CHRISTMAS PLAYS
AT OPERA HOUSE

One of the Christmas plays 10 be
presented by the "Children's Players
at the Opera House on December 21st
and 22nd Is called Christmas Gold
1t is the story of fuzzy worms, but
terflies, beetles, crickets, spiders and
fairies, and of little ''Lisbeth,.. who
loves them all
In the opening dialogue between
Katrina Kolp and her husband, Myn-
heer Kolp, we learn that their little
daughter "Lisbeth" was spirited
away by the fuzzy worms, as she lay
on the grass watching her papa make
a garden, because they wanted re-
venge on him for killing all of their
brother worms.
It is Christmas eve and Mamma
Kolp, presented by Mrs. Arthur Smith,
isidiscovered, with q smile on her lips
rbut tears in her heart, trimming q
Christmas tree. Papa Kolp (Mr. Alex
Tander Lindsay discouraged and heavy
hearted, brings bright red candles and
red, red apples for the tree, which is
hung with presents for Lisbeth's little
friends, Peter, Mango and Jan, the lit
tie lame boy.
Finally Mamma Kolp brings out Lis
beth's doh. which her papa had cary
ed for her. from q bit of wood. This
is hung at the top of the tree, with q
silent prayer and a cherished hope
that Lisbeth will be returned TO them
this Christmas eve.
When all Is quiet, the fuzzy worms,
crickets, beetles and spiders appear to
discuss the advisability Of returning
Lisbeth to her home. Just here, a
weird and wonderful dance ARRANGED
and directed by Mr.. Correthers and
Miss Cunningham) is introduced, in
which all Of these tiny creatures take
part, the crickets furnishing the music.
The fun Is interrupted by the appear
afice of the fairy and her two bench
men, whereupon they hide in cracks
and corners until they are swept out
again to assist in clearing the room
The spiders, always busy, cover the
Christmas tree with a wonderful net
work of threads.
The good fairy, with the help of her
henchmen, brings Lisbeth (little Helen
Hitchcock) back from the big cocoon,
where she has been sleeping, all of
this time, thus lighting. up the hearts
Of Mamma and Papa Kolp - 80
Instantly the room is Hooded with
light 1.-THE real light that each and
everyone of us is seeking).
The spiders web, spun round and
round the Christmas tree, becomes as
gold, and in the joy of the house all
is gold, true Christmas Cold for

MESA VERDE PROPHETS
Indians Foretold Our Wet Summer
and a Long Cold Winter.

The season so far verifies the
weather predictions of the Indians
who occasionally visit the Mesa Yer
de National Park in southwestern
Colorado for trading purposes, but
who never stay an hour longer than
is necessary because of their dread
of the little people" whom they be-
licve still inhabit. in spirit form, the
prehistoric cliff dwellings that have
made the Mancos Valley famous the
world over. Last fall the Mesa Yer
de prairie dogs deserted their vii
lagos for new ones and the Indians
have been shaking their heads over it
all winter. Rain, much rain," they
say; rain all summer" So far they
seem to have predicted right.
And now they are again shaking
their heads. Gold, much cold,' they
say; bad winter eoming"| And
why? Because this summer game
has been unusually plentiful on the
Mesa Verde. Deer are more fire.
qucntly seen than for years. Rabbits
and hares are so numerous one can
scarcely go about without seeing
them in large numbers. Coyotes and
mountain lions are also unusually
plentiful. which may be explained by
the abundance OF the small game on
which they live.

ARE YOU FEELING BLUE7
Then Go Eat Alfalfa and Your Trou-
bles Will Vanish.

Soon Smith will meet Jones on the
corner. Jones will be feeling blue.
Smith will not say Come on, cheer
up. The worst is yet to come"
He will say, "Too bad Jones, that
you got fired. Go eat alfalfa"
Alfalfa, it has been discovered. is
a true cure for blues. Not only that,
but as an appetizer it has all other
ingredients showed off the platter.
Brown will have company for dinner.
1t is company he likes to see happy
and hungry, he will take them out in
to his alfalfa patch and let them
browse.
Alfalfa will also be taken on ocean
liners to bring back appetites and
life to the sea-sick.
Dr. Alexander L. Blackwood. of
Chicago, at the American Institute
of Homeopathy, said seventeen men.
after taking preparations from alfal-
ia, grew hungry, their minds grew
clear and bright, their bodily func-
tions wer stimulated and it was i'm
possible to have the blues.
Regarding this it seems shame
that alfalfa has been confined to
stock. To many farmers this will ex-
plain the voracious appetites OF their
fattening stock. Farms in Colorado
where alfalfa is grown may now be
expected to climb in price.
School students, to ward off tor
pidness, will carry pocketful OF al
falfa. Long sermons can be made vi
tally interesting by an occasional nip
of the stimulating weed. Indigestion
will be only a hated memory and
blue" Mondays" will drift into his
tory. if the professors statements
prove true.
While possessing the same stimu-
| lating qualities, he said, alfalfa is not
as harmful as whiskey. Therefore,
haymows will take the place of bar
rooms and mint beds will give way
to alfalfa patches in every back
yard.
Truly, to the westerner who is ac-
customed to seeing big, fresh patch
es of alfalfa, DR.. Blackwood brings
| good news.
