ROMANCE OF
THE REAPER
Will Be Presented at the Marion
Opera House. Monday,
April IA.
DO YOU KNOW


That there are over six mill
ion farms in the United States
That the. United States covers
only about one-sixteenth of the
land area of the globe?
Yet this one-sixteenth of the
land produces more than three
fourths of all the worlds corn,
more than half of the cotton.
one-fourth the oats, and one
fifth the wheat.
These and a lot of other inter-
estirg things are made plain in
1.-THE Romance of the Reaper, "
which is to be given at Opera
House, April IA, 1913.
MAN BEHIND MACHINE
In presenting THE Romance
Of the Reaper, Fred w. Reick
not only is the man behind the
machine, but he is the man be-
hind the voice. That is, he op.
crates the moving picture ma
chine, and at the same time de-
livers the lecture. And it is
easy to imagine that he is kept
pretty busy.
After watching him through
an evenings entertainment. a
farmer put this question to Mr..
Reick: What do you do when
you have nothing to do?"
Talk in my Sleep" replied
Mr.. Reick.
When Mr.. Reick arrives in
town he has to unpack and set
up the machine. Then during
the entertainment he talks all
the time, changes a slide about
every quarter Of a minute and
runs off 1000 feet of motion pic
lures. And after the entertain
ment he takes down and packs
up the machine. And along
midnight he goes to bed---some
nights he does.

Birthday Contribution

Something unique in the way
of church contributions was tax.
en- at the Methodist church Sun
day morning. A birthday
basket" was passed among the
congregation, each contributor
putting in the basket a penny
for each of his or her birth days.
Quite a good sum was collected
in this way, the largest single
contribution being from Mrs.
Elizabeth Douglass, who is 81
years old and who, therefore,
added 81 cents to the basket.

CYCLONE GETTING

Twister in Elizabethtown, Illinois,
Does Considerable Damage
Tuesday Morning.

Just before five o'clock Tues
day morning Elizabethtown was
visited by what appeared to be a
cyclonic wind, The storm had
been raging all night, but the
wind blew straight and harmless,
till just about day break when
perhaps shorter space than a
minute it took on tortuous pro-
portions and wreckage was blown
in every direction.
Very few premises escaped
damage. Wiley Lavender's store,
Mrs. Gullett's dwelling and a
few barns were partially unroof-
ed; one end was blown out Of a
warehouse for Ledbetter Milling
Co., and the Elm Wood" Brick
of Mrs. Stacey was blown down,
the porch of Mrs. Anderson's
hotel was torn loose and blown
over the house and across the
street.
Torrents of rain followed, let
ting water in on dry goods and
household furniture adding dam
age to the ruin left by wind. -
