ceUnder southern Skies.''

Fhe announcement is made that Tn
r Southern Skies is to re-appear at
Grand Saturday matinee and
Eht. Under Southern Skies has be
6ine a standard attraction and those
who attend the performance are GER
tain of getting their moneys worth.
This is the eighth season of this de-
lightfuI drama which has been played
before many crowded and fashionable
houses since it appeared here last sea-
son. It's popularity seems to grow
greater with each succeeding visit as
it is one of those plays which people
like better every time they see it. The
management of Under Southern
Skies has provided the play with an
entirely new and very beautiful scenic
equipment for this season and new
costumes will be worn. The Halloween
celebration and pumpkin dance which
are such enjoyable features of the per-
Torrance will be as entertaining as
before and will be in a measure new
even to those who have already seen
them as new songs and dance figures
will be used.

To Preserve the Buffalo.

1t is possible, If success attends the

which the government has set aside
for the society's use may also be used
to preserve the elk, the antelope and
chance the American people fail to
respond to the society's appeal for
funds the whole plan for the preSer
vation Of bison, and with it the plan
for the saving of the other game ami
mails, may fail.
The range that has been set aside
for a buffalo preserve, is an ideal
country on the west side of the noun
tains in Montana. The Flathead In
dians, a few of whom had taken up
holdings on the preserve, readily
agreed to move and to sell their land
when they heard of the use to which
it was to be put. 1t is said that there
was rejoicing among the Indians when
they learned that an effort was to be
made to save the buffalo from eXtinc
ton. The sentiment among Amerl-
cans of white skins ought to be that
Of their red-skinned brothers.
The government has given the land
and the money to fence it, and has
left the rest to the people. In order
to buy a sufficient number of animals

son $4,000 is necessary. OF this
amount $1,000 has already been

ADVICE TO THE GROWERS.
President Taylor of the Ginners' As
sociation Talks Sense,


sociation Talks Sense.
President ]. A. Taylor of the Ma
tional Ginners' association, has just
issued the following letter to the
cotton growers:
"a year ago 1 strongly urged you
to reduce the acreage in cotton and
grow. more feedstuffs. 1t seems from
the acreage report last year that only
a part of the growers reduced their
acreage, and in some sections a small
increase was shown. The result has
been about as I predicted, the lowest
prices we have had for several years.
It now looks as If the crop will bring
around s550,000,000, or over $780,
10000 less than last years crop,
which was nearly 100000 bales
smaller; and taking the cost Of grow
ing the extra 100000 bales, it means
loss to the south Of over a hundred
million dollars.
1.-The time has arrived when you
must decide on the acreage Of this
season. I strongly urge you to reduce
your acreage in cotton at least 10 per
cent, and raise more grain and hay
so you will be more independent at
marketing time When the spinner
is assured there is enough cotton
grown to supply his needs, he is very
cheap prices. With a possibility Of
shortage, he is very eager buyer.
"While the consumption for the
first half Of the cotton year ending
March 1st will likely be a little less
than half the crop, the consumption
the last half will be very much larg-
er, so that we will likely have about
the same visible supply that we had
last season, so that we should raise
next season at least a million bales
less than the consumption in order to
get good prices for it.
Now, don't think that every one
else will reduce and you can plant
more and get a big price, for that is
what too many Of you did last sea-
son. 1t will take a uniform reduc-
ton in order to get the proper re-
suits. You should only plant enough
so that with the most favorable con-
ditions the crop would not exceed
l2,500, 900, and then If weather con-
ditions reduce the yield to 100000
you will get more money for it than
IL you raised 12,500,000.
81 hope that every merchant read
ing this article will call his farmer
customers attention to 1t and urge
reduction. 1t is the extra hundred
million dollars the cotton crop brings
that makes trade good through the
south. I suggest that meetings be
held in every school house in the
south Saturday, March 7th, so that
uniformity of action may be taken"

So BACK HE CAME-An official OF
the superior court Of Cook county, IL
linois, which has jurisdiction in the
matter Of the naturalization Of for
eigners, tells the following, according
to an exchange:
I'm October last a man named Au-
gust Hulzberger took out his first
papers AS he was about to leave
the court room he was observed to
scan very closely the official envelope
in which had been enclosed the docu-
ment that was to assist in his natu-
ralization.
"In a few days August again turn
ed up. Presenting himself to the
clerk Of the court, he bestowed upon
that dignitary a broad Teutonic smile,
saying:
"'Vell, here I was.
"'Pleased to see you, I'm sure,
said the clerk with polite sarcasm.
Would you mind adding who you are
and why you are here?
August seemed surprised. He ex-
hibited his official envelope. 1T says,
"Redurn in five days." he explained
''und here I vas!'"

How SHE FOUND IT.-George AIDE
at a dinner in London, said Of luck:
Nobody is so dependent on luck as
the playwright. When he prospers he
considers luck a kindly goddess. but
when his work fails. then luck seems
to him a spirit perversely cruel and
mean.
He regards luck then as Tom
Jacksons wife, Of Lafayette, does.
Tom Jackson said one morning at
breakfast:
Hang 1t all! While I was weed
ing I dropped my Imperial Order OF
BOOSTERS pin on the lawn, and I've
been looking for it now over half an
hour. It's gone for good, I suppose.
THAT night when Jackson sat down
to dinner there was his pin beside his
plate.
BULLY for you!' said he. Where
did you find 1t, Martha?'
"I let Tommy go barefooted this
afternoon said Mrs. Jackson quiet
y.'"-Exchange.

Kentueky's Natural Wonders.

The pseudo-scientist found himself
seated at dinner with stone pillar
on one side Of him and a red-faced
commercial traveller on the other. Find

Over to the police. Collins refused
absolutely to give any details of his
life, and it was supposed that he had
a past which he desired to conceal.
Thinking that he might be an es-'
capped convict. the officers decided
that he ought to be held for time
until it could be ascertained if this
supposition was correct. The states
attorneys Office waited patiently for
some such news to come, and finally
decided that there was no real
grounds on which TO prosecute the
man. and accordingly bond was Sc
cured for him and he was advised to

The fellow has experienced some
trouble at the police station, how
ever, as Mayor McCaskrin, who is
serving as chief of police. refused to
give him the possessions which were
taken from him by the police when
le was arrested. Some money and
other valuables are among the things
which the police are holding and
Collins says he wants them, burt as
yet he has not been given them. The
acting chief says he intends to keep

McvAY'S REMAINS
On Return Trip They Are First to

A trip of the Helen Blair 10 Burlng-

probably the most grewsome that the
boat ever made. As stated the passen-
gers witnessed the recovery of two
bodies from the river on the way south
and then in the vicinity of Montpelier
Charles McVay. a passenger. fell from
the boat and was drownedp Yesterday
one the way up it was necessary to
stop the engines TO prevent striking
the body of McVay which had raised 10
the surface during the night and was
floating near FairpOrt when found
The officers of the boat. who were the
first to see it, notified George Feustal
and Andrew and William Reeves OF
Fairport. who towed the body to Mus
catine. Relatives were expected there
to claim it today. From the time a
he drowning till the remains were
found almost constant efforts were
| made to recover them by the Musca
tine Maccabees, of which the dead mar
was member. About 20 pounds of DIV
Mantle was exploded in the vicinity o
| the drowning.
