''The Devil'' is a bold and unusual
theme. II takes the temptations and
tendencies that are met and felt by
every human being. but carefully hid
den from his fellow men. ana bring
them to the light as warning. The
Central City Republican says: st
must be remembered that The Devil
is not play for the emotions. but for
the intellect. 1t has a moral to teach.
and Its qualities are not by any means
superficial. The plot is indeed deep
one, yet it was the task of Richard
La Sale, who had the leading part, TO
unfold it in manner that would
make its possibilities clear to all.
This required the highest skill and
artistic sensibilties, and in these re-
spects Mr.. La Sale showed forth to
splendid advantage. Not until this
company returns for another engage
ment will our people have another OPP
portun'ty to witness IA play which pre-
sents SO many problems of vital and
human interest as ''The Devil" Don't

KEEP UP THE
MILK FLOW
BY Charles w. Burkett.

Just now is trouble-time with the
COW. Dry feed and improper grains
are certain to push down the milk
flow. By all that is right and possible
to do you must prevent this, else you
will be in a sad plight before grass
comes again. If you have no silo,
you are in bad straits indeed, for the
silo protects the milk flow of thou
sands of COWS as no other farm insti-
tuition is able to do If, however, you
have no silo, chalk it up as one Of the
necessities of the future. But do not
despair. With a roughage material
like clover or alfalfa or cowpea hay
on hand many difficulties can be con-
quered. In addition to any one OF
these, select as wisely as you can con-
centrated feeds that you need to pur.
chase. Get those rich in protein-cot.
tonseed meal, gluten meal, any sort
Of by-product that is high in this
milk-producing constituent. If you do
this at once you will check the down
ward tendency and maybe get through
the winter months with no marked
mishap.

have no more welcome gift in that

Another seasoned hOusekeeper gives
to every bride-to-be among her friends
what she calls "The Brides Friend
1t is nothing more than an elaborate
patch bag, but proves the most popu

She makes a large laundry bag OF
art linen in some bright color, binds
it with white linen tape, supplies it
with several pockets, inside and out
and embroiders on the front the ini
tials of the recipient.
The bag is then stocked with scrub
cloths, pieces of muslin for ironing
boards, covers for pots and pans, sew
eral yards of gray canton flannel fol-
wiping up floors, chamois skins, rolls
of old muslin and linen and good
sized pieces of silk and cloth.
The fame of this odd gift has been
spread by enthusiastic young house
keepers, who have found it a delight
to have a supply on which to draw be-
fore time provides them with rags
of their own.
