The Hoy Rosary Dramatic Club"
will present the play named AN
Irish Eden" on next Monday even
ing, March the seventeenth, at Hays
opera house. The occasion being
the universally commemorated feast
of St. Patrick, which in recent years
has been exempted from the Lenten
Calendar, as the one day during
this Holy season that reasonable
amount of accustomed entertain
ment might be enjoyed.
This play tells a sublime and
inspiring story very similar to the
one worked out in the famous play
called the Rosary. AS a Lenten
sermon executed in theatrical form
it provides splendid material for
earnest reflection. It's production
calls forth much dramatic effort.
The eliminating incidents are work.
ed up into strong cIimaxes that
showed an exceptional and strong
display of talent. The humorous
parts ale of manifold and complex
nature. Sarcasm, dialect, and
solemnity are brought into action
under most amusing situations.
The following are the cast of
AN Irish Eden" Messrs Alexis
Hays, Oscar Pike, Thos. Pierceall.
Ed Spalding, Frank Little, Louis
Pike, Wilfred Mudd; Misses Louise
Hays, Maude Spalding, Bessie Mudd.
Myrtle Pierceall and Hattie Spaldine.

A farmer near Monroe City, who
came from Illinois several years
ago, is very enthusiastic over our
soil. He claims it is worth as much
as Illinois land, and says it would
take 5000 per acre to buy his farm.
Our soil, when properly handled. in
creases rapidly in value and we be-
| lieve that when successful tile drain
age is installed here, our soil will be
one of the most valuable in the
State. The U. S. soil survey report
says that our prairie soil, when in
good moisture condition, is one of
the best upland soils By success
fully thing this soil it will early
double in value With our land
selling from $50 to $40 per acre
for well improved farms, there is
left a wide margin of profit for the
investor who will properly tile the
land. Land buyers should be re-
minded of this.
