BROWN OF HARVARD
TO Be SEEN IN FARGO

A feature of the repeated production
of the school comedy, Brown of Har-
ward, by the seniors of the Moorhead
high school, at the Grand theatre, Far
go next Thursday night, will be the
scenery which the management says
will be the most elaborate ever used in
an amateur production.
Great care has been taken by the
several alumni of the school who are
doing the property work that every
detail should be true to life, and with
the varied assortment used by the
Grand stock company at their disposal
they hope to present an eVen more Ella
borate stage setting than was seen
when a cast of professionals led by
Henry Woodruff appeared here in the
play several years ago.
At that time Brown Of Harvard was
at the height of Its success and was
being played in almost every state.
Since the 1t has been somewhat dis
possessed by newer comedies, but the
seniors, encouraged by the very favor
able reception given when they showed
at the normal school auditorium, are
hoping for a complete success in their
Thursday evening performance.

Chicago, June 1.-Wheat traders are

for a few days an unsettled feeling is
expected. With May out of the way

pect there will be a demand from the

for 1000 cars of corn here Monday, but
