips in
lands that are filched with corn
stalks, stumpy lands and old sedge
fields, as they house wood lice and
that is the source of the punctured
potato, which makes them unstable.
Also, they should understand thor
oughly that the potatoes to be bedded
should be treated with corrosive sub
Innate to prevent blackrot, the most
common disease known to the pota-
to industry"
Mr.. Legg has worked untiringly
to promote the industry in this coun-
ty and much credit is due him for
the success that has been attained.
