Didn't Like il, AS YOU Like It,"

There's no use talking, if our old
friend Bill Shakespeare wants to make
hit in DEBORAH, he's got to change
his tactics He has tried it Two or
three times this season, and only once
did he give reasonable satisfaction.
There was little about the production
of ''As You Like 1t" at the Grand
Friday evening to commend itself to
the audience. Miss Gale is not so
bad. and the rest are not so good. On
ly one thing can be said about it, our
people didn't like it, and they will
rebel if another attempt to spring
Shakespeare upon them is made this
season.

The way l set out my elm trees is
to dig hole in the ground, put in
some rotten manure about a year old,
then put in some rich soil from my
garden over the rotten manure. then
set the fine fibrous roots onto this rich
soil, then cover with same kind OF
dirt or some as good. then mulch on
top we'll with coarse manure from
barn yard. This take along in my
wagon to make good job. Trees
planted in this way are most sure to
grow, and make rapid growth. Joel
