When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section Of North America outside
New England. yet It must now be ac-
knowledged to the credit OF the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities Of stone Of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about s3.500.0o0 and the industry is
growing. 1t may be Of comparative
interest to know that New Englands
output is about 100000 worth Of
stone annually.

A Kansas sunflower.

A most delightful story that is bub-
bling over with humor and brimming
full of good sense, is Will H. Locke's
beautiful domestic comedy, "a Kansas
Sunflower". It is laden with the fra
grance Of the early Kansas prairie and
tinted with the glorious coloring of that
emblem of constancy. the sunflower.
Staged with scenery that pictures first
q typical Kansas farm, with its field Of
waving grain, bordered with its sun
flowers around the fence. Peopled with
characters that are lovable and natural.
Favored with the romance Of intrigue
and plot that does not hinge or depend
upon murder or the depicting of violent
crime to make it plausible. There is
much to laugh about, little to cry
about and great deal to think about
without taxing the patience of the
audience. The play is new, crisp and
worth seeing. The Locke's company
is the only one that plays it. Don't
miss it. Opera house three nights,
commencing tonight.

A GAIN OF OVER SIG, 600, ,O00
In Value Of North Dakota's Barley
Crop IN Present Year Over 1910.

VXVV IA 340b0UI 4004 Vv04 4U4Vs,
The following appears in last weeks
Fargo Blade:
'.The barley crop of North Dakota
of 1911 is something to marvel at and
is an eye-opener to those who have not
taken the trouble to compare the crop
and prices of 1910 with those of 1911.
The crop Of barley raised in this
state in 1910 was, in round numbers,
three million bushels. The crop was
sold for an average of eighty cents per
bushel, which amounted to two million
four hundred thousand dollars.
The crop of barley for 1911, accord
ing to government figures and latest
estimates, will be nineteen million
bushels. and is bringing the producers a
dollar per bushel (much of it more than
that) which amounts to nineteen mil
lion dollars - net gain over last year,
on this one cereal. Of sixteen million
six hundred thousand dollars.
Is there anything the matter with
North Dakota? Apparently not.

most serious problem last year, it
looks as if Flanders "2O'' is going to
be our chief problem this year, be-
cause this car is now the most popular
car in America and its wonderful per-
formance in road contests and hill
climbing is increasing its popularity
daily. -
Mr.. Tuthill was enthusiastic in his
description of Detroit. which is the
world g greatest automobile center as
well as one of the most beautiful cities
in America. We devoted several hours
to driving about the several parks and
boulevards of Detroit, and our trip to
Mr.. Flanders home and back was over
thirty.two miles of road, part Of
which ran over the beautiful Bloomfield
Hills. Few places in America have
more charms than this. And, what
with the sightseeing and charming
hospitality of Mr.. Flanders and his de-
lightful little wife to say nothing of
the trip there and back on the luxurious
special train, I felt more like million
aire who had been on pleasant vacation
than one who had been on business
