A famous play by famous au-
thor, "The Burglar" by Augustus
Thomas, also author of Alabama

seven years of age, and the costum-
ing of the ladies is very rich and ap-
propriate. A pretty love story is
entwined in the plot of 1.-THE Burg
lar" and the sensational develop
ments, though mild, are absorbing
ly interesting.
Cheese makers are not hav-
ing as prosperous a season this year
as last, but the farmers reap the ben
eft. Higher prices have been paid
for milk, the prices running from so
to IS and in some cases even soc per
hundred. The increase of prices en-
cOuraged the farmer to milk more
COWS and the season has been milk
producing one, with the abundance
OF rain and pasturage. AS result
there has been about one third more
milk and a corresponding increase
in cheese production. The price on
cheese, especially limburger, has
been unusually low this summer, and
unless prices advance, milk contrac-
tors will see little reward for their
summers work.
