Cut-Over Lands Bring Low
Price.

In the disposition of cut-over
lands the Great Southern Lum.
Der Company of Bogalusa, La,
has the idea that on account of
the rough nature Of these lands
after the logging operations
have passed over them and the
difficulties to be overcome by the
men who must put those lands
under cultivation that they should
be placed in the hands of the
farmer at the lowest possible
cost.
In carrying out this idea this
company opened a large tract
colonization near Bogalusa, La,
last January and have already
sold 1000 acres in small tracts
to native fartoerS, as we'll as a
number of settlers from else
where.
On account of the quality of
these lands for dairying and
stock raising some special ef-
forts are being made by this
company to locate stuck anu
dairy farmers. Last week a
New Orleans dairyman purchas-
ed a tract OF 300 acres, on which
he will establish a model farm
and raise dairy cattle for sale,
as we'll as tc supply his da'ries
in New Orleans and Bogalusa.
A tract of land has also recent
" been sold to Mr.. O. P. Schex-
nayder of Luling, La, for a stock
farm. Improvements have al
ready been put on this property
costing over $500. A dipping
vat is in process of construction:
silos will be built, and the DOS
sibilities of this country as a
great stock raising and dalrying
district are being rapidly dem.
onstrated. In addition to the
colonization work in Louisiana
this company has recently sold
24.0O0 acres in southern Missis.
sippi, and this tract is being
rapidly settled by Northern
farmers.

Birthday Celebration.

Master Myford McDougall
was very manly and dignided as
he played the part of host to his
little birthday guests on Tues
day afternoon, as his sixth an
niversary was celebrated in the
McDougall nome on Tenth Ave.
All the neighborhood children
and Myford's entire grade at
school joined in the festive occa-
sion and their bright faces and
peals of merriment evidenced
the great joy afforded by the
celebration.
A peanut hunt was the chief
feature of the entertainment in
which little Jimmie Kerr won
the championship. This was
followed by a Donkey Party and
games of all kinds. A beautiful
birthday cake was then cut, each
little guest having share in this
honor, and cake and punch were
dispensed throughout the entire
afternoon. The little ones de-.
parted for their homes at five
o'clock, pronouncing Myfurd the
jolliest six year old host of the
season and expressing great ap-
probation of Mrs. L. W. Nc
Dougall their charming hostess.

PRINCIPLES, Not Men

Former Governor Edward Q. Stokes,
Republican candidate for governor, is
sued strong statement early this week
In reference to his plans for the cam
paign. Mr.. Stokes also had some
pointed remarks to make In reply to
the Fielder supporters, who are in
sinuating that he is in deal with the
Smith Nugent Democrats.
81 will make a dignified contest Of
issues and not of men" he says. THE
Republicans pledge the party nominees
to service. If elected shall be under
obligation TO the people alone, and
their interests only shall consider"
He then takes up the Fielder state
ment and denies emphatically, clear
ly and with forceful directness that
he has had any deal or suggestion
of a deal for votes with the Smith-Nu-
gent element of the Democratic party
in this or any other campaign and re-
pudiates the gang decisively. He says:

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHIIA.
THE Orpheum Players next week will
produce one of the greatest comedy
successes of the past years, and yet
play which has never been presented
in Philadelphia. This is "Our Wives, !"
a comedy by Frank Mandel and Helen
Kraft adopted from Niennese sources
1t was great success abroad and the
American production was made in New
York by Joseph NJ. Gates at Wallack' S
Theatre exactly one year ago. After it
was run there it was moved to the Fulton
Theatre in New York and then went to
Chicago where it finished the season,
playing thirteen weeks. Owing to some
disagreement between the star and the
manager the play was not sent entour
this season and was released for the
stock companies. 1t will come to Phila-
delphia therefore with a reputation of
being an absolutely unquestionable New
York and Chicago success, and will be a
veritable treat for theatre goers who like
novelties.
"Our Wives" is the story of four
young men who band together and form
an alliance against women. In three
amusing acts the play shows how each,
in turn, succumbs to the attractions of a
charming young woman. The two cen
trail characters are paste" and Wilson, .
the former being literary man, and
Wilson" being girl who wins his
affections. There is an amusing scene
when the three wives of the younger
men call on paste" for dinner. The
author shows what happens when men
try to make their wives be friends. The
three contrasting types of young women
do not harmonic and finally the party
breaks up in a row. In the last act
Wilson" and Paste complete theil
efforts together and just when it seems
as though they are to part forever, they
realize that they love each other.
In next weeks production Miss Cert
rude Dallas will appear as 'sWilson" anc
Mr.. Mitchell Harris will appear al

men will be played by Miss Julia Morton

The amusing part of the old servant vii

play will be handsomely staged undo
the direction of Harry Andrews.

Stokes. Mr.. Colby, in his speeches,
praises himself, compliments Mr.. Fielder,
and berates Mr.. Stokes. Their joint OBJ
iect, their unity Of purpose, is plainly to
get votes away from Mr.. Stokes. Now
everyone knows that Colby cannot posi-
bly, be elected Governor; he knows it
himself and admits it in private, al
though he talks differently in public,
therefore his only apparent object is to
help Fielder and, if possible, defeat
Stokes. There are many sincere Pro-
gressives in this county and many more
in the state, and these voters are gradual
ly but surely having their eyes opened.
They are ''anti-Democratic' and are be-
ginning to see that Mr.. Colby is acting
as the sideshow to the Democratic circus.
These voters certainly will not give Mr.
Colby their support when it is more and
more apparent that the only possible re-
suit may be the election of Fielder, the
Democratic candidate. These Progress
sives are realizing that the only way to
successfully and effectually vote "anti-
Democratic" is to vote for Edward C.
Stokes for Governor and they are going
to do it.
