little hope for obtaining q good set

Small seed oysters may be Sc

and spawning grounds may easily
be established by putting down
adult oysters and enough shells for
the spawn to catch on.
The season is too far advanced
now, though, and the heat will be
too great to expect any spawning in
August. The entire success Of the
restoration Of the industry in the
state depends on how long the oys-
tiers take to adapt themselves TO the
new grounds.
The adaptation usually takes a
year or more and the best hope we
have is that the ground will be re-

AT THE CAPITOL

AL Jolson, Broadway's famous
song-bird. and recently the star OF
that famous hit, The Jazz Singer
comes to the Capitol theater on
Friday in The Singing Fool" in
which this popular entertainer
speaks from the screen and sings
many songs that Will win their way
into your heart. For III The Sing
ing Fool" Jolson is superb. HIS
magnetic personality that has won
for him an outstanding reputation
behind the tootlights. is as vital e.
ever on the screen. And it can be
added, too, that his voice is heard
as clearly and as distinctly through
the Vitaphone as if ne were actually
singing on the stage. The entire
production has been eXpertly ham
died and in tne opinion OF al New
York critics who were preSen. at the
premier in New York. The Singing
Fool" is a distinct triumph Tor Al
Jolson and Vitaphone.
Supporting Mr.. Jolson are Jo-
sephine Dunn and Betty Bronson
who play the leading feminine roles.
Both give finely interpreted char
acter portrayals and are the pos
sessorse of clear. well-m0dulated
voices, that enhance the dramatic
value of their performances. Play
ing a smaller role. but perhaps as
vital as any. is Davey Lee, three
year old screen prodigy. who Is cast
as Jolson's baby boy. Davey Is also
heard to speak his lines and his
natural, unaffected soft tones. are
so well done as TO cause reviewers
to become wildly enthusiastic.
Jolson sings many songs during
the course Of the picture. Some OF
them are old time ~fayorites which
he renders with his usual anima-
ton. Among the songs most az Us
know so well but never tire Of hear
ing Jolson sing are: Tin Sitting on
Top of the World" Troubles 4
Bubble 1T All Depends On YOU
and Golden Gate" And there Is
the theme song Of the picture called

which has become the song Int Of

Curlews Soon To
Fly From Hawaii
To Alaska Shores

WASHINGTON, June 6.-CP)-
The original trans-Pacific flyers,
bristle-thighed curlews. soon will be
on the wing from Hawaiian winter
quarters for another summer in
northern Alaska. The birds have
been seen to arrive in the north in
the latter part Of May, summering
there until mid-August. Then they
start southwark v the ocean to
Hawaii.
Science has yet to study the birds.
for little is known about them de-
spite the fact that they were dis
covered more than lao years ago.
Ornithologists do know that the
good reputation of the bird as a
flier is not followed by an equally
m~eritorious life on land.
Organized banditry is practiced
by the curlews. working in troupes
in securing nesting grounds for eggs
Of other birds.

OYSTER BEDS
ARE STOCKED

WASHINGTON, June 6.-tP-
Destroyed by the fresh water OF
swollen rivers, oyster beds of Mo-
bile Bay, Ala, may not be expected
to yield until 1891, even with i'm
mediate restocking, according to
scientists Of the bureau of fisheries.
A survey Of the beds by DR.. P. s.
Galtsoff and DR.. r. II. Luce dis
closes that there remains less than 6
per cent OF the oysters on the prin-
cipal reefs in and around the bay,
covering $500 acres.
Record rains. raising
rivers to the highest levels in So
years, filled the bay with fresh wa
ter. Oysters, to survive, aust be IN
water containing from one to two
and one-half per cent of salt.
The scientists. following their
survey, recommended that 250,000
barrels of shells and oysters are
needed to reseed the beds and re-
store them to commercial value.
An emergency measure, appro-
priating $4,000 for restocking the
devastated reefs. is pending before
congress awaiting action in the
present session.

III THE Desert Song" which Is now
at the Palace Theater, McAllen. and
which will go down in screen history
as the first musical play to be trans
ferred in its entirety 10 the motion
picture screen.
Other "all-talking" pictures had
already been made by Warner
Brothers. and also many which in
cluded singing. but when they I'M
dertook the production Of THE
Desert Song" they were confronted
with q new problem-the i.clusion
OF q large chorus for the ensemble
numbers, with its members grouped
all over the settings which consti-
tuted the scenes Of the play.
How well they met this situation
is indicated by the fact that the
chorus consists of n hundred men
and women. and that they bring 10
the screens first operetta the most
glorious ensemble work ever heard
N America.
Many Of the singers were scioists
who had never before worked III
chorus, or who had graduated from
that estate into principal parts, snd
that the ensemble of The Desert
Song might almost be described
rs a chorus OF principals. Sigmund
Romberg's lifting music Is played
b. the Vitaphone Symphony Or
chestra.
The all-star cast includes John
Boles, Carlotta King. Louise Fa-
zenda. Johnny Arthur. john lbljan
Myrna 10y. Jack Pratt, Mare
Wells. Edward Martindel. Robert
l.. Guzman ard many others. and
was produced under the direction
Of Roy Del Ruth. Harvey Gates
adapted the book Of the operetta to
the screen.
The desert scenes are exception
ally beautiful.

CANADA AND THE. TARIFF

Dispatches from Canada indicate that the people Of the Dominion are carefully watching what Con- gross proposes 10 do about the tariff.

 It so happens that Canada IS our best customer, During the last two months Canadians bought sl60,0po,- GOO in American goods If we raise the tariff to shut out Canadian grains, dairy products and other things they sell us. up will go the Canadian tariff wall against Ameri- can manufactured goods. And If that is done we will lose more than the Canadians, in addition to hard feel ings that will be developed between two very friendly nations.
