THE BIRD OF PARADISE

For picturesqueness few plays excel
Richard Watson Tully's The Bird of
Paradise" which was the attraction
at the Grand theater last night. The
vague, dreamy Hawaiian music and
the dimmed, yellow lights incidental
to the piece cast a glamour over the
performance that IS unusual. AS far
as Topeka is concerned the play came
into its own last night. Two years
ago Oliver Morosco sent his company
to Topeka for a week but during the
entire time not as many people saw
the play as watched the performance
last night.
Lenore Ulrich, who played 'Luana"
when the play was shown here two
years ago, is playing in the movies
now and Carlotta Monterey is inter
preting the leading role. A number
of actors in the cast last night played
in the original road production. The
same Hawaiian singers. with one ex-
ception, who were here before sang
the songs so popular to talking ma
chine fans.
The story deals with the love of
Hawaiian girl for a man from the
states, who almost succumbs to the
dreaded lassitude of the islands. In
the unraveling the tale is enhanced by
the addition of many Hawaiian Gus
toms and beliefs. The scenic investi-
ture was all that could be desired and
the entire performance charmed the
large audience. e. w. w.

RIPLEY Is PRAISED.
Ardmore Editor Says City Was Saved
by Santa F'e Head.

Col. Sidney suggs, veteran Okla
homa editor, says in his paper, the
Ardmore Ardmorite, that the Santa
Fe Railway company saved the city
from financial ruin when President
Ripley agreed to pay the losses caused
by the explosion of gas from car OF
gasoline on the company's tracks.
1.-THE Santa Fe," says Colonel Suggs,
has done that which no other railway
company ever did before. The com
pany is not only paying the losses, but
the assessment of these losses is left
exclusively to a committee of Ardmore
people The act is unheard of in the
annals of railroading, and that line of
road today occupies a prominent place
in the affections of the people. Not
only do the people here who have suf-
fered, express appreciation for the
magnanimous act, but throughout the
United States expressions of gratitude
to a great corporation are heard.
THE result of that unparalleled
magnanimity will eliminate the harsh
ness from many an order from state
corporation commissions, it will stay
the hand of many a prejudiced mem
Der of state legislatures, and there will
be more wholesome respect among the
entire populace for railway property
and railway rights.

successful three days Farm, Home and
School festival ever held in northwest
Kansas closed here Saturday night.
Farm and school exhibits were said to
rival those of the larger state fairs this
fall. Many of the school exhibits, both
rural and city schools were works of
art in their display of farm, garden,
flowers. fruit. drawing and manual
training. The display of art and
needle work and hand PARTED china,
entered by individuals and clubs, was
especially fine. Everywhere, in all ex-
hibits, the famous Jewell county corn
and alfalfa was in evidence, re-
hinder of the country'S superior pro-
duction of these two great crops. The

collection of farm production and ex-
poets next year to have the greatest at
Topeka. Several prominent state ex-
pertS were present. Miss Brown or

of the finest musicaI organizations in
this part of the country, followed by
the queen of tho festival on her
throne of agricultural products, school
and merchants floats, various clubs,

SHOULD NAME FARMS.
Farmers as Business Men Ought to
Give Titles to Places.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. "A cam
paign to induce Kansas farmers to
give their farms names is being con-
Quoted by H. w. Davis, assistant pro-
fessor of English at the Kansas State
Agricultural college here. Professor
Davis points out that farm name has
an economic value and that the mod
ern farmer is a business man and as
such he should name his place of bust
ness just as grocers, druggists and
other business men do.
I'm choosing a name for the farm,
give it some appropriate name" he
says. Don't call an eighty acre farm
a ranch, or a chicken farm some name
that would imply that its important
product was onions"
The name may also be taken from
the location of the farm. he points
out, such as an especially beautiful
rock formation, a creek running
through the farm, or trees.
when you have a name, use it. If
you have produce to sell, advertise it
with the farm name; if you have a
bulletin board on which you list your
products for sale, by all means have
the farm name on that, so that peo-
pie will become accustomed to the
use of that name"

Don't bother to prepare the tonic:
you can get from any drug store a

This can always be depended upon
to bring back the natural color, thick

Everybody uses ''Wyeth's'' Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so nat
urally and evenly that nobody can tell
it has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through the hair,

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 4.-Feeling
that good penmanship is an asset,
Prof. H. W. Mutt, head of Dream
Training school, the high school de-

present at the examination.
1t is planned to make careful in

fault, and finally to issue a pamphlet
containing suggestions for possible
remedies. This is to be sent to high
and grade school teachers throughout
the state.
