"The Breezy Time" aggregation play
ed to a small house last night. There
were a few new jokes and some anus
ing situations, but, on the whole, the en-
tertainment was tedious. The female
members were petite and graceful, but
had voices like cracked ice. Manager
Sessions is worthy of stronger support
and unless better attractions can be
found the management of the Atheneum
ought to pass 'em up.
The hunter is not the only party who
starts a prairie fire. 1t frequently comes
from the careless farmer in burning a
tirebreak about his stacks or houses.
The penalty for starting prairie fires is
heavy and there should be no discrim-
nation. Let all guilty parties be pun
ished. A great crop has been harvested
and is now in stack and thousands of
stacks of fine hay dot the prairies. To
have it destroyed by carelessness at this
time would be more than a disaster.
