"Thorns and Orange Blossoms"

Among the theatrical productions
this season is the comedy drama that
is making a pronounced hit for the
enterprising amusement firm of Row
land & Clifford. "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" is a very taking title and
it is a dramatization of Bertha M.
Clay's extensively read book Of the
same name. The story of the piece
is in part English. but much bright
ness is infused by the introduction of
American comedy that is consistently
and humorously put. AS a
scenic production nothing has been
omitted that would lend to it's attrac.
tiveness and the company Is of the
better sort in detail even the smallest
parts being in thoroughly competent
n experienced hands and Miss Lu.
cile Gardener heads the company.
"Thorns and Orange Blossoms" comes
to the Gennett. Tuesday night.

clear the distinction between these
grains the accompanying illustration
is given. The heads of emmer are
short, compact and fiat, the spikelets
being set very close together. The
heads Of spelt are long and open, the
spikelets being set quite far apart.
Spelt is generally Of coarser type than
emmer and the proportion of husk
present in the threshed grain Is usu-
ally larger.
In the matter of yield emmer is de-
cidedly superior. For five years en-
mer has given an average of 500
pounds of grain more than the highest
yielding variety Of spelt at the On
tario agricultural college. At the
Brandon experimental farm emmer
has also shown its superiority as a
yielder, though at Indian Head In
Saskatchewan in 1907, the two grains
were about equal, the emmer giving
2,020 pounds per acre. md the spelt
1900 pounds.

TO CLEAN UP WARRANTS.
Calls Of March and April Will Bring
in About All Outstanding Money.

The state treasurer has called $780,
600 of outstanding general fund war
rants for March 2S, which call was
made several days ago on the estimat-
ed revenues from the call from the
counties for the quarter ending March
l. The call will bring in a larger
amount than was estimated, and some
time early in April another call will
be made for approximately 5000, 900,
which pretty well will clean up the
outstanding warrants.
The issue of S25O,O0O of emergency
warrants which became due this
month has been taken up, and another
issue of a like amount has been made,
which were placed at 5 per cent, say
Ing the state 2 per cent, or $4,000, in
the next year in carrying the debt in
this shape instead of in general fund
warrants.
The auditors office reports receipts
OF $447,5O7 from forty-five out of fifty
three counties of the state from the
March call. While a large part of this
goes into the general fund, all the 9TH
er funds are represented. including the
