ever and if they continue to increase
the amount of highfalutin opera Sc
lectiOns and cut the old fashioned fav-
orites they will lose out in time. Grand
opera may be all right for a 50 per

of champagne, but the average so

was received by j. G. Trefz, manager
Of the North Side Garage, yesterday
and as most Of them were already
sold, he had the owners give a street

Lamb Market

The shipment of lambs from this
section are about finished now, and
our feeders have wound up the season
with real war prices for their stuff.
For the past two weeks the Lamar
lambs have been selling over 10 cents
right along and some have got close
to the II cent mark. The season
started bad but wound up in a blaze
of fireworks-just like one of those
war bombs had burst under it and
boosted it sky high.

Spring Right Here

The weather has warmed up just
like it meant business this week and
the crops, lawns and trees are show
ing the effects in the most remarkable
manner. Alfalfa is growing so fast
you can almost hear rattle like mon

come back by the same road you can
see the growth. The display of fruit
blooms was never mere prolific, and
if the frost keeps off now, all records
for fruit yield in this section will be

Flax, next to winter wheat, is pro-
badly one of the most certain of the
dry farming cash crops. Owing to
the fact that it is subject TO certain
plant and soil diseases, flax cannot
be continuously grown with safety
upon the same land. To be grown
successfully in a permanent system Of
farming, it must be grown as a rota-
ton crop. Where fax constitutes one
of the permanent crops it shouldn't
occupy the land oftener than one in
four or five years. When so alternte-
ed it is possible to keep the land free
from diseases, provided the seed flax
is properly treated with the formalde-
hyde treatment TO prevent the spread
of the disease through the seed.

of endeavor, the one result being apparent

POlf's-"MfIestOnes."

"Milestones' is one Of the dramatic
successes of recent years and is a pro-
ducton eminently suited to stock pres
entation. The new Poll Players, despite
the heat last night. gave performance
that was full OF snap and vim.
The auditors were delightfully."- enter
tanned by well-balanced acting which
held them at high tension in moments
of deep interest, and then relieved by
bits of comedy which bespoke the skill
of members OF the company.
The story OF "Milestones" has been
told from one end Of the country to the
other. The story. however, Is live is
sue-the struggle for progressive de-
velopment. Fifty years elapse between
the first and the last act and the same
characters are depicted in the vicis-
STUDIES of three generations.
"Milestones' is true test of the YER
satiity of the Poll Players, and they ade-
ately meet the conditions imposed. The
principals are seen in the course of the
drama first as young people. then as mid
dle-aged, and finally as the pathetic elder
ly ones. There is much Of a touching
pathos. which is delicately handled with
strong appeal.
