HOWE'S PICTURES.
Coming to the Colonial Theatre Feb. S.

Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival
which comes to the Colonial Theatre on
Monday, matinee and night Feb. 5, is
its own best advertisement. For every
one who sees it for the Grst time.
there are ten or more who attend next
time. 1t seems to satisfy the craving
for novel and wholesome enter tainment
as thoroughly as any attraction before
the public.
The legion of Howe tourists may
again gaze upon entirely new scenes,
ranging from the sublime to those of a
purely amusing nature Perhaps the
strangest journey of all is the trip to
the ''roof of the world" starting with
a ride on the Cog Wheel Railway of
Montreux. After reaching the top
platform, the audience is swung from
one Alpine peak to another via the
Wetterhorn Suspension cable. Then
three guides roped together for mutual
protection from the danger that turks
at every step, proceed on the last peril
ious stage to the summit. From this
altitude the audience gazes down on
the weird scene of a rolling sea of
clouds, followed by glorious sunset and
moOnrise views over the icy peaks.

FOR NEGLECTED CHILDREN.
Cared for bY WOmAn's Auxiliary Of
Society to Protect Them From
Cruelty and immortality.

The Wornen's Auxiliary to the
Maryland\ Society 20 Protect Chill
dren from Cruelty and immortality,
entertained its membership and
friends at the Emerson, Baltimore,
Monday evening.
About seventy-five invitations were
issued. The evening was a success,
and il is believed that many ladies
will eviuce an interest in the work of
the Auxiliary. A splendid musical
program was rendered and consisted
Of the following numbers: Vocal solo,
Miss Isabella McNasby, of Annapolis;
duet, Miss May Jones and Miss Anna
Pierson; piano solo, Mr.. Mortimer
Browning, Of the Peabody; vocal solo,
Miss Sauerland.
Prayer was offered by Rev. c. c.
Weir. of Lakeland Presbyterian
Church. and neat impromptu talk
was made by Mr.. c. Arthur Eby, a
well-known attorney of Baltimore. A
collation. followed.
The report of the auxiliary was as
follows: The Women's Auxiliary to
the Maryland S. p. c. c. was formed
auxiliary of ladies is expected to do
and can aecomplish-namely, to obtain
funds TO further the work of an or
ganization In May. 1911, our Auxil-
! larry was formed and we are happy to
report that it is a growing organiza-
| tional though il is not as large nu-
merically or as large financially as
we confidently believe it is destined
| TO become.
The women who started this move
| ment felt that they could direct their
energies in no worthier channel than
by assisting a society which in its ex-
istence of thirty-three years has in
our city and State rescued over 5000
| children from vice and immortality.
The relationship of the Auxiliary to
the Society is as the bud of promise
that appears upon the sturdy oak
the complement to its existence-not
merely a supplementary growth suct
| as is the ivy that twines gracefully
about its trunk. Owing to its short
period of existence, the Auxiliary has
no long list of worthy deeds to it:
credit, but it is glad to record that
here and there it has lent a helping
hand.
Ladies who are desirousko see ne
elected childhood helped and made
happier are solicited to join the Auxil
iary which meets at the Society
Home on the fourth Monday of eacl
month at 8 p. m. Ladies throughout
the counties who cannot take active
interest in the work will be very vel
| come.

A VERY TAME AFFAIR.
Is What Old Inhabitants Call Present
Session Of Legislature.

Failing to provide, on the whole. the
excitement which most people seem to
have expected, old timers here are al
ready beginning to call the present ses
sion of the General Assembly a very
tame affair. Some say II is the dullest
session they ever remember and want
to know when the houses propose
to get down to business. As a matter
of fact, though a number of minor
bills and several of considerable i'm
portance have come up for conisdera-
tion, the only real excitement of the
various meetings was furnished by the
economy fights in the Senate and House
and the attempt in the Senate upon the
part of the Lee supporters to increase
the membership of the Finance Com
mittee.

HE DISAGREES WITH ARMOUR
Missourian Declares Beef Can Be
Matured on Hundred Dollar Land.
PLENTY OF BEEF IN THE FUTURE
Hen Il. Hurst Declares That I'm Five
Years There VIII BE More Corn
fed stuff on the Market
Than Ever Before.

Ben B. Hurst, an extensive farmer and
cattle feeder of Westboro. Mo-, takes
issue with ]. ogden Armour on the state
ment that cheap beef cannot be raised
and matured on s1oo per acre land. say
ing:
while 50 and 81 per 100 be9f may NOT
be sold again In this country, cattle can
be raised and fattened just as cheaply as
n few years ago when the vas. range OF
the west was covered with cattle. or
course there will never pc the cheap
erassers' again. but in five years from
now there will be more cornfed stuff
than the country has ever seen, and wEiie
the choice cuts may be high, the rough
stuff will be much cheaper than at the
present time.
I'm the past cattle have been 'roughed
ant on the range and brought TO our
feeding lots to be finished off. In the su-
ture We will do the roughlnt; as %ell as
the finishing. We will save the profit OF
the range grower and the freiSat In from
the range, lessening our cost Of produc-
ing. and consequently giving the con-
sumner the benefit of the saving
.In the past the farmers have not peen
raising a large amount Of stock prefer
ring to buy feeders and fatten them ior
yoarket AS result the cattle on the
farms have been allowed to decrease In
numbers and consequently there is an
alarming shortage. Right now farmers
and breeders all over the central west
are getting back into cattle and as soon
"a the Young stuff reaches an age fit
for market there will be an abundance OF
beef.
.sThat cattle on 500 per acre land can
not be raised with profit Is too ridiculous
for consideration. In the sandhili and
range country of Nebraska and Wyoming
il takes twenty acres to pasture one ami
mal-ten acres for the summer and zen
for the winter range. On our missouri,
Iowa and eastern land we can easily
pasture one animal to the acre and with
the meadows into alfalfa and clover, two.
Thus, with the raising Of our own feeders
and the saving of freight, even with the
present high price Of corn, we can on our
400 and sl26 per acre land make money
selling first class beef at the prices OF
five years ago, but we don't expect TO
see cattle go down TO those figures, as
We believe we can keep them higher"
