Why is it that one man finds if possible to maintain and in some cases even increase the fertility and cleanliness and appearance of his farm, while his neighbor with the same soil (naturally), the same sunshine and the same natural advantages, permits his land to run down and become seeded with noxious weeds? It must be in the man and his meth eds of management; in the learning and knowing how to do a thing and in doing it just right. Few men do as well as they know how.

Every woman who goes into politics
ma l<es herself ridiculous"
William Desmond said it yesterday
at the Burbank theater, at the instiga-

audience voted aye with a round of
applause. AT least the male portion
of the audience did and the other half
well, the other half swallowed her
enthusiasm
sees it, Is hardly popular with the pa -
irons of the Burbank and when one of
the caricatures OF the Denver woman
in politics, appeared In pants there
We're some audible misses from the di-
rection Of the gallery.
"a Contented Woman" is the play
and the story tells of the trials and
triumphs Of young and pretty girl
who runs against her husband, also
young, for the office of mayor of Dem
Yer.
There is a sextet of characters who
control affairs In the opposing fac
tions and they furnish much Of the
fun.
Aunt Jim, a mannish woman, is the
boss Of the woman's faction and her
''strong minded friends, Miss Helena
Wrangle and Mrs. Watson Chinn, are
the other members of the trio.
To Mrs. Holme, one candidate for
mayor. they contribute their support,
make her room their headquarters, and
drink cocktails from her husband S
buffet A similar trio composed of a
gambling house keeper, a saloon keeper
and prizefighter perform similar
duties for Mr.. Holme in. his candidacy
for mayor.
The caricatures, for of course, that is
what they are, are treated as such by
the Burbank company and the result is
1udicrous. A large part of the audience
yesterday took the satire seriously and
hence it would have been hard to get
n vote in favor of womans suffrage at
the close of the performance.
Miss Blanche Hall was the pretty
little wife yearning to be called your
honor" and William Desmond was the
opposing candidate for the same
privilege.
Nina Gleason, Brenda Fowler and
Carol Marshall were the bosses on
one side and Harry Glazier, Willis
Marks and Robert Homans controlled
the other party.
A feature that met with the plaudits
