DOUBLE BILL NOW SHOWING

Thrilling Features Are The
 Counsel for Crime
 Game that Kills" and

Ice skates and gamblers with icy glares are combined with telling dramatic effect in ''The Game That Kills" the Columbia picture featur- ing Charles Quigley and Rita Hay worth, which opens tonight as one of two features at the Capitol Thea tre.
 ''The Game That Kills" was made for romance and excitement. So def initely does it achieve its goal that audiences rank it a toprptcher among Hollywood's action dramas.
 The story concerns the "acciden- tal' killing of a player in game and the efforts of his brother, played by Quigley, to solve the mys- tery.
 Quigley not only uncovers the truth and avenges the murder, but runs smack into romance with the daughter of the coach who, because Of certain bad checks, is the un- willing tool of the gambler.
 In the second feature, Counsel

A little talk with Jesus
To help you start the day,
When first you rise from slumber
Go on your knees and pray.
Just tell Him you are thankful
For rest so sweet and sound,
And ask Him to be with you
Throughout your daily round.
A little talk with Jesus,
And He will understand,
And through all cares and duties
co with you hand in hand.
He never will forsake you,
In trouble or in grief;
None ever trusted Jesus
Who didn't find relief.
A little talk with Jesus,
Oh! how it cheers the heart,
To know in all your daily cares
He takes an active part.
No matter what your problem,
Or what may be your plight,
A little talk with Jesus
Brings everything all rgiht.

are requested to get in touch with

diseases by dipping the seed in a
solution Of corrosive sublimate and
then dusting with red copper oxide
after the treated seed has become
thoroughly dry. Farmers who ex-

ious regulations which govern
these plants if they are TO receive
state inspection certificates for in

that these plants must be grown
on land which has not produced to-

that all seed shall be certified as
to variety, treated with either BIZ
chloride of mercury or Ceresan,
and grown under disease inspec-
