SOCIETY CLAIMS VICTORY IN
FIRST BOOING OF MOVIE ADS
Little ltock. Ark . 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.

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.

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.
