The town council recently placed an order for a new fire alarm sys tem, which they hope to have in operation some time next month. The system consists of a large steel alloy bell, weighing 2,000 pounds, and being 48 inches in diameter, to be placed in the tower of the court house, and to be struck by an electric striker, also placed in the court house tower. The striker will be operated from the Water & Light Plant and will strike the bell any given num ber to designate the district in which the fire is. A large clock has been bought which will be installed at the plant which will automatically strike I~rsre bell twice a day, at six a. m. and six p. m. This to test out the system twice a day. The clock will be regulated day with Western Union utime, and the striking of the bell at six o'clock will give the town accurate time twice a day. Alarms will have to be telephon ed to the plant as usual. T'he town will be re-districted, and the new districts will be published for the information of the public.

John Barrymore could not be more ideally cast than in the stellar role of the film production of the sensationally successful farce, "Are you a Mason?"' prowluced by the Famous Players and the current Paramount release at ~4 I Victor Theatre, Meaday Odct. '. Twos.cape-grace,, father-in-law and sott-ln-ra*, have both hit upon the de vice of pretending to be Free Masons so as to be able to plead lodge meetings as an excuse for spending their evenings away from home. There is genuine fun in the fund; mental relationship of these two mock Masons, each of whom fears detection by the other, and the domestic and comic complications by their indiscritninate and inartistic lyingl provide a fund of humor rarely evidenc ed in stage or screen comedies. John Barrymore, as the younger bogus Moson, makes the most of the mauy hunmorous incidents in his own wonder ful style of comic portrayal, and with a 1 full appreciation of the farcical possibi lities of the plot. Others in the splen did cast include Ida Waterman. Charles 4 Dickson and Helen Freeman. The construction of the film version of this celebrated stage success admits i of a number of comic interpolations of episode and character impossible in the presentation of the original play because of the limitations of the oral drama. These additional scenes and Personages enhance the comic value of the offering and provide Mr. Barrvmore with more material for the side-splitting depiction of the young Mason than was contained I in the original farce. This hilarity-compelling feature will ( be at the Victor Theatre (ct .5 together with a Paramount Travel picture. feli ay the Cotton St.!ks.

The faIcts fromn these exleriunt nits Ihow that o(n, of' tie most effecti',e uaeauns orf Iboll wee"'il control is the early destruc tion of the green cotton .talkl.. This early destruictim of the :row ing stalks accompnllishes three things (1) D)cstructin ,f all uitmature weevils in ioll :anad squares. (2) Destrtrctiou of all food suJip plies for adnult wvecv il, cl pcilling all these weevil to do without food until cold weather forces thcu int:o hibernation. Th;is lakes the a,!dult weevil go into winter ua:rters weak from starvation and in bad aondi tion to stand the winter. (3) Destruction of all breeding places. Thus early stalk destruction diu plicates in large measure the effects' of freezing temperatures. A conservative increase in cotton .creage over most of Louisiana is advisable under present conditions To make the cottotq planted a pro fitable crop, the best cultural me thods must be adopted and all means of controling weevil damage must be used faithfully and per. sistently. Early destruction of the green and growing stalks is the first step. Where the farmers have the necessary tools, the best way to hatdle the stalks is to chop them up Gnely with a stalk cutter or disc harties. Then plow under as deep as poqslle, thtroughly covering all f fsbo.t ed up .stalks If pos-ibJe, plant some winter cover crop on the land, some of the clovers being the best. This land will then be in splendid condition for next year's corn crop. The next best way is to cut the stalks, pile and burn them as soon as leaves, stems and squares will make a quick blaze. Don't wait: until all the stalk is dry or the wee- r vil will all hatch and most of the labor will be in vain. The effort of each individual farmer in destroying his stalks will be productive of some good. l Community cooperative effort is c what is required to meet this situa- L tion in the best possible way. If t every community in the cotton a section of the State would agree I to destroy all cotton stalks by Nov v 1st at the latest and then faithful- t ly carry out the agreement it would 0 be worth thousands of dollars to the cotton farmers themselves in 1916. c This is an "earlv" cotton crop s `-~-meec n mora..v.w - You are cordially invited to come and see for yourselves the beautiful styles in Ladies' and Misses' Hats We are better prepared than ever to take care of your orders, as we have an expert designer.
