"The Rollickers," put on by a com
pany of local performers at the Audi
forum Rink last night under the
auspices of the Roswell lodge of Elks,

tory of local theatricals. AS a sbCy,
the affair was a comriLe success, the
performaceed e1ighting the big aud
fence practically from start to finish.
While the attendance was not nearly
SO large as it wou have been with
out counter attractions, it was suffi-
cient IL cover the heavy expense
with money to spare. The Elks will
probably realize over a hundred dol
lars for their building fund from the
entertainment and advertising pro-
gram that was gotten up incidental
to the occasion. The success of the
program is due almost entirely to
Mrs. Florence E. Kilgour, who plan
ned it from start to finish and drilled
all the performers and cnoruses.
The plan of the show was a summer
garden in New York. at which the
various classes of people called for
refreshment, all of whom contributed
a part which made UP an entertain
ment of an hour and a half in dura
ton. Count Martini was head waiter
in the garden, and his every owe

Homestead Lands.

Let us hope that settlement Of the
unoccupied lands will be encouraged
by the government in sensible ways.
The idea prevailing in early days Of
the republic, that the public domain
should be used as a revenue producer,
abandoned in favor Of the better meth
cd Of using the same for settlement,
should not be revived. The West
should be settled up. The quicker the
public domain passes into private
ownership. the better It win be for us.
Dry farming homesteads should be
enlarged to at least 500 or $40 acres.
A larger homestead should be given
for dry farming and a smaller one to
the irrigated districts. Loyal and
earnest cooperation is needed be-
tween the National Reclamation ser
vice and the state governments, that
are trying to reclaim lands under the
Carey Act, and no conflicts should oc-
cur or jealousles exist. Title for gov
eminent land under government irri-
cation projects should Be granted
more quickly than they are at present,
and. II necessary, our national laws
should be changed 50 ss'to bring this
about. Title should follow more a.
result Of cultivation and use than Of
length Of time necessary for the set
tier to live upon the government lands.
