Miss Herndon Directing eenIuses.

To an audience that came very
near taxing the capacity of the Grand
Opera House local talent last night
presented "TLe Lilliputian Wedding
and Trial by Jury" The entertain
ment was given under the auspices
of the Guild Of the Holy Child for the
benefit of the organ fund of st. Peters
Episcopal church and was one of the
most creditable and deserving ever
presented in Columbia. That the au-
dience was thoroughly appreciative of
the efforts of the members Of the
castles was manifested time and again
by the applause. The beautiful tab
leau presented by the Lilliputian We'd
ding reflects immense credit upon
Mrs. Easton Littlefield who directed
the play. The music was a feature of
the evening end the talent of Miss
Camille Herndon was never more adj
vantageously displayed than in the
work of the chorus, she having the di-
rection of the music of the entertain
ment
The caste which presented the beau
tiful little wedding was made up of
boys and girls from four to thirteen
years of age and every one did we'll

could not be made of any particular
member without drawing distinctions

and the lighting effects, the beauti-
full grown up costumes worn by the
"lilliputians,' the splendid talent
which all displayed combined to make

In the farce comic operetta some
admirable work was done by Bertram

matter any audience anywhere ever

the program from beginning to end ev-

PRICES OF BEST
GRADES OF BACON
MAY Be HIGHER
DROP IN PRICE OF OTHER MEATS
MAY NOT AFFECT BREAK
FAST BACON.
lUf 10 SCARCITY OF BIG HOGS
Wholesale Prices of This Meat Are
Very High While Dry Salt sides
May Go Lower II Is Controlled
BY Different Causes.

| This mornings city papers report
very sudden and unexpected drop in
prices of meat both in the United
States and Canada, and even poultry
is affected, but the cost of the best
grades of breakfast bacon is not ex-
pected to show any decrease, accord.
ing to local grocer, who states that
the second best grade is now selling
at 1914 cents wholesale, and it is said
may go higher. while the best grade OF
course sells at higher wholesale
price than the second.
Such conditions may appear remark
able in view of the drop in prices re-
ported, but there's a reason, and
good one, as little investigation will
show.
During the last few years hogs have
commanded such high prices that peo-
ple sold all they could possibly spare,
and more possibly than they should
have sold, and the result is that the
large hogs which furnish the break
fast bacon have become very scarce,
and the price has naturally risen, and
it is expected wlIi reach still higher
figure, as supply regulates demand.
Rise Has Been Remarkable.
About eighteen months ago break
fast bacon Of one brand which gro
Ger mentioned, and which is the sec
ond grade, went Fl ON Is cents to "a
cents, then to 26 and is now selling at
1914 cents, these being wholesale
prices. He retails this grade at 35
cents pound He says the whole
sale price may go above 2S1a cents.
The inferior grade of bacon, known
as dry salt bacon, has gone from OF
to IL cents and at one time reached
Is cents, but the same conditions do
not apply in regard to this grade as
to the best grades and it is probable
that prices Of this grade will be low
er if the present drop in prices COM
tinues.
Cause Of Drop In Pork.
1t is said that the corn crop Is un-
usually large, and that while corn has
been sold from 81 to So per barrel, It
has fallen to So to 1925 barrel. This
being the case the price of pork would
be affected and this is as
signed as one of the reasons for the
drop in the market. Another reason
why the price Of the cheaper grades
of pork is expecter to fall is this, the
season has arrived when more fresh
more fresh pork and more
poultry will be eaten than during the
,ot weather, and all these things are
expected to lave bearing on the
market. The consumption of fresh
meats win be practically general
the country, and it is not
to suppose that the
PRICES of pork win fall.

