"The Rosary"

Direct from its successful three
months run in Chicago, THE Ros-
any," a beautiful new play from the
pen of Edward f. Rose, and produc-
cd ~ the we'll known theatrical
managers, Alcsjrs, Gaskill and Mac
Witty, will be presented at the opera
house this evening.
One can see the effect of thought
upon the different individuals who
witness the performance. One char
acter is that of business man who
is happily married to wife who
loves him, but his thought is wrong.
He harbors fears, doubt, and unbe-
lief in the good that lies all around
him. He loses all-fortune, home,
wife-even his own self-respect.
How does it all end? Go and see

/ noticed a short time ago piece
in the Garden Grove Exlless, of the
wonderful egg production Of a flock
of l65 hens belonging to Mrs. w. D.
Smith.
The claim is that she gathered H.
912 eggs Cor 1925 dozen the
amount received for same, after de-
Quoting eggs for setting purposes
and family use, was $222.96.
If she had sold the entire amount
gathered they would have had to
brought 22.45 cents per dozen tn
have reached that amount
Last year t1912) we kept $50
brown Leghorn hens from which VIC
gathered 12,7OS eggs Cor 1909 doz-
en- and sold 96S dozen at an aver
age of 16A cents per dozen, amount
ing to $162.14.
Our neighbor from Garden Grove
e. much better market for her eggs
than Leon pays, or sold quite an
amount of them for setting purposes
at good round price.
For the year 1911 we had S5 hens
from which we gathered 1880 eggs
Cor 9O4 dozen and eggs) and sold
663 25 dozen at an average Of 1873
cents per dozen, amounting to
$685. Our hens averaged about
1928 eggs each, and at the average
price for which they were sold
would amout to $1.49 per hen,
For tho year 1912 our hens did
not do so we'll, the average was
about IS eggs per hen, and at the
price received would amount to
about $l.18 each.

The cotton question is assuming large proportions in Mesa at present, and on every side you can hear the question asked. How is your cotton 2'' Every man you meet is sure that he will have the largest yield of any of his neighbors and there is all sorts of bets and prophecies about the yield. Not since the canteIoupe crop first came to this section has there been as much interest in any one thing as there is at present in cotton. and Mesa certainly has got some fine cotton, but the planters should be careful and give it enough water during this hot weather, otherwise they will not make full crop.
