his home on the Jackson Pratt farm in

Under Southern Skies"
People go to the theatre to be enter
tanned. Gloomy plays, except in rare in
stances, are not favorably received. Au-
diences, especially women, like to have
their feelings wrought upon to a certain
extent; they even enjoy an opportunity to
shed few tears; but they also like to
have the tears followed by laughter and
they want the sun to come out between
the clouds.
Since ss East I.ynae, there has probab-
ly not been play produced which draws
women to witness IL in such crowds as
does Lottie Blair Parker's drama of love
among the blossoms "Under Southern
Skies" There is something about the
beautiful stage settings. youthful, sum-
merry DIRE ses, crowds OF gay young folks,
Halloween tricks, jack-o-lantern dance
and touching love scenes that enchant the
young, who are in the hey-dsy OF their
own,pleasures, and fascinste their elders
by carrying them back to their own
merry days-sometimes forgotten until
suddenly brought to vivid remembrance
by the life-iike scenes of "Under South
ern Skies"
All women love the play and the men
enjoy it, so it is not strange that il is
now in its seventh season, playing to
larger audiences than ever before, the
capacity OF the theater being tested IN
every city fortunate enough to secure this
remarkably successful drama.
'sUnder Southern Skies" is TO appear in
Chandler Music hall on Thursday even
ing, Jan. 30, and the indications are that
it will be witnessed by large and appre-
ciative audience.
White Cross Co. in Rutland.
A despatch from Rutland to the dailies
under date of Jan. 10 says that new
proposition has been made the farmers of
that vicinity regarding milk factory like
the one now being built in this village
and states the matter as foIlows:-
ssThe Consumers Pure Milk q Dairy
company OF Massachusetts,, which is
building factory at Randolph for the
purpose of delivering absolutely pure
milk in Boston much below the cost of
the commodity there now, is very anx-
ious to build another factory in Vermont,
Rutland being the most favored site.
.sSome months ago its representatives
held conference with Rutland county
farmers, exhibiting their concentrated
milk. Their proposition to locate here
was favorably received but at that time
they wished to sell some of their stock to
the farmers. and as the dairymen did not
fall in with this idea, the proposition did
not come to head.
'The company has sold its rights to a
Boston syndicate and now the new own
ers wish to locate in Rutland, saying
that there will be no stock for sale. They
are asking for deal similar to the one
they get in Randolph, the present of
site and exemption from taxation for five
years, the concern to put up its own
buildings. They claim that other towns
besides Randolph have offered them these
terms.
"The citizens of Rutland have not yet
talked the matter over, but the farmers
in general favor the idea because il looks
like higher prices for milk"
1t is the Boston White Cross Milk COM
pany to which the Consumers company
has sold its right in New England, and
the former concern intend to establish
plants at various points to handle the
business of the section. The building in
this place is up and covered and is evil

tractive appearance as well as answer the
demands of service.