MAKES APPEAL FOR
SHORT COURSE IN
AGRICULTURE HERE
PRESIDENT MERoNEY TELLS OF
ITS ADVANTAGES TO
FARMERS.
SHOUL HAVE Big ATTENDANCE
The Tillers of the Soil Have oppor-
tunity to Hear Many Facts That II
Will Profit Them Very Much to
Know.
(By ]. N. Meroney, President Maury
County Farmers Society,"

(By j. N. MerOneys ETeSluenC Maury
County Farmers Society,"
The short course in agriculture or
farmers school will begin in Columbia
Monday, November 21st, and hold one
week. Well informed speakers and
teachers will be furnished by the
State agricultural department and by
the State experiment station. The
school will be free to all, and all farm
ers, both old and young are urged to-
attend
Our farmers society has worked
faithfully to get the school for Maury
county and feel very fortunate that
we have succeeded, for it promises
much benefit to the Maury county
farmers if it is properly patrorized.
There will be lectures and practical
demonstrations Gu many farm rrob-
lens. AmoMg them will be the prsct1-
cal demonstration of the spraying
mixtures for combating the insect
enemies and fungo diseases that effect
our fruit trees with tn exhibition of
the most approved spraying outfits for
their use. OF late years the alarming
increase of insect enemies and de-
structive fungo diseases have disheart-
ened many fruit growers, but we are
glad to know that through the scientif-
id experiments Of our agricultural sta
lions, a remedy has been discovered
that makes it possible to grow sood
fruit again in our farm orchards, with
& little careful outlay of labor, time
and money. This will be taught Us.
The selecting and testing of seed
corn is another important study that
will be given attention, and it is GER
tainly necessary for us to get all the
information that we can along this
line, for the corn crop is easily our
most important grain crop on the
farm. The U. S. department Of agri-
culture estimates the value of the corn
crop in the United States at over two
billion dollars for 1910, and yet the
yield per acre only shows an average
of twenty-six bushels. This should
not satisfy us, when it has been known
to yield nearly ten times that much I
Under special cultivation. And it is
fact that the production OF this Icop
ro,rct ha incraacod ppr acre If the
farmer hopes to feed the fast increas-
ing millions of the earths inhabitants.
The preparation Of the land and the
cultivation and harvesting of the prin-
cipal farm crops will be scientifically
taught
Practical lessons in dairying, butter
making, economic feeding OF the dairy
COWS and beef cattle will be taught.
There will be practical lessons IN
Judging live stock. hogs, sheep and
COWS, with the specimens present.
In fact this will b ca school for the
farmer, and il we attend and heed the
teachings something of value can be
learned by all
The three days meeting of the Mid
Gle Division Farmers Institute will be
held at Nashville the 1st week in De-
eember. The busy week of the farm
will be over. We hope for good at
tendance at both meetings.

NOT GOOD NEIGHBORS.
Public Buildings Do Not Enhance

The contrast between the dignity of

and the grace and harmony of it's outlines
with the surroundings bordering the

noted. The charm of the building and

IT is a never ending matter of wonder
TO many people that the beauty of the

tons about the Capitol. and exactly why
they should exist today is one of those
anomalies of real estate holdings that
continually puzzle those who study them.

UTAH'S BIG WOOL CROP.
Business Growing Steadily-0ne of
States Best Industries.

From the Salt Lake Telegram.
Just how large an asset TO Utah IS the
sheep raising industry in this state can
be readily seen by a glance at the figures
for last year compared to price this year.
1t was reported in l*ts that approximate
ly 2.100.OO sheep Were quartered on the
ranges of Utah. and according TO 4. Il.
Stewart. secretary IF the Utah Wool
Growers Association. this amount has
not been exceeded this year But tic
price being received this year per head
has risen from s. to 81. against 81 TO 81

for the purpose OF wool. ranks second 10
no other industry in the state Over MI
teen million dollars is invested in the
business throughout Utah, including
equipments, land and sheep owned BY
the different firms engaged In this bust
ness The wool crop this year was about
the same size as last years crop, APP
proximating fifteen million pounds. Last
year the wool growers Were forced TO sell
their stock at from IL to IL cents

to from D. to "a cents pound. Taking
an average price OF % cents a pound,

sum of So, 10000 compared with

AMOUNT EATEN IN 70 YEARS.
In That Time Man Consumes Nine
ty-Five Tons.

