MONTANA EXCELS
FAMED ILLINOIS

Archie Ginther, who is spending
the winter in Springfield, Illinois.
writes an interesting letter compar-
ing the opportunities the farmer i'll
Montana has with those Of the III
inois agriculturist. This is what he
says in the Valierian:
"Since returning to Illinois l
have been over two of the best
counties in the state, and in review
ing the situation of the farmers here,
find that Montana's attractions as
a practical and profitable region are
far superior to Illinois. The yields
here this season were: Wheat
to 20 bushels per acre, oats 20 to
Is bushels per acre and corn 40
bushels per acre with about half
the corn damaged by adverse
weather conditions during the ma
turing season and selling at so cents
per bushel. This land is selling at
5000 per acre and renting at 81 cash.
However, most of the renters are
going broke, there being more power
ty in evidence here than l have ever
seen in Montana. Comparing these
conditions with those in Montana
where the land is selling ut $50 to $40
per acre and where the country bears
every evidence Of prosperity, there is
no question in my mind as to which
brings in a greater percentage Of pro-
tit to the farmer. The soil in Mon
tana is just as good As it is in Illinois
and we can skin them to death on
wheat, oats and potatoes

The play is entitled "A Box of Monkeys" The cast is composed solely of Juniors with the exception of the leading part, taken by Clarence Knox, a, talented Sen for. There are five characters in the play.
 It is a delightful little comedy with mixture of plots and counter plots. The play centers on tho con- fIsions of the !. ". affairs of Ed Ward Ralston, :. promising young A"erican. and lis partner, ChAlac.:: Oglethorps, son of 'an English lord, who is half "Tn of the Sierra gu.d mine Af:cr many entanglements and trchh'es the two secure their wives, Miss Sierra Bengaline aud Lady Guinvere Landpoore.

CrOXtOn With Victor Herbert.

There are only three or foHr great concert basSos in all America. There are many tenors and still more bari tones, but the deep, resonant basso profundo is a rare 5ice indeed. At the very torAnost ring among the basos stands Frank CroXton, known to the concert goeys through tho Uni ted States and Canada. He is the youngest of them all. and his voice has the fresh resonant quality which begins to fade as the years roll by.
 Born in "Old Kentucky Frank CroXton, though now one of the fore most singers of New York City, is a Southerner to the back bone. He has had a wide experience having sung in opera as well as in concert and oratolio. One of the gems of the Herbert concert to be given here en April 26 will be the singing of this eminent basso.
