of the company are two one-act bur
lesques. My Uncle's Reception and
"A Trying Situation Both pieces are

Jennings a comedian known to all

edy. He is ably supported by such
clever performers as Ralph F. Taylor,

The press agent says: Barriers
Burned Away, The story of E. P. Roe,
and founded upon the great Chicago
fire, has been made into a play by
George Middleton and has attained JIM
mediate success. The play like the
book tells a good wholesome story,
which, while it entertains it carries a
great moral lesson. The story tells of
the love of a poor but brilliant young
man for a rich and naughty girl, who
SCOTS at all religion, but finally the
barriers of religion and wealth are
swept away in the great Chicago fire
and all ends happily. Messrs. Gas

it is said, will prove as popular as Mr..

drama since the lays when Clara Nor

Sarah Bernhard was in her prime as
the central character of the great Sar-

wonderfully realistic story of a moth

least impressionable in spite of them
selves. and that is calculated to bring
tears to the traditional craven image.

AIR RACE FROM PARIS
TO LONDON BY BERLIN.
Sixty Thousand Dollars offered by
French and German Papers.

An ambitious scheme is being ar
ranged by several newspapers in
France, Belgium and Germany-an
aerial race between Paris, Berlin,
Brussels, London AID Paris. Prizes
amounting to 100000 will be offered.
The proposed route is from Paris,
along the valley of the Meuse to AK
la-Chapelle, thence by Dusseldorf,
Hanover, Brunswick and Magdeburg to
Berlin and, following the Elbe as far
as Hamburg, to return by Oldenburg
and Munster to Cologne; afterward the
route would be along the Rhine,
through Holland to Rotterdam and
Brussels, on by Ostend and Lille to
Calais; then over to Dover and Lon
don, returning via Boulogne to Paris.
Notwithstanding the gigantic char
acter of the undertaking It is believed
that with the present progress Of avi-
alton the attempt will be possible be-
tween June and August. 1911.
Another cross channel fight is an
nounced for next July "a, this time
from Dover to Ostend and back. The
Royal Ostend Yacht club will have its
annual cross channel race for sailing
and motor yachts from Dover to Os-
tend. The distance is over sixty naU-
teal miles in a straight line. To mini
mize the risk the Aero club of Ostend
is to ask the assistance of the yacht
club to "police" the course. 1t is pro-
posed to start the aeroplanes some
time after the yachts get under way

Hoxsey used a heavy stock Wright
biplane, equipped for passenger SER
vice, and he made the journey from
the field to point beyond the noun
tains in one hour and IS minutes.
The distance is estimated at "a
miles. On an air line the distance
from the field to the mountain is less
than that, but Hoxsey circled over
the field until he had reached his
maximum height before he pointed
the nose of his machine toward the

he made the attempt at topping the
peak.

The farmer supplies the capital for
production and takes the risk Of his

Such Is Amazing Value OF Farm Prod.

Of AgricuIture's Annual Report.
Some Details Of the Departments
Work.
washington, Dec. 9.-The secretary
of agriculture, James Wilson, has is
sued his annual report. He reviews
conditions throughout the country in
comprehensive manner. He says in
part:
Nothing short of omniscence can
grasp the value of the farm products
OF this year At no time in the worlds
history has country produced farm
products within one year with a value
reaching $S,926, 100000, which is the
value of the agricultural products of
this country for 1910. The value of
farm products from 1899 to the pres
ent year has been progressive without
interruption. If the value of the prod
ucts of 1899 is placed at 100 the value
for this year is 189, or about double
the value for the census year eleven
years ago. During this period of un-
exampled agricultural production, a
period of twelve years, during which
the farmers of this country have stead
lily advanced in prosperity and wealth
and in economic indepen6 ence, ins in.
telligence and knowledge of agricrl-
ture, the total value of farm products
is $79,O0O,O00,000
'The corn crop of 1921, 1881, 900 bush
els exceeds that of the record year
1906 and is greater than the average
crop OF the preceding five years by IA
per cent. While the value of this corn
crop is below that of 1909 and also of
1908, its amount belongs to stories of
magic. 1t can hardly be reckoned as
less than $1,500,000,000, a sum suff-
cient to cancel the interest bearing
debt of the United States, buy all of
the gold and silver mined in all of the
countries Of the earth in 1909 and still
leave to the farmers little pocket
money.
Corn in the South.
"The growing importance of the
South in corn production is becoming
conspicuous. In 1889 it produced
hardly more than one-ffth of the ma.
tional crop; now it produces one-third
The cotton crop of this year may be
worth in Int and seed around $780,
100000 at the farm, or more than the
corn crop was worth in any year
prior to 1901. This value is 13 per
cent above the five year average. The
value of the hay crop is about $780,
100000, an amount which has been ex-
ceeded but once, and that in 1907. It
is Ii per cent above the average of
the preceding five years. Fortunately
the wheat crop is divided into two
sowings, autumn and spring, so that
the two crops are subject to different
climatic accidents, as was the case
this year. The production of spring
and winter wheat is 691, 1,767,00O bush
els, or substantially the average of
the preceding five years, whereas the
value is about S625,O00,000, or 7,6 per

SAND STORM NEARLY COSTS
 VALLEY RANCHER HIS LIFE

PHoENIX. July 4.-Ths home steaders Of Paradise Valley have had their troubles during the present week. Reports of 1amage to their little homes. stock and chickens have been brougSt lh f'Jln time to time. During the last part of the week they were caught in a terrible sand storm and when a day or so later the clouds loOsened and a food water fell that reached across the desert and into Arizona. breaking the ba-ks Of the canal at Indian Pend.
 One of the uarrnwcst cal es from GeatB in a sand storm is related ty i. N. FitzhuEh. s l'oiher of the architect. Thornton Fitzhugh He has a homestead in Paradise valley. some seven or eight miles north of the Ar.zona.
 1t was last Sunday. a little after i Fitzhugh noticed here and there the usual little cyclonie dust storms spin ming across the desert They were larger than usual and were followed by a series of square walls of dirt and dust that moved majestically over the plains. He looked OF the latter with suspicion but. al though there were several of them. advancing across the desert at once
 like regiments of an invading army they passed to one side or the other of his cabin. They all came out of the northwest. sweeping .down to the southeast. They descended from the valley to the north of Cam elback. at times striking against the foothills. swirling and then flop ping again on 10 the fiat desert.
 The wind was blowing a gale. and Fitzhugh~ for a while sat in front of his house. watching the spectacle of other like gigantic malformed jack rabbits across the desert. Ther he noticed one tremendously larger than any of the others. It was in
