swings a punch against the parole
system.
Like Universals recent picture

Cabot impresses as Jekyll-Hyde
character, who is model son at
home but a congenial criminal else
where. His father (Stone) becomes
a member of the parole board and
is instrumental in obtaining his re-
lease upon his promise to leave the
country. Instead, he attempts one
final robbery and is in the act of
killing a detective when his father
intervenes and shoots him down.
Gleason gives an amusing per-

which were purchased by Impe-
rial county. These were the first
bonds the county ever purchased.
1t was necessary because the issue
was SO small banks and other
agencies refused to bother with
them, Charles G.. Halliday, deputy
district attorney, explained.
A total of $1,000 was raised by
--e district from the bond sale
ID insurance from the old build
ing. The trustees then decided to
build the structure under the
Works Progress administration
The WPA agreed to provide $4,000
for all labor and $1,515 for the
materials. The district was to put
up the balance.
Materials were bought under
contract and the work progressed
satisfactorily until the WPA was
faced with shortage of men. The
work dwindled and stopped. The
district had to put up money for
almost all of the labor used and
therefore did not have sufficient
money to complete the building.
Monday the trustees and Don
Wells, the architect who planned
the building, agreed to relieve
Wells of further responsibility be-
cause he did not wish to be in
volved in further delay.
The trustees now hope to be able
to get the building finished rough
ly so the pupils may be housed
~>'ring the coming term.

Reports that the Townsend move

place the North Dakotan's name

get Lemke on the ballot" Margett
said. ITO accomplish that, his
supporters have tried to get the
official aid of the movement.
However, the Cleveland con-

Shows of the week:
Swing Time"-CRKO)-
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
for the first time in their joint
careers have to work at top speed
to retain top honors in their latest
musicomedy flicker. They manage
to do it but the sparkling comedy
of Helen Broderick and Victor
Moore comes a close second.
The net result is the most rollick-
ing picture in the Astaire-Rogers
chain.
Story starts off at pall-bearer
pace but quickly gathers momentum
when Astaire as a fortune-hunting
dancer reaches New York with his
doting elderly sidekick, Deadpan
Victor Moore. BY chance of their
own making, Astaire forces an ac-
quaintance with Miss Rogers, an in
structress in a dance school; and
Pop (Moore) with her chum, Dead
pan Miss Broderick. How four con-
trive to avert, and then stimulate
romance makes top flight comedy.
Unlike their more recent pictures,
Miss Rogers dancing suffers more
by contrast with Astaire's and the
camera is not always kind to her,
but she offsets these disadvantages
by remaining her usual personable
self. Music in picture is not Jerome
Kern at his best, but projects one
sure hit "The Way You Look To-
night"

Georges Metaxa stand out else

suffice" He presents the formulas and tells how to use them.
 The most costly of the insect pests are the potato flea beetles and the wireworms. Potato flea beetles Heck the leaves of the plant with shot holes, making them useless for cigar wrappers or binders. Their damage last year, reducing some grades of tobacco worth $4.00 a pound to 50 value, was estimated at $1,O00,- 900. They may be controlled in the seedbed by the regular application of Bordeaux mixture. In the field, repeated experiment prove that the application of four to six pounds of barium fluosilicate dust to the acre, reduces the beetle population mark edly.
 As to wireworms, several control methods are suggested but the most reliable is also the most expensive. It is the use of calcium syanide in the soil. Observations on cyanide treatment of tobacco soils infested with wireworms have conclusively shown a kill of from 75 to 85 per cent, and fields thus treated have not been reinfested over Q period of six or seven years." MT. Lacroix asserts.
 With the help of the table on sea- sonal chronology and the keys given in this bulletin, any grower may diagnose and treat his own case or insect trouble.

Insect injury to tobacco in the Connecticut Valley was estimated at approximately $2,000,000 in 1895 by Dr. P. J. Anderson of the Tobacco Substation at Windsor. Chief of- lenders were the flea beetle and wireworms. But about 20 pests dam- age the crop here, according to Donald F. Lacroix who has been inc vestigating the subjects for six sum- mers at the Substation. His hand book-Insect Pests of Growing To- bacco in Connecticut--has just been published as Bulletin 370 of the Ag- ricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. It is complete report of his findings, systematically ar- ranged to help the grower in his problems with insects, injury and control.
 There are two kinds of insects, MT. Lacroix points out, those that chew, and those that suck the juices from the plants. Stomach poisons, usually sprays in the seedbeds and dusts in the field, are recommended for the chewers. A contact ilsecticide that actually touches the body is neces- sary to kill the sucker. The author includes formulas that have proved best in local experiments and tells how to mix and apply dusts. He also has suggestions to offer on clean culture, regular inspection of toe bacco fields. cleaning up weed patch es that breed pests and other methods that successful growers have adopted in Connecticut.
