Returns From Southern Trim.

~ r - -g-r
!, Chas. Palm returned Monday from
an extensive trip through the south
ern states and old Mexico. He was
one OF party of three, who made
the trip, and reports very enjoy
able time. E. E. Lobeck, former
prohibition candidate for governor
OF Minnesota. and Congressman Nc
Gamma of North Dakota were the
other members of the party and they
passed about six months viewing
points of interest in the south. The
Panama canal was visited and con-
siderable time was passed in old
Mexico. Mr.. Palm states that the
newspaper accounts of conditions in
Mexico are exaggerated and distorted
narratives. He stated, however.
that conditions were such that it
would be folly to invest in real estate
down there, owing to the chaotic
condition of government. He has
several photographs taken at various
points of interest during the trip
and one of them shows a gigantic
oak tree, which is located in the CEN
ter OF street in Texas city, the
limbs of which extend from one side
OF the street to the other. Other
photos were taken at the Panama
canal and some in Mexico.

enough to attend it's presentation.
1t depicts the evolution that is now
going on in modern farm life and an
element of clever comedy is intro
duced into the play by "a Swedish
man of all work in company with
Swedish maid. The cast of char

students at the state university and
they act their parts in manner
that would be creditable to profess

in Princeton and all who attended
speak in high praise Of the produc-
