PLEASED THE CROWD

1.-THE Girl From U. S. A." which
held down the boards at the local
theatre last Friday night proved to
be one of the best shows that has
ever visited our little city. The
plot has to do with an American
girl who is captured by a regular
frey william" of Turk who sells
her to a Chinaman. The charming
heroine goes through all manner of
hairbreadth escapes and is finally
rescued by her lover in true melo-
dramatic form. Bessie Sheehan, in
the title roll, and Barrett Carmen
as the Johnny-on-the-spot newspa
per correspondent, were especially
strong in their parts. The action
of the piece was interspersed with
musical numbers of the popular va
riety. Mr.. Marion's song, Moon,
Moon, Moon" made distinct hit -
Pierce County Herald.
THE Girl From U. S. A." will
show at the Opera House in River
Falls next Tuesday evening, May q.

AT THE NORMAL

The baseball season will open
Saturday with game between the
Normal and Spring Valley high
school, on the Normal campus.
A program of rhetoricals were
given by members of the Senior
class yesterday. Miss Bertha
Crawford, with the subject, my
First School," gave stimulating
account of her teaching in coun-
try school in Dakota. Earl Thurs
tom commented upon the lite of
Thomas Edison as "A Man of the
Hour" Miss Ruth Warner sug-
gested that folk dances might pro-
ftably be introduced into school
life because they are kind Of or
ganized play. Several little pupils
from the grades illustrated Miss
Warmers talk by dancing two of
the prettiest of the folk dances in
most captivating manner. Claude
Reagan gave a remarkably interest
ing account of trip from Everett,
Washington, to ST. Paul. in which
he showed that besides having the
ability to observe, he had an In
sight into the beauties of scenery
as we'll as into the fitness of the
country for practical purposes.
Friday evening of this week the
Junior class will give a promenade
in the gymnasium in honor of the
Senior class.
Plans are being made for the
activities of the Senior class during
Commencement week. Committees
have been appointed to arrange for
a Class Day, and it appears from
what is heard in committee meet
ings that a more attractive program
is being made for this day than that
of last year. The class play, Mid
summer Nights Dream" which is
already being rehearsed under the
direction of Miss Schlosser, will, if
the weather permits, be played in
the open air on the Normal campus.
Contrary to time-worn custom in
this school, there will be no theses
delivered at the Commencement
exercises this year. The members
of the class have engaged Professor
Judd, a noted educator and speaker
of the University of Chicago, to de-
liver an address in place of the
reading of the theses. This change
in the character of the exercises is
in conformity with the change
that in the past few years has been
quite general in the country. There
will be Field Day in which stu
dents will contest in various feats
of strength and endurance, such as
were engaged in last year. Field
Day will be feature of Commence
ment week. These various activi-
ties, which are taken part in by the
Seniors will give them very busy
commencement week.

The Harry Scott Company will
present the new spectacular drama,
THE Girl From U. S. a." at
the Opera House in this city on
Tuesday evening, May 2. They
claim it as play up to the minute
in every detail, beautifully and
deliberately staged, and warranted
to wear from beginning to end.
While the production borders SEN
sationally near melo-drama, in its
highest form, the atmosphere of the
play is entirely different, being of
intense dramatic interest with a
merry whirl of comedy that keeps
the action of the performance lively
and snappy through three big viva
cious acts. Prices, Is, IS and SOC.

been employed and the county com

been Indifferent about the appear
ance. They have been unsightly,
untidy
The Enterprise is proud of the
fact that the Ben Hill Court House
is not in that class. We doubt if
there is a cleaner public building in
the state. The county commission
ers very naturally take great pride
in the splendid new county building,
and have been fortunate in the Sc
lection of a janitor who has energy
enough to take care of, not only the
interior of the building, but the
grounds around it. We appreciate

A Railroad Working For
Development Of Country.

Washington, D, c., March 49,
: Increased activity on part of the
Southern Railway Company in the
work of attracting settlers to the
South is indicated by the announce
ment that two additional travelling
immigration agents have been ap-
pointed in the Land and Industrial
Department. T. H. Jones, with
HEADQUARTERS at St. Louis, will travel
the Central West and J. B. Finster
will have headquarters at Washing
ton, D. C. These new appointees
are we'll equipped with experience
and trainining in immigration work
and their duties will be to solicit
desirable classes to locate in the
South.
With these additional agents in
the field, the work of the Southern
Railway for the upbuilding and de-
velopment of the South should be
even more effective than in the past.
For years the Southern Railway
Company has devoted its energies
and employed its means for devel-
opement of the territory it serves
as we'll as for the betterment and
expansion of it's lines and equipment.
Through its Land and Industrial
Department a carefully prepared
plan for the promotion Of immigra-
ton and industrial enterprises was
devised when the Company was
organized in 1894 and this has been
steadily followed. 1t has drawn the
attention of capital and enterprise
from all parts of United States and
from Europe to the South, its oppor-
tunities and resources and has thus
identified itself with the progress of
the South.
That the Company is convinced
of the efficacy of its past efforts and
the wisdom Of the expenditures thus
entaiIed is manifest in the announce
ment that this work is to be con-
tinued on a larger scale.
