IN THE THEA1ERS
Gingerbread Man"

comic opera Of delightful quality
and unusual merit both In book lyrics
and score Is the "Ginscrbread Man"
which viii be given here tonight with
the original No. 1 company fresh from
a tour of the larger cities, where it
has enjoyed unusual success in this,
tho third year Of it's presentation The
reason for this Is obvious. The piece
is one of certain mcrit-tirst of all for
it's particularly beautiful music, which
by the way was composed by A. Bald
win Sloane who has given us such
tuneful compositions as "The Mocking
Bird" Jack and the Bean Stalk"
Sergeant Kitty" broadway to Tolio"
and "Coming Thro' the Rye" Mr..
Sloane's music is not only tuneful, but
IT Is written in a musicianer's style,
and although it has a trick of catch-
ing the ear, it has class which enables
its composer TO rank with the best
that America produces. One charm
about Mr.. Sloane's works is that he
never writes alike and his themes are
SO varied that the fault of sameness
so noticeable in many composers. some
even who have achieved greatness is
not noticeable. He has no particular
style aud musicians that are familitr
with his work are often surprised at
tho broadness of his field in tho mu-
Steal literature. He has gotten to that
point where he dominates with almost
every author that he corrohorates with,
and frequently. lyrics are written to his
measure, where the usual mode is that
the lyrics are written first aud the
music afterWard This as n rule in-
sures a more successful score and in
"Gingerhread Man" we find almost q
perfect one, This may probably be
accounted for from tho fact that Fred
erick G.. Ranken and a. Baldwin
Sloane We're in perfect accord.

HEARING AN EARTHQUAKE

After all, the earthquake that shook

at once the great iron doors rattlcd.
"Come in, you muttonhead,' Shout
ed one of the workers.
There was no response and the door
shook once more. +9
Come on in, --------------.' In lurd
language the machinist expressed his
ideas of the intelligence of the one
seeking admission.
Once more the door ratified and the
machinist strode over and pushed it
open.
There was nobody there.

THE SMALL FARM.

In the evolution and growth of AM
erican farming. the small farm has
been coming forward as a new ideal.
1t is receiving recognition as new
the farm. The development of irri-
cation, more notably than any other
factor, has added to tho spread of the
gospel Of the small farm and intcn-
sive cultivation.
In the irrigated sections new
standards are being set In farming
methods and in country life. 1t is
there that as an American ideal, the
family owned and family operated
farm Of moderate size will attain a
high degree Of perfection; 1t is there
that the farm homes are being pro-
vided with all the comforts and many
OF the luxuries of the present day
civilization; it is there also. that rural
home life will find It's fullest and
truest expression; hence. 1t is there
that "Civilization will attain its full
measure" using the words Of ex-
President Roosevelt. The course OF
the government In encouraging the
small farm by creating farms Of forty
to eighty acres on the Huntley and
other reclamation projects, is dictated

Intensive cultivation, thorough APP

Montana's agricultural prosperity
will be based upon the small farm be-
cause the bulk Of our agriculture will

Is a question that arises very often in
this town. Every day cats, and dogs
whose natural agility was not suff1ci-

automobiles and delivery wagons are
mercifully dispatched by humane cit

is called in carries the injured ami

usually out of consideration for public
safety, the chloroform route Is chosen.
In that case the question Is. "Who

man to buy it, but he rarely lives
up to their expectations.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee, and her experience is IN
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty
became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and 1t was quite
natural that | should want a good,
hot cup of coffee about that time. lt
stimulated me and could keep
awake better
After three or four years OF coree
drinking became nervous wreck,
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
/ was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave OF coffee, for he
feared that it had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, so l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
al began taking Postum and for
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the stimulant,
but liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.
Finally began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. AT
ter a years use of Postum now feel
like new woman--haye not had any
bilious attacks since left of coffee. !"

BACTERIA IN WATER.

One of the greatest sources of con-
tamination in creamery butter comes
from impure wash water. The cream
may be prepared with the utmost
care, but if the butter is washed with
water that contains Objectionable
bacteria, trouble is almost sure to fol-
low.
1t often happens that butter scores
very high when first made, but de-
teriorates very fast when placed in
storage. In many cases the trouble
may be traced directly to wash water
from surface wells that receive
drainage from barnyards and other
Objectionable places. Sometimes bad
water is filtered. So long as the fl
ter Is clean it may do good work, but
few filters are cared for as they
should be. When there is any sus-
picion that the wash water is not
right, it is better to boil it, even If it
has to cool afterwards before using.
There is a. great difference in but
ter makers in regard to using water
to wash the butter. Some use very
little and some use good deal, but
very few butter makers really under
stand the Importance of water that
is absolutely pure. Pure water kept
at temperature below fifty degrees
F. will remain in good condition for

FERTrLrzINc THE ORCHARD.

Apples, like any other crop, ex-
haust the soil, and unless the fertil-
ity is replaced exhaustion will surely
follow. 1t has been proven that fruit
from well fortified orchard Is less
liable to attacks from insect pests,
is more highly colored, has less Gull
fruit and sells for more in any fruit
market.
Experiments have also demonstra-
ted the fact that potash and phos-
phoric acid are the two elements
most needed. by orchard soils and
that it is best to avoid heterogeneous
manures, which stimulate the late
growth Of wood, which, especially in
short seasons, will not mature and
which will be more or less winter
killed.
1t has also been found by expert
ments that mineral fertilizers are
best adapted to the needs of the trees.
and that their application will pay
large returns.-R. Adams, in the In
diana Farmer.

szlS TOPICS. eSSS
THE BROOD MARE.

1t Is not advisable to breed from
any mare that does not herself pos
sess the characteristics required by
the breeder. For instance, suppose
the mare Is delicate in constitution
(this being ebout the worst fault OF
any animal of which hard work is
expected), then do not expect stall
lions, however good, to give a consti-
tuition to the foal. The evil infu-
ence of the mare will overrule him,
and instead of a healthful and cheer
full servant, stable invalid will be
thrown upon your hands. Suppose
your mare has a deficiency of bone,
what stallion is there that can make
1t balance? Suppose the mare is
wanting Ia breeding or quality, the
foal will probably show her deficiency
in the organs of circulation and res
piration. Breed therefore from sire
and dam very much alike, and sue
cess Is almost assured. The required
balance cannot be struck by mating
two extremes.-W. r. Gilbert, in the
Indiana Farmer.
