Nora Bayes as Head|iner Is
Real Hit of Week at Vaude-
vile Theater.

n HE problem of where one shall
spend Sunday afternoon, now
that the weather Is becoming too
cool for out-of-door comfort. has
been pleasantly solved by the manage
ment of the B. F. Keith Theater, where
excellent entertainment, in no wise cal
culated to offend the seeker after clean
and quiet amusement. is offered twice a
day. in the afternoon at 3. and in the
evening at Sis o'clock.
This weeks Sunday bill promises to
be even better than the two that have
preceded 1t, for the reason that nearly
all Of the performers who have been
participating In the very excellent bill
Of the week are being held over for the
Sunday entertainments. / might add
that this weeks offering Is one that has
pleased everybody.
And speaking of this weeks bill, I
sometimes wonder who it is that selects
headliners for vaudeville bills Shall We
be compelled to seek him in that mys-
terious assemblage of persons who
name apartment houses, sleeping cars,
the men who concoct the names for
new thirst -quenching beverages. and
those who have the honor of christen-
ing the novel breakfast foods?
All of which is anent the current bill
at keith's. In which one finds that Miss
Nora Bayes and playIet entitled
Youth" are featured

state horticultural Association
Meets at Gettysburg Sept. 1O-11
Adams County Association Will
Take Visitors Through Orchards.
One of the events of the year
among fruit growers of Pennsylva-
MIA will be a Summer meeting of the
State Horticultural Association at
Gettysburg, September 10 and IL,
with the Fruit Growers Association
of Adams county as hosts.
The afternoon and evening of the
10th will be devoted to a short pro-
gram. DR.. ]. P. Stewart and Prof.
F. N. Fagan of State College will
take up problems of fruit growing.
Both of these men have had wide
opportunity to study the methods
employed by the best growers in
many states.
Mr.. R. G. Phillips, OF Rochester,
N. Y, will explain the new apple
package and grade law, passed
year ago by the national government
and just now going into effect.
Every grower of apples should be
familiar with the provisions of this
law and Mr.. Phillips will be glad
to make clear any parts that are in
doubt.
Mr.. U. G. Border, of Baltimore,
has devoted much study in the past
two years to the questions of in
creasing the consumption of apples
by conducting an extensive advertis-
ing campaign. He will explain just
how the work is to be carried out
and how it will apply to the growers
as well as to the consumers of ap-
pies.
A trip by automobile among the
famous Adams county orchards is
planned for the 18th. Adams Coun-
ty has fine crop of apples this year
and the sightseeing trip promises
to be most interesting. Growers and
others who are interested in the de-
velopment of the apple industry are
offering the use of their machines
for the trip and it is hoped that con-
veyances can be secured in sufficient
numbers to take care of the crowd.
The secretary, Chester ]. Tyson, of
Flora Dale, Pa, should be notified by
all persons desiring to take the trip
so that ample provisions can be
made.
1t is expected that the attendance
at this meeting will be large. Adams
county is known far and wide as one
of the most important fruit growing
sections of the East, to which is add
ed the attractions of the world IA

shoes in the other and ran after him.
Not for Uncle Jeremy.
The young nincompoop was half
way up the hill when Uncle Jeremy
Beeman overlook him. And then he
turned out not to be the nincompoop
who had walked off with Uncle
Jeremy's shoes, but an entirely diff
ferent young nincompoop whom
Uncle Jeremy never had seen before.
Uncle Jeremy Beeman made up
his mind then, he said, that his
shoes were gone for good and all.
He tried again to put on the shoes
the young ninnyhammer had left
him, but found he couldn't even
get his feet in them.
The sox the young fiy-up-the-
creek had left with the shoes were
the bright pink ones Uncle
Jeremy had observed the previous
evening.
He decided that he would go bare
foot. There might be precedent for
going barefoot, he said, but none for
walking up the street in a pair of
bright pink socks.
AIS Well That -.
Station policemen suggested that
! pink socks were better than no sox
at all, and that Uncle Jeremy would
! do we'll to wear them until he could
| get others. But Uncle Jeremy said
he'd be burned if he would wear
pink sox either in Smithville, Ind,
or in Cleveland, o.
When Uncle Jeremy Beeman
| got to Public Square he made up
his mind there was no sense squan-
dering his money on a new pair of
shoes when more than likely there
would be an old pair he could wear
at Mrs. Josie PEBBLES.
All the others at the reunion were
surprised to see Uncle Jeremy COM
ing barefooted up the street, carry
ing the shoes in his hand.
Uncle Jeremy was telling them
all about the young popinjay and
ninnyhammer and nincompoop who
had no more sense than to walk off
in the wrong pair of shoes, when a

HonesdaIe Car Conventionality
Thrown to the Winds Carries
Shoes in His Lap and Balks at
Pink Socks.
Uncle Jeremy Beeman, prominent
horse doctor and real estate dealer
of Smithville, Ind, rode barefoot
with his shoes in his lap when he
boarded a Broadway car at the Pub
lie square in Cleveland, Ohio, We'd
nesday to attend the Beeman family
reunion held at the home of his cous-
in, Mrs. Josie PEBBLES, nee Beeman,
at Newburg Heights.
1t wasn't because his shoes hurt
him that he rode barfoot with the
shoes in his lap. He couldn't get
them on. In fact, as he explained,
the shoes he carried in his lap were
not his own shoes at all, but those
of a young man whom Uncle Jenny
Beeman could describe only as a
ninnyhammer, popinjoy, a coXcomb
and a nincompoop.
This ninyhammer wore pink socks,
smoked cigarettes in the smoking
compartment of the Pullman, and
occupied the berth below Uncle
Jeremy's on the trip to Cleveland,
Mistake, Somewhere.
Both had put their shoes on the
floor to be polished. When Uncle
Jeremy awoke in Cleveland the
berth beneath him was empty and
his shoes were gone. In their place
were the shoes which the young min
compoop had worn.
Uncle Jeremy Beeman recog-
nized at once that his earlier judg-
ment of the young ninnyhammer had
been too lenient. Any ordinary
ninnyhammer, he said, could not
have mistaken his own for the shoes
of Uncle Jeremy.
Uncle Jeremy looked out of the
window and saw young man who
looked like the nincompoop who took
his shoes, going through the station
gate.
He grabbed his suit case in one
