MAKES GOOD WINTER FORAGE
StubbIe Grasses and Weeds Will Be
Found Very Economical for All
Kinds Of Live Stock.

Fox tail and ray weed and the

before the stems become hard and
woody will make a very good winter
forage for mules, young cattle and
sheep. Cut when free from dew.

eral days, add a little more straw to
the top, then wire down.
The rick may smoke for a few
days, but If the weeds were free from
moisture when put in and 1t was well
sailed it will cure out nicely and
make a very acceptable winter forage
for all stock. Whether it Is best to
cut the second crop clover for hay or
to let it grow for seed will depend
upon the condition Of the clover. II
there is a thick stand of clover and
the heads well filled out, let 1t stand
for seed. On the other hand, II there
is much grass growing among the
clover 1t is best to cut 1t for hay.
Hay and grain of all kinds will be
high this winter and 1t will be the
part Of wisdom to cut and cure all
that is worth cutting SO as to have an
abundant supply to carry the stock
through the winter. The wheat and
oat stock should be put in the barn OF
securely ricked.

A Tramp and the Toothache.

The bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed
to grow with time. Never popular, his
memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing, but who were filed
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping
avarice.
But, like everything else those days,
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We did not

GRAIN AND GRASS
ESCAPE DAMAGE
Crop Report for Close of April Show:
Nearly Normal Condition All
Around.

The report of Crop Correspondent
Thomas Campbell to the federal de
partment of agriculture sent in for the
close of April does not indicate serious
damage to grains and grasses in this
county by frost. Mr.. Campbell esti-
mates that winter wheat is 80 per cent
of normal in growth and vitality, rye
80 per cent, meadows 80 per cent and
spring pasture 80 per cent. He esti-
mates that Is per cent of the wheat
will not be harvested, that 20 per cent
of last years hay crop has not been
marketed, that 20 per cent of spring
blowing and so per cent of the sowing
and planting has been done.
Average farm prices are given as
follows: Corn SO cents, wheat 81, oats

RAISE Rail RATES
First Step by Roads to Meet
Their Increased Operating
Expenses.
FREIGHT TARIFFS FILED
Those Already Entered With Inter-
state Commission Embrace Lines
in Western Association.

Washington, April 3O-Freight
tariffs showing considerable in
creases over the present rates from
western territory to the Atlantic sea-
board will be filed with the interstate
commission, to become effective
June 1.
This is the first step taken by the
railroads which appears to indicate
a purpose generally to increase
freight rates throughout the country
in order to enable them to meet
their increased operating expenses.
Wool Already Affected.
Already tariffs have been filed for
western roads increasing the rate
for the transportation of wool from
Minneapolis and st. Paul to New
York and other Atlantic seaboard
points. The present rate on wool
from Minneapolis to New York is
"a cents per hundred pounds. Under
the provisions of the tariff the rate
will be 81 cents hundred pounds,
an increase of nearly 20 per cent.
The rate to Boston will be proper
tionately higher.
An increase also has been made in
the freight rate on live hogs between
Minneapolis and st. Paul and Chi
cago of 2 u cents a hundred pounds
This is an increase of about IL per
cent over the present rate.
While no tariffs yet have been
filed with the commission increasing
the rate on meat products from Chi
cago to eastern territory the likeli-
hood appears to be that taking the
st. Paul-Chicago rate on hogs as a
basis, the rate on hog products from
Chicago to eastern points will be in
creased proportionately.
The tariffs already filed with the
commission are for all the roads in
western freight association territory
and the increase will become effective
simultaneously on all of them.

Hackett, at the Park theatre, New
York
In the early Indian drama the male
characters of the two highest castles
(priests and warriors) talked Sanscrit,
while all the women, children and the
lower class of people, talked Prakit.
The latter tongue was subdivided into
eight different dialects, the higher
quality of which was given to the
more important women, while the
menials spoke a dialect that CORE
sponded with what would be called
today the patois of the Sums"
One of the earliest German playbills,
dated 1902, runs as follows: To-day,
Saturday, on the 18th of July, the
Ventbenian Band as Royal Polish and
Electoral Saxon Court Comedians, will
perform on their stage an uncommon
ly pleasing scripture play which by its
magnificent theatrical scenery, but also
particularly as an emotional subject,
can scarcely be improved and cannot
displease anybody"
In the early days of the drama in
Germany, one of the travelling troupes
that played in the provinces, boosted
as its manager one Johann Carl Eek
enberg, who styled himself Samson the
Invincible, who could lift with one
hand a cannon with a drummer and
his drum on top of it, and hold it there
as long as it would take the drummer
to empty a glass of wine comfortably"
Ann Oldf1eld, who was one of the
first actresses to be honored with bur-
ial in Westminster Abbey, before 60
ing on the stage was a barmaid in a
tavern called the Mitre in st. James
Market, and through the influence of
Colly Cibber became an actress. She
was born in 1868, made her debut in
1899, and died 1870.
The following note appeared in the
New York Advertiser in the issue of
Dec. 4, 1851: 1.-The fourth annual ben
eft of the American Dramatic fund
took place yesterday at Niblos Gar
den. Among those who appeared was
a very remarkable child 8 years of
age named Adelina Patti Her voice
and execution astonished the audi
ence."

MoopYs GRAPHIC DRAMA,

William Vaughn Moody's graphic
conventional east, THE Great Divide"
will be presented at the Illinois next
Tuesday evening. This powerful play
ran for over 500 nights in New York.
where it was originally presented by
Henry Miller, the distinguished actor
manager, first at the Princess theatre
and later at the historic Days thea
ire. THE Great Divide" has added
much to the celebrity of Mr.. Miller as
producing manager and brought from
dramatic obscurity into permanent re-
nown an author who will have to be
reckoned with from now on in the
American drama. Mr. Moody has al
ready been established as this coun-
try's leading younger poet, and through
his occupancy of the chair of English
in the University of Chicago, his sew
era1 publications relating to the Ian
guage have long been quoted as an
authority upon English literature. But
until the production of 'The Great Di-
vide" even Mr.. Moody's best friends
never suspected that the brilliant young
poet could write play which would
be not only the most successful of its
time from pecuniary standpoint, but
which also would be declared by lead
ing critics as "the long-awaited great
American play" New York's verdict
has been that, original, dominant and
fascinating as Mr.. Moody's play is. the
author is under an overwhelming debt
to Mr.. Miller for the superb and illum-
mating way in which he has developed
its artistic possibilities, and to the ca
pable organization portraying the diff
ferent characters. The play could
easily have been ruined by less SYM
pathetic presentation. 'The Great Di-
vide is in three acts, the scene of the
first two being southern Arizona and
that of the third Massachusetts. In
a way, the play is a conflict between
the spirit of the east and that of the
west. An eastern woman, weighted
down by generations of tradition and
is strangely wooed
and still more strangely won by a
western man unfettered by custom and
ignorant of restraint of mind or &C
ton. The mating Of these opposite
natures provokes great storm and
stress and raises many intensely inter
esting and highly dramatic situations.
