An Attractive Window

M. ]. Soukup, one of Decorahs up

reputation of dressing high class win
dows. Saturday he had a window
display, which attracted hundreds of
people. 1t advertised the famous Vic

actual hand painted reproduction of
the New Amsterdam theatre in New
York City. 1t was operated by an
electric motor, and showed six differ
ent scenes from six different light
operas, just as they are shown OH
the stage. Only five or six dealers
in Iowa are using the display, and
only in the larger cities at that But
Mr.. Soukup's store ranks with ary

when there is anything good in the
market he alwals has it Mr. Sou
kup has enjoyed big sale on Vic
trolas the past few years.

Once in two or three seasons are
we charmed by such a sprightly mu-
steal comedy as when Dreams
Come True which was presented
at the Salt Lake theater last night.
1t is not pretentious, but it contains
genuine wit AMI bewitching music
and dancing. AS the star there is
the clever Salt Lake boy, Joseph
Santley, who is the quintessence OF
grace in dancing, a talented singer
and most engaging actor. All of
which is rather formal language to
describe an evening of fun that is
not marred by single minute OF
ldullness.
The book and lyrics, which are
much above the average, are by Phil
lip Bartholomae and the music by
Silvio Helm. The magical song OF
the piece Is When Dreams Come
True" which is rendered as the cli-
max Of the first act by Joseph SAINT
ley. 1t is very sweet, tender AMI
true. Even after the curtain fell
there were insistent demands for its
repetition.
1t is a goodly company that Mr..
Santley has chosen for his support
and the critic feels indisposed TO
pick favorite and defers to the
opinion of the audience. Last night
the audience acclaimed Cathryn
Rowe Palmer, as grotesque Cousin
Matilda, who ambled in from the
COW pastures to we'd the young mil
lionaire To say that she is a
scream is merely whispering when
one should be shouting. Her versa
tility in doing droll stunts is amaz.
ing
All musical comedies should be
composed of about equal parts o.
dancing, singing and farce. When
Dreams Come True shows consid-
cradle partiality for dancing and the
audience approves. All the dances
and ensembles we're arranged by Mr..
Santley, who has produced some
captivating effects. Miss Ruth Ran
dali takes the palm as the most mar
velous dancer among the women,
while Mr.. Santley is easily first
Iamong the men.
The dainty acting of Miss Mignon
McGibeny as Beth, who is the dream
that comes true, is especially to be
commended. Edward Hume as Her
cules Strong, tie wonderful de-
tective, is the source of much of the
evenings merriment.
An enchanting feature was Sar-
lanoff who renders illimitable felici-
ties upon the violin and who can
make even tango tunes poetic.

REAL ESTATE MAN
WELCOMES THIS WAR

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 25.-Edwin T..
Ansley, prominent real estate man
who reached home from Europe yes
terday, declares that the greatest COM
mercial opportunity of the United
States since the war is found in the
situation growing out of the war.
"The war will cause a temporary de-
preston all over the world, but when
the smoke has cleared away America
will be in the most commanding COM
mercial position of her history" he
said. THE conflict has brought home
to Americans as nothing else could
have done the Importance of turning
out finished products of home raw ma
terials instead of shipping them to Eu-
rope to be finished and returned to US
at high prices"
Mr.. Ansley spoke especially of cot
ton, showing how cotton sold at ten
cents to European spinners comes
back at $1OO pound in finished goods
and now, because We depended so
largely on those foreign spinners, our
market for the raw material is cramp-
ed by the war.

Big PLANTATION
GROWING WHOLLY
GRAIN PRODUCTS
NOT A STALK OF COTTON
Planted Upon This Sumter
Plantation

Mr.. T. NJ. Lowrey is a prosperous
and successful Sumter county planter
to whom wars alarms causes less
worry and financial loss than any
other here. Mr.. Lowrey, although
operating a big plantation represent
ing an investment of $4,000 or $4,000
has not a single bale of cotton to sell
this fall, due to the rather remarka-
bic fact that he did not grow a bale
this year, nor will he grow one next
year.
Think of twelve hundred acre
Sumter county plantation, without a
single stalk of cotton produced upon
it. But that is exactly the condition
prevailing on the Lowrey plantation.
But there are other crops growing
fine crops of grain and hay, magni-
ficent oat crop already harvested, AMI
big meat crop" in the way of fat
tening hogs fully assured Mr.. Low
rey is not a cotton grower; he, used
to be, but seeing the fallacy of "all
cotton" he quit the cotton habit and
turned to more remunerative crops.
Planted Fields of Grain.
Early in the spring of this year Mr.
Lowrey with twenty-five mules and
improved labor-saving machinery
broke up his fields thoroughly, pulver-
izing the land-as fine as any in
Georgia-and began planting grain
crops exclusively. He put in a very
large acreage of oats of improved va
rieties. He also planted wheat, and a
bumper corn crop. In the meantime
other farmers were busily engaged
planting cotton, with some grain, but
not enough.
Mr.. Lowrey harvested his oats-a
magnificent yield of several thousand
bushels worth 81 to $1.5O as improved
seed oats. His other grain and
smaller crops turned out we'll, while
his corn cribs this fall will resemble
those of old Egypt when other folks
were in the market for corn.
When the acreage of oats were har-
vested Mr.. Lowrey at once planted the
same fields-hundreds of acres-in
peas for hay crop. Rains were prop
itious and Mr.. Lowrey will have to
build other barns if the monster hay
crop is ever housed. He will make

several thousand tons excellent pea
vine and native grass hay for which
there will be great demand, as the
western hay crop will be largely ship
ped to Europe while the war con-
tinues.
There is a demand for every pound
of produce raised by Mr. Lowrey and
at prices that will be far above ex-
pected figures.
Good Money In Grain Crops.
Mr.. Lowrey, who is one of the many
progressive South Carolina farmers
who came to Sumter few years ago
and are making veritable gardens of
their new possessions, is more con-
vinced than ever that something be-
sides cotton can be grown successfully
en- Sumter county farms. He has tried
it, and upon a very large scale, and
with the splendid success attending
his efforts this year he is going to
stick to grain crops.
Mr.. Lowrey, personally, is not los
ing sleep over what the government
may or moy not do towards financing
the cotton crop, for he has barns fill
ed with grain and hay to sell, and Il
more interested in the rapidly rising
prices of these needed commodities.
