PETER PAN MATINEE ON MONDAY
Mrs. Beccher Will Give a Reading at
MankatO Theatre on Monday.

Those who desire to secure their reg
ular lecture course seats for the Peter
Pan matinee by Mrs. Bccher next
tomorrow an opportunity will he given
the students of the schools i'm this
city to get seats for this attraction
at half price and this will probably
mean that most or all will be taken.
There is no question as to Mrs Beecher
being the premier lady reader and
interpreter in this country and it would
be almost impossible to conceive of
any other person being able to present
this inimitable story of Barrie's. Many
have asked how young child could
comprehend this story. 1t would be
safe to answer that any child six
wear or older could easily take in
the whole story at its first hearing.
Mankato is fortunate in being able
to hear Mrs. Beecher again as she is
annually limiting the time she gives
to lyceum work From mercenary
point il is wholly unnecessary for
Mrs. Beecher to 90 OH tour at all. as
Mr. Bcecher is one of the leading
men in the steel and iron industry,
being located in Alabama with the
Alabama Iron and Coal company,
where they possess II beautiful home
Mrs. Beecher being Il woman who is
in love with her art of reading finds
her best expression of life in that
work and SO she devotes only few
weeks each year to satisfy that desire
Mrs. Beecher has always appeared be-
fore the best audiences and literary
clubs and societies. Her work and
selections are of the highest and she
never fails to please and bring her
auditors to love her and her work.
A suggestion is offered by Secre-
tary Gran that it light be possible
that there are parents who would like
to give a box party for their chill
dren at this matinee. Arrangements
can be made by applying to Secretary
Gran for. the boxes.

BEAUTIFUL SAMPLES OF WHEAT.
Blue Stem Just Received By the Hub
bard Milling Company.

One of the most beautiful samples
of wheat is the l69 Blue Stem seed
wheat just received by the Hubbard
Milling company from Armenia, n D.,
1t weighs sixty.one pounds to the
bushel, large plump kernel, very
clean and looks like ideal seed wheat.
1t was grown by company operating
a 10000 acre farm and which makes
Ia speciality of growing seed grain.
No. 1863 was originated at the Mir
nesota Experimental station and usu-
lally yields from three to five bushels
Iper acre more than ordinary wheat.
Most of the farmers securing this
lchoice seed intend to SOW it OH their
best ground with a view of raising
wheat for seed. A little care in hand
lpicking the fields for weeds will in
sure clean seed for another year.
| With proper farming, rotation of
crops and selection of seed, there is nc
doubt of wheat being a paying crop
/ in this vicinity at anything like
present prices. One dollar to $l.l0 pei
bnshel sounds good to farmers and
the wheat crop this spring bids fair to
be largely increased in southern Min.
nesota. st
1t speaks well for the enterprise of
our farmers that the local demand fol
this seed wheat at % cents per b,isllel
over ordinary wheat largely exceeded
the amount the Milling company could
obtain and many orders were turtied
laway az only one small car could lie
obtained,

Roosevelt's fellow citizens said that the

precedent and leave the country. 1t
may be a shock to the complaining
ones to learn that i'm all likelihood
President Taft not only will follow the
Roosevelt example, but will 80 it more

he will visit the zone at least. once
