IRA.

IRA.
"zira" is the play in which Mabel
Montgomery the young emotional
actress is to be seen at the Auditor
ium tomorrow night. The role OF
Hester Trent" enacted by Miss
Montgomery deals with the full price
the young woman has to pay to the
world for sin. In this case Hester
Trent was more sinned against thcn
SHINING, but nevertheless as Is
brought out clearly in the play with
a masterful hand, by the authors,
Messrs. Henry Miller and J. Hartley
Manners, the worlds point of view
is not always wise or just.
Robbed of her standing through a
false marriage, into which she was
tricked by a scoundrel already mar
ried, Hester Trent, though mere
slip of girl is forced to take her
place among the workers of the
world, and endeavor to remove the
stigma that is attached to her for
the error into which she fell.
In this virile and powerful play

The Farm Bow,

Dean Henry of the Wisconsin Aeri-
to farmer boys. He says: 1.-THE far
mar boy has the best chance in life and
needs no sympathy. He does the things
of the world, fills every position that is
open. He does the hard work eyery-
where. Not the drudgery, but the hard.
difficult things that call for pluck, a
sound body and fertile BRAIN" And
this is true. 1t is one Of the most hone
ful signs of the times that farmer bows
are beginning to recognize and take adj
vantage Of their privileges. A young
man does not have to leave the farm
in order to find scope for the very high
est Intelligence. He does not have to
enter some profession in order to get
on in life or attain a place and position
for himself. He may get on in the best
sense of the world right on the old
farm, and he may attain place and
position second to none other in COM
fort and honor and advancement. Right
on the old farm he may do things that
require well trained mind and
fertile brain as well as Drawn and
muscle. The intelligent, scientific far
mer has come to the farm to stay, ar3
the successful farmer of today needs
just as much executive ability as does
the President of these United States
only of course, it must be along anoth-
er line. There is plenty of hard work
on the farm, but there is plenty of hard
work in everything that spells success,
and, as Professor Henry says. THE
farmer boys has the best chance and
needs no sympathy"

When Planting Seeds.

In the home garden care should be
taken 70 see that The soil is pressed
down firmly after the seeds are in The
result will be to bring the moisture to
the surface and hasten the termination
of the seeds. AS soon as the seedlings
appear, however, the garden should be
gone ever with rake to loosen up the
surface and form a mulch. the purpose
being to prevent the moisture from
escaping. A smooth. hard surface will
be followed by loss of much moisture
which will be brought to the surface by
the capillary action. When the sur
face is constantly stirred and kept
loose ard free, this capillary action is
retarded and the moisture is retained
TO support the plants. This point is a
very important one, and amateur gar
deners VIII find it to their advantage to
bear these facts in mind.

greatest leaks for the poultry lyman.

1t picks out the hen that lays the
infertile egg, the brown, the white and
thte yellow egg.
1t picks out the hen that raised the
best chicks Not always the highest
scoring hen raises the winning chicks.
1t is the only practical way that the
breeder can pedigree his stock. Poul-
try will in time be pedigreed as in other
thoroughbred stock.
Trap nests may be placed in build
ing or yard away from the laying hens
(When used for setting hens), and they
can be removed once day for feed and
water When they return to the nest
they shut themselves in and the other
hens out to they cannot crowd in and
break the eggs.
The trap nest is a simple continuance
by which the door is set on a trigger
which is sprung by the hen when she
enters. The door closes and she cannot
leave the nest until removed by hand.
A numbered band on each hens leg
enables the owner TO tell exactly what
each nen is doing by writing her num-
Der on the eggs in the trap nest.
