MAIN Street
IMPROVEMENTS

preliminary work was started this week
by kaufman and Downey for a one
story stone building OH Main street on
the ground adjoining the Owl saloon on
the north. The place is now occupied
by three buildings, two of which will be
moved close up to the Owl building, and
the other moved to the corner of Main
and Broadway The new bliiding will
be put up on the south side of the Yer
ington Drug Co. S store, and will have a
frontage of 80 feet on Main street and
a depth of oefeet. The building. when
completed will be occupied by the Dill
lon & West hardware concern.
An extension of 80 feet will be made
to the rear of the drug store building.
Such improvements as these show the
faith OF our people in Yerington as the
depot ana distributing point for the
greatest agricultural and mining country

COURT HOUSE
At DAYTON
DESTROYED

SATURDAY. afternoon at 4 o clock the
people of DAYTON were startled by an
alarm of FIRE and in few minutes
nearly every resident OF the town was
rushing toward the Court House, from
which a dense smoke. was issuing, the
fire having started i'll the attic in the
front part of the building While a
large number of citizens made de-
termiHed fight against the blaze with
the inadequate fire-fighting facilities,
scores of men and women started to
save the books and other documents in
the several county Offices and the officers
report that everything III that line was
saved. A brisk wind was blowing at
the time and it was seen that the build
ing, which was of brick, was doomed
and the fire fighters bent their efforts to
conhne the FIRE to the Court House
building, in which they were successful.
The walls remained intact and seemed
to have withstood the heat in good
shape The interior of the structure
was totally destroyed The building
was valued 1t about $50, 600 on which
there was an insurance of SO 600
For several weeks Judge Langan has
been hearing the case of Mcleod IS
Miller & Lux, but lhe FIRE did not in
terfere with the trial which was resumed

FARMING AS
A SCIENCE

About the most wonderful pub
lications that come to US nowadays
are the agricultural papers and
magazines. That is, wonderful
by comparison with what they
were twenty years ago. They are
filled with discussions on all points
which concern the tiller of the
soil. The character of the soils
and what will best grow on each,
the properties of foods for amt
mails; the amount of nutrition IN
each, why some are good Tor one
animal and hurtful to another; the
different breeds of animals; the
virtues OF some for one purpose
and others for other purposes the
experience of capable farmers; the
effects Of climates; the diseases
that affect animals and their cures;

more the farmer who is a mere

LOCAL TALENT
MAKE A HIT

Last night at Rink Hall occurred the
of Ellen,' presented by the Women's
Book Club. Yerington. This light farce
was very aptly chosen and took well
with the public of both Yerington and
Mason. The plot is woven about the
love letter John Hume, the minister
writes to Dorothy signing only his in
itials j. H., which are also those of
June Haverhill. The letter falls into
the hands of Max Ten Eyck, rejected
suitor of June's and causes that Young
man several uneasy moments as he loses
SIS, 600 if he fails to marry Dorothy.
Miss Bigger of Mason, made an ador-
able Molly, the young wife in whose
home the two engagements take place.
Her song i'll the third act, Save Cosy
hearty applause of the audience. judi
son G.. K. Smith played the part of the
devoted young husband, SO well that
many began to doubt his bachelorlood.
Robert, Molly's brother, was played
by Mr. Prank Barnett, who has become
quite favorite as an actor. MIR. Bar
nett deserved a stronger part, but gave
his part i'll his usual strright forward
manner.
Miss Hila Patch played the part of
June Haverhll of Wellesley who accepts
the position of Maid to Mrs. Ford in or
der to write an intelligent paper on The
Servant Problem. But like the plans of
most charming Young ladies she decides
to put her economies into practical use
rather than OIL paper and become en-
gagged to Bob.
Dorothy Marck. about whose engage
ment SO much of the farce centers was
taken very creditably by Mrs. Thad
Hoppin. who needs no introduction to
the people OF Yerington Mrs. Hoppin
was especially feminine in the scene
where she breaks her engagement to
Max.
For comedy, Dwight Leavitt, as the
young ractor of St. Agnes was the
whole show. A professional could not
have impersonated the excited ackward
rector better.
Mr.. Weber, as Max Ten Eyck, could
not have been improved upon His
manner was natural and unrestrained
and our only query is, why didn't you
let us know before?
The duet Teasing in the first act
between Bob and June was very catchy
aud took we'll All the music was we'll
rendered 1t was charming little play
throughout and Yerington may well be
proud of its local talent.

face he must secure his bread.
That did not mean merely the
toll of his hands. 1t meant that
his brain should be worked as
well, and though it required many
thousands of years to bring out a
full understanding of the facts, it
is clear now that on the farm are
all the elements which man re-
ouires to make him, when he once
understands the full scope of his
business, the most accomplished
as we'll as the most useful OF
men, and more, that his life spent
in that study and that work fits
him better than any other for the
full duties of citizenship, and pre-
pares him better than any OF her

feel that his steps treinbles as he
