TOP OF THE WORLD
 IS COMING HERE
Manager Philpot Books Original New York Company, Which Will be Seen at the Elks Theatre November 9-A Ri" Attraction.

Manager C, E. Philpot, of the Elks theatre, has just closed contract with the big Top of the World" con- panl which comes to the Elks theatre on the 'sht of November 9. The show IS one of the biggest touring the south this season. It consists of seventy five high-class performers. The At lanta Constitution has the following to say of the show:
 The Top O tn World" presented at the Grand last evening for the first Of three performances, was given the 1 Atlanta o. K. by highly pleased and enthusiastic audience.
 The production proved a great cor nucopia of good things in the musj- cal comedy line. There were tune ttll songs in numbers, gorgeous stag ing, beautiful and shapeN women singers who could really sing, come- dlans whose work was as cheerfullv and eff -ct:vely done as if they were pla. 'ng on a percentage basis, and snappiness about the chorus that re- minded one of Cohan or of Carle. And best of all, the press agent told nothing but the truth when he said i'ls show was we'll supplied with pret- ty women. Some would be beauties without the advantage of makeup. wh le others looSeI stunning through the aid of rouge and powder. and average.
 There was pretty May Poth, stately Adele Oswald, dainty Pearl Beware Winsome Florence Smith, as Kokomo. and charming Will Nell Lavender. i while to this galaxy was added a chorus containing members attractive enough to give the principals race for honors.
 In little Kokomo "The Top O. tn World" presented the most feminine bit of femininity seen in Atlanta for many day. Just the sort of gir! a man thinks worth while, because of fer utter helplessness and dependence upon the masculine. She has the par Tor kind of voice that has the power to appeal to two men at the same time and make each believe the girl is sing ing to him alone
 A solo by Adele Oswold in the sec ond act and song. s"Twas in the T me of Roses.' by Francis Carrier, were the two song hits of the evening.
 nthe case of Miss Oswold it was the beauty of her voice that thrilled while in the case Of Mir. Carrier the words deserved equal praise with the singer.
 .tnother member of the cast to at tract unusual attention was. Miss Will Nell Lavender in the role Of Prince Tonymite,' Miss Lavender, who is one

Colorado Produce. the Grain.

Increase of $s,Ol5, 74O in a single
year in one Colorado crop-spring
wheat is shown by the United States
government crop report just issued.
Only four states in the union have pro-
duced more spring wheat this year than
Colorado. and those are the great wheat
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Washington.
In average yield per acre, the spring
wheat crop of Colorado leads all the
states. The average per acre in Colo
RADIO is given by the government report
at % bushels, while Minnesota trails
along with an average yield of only 1876
bushels per acre and the much-vaunted
lands of South Dakota yielded an aver
age of only l4.1 bushels, with the
North Dakota lands giving a paltry 1877
bushels to the acre.
The government has not yet compiled
its data on the winter wheat produc-
ton of Colorado. 1t is estimated by
miliers and others that the winter
wheat crop of the state is this year
greater than the spring wheat crop,
and in winter wheat, yields of from
forty to sixty bushels to the acre have
been frequently reported since thresh-
ing was begun.