From the New York Sun.
If man OF seventy years was starving,
1t would probably be little comfort to him
to think that he had consumed in the
course Of his life 537l tons Of solid food
and 42K tons of liquid, or about 1.2SO
times his own weight in both solids and
liquids, but 1t would be true.
Being a man of average appetite and
purse he would have eaten fifteen tons OF
bread, which would have made a single
loaf containing LOO cubic feet and APP
pearing about as large as the average
suburban home, and on this bread he
would have spread one ton of butter. If
his bacon had been cut i'll a single slice.
says Harper's Weekly, the strip would
have been four miles long. anf his chops
placed end to end would have extended
two miles.
Twenty ordinary-sized bulIocks have
supplied him with beef. eighteen tons of
which he has eaten, along with five tons
of fish and 10000 eggs and $50 pounds Of
cheese. If he had elected to have all his
vegetables served at once they would
have come to him in a train of cars, the
pod containing all his peas being over
three miles long
He has had 5000 pounds Of sugar, 100
pounds of salt. eight pounds of pepper
and 100 cans of mustard. Three pints of
liquid day would have amounted to 49,
600 pints, or AN tons. If he had been a
smoker, he would have burned about half
a ton of tobacco in a pipe, or If he pre-
ferred cigarettes would have smoked
about 10000.

Not q Genuine Patriot.

From the Newburyport News
The esteemed Atchison Globe has this
to say:
When a certain kind of ma n approaches
us we always know what he is going to
say before he speaks. He always says
the same things; every man in his class
does. He Is the kind of man who when
the picture of an American flag is thrown
on the screen at a moving picture house
knocks the house down with applause
Oh, yes, we all know that fellow. He's
the man who waves his arms when the
American flag is shown and thinks that
Is an eXemplifcation of his patriotism.
Then he loses all interest in the matter
He's great flag waver He is found
supporting the cheapest men for Office,
frequently he can be found working po-
litically for money. He is sometimes
knocker in his own community tries to
tear down the business of men much
better than he and makes himself an un-
desirable citizen Of the community in
general.
The flag stirs his eyes only, 1t goes no
deeper. He loses his head at the red,
white and blue. but he forgets or does
not understand what those colors blended
in the beautiful emblem OF this country
stand for. He is a patriot-on the sur
face only.

Picket Fences Desirable.

The movement toward securing express
sfons OF opinion relative to the use of
open fences rather than solid board walls
for the protection of back yards has re-
ceived the cordial Endorsement of the
Chamber of Commerce. 1t has just been
decided that there will be no municipal
regulation on the subject. Many builders
already have adopted this reform, and a
large number of householders are receiv-
ing the benefit. 1t is intended that the
back yards of the future shall be both
attractive and sanitary. OF course, the
advantages are recognized by a change
from the high fences. which shut in the
rear of houses. to picket fences. which
admit light and sunshine. to say nothing
of the protecting eyes of the police pa
trolmen.

about 0.22: and in regard to mass, the
earth's being reckoned at one. the mass
Of Marian atmosphere seems to be not
over O.1O, and that of Venus not much
more than the earth's. Observation OF
Venus indicates a dense atmosphere. but
its true density is unknown. 1t is inter
estfng to note the theoretical height of
the barometer under such varied condi-
tons. Normally at sea level the terres-
trial barometer records thirty inches,
while on Mars its height would he about
25 inches, and on Venus approximately
twenty-seven inches.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
study of atmospheric conditions seems to
be decidedly more favorable to the pres
ence Of life. as known on earth, upon
Venus than upon Mars. Further light
may be thrown upon an examination of
the subject by consideration Of the
kinetic theory of gases as related to at
mospheric air.
