in excess of the normal, especially in
the west central and northwestern
counties where creeks We're out of their

Probably not more than one-fourth

is much ground yet to be plowed. E'x-
cept for delaying planting and blowing,
the rains have been generally beneficial.
All small grain and grass crops are IN
excellent condition. Orchard and small

not a bad company. On the other hand
it is quite good company. Every one
in the cast last night at the Colonial
Theatre did well. and the company is
far above the average popular pric @
stock. or repertoire, company.
The only thing bad about it last
night was the bad manners of the audi
ence. In the FIRST place they came in
late, many Of them. and disturbed
those already seated,
The late corners. and the noise they
made. caused at least half Of the lines
said in the Grst act to be lost on the
audience. Then they laughed (the
audience did when there was nothing

women would get into a giggIe. and act
like l6-year old school girls. This I'M
timely. unseemly laughter was kept up
boy various rows of men aud women, 10

Bad theatre manners among ans
