Propagating Pineapples

Pineapples are propagated by
means of crowns, slips. suckers and
rattoons. The crown is the leafy part
of the fruit just below which small
plants form and these are left in the
field when the fruit is gathered. These
are termed slips. In the axles of the
leaves are buds and those developing
near the ground make strong plants
and are termed suckers. Buds devel-
oping from an underground part are
rattoonS.

WALTER HUSTON AND BIG ALL { STAR CAST IN THE RULING
 VOICE'-STATE SATURDAY.

"The Ruling Voice." the much- heralded true story of the inner workings of the milk trusts with Walter Huston in the role of the big boss of the ruthless game is to be seen at the Warner Bros State theater staring Saturday.
 First National in using the bril- liant story by Rowland V. and Don- aid w. Lee, has given the dynamic MT Huston highly melodramatic vehicle. They have also surround ed him with a great cast which in- cludes Loretta Young, Doris Ken yon. David Manners. John Halli- day, Dudley Digges, Gilbert Emery, Willard Robertson and the re- markable child actor, Douglas Scott.
 Walter Huston plays the part of Bannister-relentless head of an organization which decent citizens try in vain to break. It is the com ing of Gloria his daughter, who has been educated abroad in ig- norance of the source of her fath- er's wealth, that makes him pause in his mad course. The girl leaves him when she finds the truth complications of breathless in- tensity follow-and the man who wanted to leave his gang-even as lesser fry of the underworld have found-comes up against greater obstacles than even he could have imagined.
 It is a maddened victim of his rapacity who finally ends the big shots big game. A great picture with great mission. Don't miss it.

JOHN BARRYMORE IN "SVENGALI" AT NEW GARDEN

Last nights audience at the New Garden theater greeted with en- thusiastic approval, John Barry more's latest characterization "Svengali," the master hypnotist . of "Trilby," which was such a sen sation both as novel and as a play a generation ago.
 George Du Maurier who wrote ''Trilby" also illustrated it, and MT Barrymore has faithfully followed the artist in his makeup. In the wild-eyed mesmerist with lanky hair hanging to his shoulders and matted beard which the sinister fingers forever nervously caress- there Is no trace of the debonair Barrymore who is acknowledged to be the greatest of the screens great lovers.
 The romance of Trilby, the beau- tiful model, who unwittingly falls victim to the evil magic of Sven- gall, Is one of those stories which seem to possess eternal youth, like those of Faust and Marguerite or Beauty and the Beast. The scenes are laid in the fantastic haunts of the Latin Quarter In Paris and in strange dives in the picturesque lands, where the hypnotist spirits Trilby in an effort to evade her three friends, Taffy, the Laird. and Little Billee.
 The companion feature is Al ways Goodbye" with Elissa Landi, Lewis Stone and Paul Cavanaugh.
