The classicism Of Greece, a remin-
iscence of the middle ages, and the
practicality-for want OF better
word-of today are combined with
out the slightest hint of anachron-
ism in Miss Gene Carr, the charming
Mary Norton of George NJ. Cohan's
"Scyen Keys to Baldpate," which is
to be seen at the Grand Opera House
here on Friday evening, November
9th. That seems a rather large or

lvictory upon the knight who proved
himself most valorous in the tourna-

THE ORIGIN OF ALL VIRTUES.

Goldsmith wrote: Justice may be
defined, that virtue which impels US
to give every person what is his due.
In this extensive sense Of the word.
It ~comprehends the practice Of every
virtue which reason prescribes, or So
ciety should expect Our duty to our
maker. to each other. and to ourselves,
are fully answered II we give them
what we owe them. Thus justice,
properly speaking. is the only virtue;
and all the others have their origin in
it." In all countries and in all times
the study OF and devotion to Justice
is a virtue to be embraced and prac-
ticed. Mans inhumanity to man is
the outcome OF injustice. and as sung
by Burns, il has made countless thou
sands mourn" The losses mankind
sustain may be borne with philoso-
phical patience unless they r the
fruits Of manifest injustice. II they
come from injustice they rankle in
the bosom so long as there is a beat
ing heart. Justice is q thing too sa-
cred to be used as an implement in
the hands Of a professional agitator.
for the purpose Of arraying men
against men. but It is SO used. and
much OF the bitterness and unproft'
able strife in the world, especially in
the country in which we live. may
be traced to those who hypocritically
profess to be the apostles Of justice,

IDLE FARM ACRES
ARE %UNPROFITABLE
Man Must Have Clean Sweep
Across Fields If He Is After
the Greatest Profit.
(By r. B. RUsHING.)

In travelling over the country l see
fields that are claimed to be worth
from $50 to 500 per, acre. with a pile
Of stones lying here and there and sew
eral scrawny, half-dead trees standing
about over this land and perhaps with
a swale running across.
Have you any such on your farm
that are not yielding a profit, perhaps
scarcely paying taxes?
These acres are loafing, and what Is
worse, not only loaf1ng, but costing
the farmer hard earned money every
time he sends a man into the fields to
work. Time wasted in turning around
Instructions is very great and time is
money these days.
With the modern machinery that
we want to use and to cultivate and
harvest our produce, a man must have
! clean sweep across the land II he
s after the greatest profit.
Often a few dollars would remove
.hese worthless piles Of stones, and
hose old, half-dead trees which are
ubt III Tue way. lHcu tuc idhu Wouiu
be available for use.
BY putting in an underdrain a
worthless swale may be transformed
INTO a fertile field. Stones and trees
are all right in their places. but the
best place for the stones is in max
ing a dam at the lower end of some
low place to help catch the wash, and
the best place for the trees is in a
clump by themselves or very near the
fence and not scattered all over an
otherwise profitable field.
It is a very common thing to see
large strips Of land that are not In
shape to be cultivated; loafng in
weeds and brush between fields, sim
ply because the farmer has not the
ambition to fence them in.
II you have such land that cannot
be put under cultivation with profit 1t
should be fenced and turned into
pasture, or IL you desire to grow
trees, and of course you should grow
some, set out a useful variety, but be
sure and not allow the land to loaf
away your profit by growing absolute
Iy worthless weeds and brush.
It Ia a shame to have land under
