AT THE ILLINOIS.

Lovers of music and the opera en-
joyed three hours of entertainment at
the Illinois theatre last night when
the Boston English Opera company
presented Verdis beautiful produc-
ton, I'll Trovatore," or the wandering
minstrel. Joseph F. Sheehan, who has
g. voice and who is well known among
local playgoers, had the title role, the
troubad0uT.
The story of Verdi's opera is 100 well
known to talk of this phase. Mr.. Shee-
han as Manrico was pleasing. Possess
ed of a rich tenor voice, with volume
and expression, he rose 20 the climax
in each act with a fine flourish. Mr..
Sheehan has not the advantage of
stage presence although of fine man
ner in repose, but he more than makes
up for his apparent lack of gesture by
the richness and quality of his voice.
LeCnora, the part of the noble lady
of the court of Aragon, is sung by
AIirth Carmen with fine effect. Miss
Garments voice is powerful and sweet,
and even in the higher notes and those
parts in pianissimo which require
great skill she has apparently little
difficulty in bringing out. She

Prices of foodstuffs vary somewhat

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact OF
farmers In several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that OF Messrs. J. G.. Hill q Sons
OF Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in a hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner OF this to be announced was a
peck OF oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at one time the
winner OF the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were OF equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was

one greatly to the credit OF the Ca

gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion OF the splendid $1,000 silver
trophy contributed by the state OF
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 800 miles
north of the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
AZ to as pounds to the bushel, and
with yields Of from 60 to 100 BUSH
grades high, and yields from 30 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said of any portion OF Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant

are grown, thus giving plenty of feed,

The German workman, better situat-

other countries of the continent Of

union. This report gives the actual
budgets Of income and expense of 800
Of the workmen in this best-paid in
dustry. The average was an income
OF $3.50 year, Of which 1915 was from
the workman's own labor, the rest
from that OF his family and aids and
benefits. His annual expense was
$475, divided 1855 for food, drink and
tobacco, sos for rent and taxes, s55

other subscription. $40 for sundries,

The figures OF the unskilled laborer
are not SO favorable, of course. They
are also more difficult to obtain. A

Dusseldorf is not exceptional how
ever. and serves for testimony In this
case the fat which was the workman's
