Local Firm Distributes Nearly
$4,000 to Stevens County
Farmers ]. Edwards Drew

Nearly four thousand dollars were
paid to farmers of Stevens county by
the Stevens County Produce Co. in
this city within the space Of three
days last week. About thirty thousand
pounds of poultry was received and

and fast freight trains to get them to
their destination in order that many
homes he made happy for Christmas
and New Years.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of last week were special poultry days
with the produce company. Quota
tions were sent out to 1887 custom
ers in all sections of the county. The
responses were liberal and farmers
came to town over a distance of six
teen miles. John F. Edwards broke
the record for the largest number of
live birds brought. He had 875
pounds and received a check for
S104. .37. A. H. Jones captured the
record for dressed poultry when he
brought 613 pounds and received a
check for $93. 80. The killing and
dressing of the poultry was quite a
task but the work ws skiIlfully done
and Mr.. Jones has the distinction of
having brought the neatest and
cleanest birds to the market. In
addition to his task he weighed each
bird on small scale and carried
the total weight with him to town.
At the company's Offices the birds
were weighed together and Mr.. Jones
was surprised to receive one pound
more that his scales at home had in.

his weighing stunt.
All the poultry received during
these three days were of exceptiona
fine quality, and none we're diversified.

The wet spring had something to do
with this, according to the poultry
raisers. The quality of the birds
being received this year is a good
deal better than any received in the
last four years say the boys at the
produce company. Each year has
shown a marked improvement The
tendency seems to be in favor of the
best breeds of poultry, and more care
is being taken in poultry raising in
Stevens county.
Just now another car of poultry is
being gathered for the Duluth mar.
kets. This car will probably go out
this week. Fairmont and Campbell
poultry will be included in this ship.
ment. Nj. E. Chambers, of the pro-
duce company, was there Thursday and
Friday and was successful in securing
some fine stock.
The Stevens County Produce Co. is
not an old institution in this city but
it Is doing large business and the
volume is steadily growing. 1t is an
enterprise that means much to the
farmers and to the city of Morris.

Repertory Theater Has
About Seen It's Best Day
New Run Crook Plays

TEW YORK, Oct. si-Winthrop
N Ames confided to me today his
regret at the passing Of the
repertory theater, which, he said, is
dead in America and dying in England
and in Germany also.
The repertory theater IS now too
expensive to operate successfully"
said the Little theater manager. The
stock company was devised for a Pc
Rod when theatrical attractions and
theaters were comparatively few IN
number
when there were only two or three
theaters in city there was chance
for the repertory theaters because the
public demanded frequent changes Of
bills at the playhouses and the stock
company could supply it. Now the
public gets its change Of bill in an
other way, with more theaters and
more travelling companies, so the real
reason for the existence Of the stock
company has disappeared"
Il do not believe there are any new
styles in plays" Mr.. Ames went on in
reply to a question. "A manager gets

certain kind OF play has made a HIT
