Keenly Anticipated Film
Garbo and Novarro have long en-

mantic performances. Placing them
together in the most glamorous of
romantic stories was hailed long in
advance of actual jH'oduction by press
; and film fans all o\*er the country.

of the most generally anticipated pic-
tures of the year. Miss L<arbo's last

! The story of the Garbo-Novarro co-
starring vehicle is based on the life
and loves of Mata Hari, the notorious
feminine spy who was executed by a
' French firing squad after a vivid
career of intrigue which cost the lives
of manv Allied officers during the

results with "Strangers May Kiss"
and "The Unholy Garden." Settings

additional features of a picture which
is reported to set a new standard for
the cinema industry.

Later on in the summer when pas-

"TEXAS ON THE MARCH"
Texas, along with the rest of the
world, is enjoying as best it can econ-
omic depression. The more we think
of it the worse it gets. The best rem-
edy after all is to put into our busi-
ness the pioneer spirit and daring that
founded Texas and made it free. This
spirit is voicing itself in. Progressive
Texans, Incorporated, which proposes
to overcome depression by building up
Texas industries, using for that pur-
pose the power, labor, resources and
brains of Texas.
A five-year plan, culminating in the
centennial year, is in progress of for-
mation, fostered by fifteen prominent
business men under the leadership of
John W. Carpenter and sponsored by
the three regional Chambers of Com-
merce—South, East and West. Com-
mittees under efficient chairman have
been appointed to raise funds, an an
nual amount of at least $100,000 for
a five-year period, to be expended with
a minimum of overhead in the en-
couragement all over the State of the
manufacture of quality goods, to be
sold at reasonable prices. Progressive
Texans, Inc., will have haidquarters
at Austin under the direction of skilled
experts in business, and will act as
middleman to bring together producer
and consumer for their mutual benefit.
Local chambers of commerce and civic
clubs will cooperate by becoming fa-
miliar with opportunities for indus-
tries, each in its own locality, all re-
ceiving constant aid and suggestions
from headquarters.
This movement, is hy far the most
hopeful indication that Texas does not
intend to stay economically depressed.
It is not going to wait for the recov-
ery of Germany, or China, or even the
rest of the United States. Texas pro-
poses to go it alone, to develop its own
five-year plan, and to put its own un-
employment to work in useful voca-
tions.
During the next few months the
committees will probably complete the
raising of the necessary funds so as to
permit of an early start on the detail
of the comprehensive five-year plan.
By hearty co-operation Texas can be
sold to Texans and Texas put on the
map as the coming Empire State,
growing great by the constant expan-
sion of its agriculture and its indus-
tries.
canning operations. "Often they will
refuse a nice dish of cereal, but greed-
ily eat all the meat or fish they can
find." For that reason each would-be
rat exterminator was provided with
the three kinds of bait. About 55,000
cans, prepared in accordance with the
best canning factory practice, were
prepared for the group cooperating in
the fall campaign against rats on the
northeastern coast.
Two tons of alfalfa hay and 10 acres
of sweet clover returned $72.79 in
cream check in August to W. H.
Mitchell, Iago potato farmer who
plants sweet clover primarily as a soil
builder, or at least did, prior to the
time when he added cows to his sys-
tem of diversification. His best cow
returned $12.96 while the poorest one
paid only $4.82, according to the coun-
ty agent of Wharton county.
Poisoned Rat Food May Come Ready
Mixed in Cans
Tasty food for destructive rodents,
well sprinkled with red squill, a re-
cently developed rat poison, was can-
ned this fall in New England as part
of the systematic anti-rat campaigns
conducted with the cooperation of the
Biological Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The same food has been prepared in
large quantities in past campaigns,
but always for immediate use. This
year's neat little paper-wrapped pack-
ages, each containing three cans—one
filled with fish, one with meat, and
one with cereal, all mixed with enough
red squill to accomplish the desired
result—can be held indefinitely. The
canned bait was developed for use in
systematic cooperative campaigns and
can be obtained at cost from local
county agents or farm bureaus.
"Sometimes rats are finicky about
their food," says James Silver, the
Federal biologist who supervised the
Plants Should Be Moved In Accordance
With Law
Ignorance of the plant quarantine
laws enforced by State and Federal
officials is no excuse for violating such
laws. Persons who wish to move plants
from one locality to another should
first learn if such movement is in ac-
cordance with laws enacted and enfor-
ced to prevent the spread of plant
pests and diseases. Such information
can always be obtained from State
agricultural departments or the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In assessing fines aggregating $300
against six defendants who had plead
guilty to violation of the Japanese
beetle quarantine, in transporting sod
in quantities from an infested area
into free territory, United States Dis-
trict Judge G. M. Borquin sitting at
Trenton, N. J., refused to permit ig-
norance of the law to be admitted as
a plea.
"We are all presumed to know that
law, even the Judge. It's all right for
the beetles to walk on the highways
by themselves, but you can't give them
a lift," Judge Borquin remarked, ad-
dressing the defendants at the time
the fines were announced.
Most efforts to evade plant-pest
quarantines are made bv persons ig-
norant oi indifferent in request to the
industries protected by the regula-
tions, department officials say. In
other instances, smuggling is under-
taken for definite monetary gain.

JACKIE COOPER ANI) WALLACE
BEERY AS FATHER AND
SON IN CAST
Poignant human interest, comedy
and details of the exciting life in a
Mexican border town mingle in the
first appearance on the screen to-
gether of Wallace Beery, hei'O of "The
Big House," and Jackie Cooper, fam-
ous for "Skippy."
The pair are teamed in "The
Champ," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's viv-
id drama, coming Wednesday and
Thursday, to the Colonial Theatre,
Bay City.
Beery plays an old prize fighter,
living with his small son in a bor-
der town where he is everlastingly
trying to make a "comeback." There
is a sensational prize fight, thrills of
racing at Caliente, and through it
runs the stirring story of a father's
love and his sacrifice to give the child
the "break" he never could have.
King Vidor Directed
King Vidor, whose sensational suc-
cess with "Street Scene" and "The
Big Parad©" are history, directed the
new production and a notable cast ap-
pears, including Irene Rich, Rosco
Ates, Edward Brophy, Hale Hamil-
ton, Jesse Scott and Marcia Mae
Jones. Frances Marion, author jf
"The Big House" and "Min and Bill,"
wrote the story.
One of the poignant dramatic epi-
sodes takes place in a Mexican prison
where the father, having been arrest-
ed, realizes he is a failure and re-
solves to sacrifice the boy, sending
him to a rich mother who can give him
the proper environment. The two
stage one of the most gripping scenes
ever enacted on the screen in this
dramatic parting. Beery's fight in
the arena, in his final attempt at a
"come back," and the pathetic death
scene are other heart-gripping details.
