young people were present and en-

of different kinds. AT twelve o'clock
a delicious supper was served by the

AN ENTERTAINMENT
Blossom & Blossom Will Appear At
The Extra Opera House Saturday
Eve, December ID. 1907

1t is very seldom that two people
have the ability to put on show that
will satisfy the public. There are,
however, exceptions to this rule and
Blossom & Blossom, who held forth
at the Opera House Wednesday and
Thursday nights proved they are one
of the exceptions. The team is COM
posed Nat Blossom. one of the old
time minstrel men of Beach and Bow,

Blossom is SO versatile that he does
stunts in straights, rube, Irish and ne
gro characters, that are really new
and meritorious, he is in fact whole
show within himself His wife is in
no way his inferior as an entertainer
and her work at the piano is grand,
rendering several opera selections
complete, intermingled with rag time.
She is also fine singer and works
good as companion to Nat. We

Nov. 80, 1907
Mr.. w. J. Lancelot,
Extra, Iowa,
Dear Editor Journal According
to the promises to many feel I cam
not be able to furnish the necessary
time to write to all. Therefore APP
ply to the Editor of the Audubon
County Journal, in his paper to take
up few words that as many as might
be interested in reading it. We are
located at Mountain View little town
forty miles south of San Francisco on
the Southern Pacific railroad. AS to
Our moving west we can say that this
is right good place for US and very
good country to live in, especially
those who have the necessary money
to buy the necessaries which are need
ed to uphold life. AS the weather is
fine and the country desirable with it's
roses and flowers blooming at every
mans gate and home, which is some
thing new for US Iowa folks at this
time of the year. We are both busy,
my wife is using all her strength in
keeping house, to keep the home in
order and think she is doing very
we'll. l do myself try to procure of
others that work which is want ed,
that can do for them. Thanking the
Lord heartily that am as we'll and a.
BILE as that. AT the same time it gives
me some chance to become acquainted
with the people on the land in which
we live and also the way of doing the
work of the land. AS we are we'll af-
ter getting here we certainly enjoy the
fine climate, California has to offer it's
visitors, especially in the winter time,
where Jack Frost does not harm nor
bother anyone. When we got here it
did not take US very long to find our
boy, Bert Jefferson and there he is, we
see him coming and the greet heavy
fat white horse that provides for him
as we'll as for itself. This place ia not
for us as Extra had been at that time
where everybody had nearly become
known to us and to meet a friend on
our way they always had q smiling
face and some encouraging salute, but
here it is different where it is strange
faces and slow work for old people to
get acquainted. AS think I better
close my writing for this that should
not make the mistake of saying more
of California than l know
Truly Yours,
T. Jefferson.

The Method of Producing Flowers
Out of Season.

[he Method of Producing Flowers
Out of Season.
Lilies of the valley and many other
plants are now placed on the markets
Of the worlds great cities months aft
sr they are out of season. This is ac-
compIished by plant retardation,"
holding back the development by
means of cold and darkness until what
ever time is desired. Then they are
once more subjected to light and
warmth. when they blossom. The
most prominent feature of a plant re-
tardation establishment is the huge
cold storage building in which the
plants are slowed away. Under the
care of the guide the visitor passes the
portals. In a moment he steps from
the warmth and light of a summers
day into the cold bitterness Of Win
ter's night, the darkness of which !
but feebly relieved by the ficber.n~
hand lanterns The interior of TIM
building is divided into variov' c.
bers. and each one Of these is y ,0tt2;i
to some particular kind of plant Cra
chamber is full of lily of the valic-
roots, the next is packed with boxe5
containing lilium bulbs, while again .
compartment is crammed with small
potted plants. of azalea and spiraea.
Each and all of these varieties are III
a dormant condition, sleeping away
their time entirely unconscious of the
changing seasons in the outside world.
The walls Of the chambers are thickly
coated with a deposit Of frost crystals
and millions of these flash like dia-
monds in response to the rays Of light
from the lamp. The degree of cold is
usually obtained by means of a COM
pressed air apparatus, and the freez-
ing current is led into the different
chambers through wooden channels.
In course Of time these passages get
choked with hoarfrost. and it becomes
necessary for a man to enter them and
clean the accumulation away. This is
a cold job. In places the temperature
is as low as 20 degrees below zero.
The costume of a workman engaged
in this clearing out operation is prac-
ticalIy an arctic outfit. Every part
of the body with the exception Of
small holes for eyes and mouth must
be protected with thick wool. Other
wise serious frostbites would ensue.
Retarded plants may be kept in
check for eight months or at times as
long as a year, and curiously enough
they do not seem to be any the worse
for the treatment. Indeed, the expert
ence seems to make them grow all the
faster when they are allowed to make
a start. Some varieties grow at ire
mendous rate when they are brought
into heat-Chicago News.

Voting In Paris.

"In Paris only one-fifth of the voters
go to the polls and cast their ballots"
said an American who has lived in
Paris as a business man for several
years past "This is not because they
cannot vote, but because they do not
care to. Everybody in the city is in
terested in politics, but when the time
to vote comes few care to go to the
polls. The man who wins is most
often the man who promises every
thing. For instance, in my district
last time a man was elected who
promised to put new shed on the
market / know of another deputy
who was kept in office fifteen years be-
cause he promised to add an extra sar-
dine to the daily rations of the SOL
diers. There are so many soldiers that
that made big difference. They did
not get the sardine, but he continued
to promise and kept office" -Washing

WHISTLER AS A TEACHER.
A Genius Who Showed Difficulty In
Imparting His knowledge.

A Genius Who Showed Difficulty In
Imparting His knowledge.
Whistler was certainly a genius, but
he showed some difficulty in imparting
his knowledge. His criticisms were of
ten foggy and uncertain, and he hard
ly ever found words in which to eX
press himself. 1t was almost an i'm
possibility to develop without becom-
ing a slave and copying him in every
way. With a majority of the students
this was a dangerous method. If one
came with a spark of originality it was
extinguished Immediately by the dom
mating personality of the master. He
could see art only from his own stand
point, and he insisted on all of us using
the same palette and the same brushes
as himself and on our seeing all OBJ
jects with his eyes. The result to an
ordinary outsider was ridiculously mo-
notOnOus.
/ we'll remember a Frenchman who
wanted TO join the class coming to
view some of the studies and then re-
marking, with an amused smile, ''VOus
avez beaucoup DIES petus Wheestlairs"
This was perfectly true of the major
ity, but there were few matured men
who hardly carried out Whistler's
formulas as regards the palette and
method, but who, owing to their more
independent attitude, profited much by
the notwithstanding.
