FINE SHOW At TOWLEs
Mable harrison and Joe
Howard Make a Hit With
Flower of the Ranch"

Should there have been doubt in
the minds of some of the theatre-goers
that Mabel Barrison and Jos. Howard
would be less attractive after a year
of their romance wedding in Hammond.
that delusion was quickly taken away
last night when the two stars appeared
at Towle Opera house.
AS usual Mabel Barrison appeared in
q child-like role in the play of The
Flower of the Ranch" and it seems
that her husband had just her in mind
when he wrote her part of the play.
At every minute during her perform
ance she was the pet of the audience
dividing honors however with Joseph
Howard. The play throughout was a
case of actors suiting the play and the
play the actors. Few companies have
been so enthusiastically and cordially
received in Hammond as was JOS
Howard and his company.
The cowpunchers with their droll
western ways We're different from the
usual western stage COW boys, and they
were really funny.
The chorus girls entered into their
part especially with the performing
horses with a spirit causing the spec
tators to roar with laughter.
The Flower of the Ranch was we'll
staged, well played and well managed.
The company may be sure Of a welcome
or a return trip.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling Of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore IT
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores Of new rats to the
house Instead Of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
