These figures show that the fair of
1911 yielded about $500 above expenses,
after allowing for the extra expense of
the new barn, and these figures are OBJ
tanned as follows: The balance a year
ago and the receipts from stock sold and
from the state make a total of $1203,
which were not receipts from the fair
itself. In the expense account is included
for repairs and improvements $1,000 more
than the average for the previous four
years and a balance of s133. making a
total of $1733 which was not expended for
the last fair. The difference between
these two totals is $3.50. in favor of the
exhibition of 1911. The admissions for
1911 were $61 less than for 1910.

Classy Vaudeville and Feature Films
 at Auditorium Today

Every show is not 'the best of the season." for the simple reason that tastes, differ, and what pleases one displeases another, and if the manage ment of the Auditorium can satisfy the greatest majority of the people it has accomplished as much as any theater has ever done. The bill today is one that experience has proven to be show that usually makes a hit. Del monico's Upside Down." is the title of a German comedy playlet presented by Teed and Lazell, and which is a bright satire on this famous cafe. The dialogue is extremely bright through out, and the situations are funny and yet within the bounds of common req son. MT. Lazell is a Dutch" comedian of great ability and his partner. Miss Teed is a handsome foil for the funny man. Special settings carried with this act.
 The only singing act on the bill is Arthur Harris, who is a clever charac- ter singing comedian, who not only can sing his songs, but who puts life into them by characteristic touches that make all the difference in the world.
 One style of act that is universally popular Is a musical act, and Adams and Terrell have not only a good mu- sical act. but they have a good comedy act at the same time. Two clever, harmonious comedians.
 The Auditorium photoplays are al- ways refreshing because they are diff ferent and exclusive with this house. The famous 101- Bison company offers one of its great two-reel western pro- auctions today, entitled A Frontier Child. You know the kind of films these people produce. Those two fun ny men, Fred Maco and Mack Sonnet formerly the Telegraph Detectives 'i will romp through two farce comedies famous star booked for Thanksgiv- ing. Watch for the name later.

AT THE DAVIS.

In the vaudeville and photo play bill presented this week, the Davis Is out to equal anything that it has yet offered and appeals to popular interest with varied choice of attractions. For an animal act, Captain Pickard and his trained seals are not beaten by anything appearing on the stage to- day, these intelligent creatures being marvelously susceptible of instruction and apparently delighting in their work. Baker and Byrne, the latter be- ing Jimmy, of the famous Byrne Bros, can be depended upon for their conn., edy. The Princess Suzanne is feature No. that will crowd the bill with good things. Thrilling, exciting h. dian drama is given in the photoplay, Heredity; the Pathe weekly will give you vivid glimpses of the worlds his- tory. Everyone enjoys comedy pie ture, rightly worked out, and that will be given in the films entitled Fixing a Flirt. Drama in another line will be told in the Selig reel called The Voice of Warning.

BREED THEATER.
"Jim's Partner" the American Pathe
 Drama for Today.

Everyone is on the qui vive to know when the Breeds special motion pie lures of all-local views will be shown, and to answer this question in gen. eral way, 1t Is safe to say that the date has not been definitely decided upon, but in all probability the first release will be made in about one week; due announcement, however, will be made in all local papers. Meanwhile, the bill for today is of the greatest import ance, as it includes as its special head liner the great American drama, by one of the greatest American pro- ducers, entitled Jim's Partner. Sure enough, a simple title, but it is su- perb story of the great and glorious west, and carries a plot that includes a scene where the eloping wife with her paramour are riding burros along the narrow mountain trail, when the animal carrying the wife makes mis- step, throwing the woman to the ra- vine below, proving the intervention of fate to save her from an end worse than death, and brought her husband to realize that he had been neglecting her for years, which was the cause of 1t all
 Arthur Johnson is seen in a delight ful comedy drama and two Biograph comedies supply the mirth.
