'The Right Of Way" Wednesday Ev.
ening, Sept. 81.

"The Right of Way" is a powerful,
interest-stimulating drama, introduc-
ing rapid movement and acute situa-
tions, amid succession of pictur-
esque scenic effects. It is the story
of the degeneration Of man through
drink, and his regeneration through a
life spent in the service of others,
and, particularly, in the radiating glo-
ry of a pure woman's unselfish love,
that dispels the gloom that envelopes
a noble mans soul and saves him
from himself.
Interest is principally centered in
two strangely contrasting figures:
Charley Steele, once brilliant law
yer, and Joe Portugais, man of ma
ture, in it's most uncouth aspect. In
the earlier scenes Of this strong, pull
sating play, the heartless cynicism of
the jaded man of the world, Charley
Steele, almost revolts one, just as
much as one finds much Joy in the
/ IL
by the change that comes after the
accident that temporarily deprives
him of his memory. The awakening of
his love for the country maid, Rosalie,
instead of his wife, whom he has
found a frozen fact in his world, is ex-
quisite in its simplicity, its sincerity
and it's truth, and affords one Of the
most pathetically sweet tales told on
the stage.
/ The other chief character, Joe Por.
tugais, has, earlier in his life killed a
rival, has been tried and acquitted
through the legal skill Of Charley
Steele, but deep down beneath the
surface beats a great heart loyal.
steadfast and unselfish. There is an
intensely interesting love story run
ming through the play, which involves
the girl Rosalie, Charley Steele and
his wife.

An epidemic of murder seems to
pervade the state and thoughtful men
ascribe the adjustment of capital
punishment by the late legislature as
the cause. When the fear of death
is removed, the hardened criminal
will take his chances. No sentiment
can prevent him from killing. The
next legislature will very likely re.
store capital punishment.

The Marshall County Fair is again
thing of the past In many respects
it was better than ever before. On
account of the weather, however, the
attendance was not what could have
been wished. The citizens of Warren
and immediate vicinity took great in
terest in the exhibition; but visitors
from outside parts of the county were
very few. The fair is county insti-
tuition, and is not as many seem to
think, Warren enterprize only. Ev-
cry citizen of Marshall county should
deem it his duty as we'll as his privi-
lege to do whatever possible to fur
ther the interests of his home county
Among the exhibits at the fair, the
grains seemed to attract the greatest
attention. And there were some
really fine samples displayed. The
vegetables too, were exceptionally
fine this year. Fruits of all kinds
except preserves were to be found on
ly in small quantities. The stock ex
hibit was rather small. Next year
let us hope for better attendance SO
as to encourage the fair management
It is rather discouraging to work
hard, and then not have the crowds
that there should be. Let's boost fol
next years fair now.

ending with August 31st.
Meat and dairy products also show
a marked increase in value of exports
in the fiscal year 1911, when compared
with the Immediately preceding year
being for the II months of last year;
and for the single month of May, 15ts
million dollars, against 9 million for
the corresponding month of last year
This increase is due in nearly all cases
to larger quantities, the prices being
in most cases lower than last year
For example the average export price
OF bacon in the month of May, 1911, is
1873 cents per pound; against 1853
cents per pound in May of last year;
hams, lis cents per pound, against
14.6 cents in May year ago; lard,
9.2 cents per pound, against 127 cents
in tie corresponding month last year;
butter, 20.7 cents per pound, against
25.5 cents in May a year ago; and
cheese, 11.5 cents per pound, against
1855 cents in May last year.
Other articles showing an increase
in value OF exports in the fiscal year
I1911 over that of the corresponding
Iperiod of the preceding fiscal year are
fruits, % million dollars, against 17%
million a year ago; corn. 80 million.

exports when compared with the cor
responding period of last year. though
but 2115 million dollars In value,
against 47A million in the correspond
ing months of 1910.
Europe is, Of course, the chief pur-
chaser of these exports of farm prod
ucts Most of the cotton goes to Eu-
rope, comparatively small quantities.
however, going to Canada and Japan,
and Europe is also the chief customer
! for wheat, cotton seed OIL oil cake,
live cattle, and tobacco. OF meat and
dairy products. the South and Cen
trail American countries, Mexico, and
the West Indian Islands take consid-
cradle quantities. though more than
half of the meats go to Europe.

Exports of farm products will ag-

the year ending June 30th. Figures
for IL of the IL months of the fiscal
year 1911 are now available, and show
exports of cotton 574 million dollars,
foodstuffs 354 million dollars. and to-
gacco S5 million, a total for the IL
months ending with May of 1853 mil

Ludl Tic sum ouOCu lOA thN hAoANh VI
June will bring the total exports OF
farm products during the fiscal year
1911 above the billion dollar line.
Cotton as above indicated, is by far
the largest single item, 574 million
dollars worth being exported in the II
months ending with May, indicating
that the total for the full fiscal year
will approximate 900 million, against
450 million in the fiscal year 1910, and
4S1 million in the former high record
year, 1907. This very large increase
in the value of cotton exports in the
fiscal year 1911 over that of any
earlier year is due chiefly to the higt
prices, the quantity of cotton export
ed in 1911 being materially less thar
In 1909 or 1907, while the value will
exceed by more than 100 million dol
lars that of the years in which the
quantity was greater than in 1911
The average export price of domestic
cotton in May. 1911 was 1871 cents pc
pound, and for the months ending
with May, lab cents per pound
against 14.2 cents in the cotton year
1870; 12 cents in 1904; ia cents IL
