"The Travelling Salesman Tonight.

The success of James Forbes latest
comedy, The Travelling Salesman"
which comes to the Colonial tonight,
was cyclonic in both New York and
Chicago, in each of which cities it
registered an exceptionally long run.
"The Travelling Salesman" like Mr..
Forbes earlier comedy, "The Chorus
Lady," is .ypically American. 1t de-
picts the life of commercial traveller
realistically and most humorously.
One of the strongest qualities of the
comedy is that the fun starts with the
nrst line, and the first act registers a
success all its own. There is not a
moment when the action or dialogue
drags, and as the old-time theatrical
advertisement read, there's laugh
in every line"
Good, clean-cut comedy and plenty
Of character types are combined in
"The Travelling Salesman" and the
play appeals to all classes of theater-
goers. The travelling salesman is a
tvpe familiar to everyone, and this
is the first play written that takes the
drummer as a central figure and pre-
sents him in a true light aiming
chiefly at a humorous exposition of his
characteristics, without burlesquing in
the least one of the most valuable aids

UNDERGROUND WATERS

OF KANSAS
In territory 200 by 80 miles
stretching across the western end of
Kansas thousands of derricks are be-
ing erected. Every one represents an
individual pumping plant that will
draw from the great underground lake
which lies in the sands beneath this
area water sufficient to irrigate farm
of from 40 to 100 acres.
The present year will witness the
building of 10000 of these derricks,
which will hold and guide the ma
chinery that bores wells down into the
great underflow that is believed to be
inexhaustible. When the great augers
reach the underground sea of water
which has existed beneath the surface
for ages, the derricks will be removed
and over each we'll will be installed
windmill These windmills, which
will pump the water to the surface, are
tall towers of wood, steel or iron, with
fans of almost every imaginable shape
and type made of wood or galvanized
iron.-New York Sun.
