THE VALUE OF GUTHRIE
To LOGAN COUNTY.

Much is said OF the value of the
surrounding country TO a city. and
fn1thfully said The ordinary city de-
.pends very largely upon the surround
ing oountry. The remarkable growth
OF Gnthrie has rested very largely up
on the fertility OF the farms OF the
comfy and the industry and enter
prise Of the farmers. This proposition
Is recognized by all.
There Is also another view OF the
relation Of city to country and that is
the yalce OF Guthrie TO Logan county.
This feature is sometimes underesti-
mated OF course the real benefits can
not be measured in figures. but some
fif1res may indicate.
There are Ia Logan county about
20h townships of land. or 73S sections
or 2.500 acres. II by reason o3 be
ing in the vicinity OF this city there
should be a general rise all over the
county Of $3.50 per acre. II would
mean that the county was benefited
thereby $l.ls1,250.
The nearer. however is the proximi
" to the city the greater Is this rise
in value. IN addition TO the $3.50

A glance at the situation from these
two standpoints ought to disclose the
large mutual interests of city and farm
and forever silence any superior
claims on the part OF either.
The farmer can enforce this mutual
interest by doing his trading at the
city. The city merchant can help by
giving the farmer a square deal, a
good price for farm produce and low
price cn goods.
The farmer can afford to cut ont the
mail order house and trade with the
man who trades with him.

ADJUSTMENTS.
EIorence Roberte pleased.


a large and appreciatiye audience
that quite filled the Brooks greeted
Miss Florence Roberts last night in
the gifted stars newest dramatic Of
fering, THE Strength of the Weak"
The story told in the play is not for
children, but at the same time It is not
told in an inoffensiYe way. While IL
deals with a delicate moral problem,
il nowhere sinks to the low water
~ark of vHlgarity. This delicate
handling of an indelicate subject is
very largely due to the art of Miss
Roberts. The character of Pauline
Darcy, played by Miss Roberts in the
piece, reflects young girl who is
sStrieated from a slough into which
the unfaithfulness OF her guardian has
cast her, by writing book OF her life.
Subsequently she meets and falls In
love with the son of her betrayer, and
the struggle of the lovers to rise above
the conventionalities OF the world
fairly held the audience in breathless
awe. Miss Roberts support was all
that could be desired, the work of Mr..
ThIrlow Bergen as Richard Adams,
and Miss Ruth Allen. as ~Alice New
ton" the athletic girl, being especl-
ally commendable.
