A PRETTY BIRTHDAY
PARTY

II was a jolly crowd indeed that
gathered at the Irving Hotel dining
room last night to celebrate the
birthday anniversary OF Miss Leota
Howard, one OF the popular members
OF the Georgia Harper Company,
who are playing stock engagement
1t the Astoria theatre.
The happy affair was attended by
the complete company in body, and
they were agreeably surprised at the
Beautiful sight that greeted them up
en- entering the dining room, which
was decorated in an elaborate man
ner, for the occasion, in a profusion
of pink decorations, besides many
fowers and ferns of various descrip-
ticns, which added greatly to the
beauty OF the pleasant surroundings,
Miss Howard received many tokens
of friendship which bespeaks best
the kindly feeling among the COM
pany. Among the presents was a
locket and chain, a beautiful pearl
ring, silver toilet set, and many
other gifts, that were all graciously
received by the happy hostess.
Mr.. Berrell acted as POSTMASTER
for the occasion, and several among
the gathering responded in short ad-
dresses wishing Miss Howard many
happy returns Of the day, and other
appropriate short talks. A splendid
fepast was served, after which the
company entertained among them
selves by songs and recitations, and
by the Harper quartet who rem
dered pleasing selections.
Those who were present at the
pleasant function were: Miss Leota
Howard, Mr.. and Mrs. Georgia Har-
per, Mr.. and Mrs. Berrell, Mr.. and
Mrs. Melvin Mayo, Mr. and Mrs. Bly,
den, Miss Evelyn Green, Miss Fran
ces Williamson, Mr.. Glen Harper,
Mr.. Joseph Detrick, Mr.. Paul Mac
Reynolds, Mr. Jack Mcdonald, and
Hr. Volney Ballinger.
When the night was growing into
the small hours of the morning the
delightful company all joined in the
sweet song of "Auld Lang Syne,"
after which the party disbanded all |
agreeing that the affair was a COM
plete success.

Very truly, J. S. JONES, State Che
mist"
In appearance, the standing wheai
is strong and vigorous, with corr
like growth. Its head in the bearing
part is about four inches long to over
that, and an inch and a half broad al
its broadest prt The kernel is about
four times the size Of hard wheat and
a clear light cream color without a
dark spot, as clean as hulled peanuts
in color 1t is almost absolutely
frost protected and ii would be a
hard frost that would touch it. Its
sturdiness makes it impervious to or
dinary storm or light hail. 1t is or
| iginally grown on high dry unirriga-
ted land, and will stand drought as
no known wheat will. Add all these
qualities to its enormous yielding pro-
pensitics, and it must be admitted
that the world has been turned topsy
turyey so far as wheat raising is con-
cerned.
California, where so much soft
wheat is grown, is beginning to take
UP the Alaska Wheat, for they see
the opportunity of hard wheat yield.
Farmers in Missouri and the east,
and in the south, where soft wheat is
all that can be raised, with success.
are beginning to think Of what is in
store for them when some neighbor
convinces them by making a first trial,
that the wonderful Alaska Wheat sto-
ry is not as much a fabrication as the
first story Of seedless oranges was
thought to be. The wheat world is
trembling on the verge Of new era,
one in which the men with a hundred
acres, SUDDENLY finds his farm increas-
ed in area to thousand acres, by the
discovery Of one old farmer away out
in Idaho.
As a last test, Mr.. Adams has sent
single heads Of wheat to other parts
of the country where he had men he
could trust to plant and ascertain the
result. Reports are just coming to
him, and he finds that in other states
his Alaska Wheat does better than on
its home soil In Alabama, head
was planted Dec 81, and was up Jan
80, waist high April !, with leaves 7-8
Of an inch broad, and July 7 was har
vested. 1t showed to be hard wheat
Of fine quality, and the one head
