ROMAN OPERA H0||sF
THE MAuDE HENDERSON ca.
Two Nights---Ju 1924

The theatre going public of Roman
and vicinity will have the opportunity
OF witnessing some real first class pro-
auctions at popular prices, when the
Maude Henderson Co. holds the boa rds
at the local theatre for two nights.
There are no pictures connected with
this organization. They carry real live
actors and actresses, who are capable
of playing their parts and dressing
them correctly. The company carries
all special scenery and gives vaudeville
between acts. They have selected for
their initial performance Mr.. Chas.
kline's greatest drama, "The Third
Degree play dealing with the police
methods of New York City, and un-
folding story of love, devotion and
sacrifice. Read the book, then see this
great play in four acts. The manage
ment guarantees the attraction to give
satisfaction or money refunded. No
long waits between acts; something
doing all the time. If you want to see
a real capable company in real, up
to-date success, don't fail to attend
their performance. adv.

The immense falling off in ocean
travel is shown in a comparison OF
the figures for the period from Jan.
uary 1 to April II of last year with
those for the same period in this year
In 1914 the number of passengers
setting sail for Europe in the three
months and half was 27,727, and in
1915 only 4,19s; that is to say, the
traffic across the Atlantic from these
shores is less than one-sixth of what
1t was last year. 1t is estimated visi-
tors from the United States spent
$300,000,000 in Europe in 1914. An
easy calculation indicates that about
$250,00o,000 of this amount will stay
at home this year, much OF 1t to be
spent with our railroads, lake steam
ship lines and summer resorts. Prob
ably the Panama-Pacific show will
draw goodly share. -.,.a,<'

WAY OF A WOMAN.

Why is it that though women are
taught that marriage is their mission
in life, any open effort on their part
TO fulfill that mission is met with
sneers and ridicule? There is the.
DRY that the truly "womanly' woman
must modestly conceal any wish she
may cherish to win the affections of
a given man, but must sit at home
until he seeks her out of his own
accord. This is theory entertained
probably by most men, and good
many women at least affect to be-
1ieve it; though as matter of fact,
the womanly woman of all others is
the one who most actively exerts her.
self to gain her coveted prize. She
spins her little web, she inveigles the
unsuspecting man into it's meshes-
innocently enough, oh, yes-and he
is lost, though he fatuously believes
that he went of his own free will and
accord. The fact that the most WON,

classed, may practically do the court

Queed. The way of maid" who has
chosen marriage as career and is a

of their arts?

1t is not usual for an art treasure
to depreciate in value with time. The
paintings of the great masters bring
increasingly large prices as time
passes, but the other day art dealers
and connoisseurs received a shock
when Rubens' Elaboration of the
Magi' sold at reduction of $4,000 on
the amount paid for it by the late
Theron j. Blakeslee, for whose es-
tate it was being auctioned. 1t is said
the picture will now go back to Eu-
rope. 1t was originally painted for a
church in Bergues, French Flanders.
Bergues is few miles east of Dun
kirk, and it is open to question if the
church has escaped the shells that
have fallen in this war-scourged re.

her udder when she is young, but two
weeks before she Is due to calve I put
her in the barn with the COWS and get
her accustomed to the stable and u
methods Of handling. When ready to
calve she is placed in a box stall, and
we pet her and rub her udder. When
the calf is born we let them alone until
the calf has had it's fill. Then I take a
pail and stool into the stall. The
young mother is allowed to be loose
in the stall, and after l get to the right
side for milking l put some vaseline on
her teats, sit down, and start to strip.
If she moves l follow her up, but do
not try to milk in the usual way,
merely stripping her. She seldom
offers to kick and it is quite different
from starting in the other way.
