placed an order for one the first of
March this year. This machine ar
rived, I took it on my farm and put
two experienced men on the machine |
to which was hitched eight ordinary |
farm horses.
The weather had been rainy and |
very bad for harvesting, the grain
which l was cutting was on dry land |
and would make about 20 bushels

siderable wild mustard which was
perfectly green while we were har-
resting, but this little machine handled
t in first class shape and has given
ne no trouble whatever.
After l had been operating the ma

.When We Were Twenty -One.v

1t was an able production of a
rarely charming play with which the
Betty Barrows players last night en-
tertained the theatergoers of Moscow,
or rather a few of them, for in spite
of the splendid bill the audience was
undeservedly small.
when We Were TwentyOne" is a
story of rare heart interest, inter-
woven with spritely comedy, and gave
Betty Barrows splendid opportunity
to prove herself a most charming
commedienne. Loring Kelly as Dick"
Carew had a splendid part, thoroughly
we'll played, and one most thoroughly
suited to his dignity and serious work.
Miss Driscoll as Mrs Ericsson" and
Morney Athey as 1.-THE Imp" were well
cast. The stage settings were inviting
and adequate, and the ladies were
charmingly gowned for the perform
ance.
