Southern cotton growers and mills
are decidedly optimistic about the

at a price she would be willing to
pay. The American womans enthu-
siasiic response TO domestic llsle
stockings can have a far reaching
effect. II represents a new and inn
portant market for the Southern
cotton grower. A dozen pairs Of
stockings require a pound OF fine
cotton year. At the conservative
estimate Of three pairs Of isle stock
ings per year per woman, sales

would amount to 10000. 900 pairs. At
S1.00 per pair this represents more
than sl00-000.0 900 spent IN this conn

duct. Il would take 10000 people

WHY BRING THIS
UP SO EARLY!
1899 LICENSE PLATES ARE DIS
PLAYED IN BUTTE; THEY WERE
SAMPLES, HOWEVER

It was admittedly q trifIe pre-
mature but q Butte mOtorist few
days ago Jumped the gun" on
state officials and displayed proud
" what Is believed TO be the first
set of 1889 license plates In that
city.
Normally 1889 license plates for auto
mobiles aren't due until January or
February of next year--fully five or
six months away. And, as county Off
Gals and law enforcement officers win
tell you, they usually have their
troubles convincing motorists ia March,
April and May that the current year s
license plates would be in order.
But this Butte motorist was five or
six jumps ahead of time In displaying
his license plates. Black, with orange
letters, they displayed 'Montana~-1930
above the five numbers.
However, 1T also is admitted he'll have
10 change the plates when time comes
for 1899 licenses to be purchased. The
present plates are numbered 100000
md are samples. The motorist was
within the law, however, complement
ing the 1889 plates with regular Silver
Bow county plates for 1888.

Attractions to be enjoyed today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers Strand theater include Everybody Sing" starring Allan Jones, Judy Garland and Fanny Brice; also Swing Your Lady" with Humphrey Bogart heading the cast of famous comedians.
 Edward G. Robinson, star of many gangster pictures, is cast in his first out-and-out comedy cari- cature of the mobster character he has made SO famous in "A Slight Cast of Murder" which heads the fine twin feature program opening a four day engagement at the Strand starting Sunday.
 Robinson is cast in the role of a refined gangster who goes high-hat.
 He's no menacing, gun-toting, sim ister underworld character this time. He's fellow who was beer-baron in dry days and now, since repeal, has been trying to get along as legitimate brewer. But he's dry al heart; he's never tasted his own brew.
 His mob, which used to run rum, hi-jack rivals loads and force Ed dies beer upon the speakeasy pro prietors, are now salesmen without guns, forced to dress nicely and have daily slaves and baths. In ad- dition to all of this, his beer is so bad that nobody wants to drink it. The boys can't sell 1t, but nobody dares to tell the Big Boss whyl
 Eddie loses all of his money ex- cept about a half-million, and a rival outfit tries to get away with that.

pleting a huge dtnosaur skeleton and in promoting a million dollars to carry on the work of his mu- scum, Miss Hepburn decides she wants him. His fate is sealed from that moment, especially when she discovers he intends to marry his unattractive secretary.
 Virtually Kidnapping Grant to help her hide tame leopard her brother has sent from South America, she plunges the hapless professor into a maelstrom of ri- dculous adventures and unexpected situations that are said to make the picture the biggest piece of merri- ment of the season. The leopard is the Baby" of the title. It and a fiendish dog add plenty of feline and canine complications to the plot.
 Charlie Ruggles portrays a con- ceited big-game hunter, May Rob- son is cast as Miss Hepburn's wealthy aunt, and Barry Fitger- aid as a boastful but timorous gar- dener. Walter Catlett and Fritz Feld are also in important sup porting roles.

 Hollywood A long search was made by Director Robert Leonard to find little girl to play Jeanette Mcdonald as a child in Girl of the Golden Vest" Some couldn't sing, some couldn't act, and others couldn't manage the required south- ern accent.
 In 11-year-old Jeanne Ellis, he was sure he'd found his singer, At first he intended dubbing her voice into the mouth of some small southern-drawling actress. Then, because Jeanne also looked right for the part, he decided to try to overcome her clipped dic- ton and teach her the accent. But first he approached the girls mother, Mrs. Dorothy Butcher, and asked whether she could act. The mother said, "Why, Mistun Leonard, Slh, Ah'm shuah Jean nie can do jes' whatever you-all tell huh."
 'How come you talk that way" asked the astonished director, "when your daughter doesn't?"
 "Ah've been tryin' to knock 1t out of huh fo' three yeahs," said Mrs. Butcher, who's a Kentuckian. "Ah was told it was bad for a pictuh actress"
 They called Jeanne over and Leonard asked whether she could speak a little Kentucky - just for the picture.
 "Cose An can, suhl" said the delighted youngster. Why, that's wheah Ah,m froml"

 This department has mentioned the enthusiasm of w. s. Van Dyke for his next directing assignment, Northwest Passage" and his ex- citement continues to grow in a way that is less than flattering to the $2,500000 picture which he now is finishing - Marie Antoinette."
 Recently, while the camera was being set up to record lavish scene from French history, Van Dykes thoughts were on American Indians and pioneers. "Harry!" he yelled, almost startling the "Antoin- cite" people out of their wings and frills, "who was that Indian who played Pontiac in Windows of the Wilderness'?"
 Harry Albiez. who has been Van Dykes property man since the lat ter began working in Hollywood, searched back in his memory. "Widows of the Wildersness" was one of the series of Tim Mccoy westerns which they had done in the early 1920's. Finally he said, "That was Big Tree. An Iroquois, I
