here on Friday, April II. at the
Grand Opera House, is an American
and Is proud of the fact. That he

not weakened his devotion to his
home. This modern bearer of the
Banner Excelsior" was born at
MARIETTA, Ohio. ani lived there with
his parents until lie was five years
of age They tell the story that the
first evidence he showed of talent
for the violin came when he was
taken upon steamboat excursion on
the Ohio River at the age of three.
On board the boat was an or
chestra which fascinated the child.
1t was with difficulty that he was
persuaded to,leave the side of the
first vlolinist for even moment
during the entire day. He did so
only after his parents Ind promised
that he too should have violin as
soon as the boat landed.
An overruling providence probably
had some hand in shaping MacAIil-

anyone's and every ones patronage.
The bill is opened by Made and
Billie Client who offer one of the
neatest singing and talking and
dancing teams that has been seen
here in a, long while. Their patter
is original. their voices good, and
the whirlwind dancing finish earned
the team several cncores. The
Tuxedo Trio is three boys who have
remarkably fine singing voices,
which they know how to use TO ad-
vantage. Their trio and solo num-
bers took the audience by storm and
they closed amidst tumultrous ap.
plausc, the audience seemingly not
being able 10 get enough OF them.
Klein and Colanger have a comedy
pantominc and Juggling act which
discloscs several novel features.
For fifteen minutes their audience is
amused and mystitled by the many
tricks performed. Their finish which
shows two children ground through
q sausage machine is very funny and
the audience rewarded the team with
generous applause Two feature
pictures conclude a high class show
which will be continued until We'd

MARCH FIRES IN
THE APpALACH1ANs.


During March twenty-five forest
fires burned on or near the land in
the southern Appalachians which the
government is securing under the
Weeks law for the establishment of
national forests. Seven of these fires
reported by the governments forest
officers covered more than 10 acres,
but II were less than one-quarter OF
an acre in size.
The most common cause was rail.
road sparks. On what are known MS
the Cherokee. Mt. Mitchell, Unaka.
and White Top areas the railroaus
cross lands which the government Is
acquiring. so that there is considera.
Bile risk, even though the rights of
way ale patrolled during very dry
seasons. The state laws, however. are
so lax in regard to the maintenance
OF spark arresters and keeping the
railroad rights of way clear of in
flcmmable material that, the fores.
crS estimate, more than half of the
total number of fires occurring dur
ing March were probably set by rail-
road locomotives.
Six out of the IA acres in which
the government is purchasing lands
reported fires during March. Ex-
cept for the White Top area, which is
on the border line between Virginia
and Tennessee. all the areas from
which fires were reported are in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten

mesa GRAIN AnO
L1 lola PROVES VALUE

That our Gunnison hay land, when
plowed up, is capable of yielding much
higher than wild land, either bottom or
mesa, would seem to be the lesson
gathered from the experience of Fred
Rouviere this season. Having AZ acres
on his lola ranch of timothy and alfalfa
sod where the alfalfa had winter-killed.
he plowed it up to re-seed and this sum
mer worked If in oats. The yield was
20l0 bushels, an average of Is to the
acre. These are the Lincoln oats, a
well known variety which the Rouvieres
have been raising for twelve years, and
which seems to be well adapted to our
climate, as they get perfectly ripe in
the short season
Asked whether the alfalfa soil did not
make the straw grow too rank at the
expense of grain. Mr.. Rouviere thought
not in this case, for the heaviest straw
threshed the best grain, and some of it
was head high. 1t is the general ex-
perience however. that when alfalfa
fields are plewed, the ground is so rich
that potatoes, or crops of that character
are raised for one or two years, since
then one gets the full benefit of the de-
cayed vegetation and later, grain can
be grown with just rs good yield and
less bslk u straw to lodge and handle.
