the divorce was granted formal
contract was drawn up wherein he

The corn from these states totaled
61,7S7,000 bushels more than was
produced by Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota, Kansas and Colorado.
Mr.. Calvin says he chose these
Northern states as the basis of COM
parison because htey more nearly
than any others approached the av-
erage yield per acre in the United
States"
These Northern states, the report
says, produced nearly twice as much
corn per acre as did the cotton states.
The acre yield in the North averaged
25.5 bushels, against 1874 bushels in
the South.
Mark that fact, for the report
adds: ut locates the weak spot in
our favor. 1t tells us that we need
not increase our corn acreage one
inch. What we need to do is to in
crease our average yield per acre"
How this increase may be accom-
plished is then shown by figures from
the Georgia Experiment Stations
work, where an average yield of 45.6
bushels per acre was obtained In
1909.

ALFRED IS ALL
To THE CANDY

Alfred the First is a chimpanzee
with an almost human brain, that
is doing all kinds of stunts at the
Pantages theater this week, and on
Sunday amazed large audiences
with his marvellous intelligence.
He is grotesque little figure as
he appears in full evening dress,
and appears to have a human ap-
probation of the applause that
greets his performances. At the
dining table he handles his knife
and fork after approved methods
and at the conclusion of the meal
lights and smokes cigarette,
which he puffs with evident relish.
Delmar and Delmar are sensa-
tional and daring equilibrists and
introduce new features in their act.
Muriel Window is a charming
musical comedy star and possesses
a pleasing voice which she uses
with effect. She was recently the
star in the Miss Cutie company of
New York and England.
Edwin Keough and Helen Mel
son presented the latter's mythical
caprice, "A Bit of Barney" which
was well received. The stage set
ting in this was magnificent, a
stream of water and falls being Civ
Ell most natural effect by means
OF mechanical contrivances.

man papering room. And if you
don't laugh at each one of the new

himself it will be because you have
already died laughing.
Laughs are plentiful on the bill

profusion of laughs in It, Augusta
Close, who tops the bill in a piano
logue, has a musical talking skit
which is full of humor and melody.

power She dresses and undresses
herself; goes to bed; sews like a
lady, skates, rides a bicycle up and
down an incline and over obstacles
and does other remarkable stunts.

orably known here, kept up a run
ming fire of witty comment as he
went through his splendid coin
manipulating act. Dewitt Young

hibition of boomerang throwing.

WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

Low morning temperatures have
prevailed in the northwest within
the last "a hours, owing to an area
of high pressure that moved from
western Canada Saturday, the
crests of which now over South
Dakota Another crest of high
pressure is over eastern Ontario
Between these areas of high, a
small area of low pressure Is
crowded, that has resulted in rain
from the middle Rockies over the
upper Mississippi valley to the
Ohio valley. Rain fell in Florida
and Maine.
At 5 a. m. Spokane time, temper.
atures below freezing prevailed
over Montana and the western part
