COLLECTION OF CORN. N

Ono Of Finest Attractions Viii Be the
Corn Exhibit at the State Fair.
One Of vast number Of features at
the Louisiana State Fair, which be-
gins Oct 81 and runs six days, win be
the corn exhibit. The terrible drouth
Of May and June crippled the crop, but
many farmers made corn in Louisiana
just the same. and they are planning
to show their best specimens at the
Fair.
Over 1000 square feet Of space win
be used for making this display. This
space has been reserved ii the agri-
cultural building, which was erected
last year and used for the first time
at the Fair last fall. II more room Ii
needed the management will arrange
to furnish 1t, because corn is one Of
the leading crops in the state now and
every possible attention will be given
It at the Louisiana Fair.
A feature within a feature, 80 to
speak. will be the exhibit by the Boys
Corn clubs. Last year this branch Of
the corn exhibit was particularly in
teresting. Practically every person
who attended the Fair entered the aR-
ricultural building to take look ut
the specimens exhibited by the boys.
After having the look the visitors tar
ried. some of them spending days
there examining the various ears on
display. The collection was wonder

WOMAN'S CLUB WILL

NEXT TUESDAY WILL BE A DAY
OF EMULATION
Public is Cordially Invited to Wit

The Woman's club of Phoenix, on
the occasion of its next regular
meeting, Tuesday afternoon, March
IA. will lay the cornerstone of it's
club building TO be erected on the
northeast corner of First avenue and
Bennitt Lane. This will probably be
the day of greatest rejoicing for the
club women, in the whole history of
the organization. 1t is something
that began a number of years ago
almost as a hopeless dream, but has
been cherished fondly and worked
toward with perseverance and indus
try, until realization is now at hand.
The event will be regarded as

that end the club members will as

ing where the ceremonies of laying
the cornerstone will take place. The
public is cordially invited to attend
the laying of the cornerstone which
will occur as nearly as can be sched-
uled. at 2:30 o'clock. Not merely the
members of the club but all men and
women who feel the slightest inter
est in the club and its work, or who
| take civic pride in its growth and
prosperity, are invited to be present.
The program will begin with an in
vocation by Rev. Henry Martyr

NO HIGH COST OF LIVING THEN.

our ability tn eat, if one may Judge
from the old records, ancient cook
books, and such bits of literature as
deal with the subject, is slowly dying
out. a half glass of milk and a piece
of bread is supposed by some persons
to be an adequate meal for a man Of
today.
AS against this. it is interesting to
set down what Gervais Markham. in
1875. sets forth as "a human may
keep in his family for the entertain
ment Of his true and worthy friends"
First warning the master of the
feast that he must consult the season
of the year, since summer affords
what winter wants. and vice versa.
he goes on to say: 1T is good for
him who intends To- feast to set down
the number of his full dishes. that is,
dishes of meat that are of substance.
and not empty or for show: and Of
these, sixteen is good proportion for
one course unto one mess CmeaD. as

STAGED AGAIN.
THE Girl From Rector's" Soon "a
Tickle Phoenix.

The Girl from Rectors." which
will he presented at the Elks theater
Friday evening of next week, March
18TH is one of those charming plays
which carry the audience up To the
high fence of propriety and give
them slight peep, just transient
glimpse. through a peep hole To the
other side, but the daring theme OF
the production is carried off in a
strong and artistic manner, and the
slight risque tendency of the witty
lines is merely of that character
which sends seat holder packing
with the idea that he has seen some
thing worth while and worth remem-
bering.
1t is not often that a light comedy
of the character of The Girl from
Rector's" gets on the stage again
after having been taken off To give
way To- other more modern produc-
tions. and those who saw the play
i'm New York several years ago when
it had it's phenomenal run there said
what they thought would be last
farewell to the clever comedy when
they were informed that il had been
taken off the boards. But with the
more or less sterile season which i'm
mediatCly followed. when few plays
Of real merit were written or pro
duced. demand for the standard
comedies of the previous year was
developed. and with certain knowl-
edge of the success which would at
tend revival of Paul Potter's
brccziest farce, the play was restaged
and sent out again with. if such a
thing may be said, better cast
than sustained it at the time of its
first appearance.
Criticisms of The Girl from Rec

criticism, the acclaim or censurc
which is meted out to the author and
to the production. but its interest is
