'Millie/ Mighty Best
Selling Story Comes
to Colonial, Bay City
"Nobody owns me. I own myself.
I'm myself, all alone, living my own
life!" That is the philosophy of "Mille"
born of her contact with men.
"Millie" is the fiery-haired heroine
of the Donald Henderson Clarke novel
which has been produced foi Radio
Pictures by Charles R. Rogers, and
opens Tuesday, May 19, at the Colon-
ial theatre.
"Millie's" story is that of a young
girl whose heart takes her from a vil-
lage school room to the wife of n
philandering New Yorker. Her faith
in love is rudely shaken by the af-
fairs of her husband, but her faith
in men is still intact until she has
given her heart to a young reporter
who also tires of her caresses and
shows a preference toward blondes.
With the close of these two unfor-
tunate flurries in romance she be-
comes an advocate of independence.
She closes her heart to men and her
romantic affairs are carried on in a
superfical way. She attempts to treat
men as they have treated her and suc-
ceeds until she finds that man is strik-
ing at her from another source. At
this point the gaiety of the story
gives way to seething drama bringing
on a tremendous climax.
Helen Twelvetrees who, has recent-
ly been hailed in emotional roles such
as "Her Man," is cast as a flame-hair-
ed girl. The supporting cast includes
Lilyan Tashman, Robert Ames, Joan
Blondell, John Hailiday, James Hall
and Anita Louise. "Millie" was direct-
ed by John Francis Dillon.
FARM NOTES
(Continued from Page 1.)
The flea beetle is a very small, dark
colored bug that jumps like a flea
when disturbed. They often do damage
to plant beds. They also feed on young
beans and other garden crops, such
as potatoes, tomatoes, beans, egg
plant, etc. The leaves look like they
have been punctured by small shot.
These bugs are hard to kill but may
be kept away by dusting with a "re-
pellent,'• such as wood ashes, tobacco
dust, hydrated lime or lime copper
dust. Spraying with bordeaux mix-
ture also acts as a repellant and in
tomato beds it is a valuable fungicide.
Plant lice are very small, soft bodied
insects that suck the juices out of the
leaf. We find them of various colors
and mostly without wings. Prevention
or early treatment is very important.
The cabbage plant grower must watch
these bugs also the flower gardner
and truck grower. When the lice ap-
pear in the field on the plants they
must be dusted with nicotine sulphate
dust. This is made by mixing one
pound of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate
liquid with 50 pounds of hydrated
lime. For the small garden, use one oz.
of the liquid to three lbs. of lime. Put
the lime in a tight drum and roll un-
til it is thoroughly mixed. For the
small amount use a lard can. Put the
lime in and pour in the liquid, rolling
and shaking until it is well mixed. Be
sure to get the dust under the leaves.
It is best to make up this dust as
needed as it is more effective when
fresh.
Texas farmers started down hill
when clean cultivated, one crop cotton
drove the livestock off the farm.

Boat Trip to the
Gulf Is Enjoyed
(Crowded Out Last Week)
A pleasure party of thirteen guests
on board the "Lady Pilot," with the
Aliens in charge, set sail Monday of
last week headed for the Gulf, return-
ing Thursday.
The trip over was a delightful one,
dinner was served on the way. Our
first stop being Half Moon Reef, where
we fished the rest of the day. oamping
for the night at Boat Harbor. Next
morning Captain Allen drove to Cot-
ton Bayou, arriving at a rather early
hour. Breakfast was served going
over. Upon arrival at the Gulf, al-
most all left the boat, some fishing,
some sight-seeing, shell hunting, etc.
The attractions of all the cities could
not compare with those hours of pleas-
ure, viewing natural scenery and in-
haling good pure salt air.
After a long forenoon's ramble, we
headed our foot-steps toward the boat
for dinner. After partaking of a well
cooked dinner and resting a while we
again started out to explore with bas-
kets, boxes and sacks to convey sea
shells, relics, etc. The men, equipped
with many throw lines that resembled
clothes lines and fish hooks that looked
like stove pokers, prepared to catch
anything of the finny tribe that op-
portunity would permit. After load-
ing up with relics and sea shells 'till
we could hardly carry them we again
headed for the boat, tired, but happy.
After supper some played games,
while others went floundering, and at
a late hour all retired for the night to
be woke up next morn by Mr. Smith,
who won't let anyone sleep any longer'
than he did. He rather had hard luck
the night before by loosing the game
and having to wipe the dishes. He
said on the way over he would do any-
thing we could get him to do and I'll
say that was not much. However, we
did persuade him to wipe dishes Once!
He says he is not afraid of work, can
lay right down by it. Well, you see
we would not have had so much fun if
he had not been along. It was his job
to keep the bunch in good spirits.
Mr. Whitney always had to go see
to his fish line, if anyone asked him
to do the dishes or sweep the floor.
He won the prize for catching the first
fish by being 011 the job all the. time.
Wednesday morning was spent fish-
ing and gathering sea shells and after-
dinner Captain Allen pulled anchor
and "Lady Pilot" glided the water to
Portsmouth Hotel Reef, where we
again fished, camping there for the
night. Music and games were enjoy-
ed until a late hour, when all retired
| for the night.
We fished again the next morning,
returning to Palacios, after a most en-
joyable trip. All expressed a desire
to make another such trip real soon.
—One Who Was There.
After leaving the hotel where he
had registered, James Lyons of Wor-
cester, Mass., forgot its name and
appealed to police.
Thomas H. Ward. 89, of Conway,
j Ark., who acquired a marrying habit
when he was a young man, has just
been wedded for the eighth time.
Becase he wished to do his Saturday
marketing and it was a bother hav-
ing a prisoner around, the chief of
police of Rosebank, N. J., a jailless
town, handed an arrested man a war-
ant and sent him to the chief of police
at Orange, N. J.
