THE cosuRN PLAYERS

Criticising the performance Of "The

the Coburn Players, pthe editor of the
Nebraska State Journal says: at has
been said. not without some show OF
reason. that Shakespearean plays sink
deeper into the mind when read than
when seen on the stage. This depends
entirely upon the actors. and their
ability to read the lines intelligently,
and to act with discretion. Since, then,
the Coburn Players come fully up 10
this measure, 1t goes without saying
that the lovers OF Shakespearean
drama, notably the students OF both
sexes, got as much, II not more, pleas.

In another part OF the same article
the writer says, Viewing the perform

SIDEWALK SKETCHES
THE DRESS SUIT
BY Il. I. RANN.

The dress suit Is one OF the three
most useless things in the world. The
other two are the North and South
poles. Owing to.a cruel social custom
which says what a man shall wear and
when he shall wear 1t, the closets OF
this country are congested with the
mute remains OF full dress suits which
haven't had enough exercise to keep
!them from bagging at.the knees. There
is nothing more dispiriting TO a pan OF
correct tastes than TO have to groove
himself into dress suit which was
coined before he lost his waist line
and gives him very parboiled and
apoplectic look. 1t Is astonishing how
fast sllk-lined dress suit will shrink
when 1t Is not disturbed by anybody
for two or three years. We have IA
perfectly good dress suit which Is Just
ut the age when 1t ought to be most
vigorous. made by a tailor WHO was
SO pleased with the fit that he threw
In a shoe-horn and now, after the pas
sage OF few brief aeons. nobody who
Is unwilling to be melted down and
poured in could possibly get into 1t.
After a dress suit has been used on
two or three festal occasions like

and unceremonlous manner. covering
him with confusion and safety pins.
Very few men look radiantly happy in
a dress suit, as they are kept busy
parting the coat tails with one hand
and subduing an Iinsurgent shirt with
the other. The dress suit is always ac-
companled by pair of white ked
gloves which in some instances re-.
sembles the wrapper on a homeless

THE GREAT SCHEME OF De

bres Valley, richer than the re-
deemed swamp lands OF Holland, will
sustain its man and 1t is because
people, consciously or unconsciously
recognize the wealth that is to flow
from its ultimate redemption. that
the raw lands are advancing In price
every day.
But il is absolutely essential that
the raw lands should be redeeuId.
Men and money will be required for
years 10 accomplish these results,
and because irrigation is a somewhat
expensive method Of development.
money must precede men.
The Little Vineyards Company has
no greater aspiration than 10 be in
strumenial in this scheme OF deyel-
opment. We hope, by putting the
water upon the land. By building the
bitches. constructing the wells. erect
ing the pumping plants, and building
roads, 10 make a little spot Just a
mile east OF Deming, so attractive,
SO promising in It possibilities and
so fruitful! in its realiEations. that
the men will come, and, by careful
cultivation, and the application Of
such other virtues as always charac-
terize successful people in any CON-
munity, grow rich on their ten-acre
plots The successes attained in Cal
ifornia, in oregon. in Idaho, in Utah.
In Washington, In Colorado, in Tex
as, and in every part Of the country
where irrigation 1" possible and
where the climate and soil favor this
line OF development, are almost as
founding. Men do grow rich on ten
acre plots. II is probably true that
there is more substantial wealth per
capita in those sections OF Europe
where intensive farming Is practiced
than in any other part OF the world;
and the same methods, coupled with
the same frugality in living that
characterize those people will build
up here in the Mimbres Valley the
same substantial wealth. that you
find in the highest type OF agricul-
tIral communities that are to be
found anywhere on earth.
We are not talking about The Lit
tie Vineyards Company alone. This

scheme OF development which II al

DOUBLE-HEADER NOTES.

Two games, morning and afternoon, are
on the boards for tomorrow. Grin will
be forced to start either Paul Musser or
Joe Engle in the morning, while Walter
johnson is carded to pitch the big game
in the afternoon.
After the Red sox had rolled up such
q commanding lead in the first game
Grii shook UP his infield just for luck
playing Knight at second and Ray Nor
gan at third.
The fact that the Nationals are hitting
the ball hard and timely helps a whole
lot, for our pitchers cannot continue this
losing streak, and as soon as Groom,
Walker, Hughes, and Cashion show a
little airtight stuff, the team will start
winning.
Clarence Walkers hitting has been the
big feature Of the last few days. Red
also covered lot Of ground in the out
field, and there is nothing the matter
with his throwing arm. He nailed
Lewis at the plate in the first inning Of
the final game completing a double play
which saved run.
washington's errors also played a
prominent part in the FIRST victory for
Boston. Ground hit balls were handled
poorly by both the outfeId and the men
guarding the inner works. A perfect
helding game would have cut the Red
Sox score down to at the most a dozen
tallies.
1t seemed strange that Boston hit
Groom so hard in the second game, for
the lanky finger apparently had every.
thing.
Walter johnson will pitch the after
noon game Tomorrow and viii be
given a, vacation until Monday. He win
go to his home in Coffeyville for short
visit and Join the Nationals in 81. Louis.
