Take Your Choice.
est. Louis Globe Democrat. )

Last year the conscience fund was
the lowest In many years. This is
either a good sign or a bad one, ac..
cording as It is interpreted by an OPP
timist or a pcssimist. 1t might BE-
construed to indicate that there Is
less stealing from the government
than formerly, which we all hope to
be true. On the other hand, the pes
s'mist might consider 1t an evidence
Of a decline In CONSCIENTIOUS scruples
against speculation.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1913-07-24

II Is an idle speculation how long t
might have taken for the world to
wake up to the magnitude of the dis
coveries; how long the development Of
the North and Its opening to the world
might have been delayed. Perhaps
there might have been no "Klondike
rush at all. in the proportions which
i assumed. and a picturesque story or
rather q series Of picturesque stories
might have been lost to the world
This much, at all events, is reason
ably certain: The phrase. "A Ton 1T
so'd." introduced Klcndike to the
'eading public Of the entire world \
within twenty-four hours after 1t was
coined.

STRAWBERRY LAND IS
 WORTH S4,5OO AN ACRE
RESULTS OF w. R. CRICHLOW PROVE IT GOOD INVESTMENT
 AT THAT PRICE,.

Forty-fve hundred dollars an acre is a pretty stiff price for ordinary farm land in Faulkner county, but w. R. Crichlow, who lives in the western part of the city, is able to prove by the figures that it would be a good in- vestment at that price, based on re- suits obtained by him with patch of strawberries this year.
 MT. Crlcnlow strawberry farm" is small one, it is true. By actual measurement the area is just AT by 98 feet, fraction less than one-tenth
 f an acre. From this tract he mark
 ted this year AZ crates of berries, for which he received $74.00 His picking and cultivation cost him nothing, but allowing the regular prices paid for such work, his total expense would have been S29.06, divided as follows: Crates and boxes, $S.40; picking 1,008 quarts at ? cents, S2O.16; cultivation, 50 cents. This left him a net profit of $44.94. Counting the patch as tenth of an acre, this would mean a net profit in round numbers of $450 an Iacre. Ten per cent interest is prof itable rate and S450 represents 10 per cent on S4,500-so there you are.
 MT. Crichlow says he has a plan of co-operation in strawberry culture in which he desires to interest the peo- pie of this vicinity. He desires those interested to meet him at the court house next Saturday, June 2, at 2 p. m., and believes he has something to say which will make it worth their while to attend.

SENIORS MAKE HIT
 WITH CLASS PLAY
THE AMERICAN CITIZEN"
s PRESENTED TO LARGE AND APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE BY
 NORMAL STUDENTS.
From Fridays Daily.

| From Fridays Daily. In one of the best amateur perform ances ever given here, the senior class of the State Normal School pleased a large and enthusiastic audience at the Grand theater last night. The play, l"The American Citizen" was a we'll known comedy in four acts and had a good climax. James Davis, who took the part of Carew, alias Cruger, was one of the leading stars of the even- ing, while Miss Minnie Warren, as Be- atrice Carew, also acquitted herself admirably. Others who starred dur ing the evening were Miss Leona Mad dox, Miss Lee Jones, Irving Greer and Burl Short. All the participants per formed their part we'll and the acting was unusually free and natural, while the enunciation was clear and could be heard we'll in all parts of the house. Good music was furnished by the Grand orchestra. The fine scenery and elegant costumes added much to the rendering of the play, which cer- tainly reflects great credit upon the senior class of the Normal, and was probably the best entertainment ever given by the school. The play was rendered under the direction of Miss Iris Hubbard, who deserves much praise and congratulation for the sue cess The proceeds will be used to buy class memorial for the school, which will be announced at later occasion. The cast was as follows:
 Beresford Cruger (afterwards Ca rew) James Davis.
