FORREST wrNANT IN THE COUNTRY Boy
stimulus for his ambition by attach
ing himself to chorus girl. On her
he wastes his time and money and at
last comes to the end Of his rope in
the realization that failure has stamp
ed him as her own. Disappointed and
defeated, despair overtakes him.
He is about to make away with him
self when he is caught in the firm grip
of man with a healthy and optimis-
tic view of life, who labors hard and
succeeds in restoring the boy to his
original self respect and enthusiasm
The youth returns to his home town
to fight anew the great struggle of life,
He succeeds by first winning the es-
TEEN and confidence Of his fellow
townsmen and the girl, who has never
let her love for him abate in the least.

of typical habitues of the great white

the healthy, stury Americans par
ticularly indigenous to the small coun-
try towns.
A new play by Margaret Mayo, en-.
titled Baby Mine" is another produc-
ton that is winning much success.
This is farce In three acts, in which
all sorts of funny complications follow
the borrowing Of baby by q young
wife. Later on in the season we are
to have new play by George Ade
"a Certain Party" is the title Of a
new political farce comedy in which
Mabel Hite is starring this season. 1t
tells the story of a progressive citizen
who enters politics with the very
laudabIe purpose of instituting some
necessary reforms. His campaign
fares very badly until his niece's
Irish maid, who knows all "the boys"
steps to his rescue and teaches him
the necessity of the human element in
politics With her assistance the re-
form candidate finds his course easy
sailing. Miss Hite is supported in the
play by her husband, Mike Donlin, the

Fanny Aymer Matthes has written a
play called THE Red Swan" which
has for It's theme grand opera prima
donnas career. 1t is to be produced
under the management of John B,
Doris, and 1t is expected real grand
opera singer will take the leading role,
which is rather melodramatic.

feet deep and putting rocks in the

the roots running down into the SUBJ

result was sort of basin to gather

SOIL and the asparagus was late and
poor. There had been labor and ex-

run feet apart. These burrows
should be cleaned out a foot deep.

have the plants remain where they
terminate, and seed is cheap enough
to plant the whole at once. Two rows
Of onions can be sown between the
rows, and the whole cultivated with
hand wheel cultivator, II the spaces
between the rows are heavily fertiliz-
ed broadcast. In the fall apply 500
pounds per acre Of kainit broadcast,
and in the spring fertilize with 500
pounds Of acid phosphate, 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda and 500 pounds Of
cottonseed meal or fish scrap per
acre. You can cut some asparagus
that spring. but should not cut 1t
long. Keep up the annual fertiliza-
ton and cultivate clean and you
will have a full crop the seq
ond year and an increasing one for
years. The roots will be near the
surface and will start early and you
will cut green asparagus.
If you want it blanched, then pillow
the earth in beds over the rows in
the fall. But in most eastern mar
kets and in most families there is an
increasing demand for green shoots.
IL you want to plant roots, get one
year-old ones and plant In similarly
prepared rows and cover lightly till
they start and then work in the soil
level. But you will be a year later
in getting crop than from seed.

Judge POindexter in Canyon City

Judge William Poindexter ot
Cleburne, a candidate for Cover
nor, spoke Wednesday afternoon
in the district court room, to
an enthusiastic and may say
appreciative audience, many
ladies present. The court room
was filled to its seating capacity,
and chairs were procured to
furnish seats for those who ar
rived late, and numbers stood
up in the isles and coridores.
Some of the salient points made
in the course of the Judges re-
marks. He said that he was
not running on one issue, nor
did he have a "Coonskin Plat
form, that was against every
thing, submission, prohibition
and for nothing but the saloon,
He criticised Colquitt for hold
ing office and drawing pay as
Railroad Commissioner while
making the race for governor.
He also advocated the revision of
existing laws as to cElrt Pro
cedures that are now on our
statute books which are too an
cient, to modernize the laws. He
then gave an example of his own
experience. He also advocated
better school laws in that pupils
should have longer school and
better schools, especially in the
rural districts. He made strong
appeal on the question of prohi-
bition.
The Judge is strong and
forcible speaker and has pre-
sented his views on the public
issues in manner that has won
admiration in Canyon City. A
great deal of interest was taken
in the subjects that he discussed
and about three fourths of those
present were so favorably i'm
pressed that he would have been
elected if put to vote at the
close of the meeting, in other
words PoindeXter adherants
were greatly in the majority.
He expects toaddress the people
of Amarillo at the Grand Opera
House Thursday night.

Judge Browning A Candidate for Reelection

Our well known District Judge
in this issue announces his can
didacy for reelection to the
bench. A more popular man in
the Panhandle could scarcely be
named, having lived in this Sec
tion of the State for twenty nine
years, during which time he has
practiced law in the courts of
the country, and during the last
three and one-half years OF
which time he has ably occupied
the District bench.
His administration as judge
has been characterized by
promptness, courtesy, and fair
dealing to litigants and lawyers
and his popularity is well
founded in the hearts of the peo
pie.
Judge Browning was eight
years in the House of Represen
tatives from this country anc
was the man who brought the
country into notice as habitablt
and fertile land, before which
time it had been considered bar
ren, and fit only for cattle rails
ing.
He served with honor as Lieu
tenant Governor from 1899 tt
1903 during Governor Sayre''
administration and the Panhan
die has been honored in honor
ing him and will continue it.
