COLLEGE LADS
IN LONG SKATE
Four Students Of LAGRANGE Make
Trip From that place to
Quincy on the Ice.

Quincy Journal: Four students OF
the LAGRANGE, Mo, college performed
quite an athletic stunt today when
they came down the river on skates
as far as the river bridge in just fifty
Ave minutes. This is the first long
distance skating feat that has been
performed in this section of the coun-
try for some years.
The names of these bows, whose
ages range from 1G to IS years, are:
Roy Wagner. Benny Marshall Harry
Courtney and Parker Wood.
The three first lads kept well along
together, but Wood was about mile
behind his three companions.
Young Wagner informed , Journal
representative that the party depart

this piece is presented here tomorrow
afternoon and evening.
This pretty opera is in a class by
itself and is totally unlike anything
that we have been accustomed to in
a comic opera line, which, by the way,
is so much preferable to the usual
musical comedy offering.
To the charming little story of
Legendary characters is added comedy
that appeals to the intelligence, yet
absolutely funny, music that Is charm
ing throughout, costuming attractive,
and scenery that Is delight to the
eye In fact, the Gingerbread Man
has no difficulty in finding vogue
wherever it has been presented. There
is just enough story to interest. and
with touch of sentiment and dash
OF travesty, the whole is served up In
such novel way that one is con.
tinually delighted with every phase
and turn.
"The Gingerbread Man. while it is
fairyesaue in character. the story is
treated in such a unique way that it
is more like high cast travesty. and
the clever badinage, the satirical
turn of the dialogue and the comic
epigramme that prevades it all, an.
, peals more to the intelligent class in
a community than to those who love
horse play, low comedy. and the sug.
gestiye style of entertainment so much
in vogue of late. The story is pretty
and enough to interest, the characters
create interest for themselves the
moment they appear on the stage, and

THE SKIRMlSH
in THE SKIES
Moon, Sun and Two Comets are Dart
in Around and Getting Ready for
Battle if Mars SO
Orders.
WATCHING THE COMET
The Night Rider in the Sky Was Out
Again Last Evening and Seen
by Many of the
People.

With the moon full and hanging
around in the sky until the sun comes
up. with strange new comet chas-
ing the sun and the famous HALEY
comet creeping up out of the east
onto the new comet, there is some
I thing doing in the heavens. Mars,
/ the God of war, is looking on and
/ directing the engagement which has
30 far proven to be only skirmisn
but if Mars sees the opportunity, the
mighty God of war may give the
orders for an attack and the whole
sky may be ablaze with the shock az
conflict of battle.
Have you seen the new comet?
Did you see the full moon in the
sky last night and wake up this
morning to find it still there, dropping
down into the polar regions just be-
fore the sun came up?
Z With one comet now shining every
night, with another one coming soon,
!, with the moon shining the full night
the time. Keokuk should enjoy the
long DAYS of the Esquimos who some
times have a day six months long.
But following their long day. they
have long night and this is what
may happen here if the comets, moon
and sun should get into a desperate
battle and one of them A5Suld be
killed and extinguished-
Mars, the God of war is G. rducting
the sky battle and if he sees fit to
order clash to the death, there will
be interesting developments. Such a
thing is not likely, however, for Mars
has been commander-in-chief of the
army of the sky for several centuries
and has not yet seen fit to start any
thing rough up there. The sky Is
wide and there is plenty of room for
each planet and comet to pick out its
own path and follow it, without inter.
ferring with its neighbors.
Last evening the new comet was out
again in the western sky and was
watched by many people It did not
appear until after GOO o'clock and ap.

moonlight, or the fact that the comet

There are many people who have

10000 ACRES OF
RICH SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY

We own 10000 acres of Califor-
MAS richest fruit land in the heart
of productive San Joaquin Valley
the treasure chest of the world.
This tremendous tract lies IN
Kern county to the southeast of
Bakersfield. 1t is near the foot
hills of the Sierra Nevadas and
from 400 to 500 feet above sea level.
These Early Fruit Lands bear the 81
mark of the Creators hand-not
only in beauty but in wealth ~
that lies in the rich granite de- Es
posts that bespeak enormous pro- rs
ductive power of the soil.
This stretch of fertile valley ha
been divided into 20 acre tracts-eac
capable of netting their owners fror
5000 to $1,000 each season-and thes
are conservative estimates.
We dare not place an average prof
figure on any of this rich iand-the po
sibilities are so immense that they ar
scarcely believable.
We are located in the thermal {
frostless be1t-cool in winter and war;

"Graustark," Geo. Mccutcheon'
story, was presented last night at the
Grand to good sized audience. The
cast was not exceptionally strong but
gave fair satisfaction and to those
who had read the book its unfolding

The American spirit and grit pre-

THESE ARE
THRIVING INDUSTRIES

The beauty of this great proposition
is that the wait for fruit trees to come
into state OF bearing is shorter than
anywhere else in the "Orchard State"
During that short period of develop
ment the fruit farmer will pay for his
land by side industries, and when the
golden oranges, lemons. peaches. april
cots, raisins. prunes, etc. ETC.. are ready
for market the money they bring is net
profit.
The chicken industry is a source of
immediate profit - SO great are the
returns from this side line alone that
poultry keepers find this land better for
Chickens than any in the Middle West.
. Bee culture, the most fascinating
business pursuit known. is among the
leading money-makers of the San

of sunshine for the past FIVE years. :
The climate is healthful-warm in
summer, but never so hot that the fruit
