bra He making of 4 musi-

Il complicated business,
requiring the services of a
very considerable number of
workinen, all of whom must
be trained carefully IN their
especial lines. To amuse the
great American public is not
an easy task. 1t becomes
doubly difficult when it must
be accomplished hurriedly.

it is presented at the Grand

see a "made-in-Los-Angeles"
musical comedy.
The theater, of course, is
a business as we'll as a tenn
pie of art, and the box Of
fee must prosper, else art
will languish. 1t costs us an
average of $500 to raise our
Sunday afternoon curtain
each week, apart from the
salaries of the Hartman
company. This includes
royalties on the pieces pre-
sented, costuming, new seen
cry, properties, and so forth.
It's a good deal of money,
$500, but 1t IS only a be-
ginning.

Burlington Saturday demonstrated
that it was candidate for the south
eastern title. Fairfield defeated
Burlington by a to 0 score and
Ottumwa downed the Orchard City
team by 10 to 8, showing that both
teams are evenly matched. Prior to
Saturdays game the Burlington team
never had their goal crossed, Fair

Ottumwa has an open date on its
schedule on November 10 II the
game is played it will be pulled on
that date and will be played at Fair
field, as it is Ottumwa's turn to
play in the college town. Fairfield
plays Clinton next Saturday for the
eastern Iowa title and the proposed
game between the Ottumwa and
Fairfield schools would decide not

While all the Central association
magnates are gathered in these
towns, the local representatives will
endeayor to show that Quincy needs
investigating. What they are going
to do is to prove to the other di-
rectors that the Quincy fans do not
want their class of ball and abso-

The Shark is Slow Swimmer.

One ill service nature has done the
shark namely. that of placing TRAN
gular I'm on his back which acts as
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity 10
be aware ot this peculiarly. for had
he been so he would unquestionably
abandon his habit of swimming close
TO the surface of the water and would
in that case be enabled TO approach
his victim unobseryed. The shark is 8
slow swimmer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, ''As darts the dolphin
from the shark" But Byron was
poet and does not appear to have been
g close observer OF the habits of in
habitants OF the water or he would
have known that q shark would have
no more chance of catching dolphin
than sheep would of overhauIing a
hare.
