FEEDING Whole Grain.

Bulletin 242 of the Michigan expert

upon the subject of feeding whole
grain to cows. heifers and calves.
When whole corn was fed to COWS -
per cent was unmasticated. when fed
to heifers 10 per cent and when fed to
calves per cent. Chemical analysis
showed no change In composition OF

"The Widows Might Will Be
E~xemplifed by American
Beauty" Next Week.
- LECTION week at the Newark

ELECTION week at the Newark
Theatre will be marked by the
presence of Lillian Russell, who
is to begin her engagement Monday
evening and continue through text
week., with a special matinee on Tues
day afternoon and a regular afternoon
performance on Saturday. The famous
American Beauty" is returning to
Newark with an entirely new comedy
success, which she tried out during her
recent New York run, and in which she
was signally successful.
The play is a modern comedy, called
''The Widows Might" 1t was written
for Miss Russell by Edmund Day,
whose previous efforts with THE
Roundup are a warrant of his pos
session of dramatic instinct. In the
Russell play he has departed from his
former style and gone into New York
city for the locale of the action. The
comedy is In four acts. Two of these
take place i'm the business district of
the metropolis, and the remaining two
are scenes in uptown homes OF the
people in the story. The character out
lined by Miss Russell is that of the
widow whose husband has left her all

of by four former business associates
of the unfortunate s~peculator, VINO
never let her know that he died with
out a dollar, In caring for the widow
each in turn loses his heart to her, and
how they seek to steal a march upor
each other and win the widows con-
Sent to a marriage develops a series OF
human, and yet amusing. incident
that keep the comedy bubblinS. A bi'
of roguish by-play by the widow IL
purposely misunderstanding the pro
posal OF a young man adds to the fui
of these complications.
The dramatic interest is sustained IL
the fact that the widow is made u
mistrust her friends by an unscrupu
lous uncle. and under his guidance sh'
plunges into the financial world ant
nearly balks the pet railway project o
her friends. Finding her mistake a
the last moment, her efforts to right tn
mischief furnishes the play with its in
tensely interesting climax.
Joseph Brooks has provided Mis-
Russell with a production that is NOR
than adequate. Her company Is tn
same as appeared with her during tn
New York run. In the cast will b
found Frederick T~ruesdell, Waite
Hitchcock, Joseph Tuohey, Sydne,
Booth, Walter V. Pennington. John I
