Aug. .j.?Encouraged by their own sound effects, members of the society for the booing of commercial advertisements in motion picture theaters pressed today a campaign to make movie-goers "boo conscious." Approximately thirty members of the society, over half of them women, drowned in lusty chorus last night all commercial advertising shown on the screen at Little Bock's largest theater Ignored by the booers were two policemen placed on guard at the rear of the theater, house lights suddenly glaring at the tirst chorus of "boos," and amused stares from other patrons. Secretary M. C. Blackmon claimed a victory.1 "The theater obviously curtailed Its commercial advertising feature," he commented, claiming several familiar sequence were missing from the routine. "However, the first ad to be flashed on the screen was one that has served more than any other to arouse the resentment of local theater-goers. Hence, .we had an opportunity to vent our displeasure despite the reduced footage. "We shall continue our campaign until the theaters do one of two things: Give a reasonable rebate to patrons as payment for enforced attention to the commercial advertisements or eliminate the commercials entirely." Theater Manager Kalph Noble, who left before the booing started, id used to discuss tin- situation, handing out a prepared statement saying "1 am inclined to think this is Mr. Blackman's party." Blackman said Noble met some of the booers on their way into the theater and indicated disapproval of their plans. Chief of Police James A. Piteock, who investigated in advance, warned against any "rough-house' tactics and added : Hut there's no law against booing." HIGHWAY TO FAIRFIELD^ LINE SOON TO BE IMPROVED 1 he state highway department lias assured the Camden Chamber of Commerce that despite reports to the contrary Highway No. 34 from C. S. No. 1, near Lugoft to the Fairfleld county line will he paved with a bituminous surfacing early next year. There have been persistent reports current that the No 34 highway was to he relocated and a shorter and more direct route established between No 1 highway and Hidgeway. Camden business men in general have voiced emphatic objection to a change in the highway location and hold that while the suggested relocation might mean a shorter route, that it would not serve within several hundred of the number of people the present' route serves. Efforts will be made by the Chamber of Commerce to have the stat* highway commission-take care of tha sui facing of the highway this year. The highway at the present time is in a poor condition for travel, in that it has not been given proper maintenance. Four of eight men arrested during the steel strike at Warren. Ohio, on charges of possession and control of explosives, have been sentenced to terms of one to twenty years in prison. \ ill . News Of Interest In And Near Bethune Bethune, Aug. It.?Mr. and MrB. C.

THE OLD SWIMMING HOLE BECOMING THING OF PA8T The old swimming hole of our youth was very enjoyable and had an informal charm because of alfhost complete lack of restrictions regarding clothes, behavior, rules and sanitation. The bathers often practised nudism but girls were not allowed in or near such a strictly boys area. Many boys learned to swim at these much frequented places but the enjoyment was often marred by accidents caused diving in shoal water, hitting known or unknown snags and by drowning or near drownings. The damage and sickness caused by reason of bathing in polluted water and by entire lack of attention to cuts, bruises, sores and communicable deseases or bathers was difficult to estimate. The bathing areas in our state parks are so located to take advantage of water supplies of known purity. All snags and dangerous obstructions are removed from the bathing spaces. Limiting ropes and buoys designated the allowable swimming areas. Life guards overlook these areas and are on the alert to advise and assist swimmers. First aid is rendered immediately by the life guards thereby reducing the danger of infection and in serious cases giving relief until proper medical attention may be secured. . Bathhouses are scrubbed thoroughly daily and antiseptic foot troughs reduce the Bpread of foot infections. The old swimming hole is rapidly going out of favor. The swimming pool and the planned and safeguarded swimming places, particularly in our system of state parks, are replacing it. Swimming is taught in the parks free, with special attention given to^ children. Parents much prefer the modern swimming area for their children both from the health and moral viewpoints and send their children to the parks to learn to swim. The children of our farmers and cities find the modern swimming place Just as alluring as the old swimming hole and are keenly aware of the arguments which they can marshall to break down parents nati^ral aversion to giv-' ing the necessary permission to go swimming. Nothing is quite so refreshing as a swim in the modernized "swimming hole" of today. James H. Price has been nominated for governor of Virginia by the Democrats, over Stat* Senator Vivian L.

Proper Ginning Will Raise Values Clemson, July 31.?How the vaw of cotton can bo increased much as $4.60 a bale has been demonstrate in testa at the experimental laboratory of the United States IV partment of Agriculture, at Stonevllfe Miss., according to reports recshJ by R. W. Hamilton, assistant to the director of the South Carolina ExtlT. alon Service. Artificial drying apparatus at the laboratory Improves the quality 0f green, damp, or wet cotton, and other devices clean "trashy" cotton, Un Mr. Hamilton. The beneficial effects from loose seed roll ginning and the use of gin saws and brushes In good condition are also being demonstrate ed. ' ~ The average value of lint ginned from green, damp, or wet cotton h? been increased from 70 centB, f0r a group of short staple cotton to $2.60 per bale for a group of long staple cotton, by artificially drying them and improving the resulting grade. Lint (fruity differences in favor of cleaning a number of cottons picked -In trash condition have been enough to cause bale value benefits of $1 jj many Instances. Lint quality damages from tight seed roll, as compared with loose seed .roll ginning, were sufficient to cause average bale value losses ranging from 60 cents for ? group of dry cottons of short staple lengths to $4.50 -for a group of green, damp, or wet cottons of long staple length. Use of badly worn saws, it *a$ found, may cut the value of a bale of short staple cotton $1 a bale, or long staple $2 a bale. BETTER QRA88 VAR1ETJE8 AIM OF PA8TURE RESEARCH Single grass plants In a pasture do not get much attention because ttunre are so many of them, but a pasture is the sum of the Individual plants In It as surely as a crop of corn is the sum of all the corn plants in the* field. Farmers seed the more produc*. tive strains of wheat and other cereals. But generally they overlook the point that there probably is m. much difference In bluegrasses, for example, as there is In wheats. Onej i plant may produce several times si much feed as another, and if all the bluegrass plants In a pasture were as good as the best of them, that kind of pasture might well provide feed for more animals for a longer season. This Is roughly the idea back ci Federal and State pasture research. P. V. Cardon, In charge of pasture, plants for the United States Department of Agriculture, points out that grass breeding has lagged behind,* while cereals have been improved by' selection of desirable single plant* and by the crossing of varieties toV combine the best features of each. The grass research program of the Department calls for continuing studies of pasture management, fertilise tests, and seeding methods, but it ah-so provides for special attention t#_ selecting and breeding better varietiel of grass plants, kinds that will add up to a larger total In feed value.
