Il f1z J ~. !

A few years ago anxious fathers,
mothers, friends and relatives shivered
in their seats at the Grand as their
sons, daughters and college chums
went through their parts in the an
nual Washburn play. Expecting any
minute to see them break down and
watching and listening for every ex-
pression from the audience, the play
was duty to them-it was doubtful
pleasure. But it is different now.
Since the Washburn college dramatic
present standard the plays given by
the club are as well acted and as well
Staged as the average play seen in the
GFand.
Last night was no exception. The
dramatic club gave the Topeka and
cpllege audiences just what they were
expecting-a good, clean, interesting
show. But if "The Girl With the Green
Eyes" written by Clyde Fitch, had
not been presented-it would have
made no difference. 1t isn't the play
that attracts Topeka audiences to
Washburn productions-it is the treat
OF seeing on the stage naturally pretty
college girls and college men in their
every day spirit. Paint, powder and
silk stockings go very well for maga-
zine stage beauties, but when Topeka
theater goerS want to see real sure
campus, they attend the Washburn
Dramatic club plays.
The play last night was a good one.
The dramatic club has never tried any
thing quite so full of feeling and pas
sion. 1t is a task for college men and
girls to get right up before their
friends and faculty and opera glasses
and carry on love scenes mingled with
hugs and kisses and "sich-" And there
was plenty of that last night Many
an enVious college rah-r3h boy whose
~case" starred in the play sat in his
anxious seat watching the fortunate
members of the cast throwing their
arms around her and Wanting
sir, planting-genuin kisses on her
lips. The play was marred by few
ill-mannered students who gave way
70 mirth at inopportune times.
Topeka newspaper readers have
been seeing a picture OF Rebecca
Welty in the daily editions for the last
week Even her picture showed that
she wasn't a dry goods store window
lnodel-it looked good enough for the
price of the tickets. Last night they
saw Miss WeIty in action. And every
one on leaving the theater agreed that
Miss Rebecca is as talented as she is
pretty and attractive. She was easily
the star of the cast. In every act, in
every scene and in every feature she
drew the attention of the audience.
she acted as naturally as if she was
IN the sorority house playing bridge.
PLAYING opposite Miss Welty was Lee
Johnson, a tall good looking chap,
who read his lines like James X.
Hackett. His part as a newly wed
who Is saddened by other troubles, is
no easy task for an amateur.

Is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald
ness is a scalp disease. The trouble
with the greasy salves and lotions, the
so-called dandruff and scalp cures you
have tried so far is that they don't do
anything but temporarily relieve the
itching and cake the dandruff so it
doesn't fall until it's dried out again.
Nothing can cure-really cure such
troubles but a real scalp medicine that
will kill the germs causing dandruff

MISPLACED coMMlsERATIoN

- = ~ & I + X 4
AT a recent meeting of the A1ne,i-
can Association Of Scientists, held III
Minneapolis, there was great deal
Eof pessimistic talk and discussion in
reference to the disagreeable and dis
Icouraging features of farm life. A
New Yorker read paper to prove
that farm land values were unduly in
fiated, and that this country could not
have prosperity until farm lands
could he purchased more cheaply.
This sort of talk, coming from a part
Of the country where the greatest
crop consists of abandoned farms. ard
where said abandoned farms (due to
soil robbery can now be purchased
in many cases at less than the cost of
the buildings and fences upon them,
need not seriously concern farmers in
a region where land values for the
past five or ten wears have been
steadily increasing, without any arti-
ilSial IOs cause SuCu III
crease. Minnesota has not been
doomed at all, and nearly twothirds
Of it's tillable land is yet unoccupied
Yet Government statistics show
that Minnesota farm land has increas-
ed in value eighty-two per cent in the
past ten years, exclusive of the value
OF the buildings and other improve
ments. This refers to the land alone.
The value, including the buildings has
increased Lightweight per cent.
This is a direct and official answer
to the pessimistic theory of the man
who is entirely out of touch with the
land situation. = Northwestern Agri-
