THEATRICAL
GRAND OPERA HOUSE

Joseph Santley. opened a three days
engagement at the Opera House last
night in his new play. Lucky Jim"
Santley has large following among
the lovers of melodrama and he streng-
thened himself by the good showing
made last night. Lucky Jim" is a
blend of the two prevalent types Of
melodrama-the thuggery and UNDER
handed villany of the city and the open
handed gun play of the west. The
play abounds with sensationalism Of
all kinds, yet follows a line Of reason
that makes it's stirring scenes natu-
raj. Santley in the character of James
Randall appeared TO good advantage as
the young college graduate, the ten
derfoot, the youthful prospector and
lastly as the society man. The sup
porting company is all that could be
asked and the scenic equipment of the
play splendidly done. The engagement
continues today and tomorrow, with
matinees each afternoon. and those
who like melodrama might do we'll 20
take a look at this young actor and
his latest play.

FARMERS ARE
CUTTING CORN
The Crop is Unusually Good
Throughout the Country
This Year

New Castle county farmers are be-
ginning to harvest one of their great
staples, the corn crop, which this year,
despite the many reports of a failure
on account of the dry weather, prom
ises to be one of the best with which
they have been blessed in a long time.
The stalks are yet a little green, but
the farmers are not waiting, for in
nearly every field there can be seen
few shocks cut in some part of It.
Corn is king in this county While
the soil is noted for the large crops
Of wheat and oats and other staples
that It produces, it is the corn crop that
makes the farmers heart gladdest. for
1t is usually the best. AS he walks
along his corn field during the heated
days of August, peculiar odor reaches
his nostrils. which he alone knows how
much II means to him. This odor tells
him palmer than words could that his
crop is to be good one for it smells
right"
For some reason the corn is ripenine
earlier this year and the farmer who
has contemplated cutting off his corn
and planting wheat in the same ground
will have plenty of time in which Ia
do the work However. the ripenine
is not premature. for the big ears hang
ing on the stocks tell the story of full
growth and a good crop.
From present prospects ii looks as II
the farmers viii have an easy time
getting all their corn cut before a
Heavy frost comes and doubles the la
boriousness of the work. The corr
talks cut very easily now. and they
tand up straight. so that the work OF
Aarvesting the crop is play compared
later when the frost makes the
talks tough and a storm blows them
down to the ground.
As usual there was some very late
corn planted last Spring. but this has
grown better than usual and looks just
as good as that planted earlier. All
/ that the county's crop needs now IS
an army of men to get into the fields
armed with knives and put the stalks
/ into shocks.
