1.-THE COVERNESS"
On May 23rd. The Climax of
Amateur Art.

fAtIldI0OT ATls
When one attends an amateur
theatrical performance he wisely
makes up his mind, "To be to
their faults a little blind and to
their virtues, very kind"
But such a resolution will not be
needed by those who attend the
forthcoming performance of Effie
Ellser's great society drama, "The
Governess." The production will be
complete in every detail and the
cast adequate in every way. The
success of local performance de-
|pends entirely upon three points,
the value of the play as drama
tic work, the ability of the cast,
and the efficiency of the director.
These points have been carefully
looked after by the Ladies' Auxili-
ary of the Y. M. G. A. In "The
Governess" is a dramatic story of
known and recognized value. A
play noted for its beauty OF con.
struction, naturalness of situations
and finely drawn characters. In
selecting the cast, great care has
been shown in selecting persons
with the natural adaptness for each
part he or she will depict. In Sc
curing Mr.. Curtiss as director,
they have chosen a man Of wide
experience and who takes great
pride in his work, one who has
been in dramatic work for nearly
thirty years. Press comments from
all parts of the country speak of
his entertainments in the highest
terms. With these essentials, the
performance can be patronized by
all, with the assurance that they
will receive full value for both
time and money.
Miss Mona Nickel will be seen
in the name part of "The Cover
ness" and her many friends will be
more than delighted with her ar
tistic conception Of this part.
Mr.. Bunnell, as the "Society
wolf" will give most careful in
depreciation of this extremely diff
cult role. Mr.. Mclean, as the
manly young lawyer, DR.. Riggs,
as "Jake" the tramp, will present
impersonations that cannot fail
to please. The others of the
large cast will ably fill all requir-
ments. Such performances are a
credit to all concerned and should
be we'll patronized as Rev. De Witt,
Talmage once said, ''Pure whole
some drama lightens life's burdens
and broadens the scope of our ideas
Seats will be found at the post

viii Be No Delay.

Prof. Miles Reed of the State
University while here last week
said there would be no delay in the
erection of the new administration
building destroyed by fire and that
the fall term would open in excel
lent condition. All of the insur-
ance money will be paid and
work on the new building will

be early winter before it is com.
pleted other buildings now in
course of construction will serve
all necessary purposes until that
time. Much apparatus and equip.
ment has already been ordered and
at the beginning of the new term

cellent condition to do good work

a meeting OF general interest to Utah
citizens and OF especial concern to sheep
breeders was held Tuesday at the office

The secretary OF this board is Arthur a.
Calltetcr OF Salt Lake.
Purpose Of Meeting.
The object OF the meeting was to per
feet plans and devise means for carrying
these plans Into execution for cradicntinC
the disease known as "scab" from tho
hocks OF sheep In the State. To this end
The State and Federal officers VIII work
In harmony, and upon every subject
brought UP at Tuesdays meeting there
was perfect unanlmity In every detail.
Members OF the Utah Wool-Growers nsso-
ciatlon were also in attendance through
part Of the deliberations.
Compulsory Dipping,
1t was decided at the meeting 10 mako
compulsory the dipping OF every sheep In
Utah Immediately after shearing time the
coming season. The Utah commissioners
VII look after the enforcement of thlo
order throughout the State. except on res
crvatIons and forest reserves. and in
those places the Federal authorities will
sec TO II that the order is rigidly en-
forced When IL Is considered that there
nre upward OF SO0O,OOO sheep in the State
the enormity OF this undertaking can best
be realized
Efficacy of Dipping.
The territory over which Ir Hlckox
has jurisdiction includes Utah, Idaho.
Washington. Wyoming, Nevada. Calfor-
MIA, Oregon and parts OF Montana and
Arizona. The efficacy of the system OF
clipping as iC Is now executed under the
directions OF these authorities ls forcibly
shown by tho statistics kept OF the work
done In Idaho the past season.
Four Million Dipped
In Idaho last year. Immediately follow
Ing the spring shcaring, 4Ol7.G15 sheep
were dipped, and in 3l9 OF the focks
treated the disease was found TO exist
and 63l.90I sheep were found TO be afflict-
ed. In September the State was gone
over again. when 2.2SSsS sheep were
dipped. Scab then existed IN only "a
bands. and I'm them only 59,O3G individuals
were diseased.
Conditions in Utah.
The conditions II Is stated are better
In Utah now than in Idaho last year, and
by working together the officials hope TO
practically eradicate the disease from
Utah flocks
1t will be noticed that the number OF
diseased focks in Idaho last year were
reduced almost 30 per cent and that the
diseased individual sheep were reduced
more than 80 ncr cent.
