 Some of the big song hits that al ready have become familiar are: ''l Think Hear la Woodpecker Knock ing on My Family Tree" "I Can't Love Everybody" Kiss Me" and a beauti- ful Indian love song, which is the most artistic number in the produc. ton, calling for costumes that are unusually beautiful and unique.
 The cast includes such we'll known artists as Willard Curtiss, Marie Flynn, Nina Davis, Franklyn Farnum, Joseph Neimyer, Charles Horn, Lew Fuller, Peter Raymond Jack Lawton, and Robert Powell, with chorus of a half hundred beauties from the Princess and LeSalle school.

And now one word as to the
value of these exhibits. Pittsburg
was in many respects a surprise to
us. We went there, as | said at
first, to win over the steel work
crs. We won over the farmers of
the middle states. We did not
realize until we were in the midst
of it all that these men, old and
young, were eager to go on irri-
gated lands, where they could raise
practically double the crops they
could where they are at present
o:ated. We did not realize until
we were there that these men
had awakened to the immense OPP
portunities that lie out in the ir-
rigated sections of Colorado. They
had struggled in season and out
of season against all kinds of odds.
They had prayed for rain in the
drought years. They had prayed
for the destruction of insect
pests in all years. The federal
agricultural department as well
as the state, had taught them
how to protect themselves in the
latter instance, but the govern
ment could not make rain or hold
it back when it was not needed.
SO these farmers have suddenly
come to realization that out
there they not only can control
the insect pests, but they can
control as well the water in the
irrigated sections in the West
