"a Stubborn Cinderella. =

The greatest theatrical success ever
produced in Chicago will be seen at the
Myers theater, GAINESVILLE, Nov. II, when
"a Stubborn Cinderella" under the
management of the Princess Amusement
Co., will be presented. The piece was
pronounced in Chicago to be the most
artistic, the "class lest" and the most de-
lightful ever to be seen there, and three
of the eight newspapers in their reviews
the following day after it's presentation,
predicted that it would run for one solid
year. Delightful w.t. and four distinct
yet complete and enhancing love stories,
music which is catchy enough to almost
be called popular yet pretentious
enough to please the most fastidious
lover of high art, and wonderful con-
pany-of players have combined to make
"a Stubborn Cinderella" the latest
Adams, Hough and Howard musical
comedy the most marvellous hit ever re-
corded in Chicago. 1t has now been
playing there nearly six months and
still the r. o. sign is permanent fix
ture at every performance, and seats are
selling weeks and weeks ahead. "a
Stubborn Cinderella" with cast quite
as high salaried and capable as that seen
in Chicago will be seen in GAINESVILLE at
the Myers theater on Wednesday, Nov.
II. Prices, 80 cents to $3.50. Mail and
telephone orders now received.

RECENT experiments conducted by the
department of agriculture have demon
strated that the cornstalk is likely to
prove an excellent substitute for pulp
wood in the making of paper. The de-
partment made several grades of paper
and all of them proved exceedingly sat
isfactory both as to durability and text
ure. The total cost was S14 ton. Pulp
wood paper costs today $13 ton to pro-
duce, and this is after years of expert
menting 10 determine the best and
cheapest processes of manufacture. 1t
is safe to say that when cornstalk paper
gets past the experimental stage it will
be much cheaper than paper made from
pulp wood The great advantage Of the
paper made from the cornstalk is that
the supply of stalks is practically unlim-
tied. Any kind of cornstalk may be
used. Cornstalks car be grown in al
most any quantity tina the market re-
quires. They can be sed close to the
place of manufacture, ,hus eliminating
a large share of the transportation cost.
And, best of all, the trust which at
tempts to corner the available supply
will find itself in competition with the
entire body of American farmers.

Dane County System COnsolieates With
the Bell Telephone Company.

Another step toward the unifcation of
all the telephone companies in southern
Wisconsin has been taken by the con-
solidation of the Dane County Tele-
phone company, one of the oldest and
strongest in the state, with the Wiscon-
sin Telephone company. Some time ago
similar step was taken in Beloit and
Kenosha, and several northern cities
also have seen the universal telephone
system established. The confusion Incl
dent to two companies, the lack of long
distance communication for subscribers
to the independent companies has been
the chief cause in each case of the con-
solidation of the companies. The Dane
County company was formed about
twelve years ago when the Bell patents
ran out, and has done its best for the
people of Madison for several years but
has not been able to reach the standard
set by the older. more powerful COM
pany. With the passage by the last leg
islature of the public utilities bill, by
which the railroad commission is given
authority to regulate telephone service
as we'll as the service OF other companies,
the need of independent companies to
restrain monopoly and force adequate
service is removed.
The Dane county system will add
about 1900 subscribers to the present
list of the Wisconsin Telephone com
pany in that city and vicinity. The
plants will be consolidated as soon as
possible, and duplicate telephones re-
moved. The consolidation will give sub
scribers much larger list at one rate,
and without the confusion, incident to
two systems.
