HEAVY WITH PROMISE.

At the Orpheum this week bill
heavy with promise and rich in pos
sibilities is to be offered if the Press
agents story is to be relied upon. Al
the programs head comes Carl and
Sapphire Baggesen in an original
comedy Juggling act. One critic
speaks thus of the Baggesen's act:
"They may be jugglers, but they re-
frain from juggling; they just act;
the juggler we have with us always,
but real actors are rare birds, hence
this pean to the Baggesens." They
can act standing still, without NOV
ing a muscle of their own; they set
all yours shaking with laughter and
the best authorities will tell you that
to communicate mirth or melancholy
without the aid of motion or speech
is the best and greatest manifestation
of the actors art.

Kansas Boys and Girls Contests for 1907

The following, taken from The

cultural college, is called to the at
tentlon OF the BOYS and girls of Bar
Ton County. This is something We
trust they will take an active interest
in.
"Ihe success of the Kansas BOYS
corn Growing Contest in 1906, with
nearly five thousand boys enlisted
Jdstlfles the Kansas State Agricultural!
college, through its farmers Institute
Department, in planning for greater
things thlsyear. Last year we hoped
10 nave the contest taken up in sixty
counties, .and fortyseven counties
responded This year, with a variety
OF contests, we must make a clean
sweep, with one hundred aud five
counties represented. When the bows
and g'rIs ARE so responsive every.
where we must not have delinquent
county. The contests are so varied
that no county should ask to be ex.
cused'a alt is all for the boys and girls
OF KansaS-our boys and girls, the
future. citizens of our state. And these
contests are mot merely to increase
our crop, production; they are to
increase. respect. for the great base
OF supplies-the soil; they are to mag.
nifty the idea that those who make
plants,grow and produce are the only
original producers; that those who i'm.
prove the yield or the beauty of a
plant are, benefactors to mankind.
Therefore we desire to broaden our
lines this year and take into the contest
not only the boys of the Kansas farms
but the girls also: and mol only the
boys and girls Of the farms, but the
thousands Of boys and girls of our
villages, towns, and. .cities. We hope
to enlistsin this great soilworking
campaign at least twenty thousand
Kansas boys and girls, and back Of
them, and working for them, farmers
institutes '..women's clubs school off
GERS superintendent, principals, and
teachers, and thousands of other
public.spirited citizens"
All persons who desire to enter this
contest, should report to the secre.
tary A. F. Fankhauser, of the Barton
County Farmers Institute, for seed,
and they will be furnished with a
