Stunned as unworthy. Miss Allen has
depended upon herself. Her tri-
umphs have been won in intellectual
and solely on talents which she pos
sesses in no unstinted measure. There
are not dozen great histrionic stars
before the American public and pop
ular consent has enrolled Miss Allen
among the best. She represents the
most approved school. the school that
has given us Mansfield. Sothern.
Goodwin. Skinner. Miller. Gillette.
Miss Marlowe. Miss Adams. Miss Har-
ned. Miss Bingham. Miss Bates. Miss
Anglin and others who have gained
fame by merit alone. On the stage
she honors her calling. in private life
she honors her sex.
That this accomplished woman
should have come to Rock Island as
the star attraction of a series of ele-
vating events in local dramatic his
tory. when the tendency is to reform
the practices that have been followed
and TO relieve the public of the repel-
liant and repugnant trash that Mas
held sway, is like a CLEAN of hope in
deed.
The people of Rock Island are
weary of the ten cent repertoire and
the transforming rot that appeals
solely to the gallery gods that ruled
the old Harper theatre. They are
looking for better things in the new
Illinois. and while they were almost
despaired of realizing it in some of
the early attractions. the coming of
Viola Allen has proven n source of
joy and of inspiration.

WEATHER NOT FAVORABLE
TO FARMING OPERATIONS

| The Illinois crop bulletin says of
the week ending April IA:
Except in parts of the southern
district and the southern portion of
the central district. where work has
been delayed by wet soil, the condi-
tions have been favorable for carry
ing on farming operations during the
first two weeks of April. both on
account of the weather and of the
mellow condition of the soil. Con-
ditions have not. however. been fav-
orable for the termination and
growth of vegetation. The weather
has been too cold and. except as prev
iously stated, the soil has been too
dry. As "a consequence vegetation is
not now i'm a seasonable state"of adj
vancement. I'm many localities rain
is badly needed. Frosts were of fire.
quent occurrence in the northern
and central districts. and of occa-
Sional occurrence in the southern
district. High winds have dried out
the soil rapidly. In the northern and
central di,~ ricts it is believed there
has been some slight deterioration in
the condition of wheat. due mainly TO
roots by high winds. which blew away
the soil. In the southern district.
where more favorable conditions of
moisture have prevailed. some i'm
provement in the crop is apparent.
The average condition of the crop
throughout the state would, there
fore. appear not TO have changed
greatly. The growth of wheat has
been slightly retarded by cold
weather. In some localities rye is
not doing well. but its general con
dition is fair 10 good. The seeding
of oats has progressed fairly we'll.
and i'm some localities * entirely COM
pleted. The crop has. however. gen
orally been put. into the ground
rather late Conditions have not
been favorable for termination. and
il is feared many fields will have 10
be reSown. I'm some localities the
oats that are now up look fine. and i'm
others very poor. Many farmers
have begun 10 prepare corn ground.
The cold. dry weather of the past
two weeks has been nnfaVorable for
pastures and meadows. Reports re-
garding the condition OF grasses vary
considerably. however. In some To-
calities the prospects are reported to
be very fine. while in others they are
very poor. Rain is needed for mea-
doNs and pastures in nearly all parts
of the state. The condition of clover
* less favorable than that of other
grasses. Fairs progress has been

portion of the central district the
prospects seem favorable for fair

The welcome to Viola Allen.

The coming of Viola Allen to Rock
Island last night was event out of
the ordinary. The welcome accorded
her at the Illinois theatre by one of
the most brilliant audiences that has
assembled in the three cities not
only bore tribute 70 the lady's gen
ius. but bespoke the appreciation OF
the theatregoing people of the city
for the higher aims and ideals of the
drama. BY merit alone Miss Allen
has reached an exalted place in her
profession. Her advance has been
steady and wholesome and through
Legitimate channels. She does not
use the advertising methods common
70 men and women of the stage. She
has never been the victim of an auto
mobile accident. never had her dia-
monds stolen. never shot at burg
lar. never mixed up in divorce sean
daIs. Az these methods she has
