at when one stops to consider the abb
solute lack of melodramatic features,
and the presence of SO much clean
and wholesome dialogue and interest

The delightful love theme running
through the play are bright and en-
pertaining, and of as much interest to
the male as the female sex.
A company ~unequalled in strength

The FIv's Buzz In Music.

1t was Mendelssohn who first put
fairies into the orchestra, and that
composers incidental music to "a Mid
summer Nights Dream is surely the
happiest accompaniment TO Shake
speare's play. But there is more than
the revels of fairies in Memberships
work. There is the buzzing Of a fly
which one day in the summer of 1926
flew about Memberships head as he
lay on the grass with q friend in the
Schonhauser garden. Berlin, planning
the overture. As the fly buzzed by
Mendelssohn said "Hush!' and listened
intently for n time. Afterward. when
the overture was finished, the compos.
err pointed to the meditation OF the
cellos from r minor to It sharp minor
in the middle section and said, There;
that's the SclIonhauser fly" That over
turr has become one of the worlds
musical classics, and Mendelssohn was
a boy Of eighteen when he wrote it.

SUGAR FACTO-
R|Es FOR TEXAS

Austin, Texas, Feb. 22.-The Wis
consin Sugar Beet Company is making
arrangements to build three sugar beet
factories in Texas. Amarillo, Plain
view and this city are the locations
selected. Each plant will cost between
81, 100000 and 1 800, 900.
Representatives of the company
have recently been in the state look
ing over the field and find that the
irrigated lands will produce a sugar
beet that is almost perfect in quality.
1t is claimed the beet raised here is
far above the average quality of beets
raised in the Northern states.
This industry will give the farmers
a chance to diversity their crops, ac-
cording to modern methods and re-
ceive a larger income from their beet
acreage than any other crop they
could raise.

ANSWERED BY WOOD
Admits Poor Conditions in
1898, But Believes They
Are Improved.

While admitting the justice Of some Of
the criticisms made by Colonel Roose-
welt OF the organization Of the United
States Army In 1898. Major General
Wood. who was colonel of the regiment
In which Colonel Roosevelt was lieuten-
ant colonel, Is flrm In defense Of the
Improvement that has since been made.
There was In 1898 no general stan, as
It Is now constituted. The bureau sys-
tem.. according to General Wood. was
Lnquestionabiy bad. The officers were
out OF touch with the men and with ac-
tual conditions In the field.
There were no officers then In com
mand who were accustomed to handling
large groups OF men. General Wood ad-
niits this criticism, but says that every
effort IL now being made through the
establishment OF the brigade system Ia
not only qualify officers to handle large
bodies Of men. but TO place these troops
where they cnn be easily handled on
very snort notice.
A constant effort is being made to
make tho army more mobile. so that
the work Of getting men concentrated
