Of "The Lion and the Mouse" is
best told by relating the folio "

during . performance at where
"The Third Degree was being pre-

Several elderly women, one
seemingly more deeply interested
than her companions, occupied a
box to the right OF the stage.

having caused the murder OF his
friend, Underwood, but whom the
audience known committed suicide,
was being .luizzed by the police.

Contrary to all criticisms on
The Third Degree "says one New
York paper, "Annie Jeffries, the
young wife, in the peculiar Klein
drama, does not battle alone for
her husbands life. Far be it from
q single handed combat on the
part OF Charles Klein's little char
acter, for at every performance
Miss Grace Lord, who PLAYS the
young wife, has from fifteen to
eighteen hundred staunch sup
pOrters, who sob, strain, struggle
and smile with her.

paper, $50 do her supporters, aft

over the faces Of the spectators.
One would think, to see the earn

the orchestra, that every man, wo-
man and child in the theatre was

CORN BENEFITED.
Recent Rains Help Farmers, Says
 Clay Sloan

Clay sloan.
 The recent rains broke Q drouth of several weeks duration All crops suffered to a more or less extent Corn especially suffered. The recent rains will enable most of our farms to produce at least a fair crop of corn. This is due to the fact that our best farmers prepared deep, well -pulverized seed bed in which moisture was stored for the long growing season. They then con servei this moisture. as well as they could conserve it, by frequent shall low cultiyations. The drouth em- phasized the value of tie dust mulch. This year farmers are farming bet ter than ever before. If this were not true our crops would have never
 withstood the drouth wislout seri- ous injury.
 Those who practice the best meth ods of farming, know that there is usually enough rain to enable one to produce a fair crop of corn. even in seasons of severe drouth But even fair crop cannot be produced un- less this rainfall is properly con- served ani utilized. The destruc- tion of weeds by cultivation is inn portant, but the great problem is how may the limited supply of soil moist : ure be best conserved.
 The long dry period has given our farmers an opportunity to get their corn crop free of grass and weeds. Frequent shallow cultivation will conserve the greatest possible amount of moisture. At the same time the crop will be kept perfectly clean.
 Do not be in a hurry to Hay by corn. Some people think that corn ought to have three cultiyations. IT these three cultiyations can be given in three weeks some think that they have performed their whole duty. Cul- tivate just as long as the corn is growing. Those farmers who laid by their corn early during the drouthy
 year two or three years ago, mad five to fifteen bushels of corn pc
