"Ben .Hur' the great religious
drama which is to be produced at the
Beck Theatre, Bellineham. Feb. 8, 8
and 10, has been received with as
much cordlality on the Pacific coast

theatreaoers in the great Biblical pro-
ductlon. The big spectacle was 6rst
produced ten years ago. 1t would
seem that every theatreRoer in the
country had witnessed the perform
snce. yet this year the audiences
are larger than ever. School children
have become interested in the play,
focking to the matinees in great num-
bers. "Ben- Hur'' considered merely
as a play. without the chariot race,
the shipwreck or wonderful scene of
the Mount of Olives. possesses liter
airy value. It's success as Biblical
spectacle makes the auditor forget
what a splendid library as we'll as

spoke at an institute last winter on
corn breeding, and urged the farmers to
pay more attention to the prolific char
acter of the corn than to the particular
STYLE of the ear, the good points in the
ear being desirable, of course, but not
the sole object of growing corn. The
institute director, when urged the
breeding to variety that would uni
formly produce two ears to the plant,
called up a corn breeder present and
asked him if he did not prefer single
ear to the stalk. He replied that he
did. Of course he did, because he had
always been breeding for the big ear,
being a regular exhibitor at the corn ear
shows, where q medium sized ear of pro-
life corn stood no show with the judges.

Boxes or Barrels for Apples.

The box plan of shipping apples
seems to have originated in the West,
Colorado, Washington and Oregon,
whence an enormous supply OF this
popular fruit has been sent to the mar.
kets OF eastern cities.
A prominent commission man In
South Water Street, Chicago, says that
il Ia mistake to think that apples may
not be packed as we'll in q barrel as 10
box, but q great many people are i'm
bued with the idea that 1t is the fancy
stock that comes in the little pine boxes
He SAYS that the reason the box hai
gained such headway Ia that boxes
mostly are used in the far West, where
barrel stuff is not to be had, and Il
would cost too much to ship from the
East to the Pacific country. Another
apple man says that the big cooperagt
strike of several years ago gave the bar
rel making trade such hard knock tba
Il never recovered, and that the box q,
one of the results came along and sup
planted the barrel. -,
A mistaken notion about the handling
of fruit In boxes 10 that the boxes ar
more solidly packed in car, but th'
commission man says that an ordinar,
car hold six hundred boxes and two hun
dred barrels, but It Is reckoned tha
there are exactly three boxes OF apples
in q barrel; so 1t IL On that there 10 NJ
advantage in this respect.
The apple men OF such markets .
Chicago still like the barrel. They sa!
that now they get 30 many boxes it Ire
auently occurs that the fruit Is removed
from the pine cases and repacked In TN
