Cotton Seed Treatment Worth
S2.320.0OO In 1898

Treating cotton seed with 2 percent
Ceresan was worth $2,32OO0O to grow
ers of North Carolina in 1888, reports
0. P. Owens of the Department of
Plant Pathology of State College. APP
proxim.ltely 100000 acres were planted
with treated seed this year, and the
average increase in yield of treated
fields as compared with untreated
seed was 149 pounds per acre.
At the current price of lint ard
seed this resulted in a net increase IN
total value of 1888 per acre after de-
Quoting 25 cents per bushel for the
cost of treating the seed, Owens said.
This is despite the very unfavOrable
v.oaCher conditions, severe boil weevil
infestation, and the lower price paid
Ior cotton.
Owens reported the results of de-
monstrations conducted by the De
partment of Plant Pathology through
out the cotton growing counties of the
State. The records show that 423
plants emerged per 100 feet of row
where treated seed were used against
275 where untreated seed were used;
that there were II dead plants per
100 feet of row on the treated acres
as compared with 81 dead plants on
untreated rows; that 81 percent of
the living plants on the treated rows
were diseased while 70 percent of
those on the untreated rows were dis
eased; and that an estimated yield
Of 1881 pounds of seed cotton per acre
was obtained from treated areas while
only 932 pounds per acre grew on &c
untreated plants.
Marked progress has been made in
treating cotton seed under the Ex
tension program which has been in
progress three years, Owens declared.

SARATOGA TO END TONIGHT
 AT CAPITOL
Clark Gable, Jean Harlow Seen in Comedy Drama
 of Race Track

Thrills, laughs, drama and TO- nance mingle in a literal cross sec tion of American racing life in Saratoga" Metro Goldwyn- Mayer drama of the turf, which brings Clark Gable and Jean Harlow to the Capitol Theatre, for the last time tonight.
 Penned by the authors of San Francisco" Anita Loos, and Robert Hopkins, it has handling of the thrills, such as the great race that climaxes the story, much of the same virile quality. Miss Harlow and Gable hate, fight, and finally love in a romance now whimsical comedy, now tense drama Jack CCnways direction is as skillful as it was in ''Libeled Lady," and Lio- nel Barrymore contributes one of his outstanding haracterizations as the old race horse breeder.
 Saratoga" tells the story of the daughter of rich horse owner and a bookmaker, her fathers friend, whom she hates and fights and then loves Intrigues over ringing bets, plot and counterplot behind the scenes in the paddock, and fi- nally, the sensational racing eli max worked out on a new dramatic twist, keep the picture packed with action Against this action the TO- mantle story is developed.
 Una Merkel and Frank Morgan appear as new hilarious comedy team, Walter Pidgeon plays fine part, and Cliff Edwards adds laughs and song George Zucco, Jona- than Hale, Hattie McDaniels, Fran kie Darro and Henry Stone are among the principals.

 This and such other services as filling radiators and topping up batteries are performed free by most filling stations which depend on good will for much of their business.
 But the garagemen say the serv- ices cost them several pounds a week in time and they are dis turbed over "undercutting" by fill ing stations.

name in the book, and, second, be in such proximity to the theatre as that he could claim the prize after his name was announced. If he is not required to purchase a ticket of admission to the theatre either as a condition to signing the registration book or claiming the prize when his name is drawn, the paying admission to the theatre added nothing to the chance.
 We have reached the conclusion that we have no statute under which we can say that the scheme gen. orally followed in the Territory by our theatres is either gaming or a lottery, and, this being so, there is nothing to bring the transaction under the terms of our Nuisance Act. We do not, by this action, ex- press our approval of the very wide spread custom of distributing money at moving picture theatres, on what is variously called Bank Night, Sil- yer Night and Etc.
 Tn our opinion detailed discussion of this argument is not required, because our statute definitely re- quires that, in order to constitute a lottery, payment must be given for the opportunity to participate. Although signing ones name in a book or appearing at the theatre at the time of the drawing might be regarded as consideration, it can- not be called pay without warping that word out of all recognition. For the purpose of creating lot tery, consideration must be some thing of value.
 'The problem presented by bank night, and similar schemes is to de- termine whether it is an evasion of the statute or an avoidance of it, and this question is essentially one of fact. Tn answering this question, we do not propose to close our eyes

Handling of Drinks
 Is an Old Problem

1. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.--Modegn perplexity over what to do with alcoholics had its parallel in an- cient times, says Dr. Arthur Patch McKinlay, professor of Latin at the University of California at Los An geles. Some laws treated a drunken offender more leniently than so- Der one, some more severely, his studies showed.
 In the Greek town of Locri, in southern Italy, the code of zaleu- GUS allowed lady one attendant, but she was entitled to two if she were drunk.

to reality. The test by which to de- termine the answer to this question is not to inquire into the theoreti- cal possibilities of the scheme, but to examine it in actual practical operation. As we understand the ac- tual situation under consideration, free participation is reality. If this is so, then, regardless of the motive which induced the theatre to give such free participation, the scheme is not within the ban of our statute
