"Oh. Say" a farce in three acts
from the French of Keroul and Barre.
presented in this country as musical
entertainment, will be at the Belasco
next week. Jerome d. Kern was en-
gagged by the Messrs. Shubert to write
the music. 1t is said that nothing has
been taken from the original farcical
skeleton; but much has been added to 1t
with the Introduction Of the chorus and
musical numbers. he cast includes Wal
ter Jones as Jules Portal, a character
which will afford him many opportunities
for his drollery. Miss Alice Yorke has
the part Of Sidonie, French actress.
Bert Clark will play Marcel, Sidonie's
lover. and Mabel Hamilton will have the
part of Suzette, Marcels bride. The
adaptation was made by Sydney Blow
and Douglas Hoare.

BLEASE MAKES CHOICE
OF SEAT IN U. S. SENATE
Governor Of South Carolina Declares
He Will Be Member
in 1915.

Gov. Cole Blease OF South Carolina,
candidate for the seat In the Senate now
held by Senator Ellison Smith. is In WASH
ington to select the particular piece Of
mahogany, or whatever kind Of wood
senatorial seats are made of, on which
to rest his person after March 4. 1915.
He is that sure Of election, he says.
Senator Smith likes the, seat he has and
will be contented to occupy it for six
more years after 1915. But Gov. Blease
says he is to be the next senator from
South Carolina. and his friends say that
he usually gets what he wants In South
Carolina.

Experience at White House.

At the White House and other places
he is not always so successful. Witness
the appointment Of William e. Gonzales
OF South Carolina to be minister to Cuba.
The senator-to-be didn't like that at all.
However, Gov. Blease is here, and he
says he will come back for q six-year
stay in 1915. He was formerly student
at Georgetown University. so he knows
washington pretty well. He has been
quoted as having approved of horse
racing. honest" poker and cock fighting.
but his friends see nothing remarkable in
that.

If there is any one feature that

their concerted numbers. AS a rule,

terrain the people. This company has
caught the spirit of the times and re-
spends with telling effect to this rea-
sonable demand.
It should not be assumed, how
ever, that the Crescent Concert Com
pany is incapable of doing good solo
work, or that no individual numbers
are rendered. Each appears one or
more times as soloist, but there is
such versatility that their ensemble
work is made especially strong. With
the brilliant piano playing by Miss
Blackburn, the vialin solos played
tharmingly by Miss Maddox, the novel
whistling solos by Miss Stire, the de-
lightful and entertaining readings by
Miss Moon, the vocal trios, the sketch
es by the company, and other features,

For some time the Northern Paclflc
Railway has been engaged in conduct
ing agricultural demonstration farms
in North Dakota and Montana, both
for the benefit of the various farming
communities where the farms are TO-
Gated and for its own purposes OF IN
v%estigation and Improvement.
In Montana these experiments have
been in charge of officials of the Mon
tana Agricultural College and the y.
S. Experiment Station and have had
most beneficial results. In North Da-
kota these farms have been superln-
tended and developed by Prof. Thomas
! Shaw, the well known agricultural
authority. An addition to the agrlcul-
tural staff for 1918 has been made.
| Mr.. r. F. Murray will give special at
tention to the demonstration work n
| Prof. Shaw and he will work in earnest
! cooperation. The object OF these
farms is to determine the best condl-
lions under which crops OF all xmas
can be grown b y means OF the social
ed dryfarming methods. h IN
cludes soil preparation and cultlVa-
ton, crop rotation, the determination
of the varieties of grains and .vege-
tables best adapted to particular SOILS
and localities, etc. Prof. Shaw a
lust concluded his studies of the re-
suits of the demonstration farms Tor
1912. These results have been sucn
that the number OF farms the North
ern Pacific will operate in 1913 under
the direction of Prof. Shaw and Mr..
Murray will be doubled. They will be
located in the country between the
Missouri River and the Montana
boundary line in North Dakota.
The farms consist of six or more
acres each, and they have been handl.
ed il. a thoroughly practical as well
as scientific monner by resident farm
ers under Prof. Shaw's supervision.
The conclusions of Prof Shaw re-
garding the various crops. briefly sum
married., are as follows:
Winter Rye.
This crop will produce large yields
when sown on corn land in late Aug
ust, whether amid standing or cut
stalks. When drilled in grain stubble
at the same time, it grows well, put
does not yield so heavily. 1t is or
great assistance in cleaning the land
and is one of the safest and surest
grain crops that can be grown IN
North Dakota. The yield on corn
ground was 26 2-3 bushels an acre, and
on stubble II bushels.
Winter Wheat.
Grows we'll when sown during the
latter part of August on ground where
the corn stalks ore still standing, but
there is a great risk in sowing it in
corn stubble or even on summer fall
low where unprotected. Pasturing de-
stroys it. Yields 40 bushels an acre
on corr stalk land.
Corn Fodder.
One of the most important crops in
North Dakota. Assists greatly in

Oh, yes; of course there are others

Congressman Townsend has made
inquiries in his characteristic go-ahead
fashion, and it is within the possibil-
tiles that his promised bill will mater
ialize early in the coming extraord-
mary session. At the same time it is
interesting to note that he and many
of his equally Industrious colleagues
have ascertained that there are hund-
reds of public buildings projects that
cannot be finished within three or
more years, and mank more that can
not be begun for several years.
One Of the results of the determined
work of the New Jersey Congressman
is that, for the purpose of Fastening
the work. the various projects have
been divided into five groups, each
to be disposed of in its regular turn,
unless particular reasons are given
for taking any one out of its order.
