on the Situation.

age of cotton this year, as shown
by the authorities OF Southern
States, led the Manufacturers
Record this week to wire the gov.
ernors of the cotton States asking
for their opinion rs to the extent
Of the reduction to be made.
Governor Vardaman of Mississip-
pi, has entered upon II canvass of
bis State In the interest Of reduc-
tion, making direct appeal 10
growers and others, and Governor
Blanchard of Louisiana has issued
an official call urging tho growers
to promote their Individual in
terestS, as well as the interests of
the entire South, by planting a
largely decreased area in cotton
than that planted IN 1904, and the
bankers, merchants and others to
exert their influence in behalf O
such reduction. Such action by
the authorities, together with the
vigor with which other prominent
men throughout the South are
pressing the campaign, reinforce
the impressions favorable to re
duction given in the letters pub
llshed by the Manufacturers Re-
cord about month ago from
nearly thousand Southern banks
ers telling of plans in their re-
spectlve communities for a cur
tailment of the acreage. rele-
grams received from some of the
governors Will tend to strengthen
the campaign. They are as fol-
lows:
Governor James X Vardaman
of Mississippi: "Your request for
report on the question of reduc-
ton of cotton acreage In Missis-
sippi has been received. | am
now making a pretty thorough
canvass of the State, but l am not
as we'll prepared to answer your
question as ! shall be a little
later. However, l am sure that
| am within the limits of conser-
vatlsm when | say that in Missis-
sippi the cotton acreage will be
reducad not less than 20 per cent.
l believe it will go 25 per cent.
The farmers are greatly interested
In this matter, and the work of
campaigning has hardly begun.
Governor N B Broward of
Florida: 81 know of no reduction
contemplated by our farmers.
Governor j M Terrell of Geor-
gia: cat least IS per cent of the
cotton growers will reduce their
crop from 25 to 80 per cent.
Twenty-Five Per cent of the grows
ers will make only normal re-
duction. A reduction of 20 per
cent is a conservative estimate -
Governor S w L Lanham of
Texas: cit is impossible to an.
swer With any certainty. Excess.
i've rains have affected the SOWING
OF spring oats. Corn planting
has been delayed for the same
reason, and 1T is not likely that
the usual acreage will be used for
corn. In consequence it Is not
probable that the cotton acrea ge

have left an enviable impression and
the city has been benefited by the
bandmens visits to other cities. It
has been proposed that Mr.. Flaaten's
organization be contracted with to 1ur-
nish summer music in the city parks.
IL is believed that If the park board
will bear half the expense Of securing
organization the remainder can be
readily raised by popular subscription.
1t might be suggested that the con-
certs could be given in two or more
parks: at one on Sunday afternoons
and another on a week day evening

every way on a par with the best that
can be desired both in company and
production. Mr.. Clarke has never be-
lieved in lone man" companies. but
has ever gone on the policy that what
the public wants is an even and we'll
balanced performance. For this reason
he has spared nothing in order to sur
round himself with actors and actress
ses who will keep up the high stand1
ard he has set for himself. 1t is his
pride too that his productions are ever
to be remembered for their costly
mountings, and the magnificent gowns
Of the ladies. And this year he has
fallen short in no respect of his
previous endeavors. His play gives
him, it is said, a greater opportunity
then any vehicle he has yet had. He
has in 1t a role that fits him admirab-
ly, and that gives him a chance to ap-
pear once again in the character Of a
gay old boy of about fifty years. This
central figure round whose misfor-
tunes the story of the play revolves Is
one Pennte, whose domestic troubles
are the source of the fun. Himself
a lover of gaiety Pennie suffers from
a wife who Is strong willed, and who
rules the house and all that are in 1t.
She even allows her husband Just SO
much pocket money, and he in order
to increase the amount has invented
for her benefit story of an absent
boy, the offspring Of a former mar
r1ags whom he has to- support and

80 has obtained an extra hundred dol
lars each month. The play is taken up
with the incidents that occur when
the wife. bids him invite the boy to
come home, and he seems to be on
the verge Of discovery. There is per-
haps nothing SO comical as comical
despair, and Harry Corson Clarke is
a past master at the art Of depicting
it. The part fits him like a glove,
and he gets plenty of opportunity for
the display Of that fund Of quaint dry
humor that has given him prominence
in all parts of the country. Clever and
pretty Margaret Dale Owen heads the
support as the shrewlsh wife, and
sustains her high position to the full
lest advantage. In fact the whole
production is pleasing even to the
most captious Of critics, and is Of an
order that is rarely seen on the road
today. None who enjoy hearty
laughter in any quantities can afford
to miss so sterling an attraction, which
will be seen here for weeks only
commencing Monday evening, May
9Th.
