common 10 the hop-growing industry,
which in one aspect amount to an

OF 1O% cents per pound, and in the
other aspect was a chattel mortgage

the plaintiff might make to the grow

to Major Archie Butt, who went
down with the Titanic. Archie
Butts home was in that city:
If Archie could have selected
his time to die" said the President.
he would have taken the one God
gave him. Self-sacrifce had become
a part of his nature. He loved the
South and the people of the South.
and he loved his church"
Never did l know how much he
was TO me until he was dead" con-
tinued the President. 1T has al
ways seemed to me that Archie
never married because he loved his
mother so. The greatest sorrow of
his life was when sho left him."

Return of the Coburn Players 70

Prices, $l.0O single performance.

The Coburn Players have at
tracted widespread attention at Co
lumbia, Harvard, Yale. Princeton,
Bryn Mawr and many other colleges
where alfrssoo performances have
been of unusual interest. They ap.
pear under their auspices yearly
and the heads OF these institutions
are unanimous in praisinR the unus-
ually tine performances of this bano
OF woodland players. A most inter
esting feature Of the performances
is that they will be given with only
the sky for q roof and with a natura
background of forest with trees and
shrubs for the setting. The nigh,
performance will be lighted by pow
erful calciums which throw the
tree powered stage into fine relief
and the audience into obscurity, as
it should be. The music incidental
to the performance is not played By
instruments but sung by q chorus
Of mems voices. rendering the
quaint old songs of Shakespeare
day in an exquisitely entertaining
fashion. The company is a particu-
larly good one, composed as it is Of
mon and women who. besides being
thoroughly competent, experienced
actors and Shskespearean students,
bring their enthusiasm to bear n
their various parts.
In tho production of the plays
the greatest care has been exercised
to insure the absolute authentic ty
OF the costumes, songs and otter
details of the performance.

A church not a stone or brick of
which was standing at sunrise this
morning is being worshiped in to-

oils the building and overtiows into

1t had been announced by the
mem bers of Bethel Methodist
church that they would erect a
buAaipg in one day. the church TO
be known as FL Bethel. There were
those who doubted but when more
than two hundred workmen well

that the undertaking might DO ac-
complished.
1t is estimated that 5000 persons
visited the building during the day.
Motion picture machines played
upon the great crowds and upon the
building at every stage of its erect

NEW ORDER OF THINGS
IMPROVES KANSAS LIFE
A Remarkable Temperance Town In
Kansas

Every once in q while you will
read the statement that there is
more drinking and more lawlessness
in Kansas than in other States
where saloons flourish. The man
who makes that statement is either
repeating lie told by someone else
or is deliberate aud unuitigated
liar on his own account.
In the early 70's Newton was the
toughest town on the border. In a
single night Ii men were killed in n
saloon row. OF course. that was
perhaps the record so far as q sin
gle nights killing was concerned.
but in those days there was some
thing doing nearly every night and
Newton was famed as the toughest
OF the tough.
The old order passed. The Texas
cattle trail moved westward. No
longer was heard the sound Of rev.
eiry by night punctuated by revol-
YER shots and profanity. Then came
prohibition. Newton was among
the hrst towns OF considerable size
TO establish the rule of law and or
der, and that rule once established
has been maintained from then till
now.
Today Newton Is a flourishing lit.
tie city OF 5000 people. 1t is a great
railroad town, the aggregate month
ly pay OF railroad men living there
being somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF $40. 900. There are dwellsrs
in the etfete East. no doubt, who
suppose that railroad employees are
disposed TO be boisterous and unru-
ly. The railroad men of the city o.
Newton are among the very best
citizens.
Here is a town, as l have said, OF
5000 people with just one police
man, and he isn't busy. Since the
first of the year 1912 there have
been just three arrests in town.
Two of them were bootleggers aud
one was q person OF African descent
who INDUCED in the pastime OF
whipping his wife. One arrest per
month in town OF 5000 people,
what do you think OF that? One po-
liceman TO guard the peace by day
and one by night.-Fsrmers' Mail
