The following is fair sample of
letters we receive from our friends
living in other states;
"Lipan, Tex, Jan. "a, 1911.

"Under The Harvest Moon"

The forthcoming production of
"Under the Harvest Moon" prom
ises to be one of the real treats of
the season. 1t contains all the ele-
ments that 90 to make the success
full play today without those objec-
tlonable features so often found and
against which intelligent theatre
goers rebel. In "Under the Har-
vest Moon" we have a four act rur-
al comedy drama of the modern
school. 1t is clean bright full Of
comedy and pathos and thorough
ly wholesome play and while Gun
der the Harvest Moon" has many
quaint lines and comedy situations.
there are many scenes of genuine
dramatic intensity, for there is
plenty of heart interest throughout
the four acts. Two of the acts es-
pecially appeal TO the audience,
the old Stebbins farm near Haskins-
Vile, Name, overlooking the Hud-
son, is very realistic picture. The
setting in the third act is beautiful.
It shows the Haskinsville church
on Christmas Eve and a realistic
snow storm is produced. The char,
acters of the play are all natural
and not over drawn, in fact there Is
no need of it, for the reason that
New England in which most OF the
scenes are laid offered the opportu-
pitv to the playwright for character
studies which can be found In no
other place. 1t Is a most complete
production scenically, every effect
to the smallest detail being carried
by the company,
This production comes to the
opera house Friday, February 3.

In Memory

At the home of W. r. Bemis,
near Maynard, Mrs. Kate r. At
kinson passed from the trials of
earth to her heavenly home, Jan.
3rd 1911. She had been a great
sufferer. A few days before her
death, she knew the end was near.
She repeated scripture after scrip
ture, also 23rd psalm-praising God
for his goodness in giving her loved
ones and friends. Even in the
agonies of death the dying are
made to give Him praise.
At death we depart from our
loved ones on earth and go to them
in Heaven. We depart from the
valley Of tears and go to the mount
of Joy to that Savior who has prom
ised to conduct all the faithful
through the sacred trance of death
into scenes of paradise and ever
tasting delight. God help us and
may we all be brought to that
"beautiful gate" where Aunt Kate,
with all the loved ones, will be
waiting and watching for us.
Her Neice,

TO TIE FRONT IN
SCIENTIFIC FARMING
People are Fast Realizing the
Greatness of Grand Old
Arkansas

The writer of this article is pref
ty thoroughly familiar with the ag-
ricultural possibilities of all the
states south of Mason and DiXon's
line, and many of them north OF
that line, and he does not hesitate
to saw that Arkansas soils respond
more quickly and lavishly to little
brain work than any soils he has
ever seen in any of the states. Right
now he can count half dozen differ
ent plats of land owned by different
farmers where the corn has jumped
from fifteen to sixty bushels in
two years by giving the soil
"square deal" But why is so
much said about these two years?
simply this and it may surprise
the reader to know tit is only
in the last two years that any sys
tematic attempt has been made to
improve the old methods of farm
ing. The United States department
OF agriculture b9gla work in the
state in limited way IN 1909. In
every county where this demonstra-
tion of work Of the department has
been pushed, the results have been
most encouraging. Men have doub
led, IN some instances have treb-
eled, their corn yields, while cot
ton itself has been greatly helped.
But a wave of eager interest III bet
ter methods of a griculture is sweep
ing over the entire state, D1m)n.
stration farms, county fairs, farm

pei of scientific farming, all this is
having its effect, and when we have
had time enough to properly ge
