A Crown of Thorns which comes to
the Odeon next Sunday evening, De-
cember %, is truly a story Of the heart
and as pure as unalloyed gold 1t APP
peals to the more intelligent class of
theater-goers and lovers of refined
high-grade comedy drama rather than
those attracted by vulgar and often
sive titles and immorally sug-
gestive pictures of lurid sensational
ism. Its plot, tho intricate is never
theless coherent. Its situations are at
the same time thrilling and natural.
Its climaxes are surprising but not ex-
aggerated. Its characters are original
but not overdrawn. Its comedy Is re-
freshing and wholesome and it's heart
interest is pure, sweet and intensely
human. "a Crown of Thorns" will be
interpreted by an unusually powerful
and uniform company, staged with
elaborate scenic and mechanical eff
fects and the action of the play Will be
punctuated with new and o-date
vaudeville interpretations. Prices 10,
rs, IS and so cents.

RECLAIM THE AlKAll LANDS
Agricultural Report Tells of Success
of Experiments to Redeem Soil
of the West.

According to the latest report
of the secretary of agriculture the
government has been especially
successful in its experiments in
the reclamation of alkali lands BY
undertakings and surface Hood
ing. The work was undertaken as
an object lesson to farmers in
those irrigated districts of the
west where considerable trouble
has been experienced with the rise
of alkali and consequent deprecia-
ton in the value of the land. On
one tract near Salt Lake City,
within one year, 80 per cent. of the
total quantity of soluble salts
was removed to depth of four
feet by the flooding process, and
the land seeded 10 oats, barley and
wheat. Other experiments in
California. Washington, Arizona
and Montana have proved equally
successful. and the farmers are
taking great interest in the work.
The experiments have demOnstra.
ed that within three years, at the
most, practically worthless land.
so heavily charged with injurious
salts as TO be unfit for any form of
agriculture, may be reclaimed TO

ces be economical lily undertaken by

1t is the cleanest. most refined and

is an absence of grating or grafters
that is noticeable. The gentlemen
in charge do not carry that old time
circus swag about them.
If the Van Amburg Circus ever

THE State Board of Equalization
has raised the assessed valuation of
farm lands in Ohio county 20 per
cent. That is, the man who own a
farm valued at 81, 200, will have to
pay taxes on $1,000. This is pretty
hard on the tax payer, but the gang
must have money to pay extra Off
GERS and additional salaries, to say
nothing of the pension of Judge
Cantrell. 1t does seem hard to tax
US to the limit, and deny us repre-
sentation. We remember to have
