AT THE SU[TANA

Saturday afternoon there will be a matinee at the Sultana, entitled, tThe Patchwork Girl of Oz". This play is particularly suited to child ren and all should see it. Of course it will interest older people, too.
 Saturday night and Sunday there will be shown, "A Problem" in which Fritzi Scheff takes the part of Pretty Mrs. Smith, who is a much married woman. She marries one man who leaves her, then she marries another of the same last name, and he leaves her. Believ- ing them both to be dead, she mar ries again. Now suppose all three husbands should appear at one time if you were Mrs. Smith, what would you do? The best method of solv- ing this problem is to see for your self how she does it.

Chesterfield County Fair

Considerable improvements |
have been made during the past
several weeks on the Fair grounds
of The Chesterfield County Fair
Association. The acreage of the
Fair grounds has been doubled
and the fence aronnd the grounds
has been extended to take in the
additional four acres of land &C.
quired. The exhibit building
has been doubled in size, a new
room built for the ladies depart
ment, and the shelving for ex-
hibits has been re-arranged so as
to provide more space. There
will be twice the space hereafter
for exhibits than heretofore, both
in buildings and out of doors
space. In place of the old stock
and cattle sheds which were
blown down last winter there is
erected two new buildings, one
for stock and the other for cattle.
These buildings are arranged
with passage thru the center
for Fair visitors to pass thru and
inspect the prize animals. Sever
al box stalls have been built and
numerous hitch stalls. These
buildings are provided with feed
rooms that will be in charge of
competent janitor. The various
exhibitors will furnish their own
feed bnt same can be left in feed
room in care Of janitor.
The arena track has been
lengthened and will be put in
first class shape for fancy driving.
The space for Carnival Compa.
nies will be on back side of
grounds. The Carnival street
will be known as the ''ZONE."
A first class carnival company
will be on hand this fall to fur
nish amusement for the Fair.
An attraction that will be of
interest to all will be the free
aeroplane flights.
On the west side of the en-
larged Fair grounds, over next
to the new McBee public road
which is now being built by the
County Chaingang, will be the
base ball park. Nice comforta BILE
bleacher seats are being erected
for visitors to rest upon and view
the bali games and the fancy
driving at the Fair as we'll as. the
aeroplane flights and other free
attractions. On this side of the
grounds a wagon gate as we'll as
gate for pedestrians will be
placed.
Another feature of the enlarg
ed grounds will be running water
in the grounds on the west side,
same being piped in {; this will be
great convenience.
The Fair management has been
spending good deal of ready
cash getting the grounds in readi-
ness for the Fair this fall. Ex-
penses have been high but

The Southern Planters.

The following practical and
pertinent article is from recent
issue of Golfers Weekly.
Frank Johnson of the flat re-
gion of South Carolina raises six
hundred bales of cotton annually
on as many acres. He employs
an expert to direct his negro
laborers and "dopes" his Ian d
with twenty-five dollars WORTH
Of commercial fertilizer to the
acre. When cotton fetches
twelve cents a pound. he makes
a "killing"; when the price
drops to seven cents, he goes
broke. Jim Brown, another cot
ton grower, lives ON a rented
farm, knows little, and has little
except leisure. He ralses scam
ty crop on supplies advanced by
a lien merchant. In a good year
he "pays out" and has a little
money for Christmas. In bad
year he has what the lien mer-
chant does not take. The non
resident landlord has G first lien
for rent cotton, and as a rule,
gets it. But no lien merchant or
nonresident landlord posters
James Sheppard, who lives up in
the hill country. Sheppard had
forty-five bales of the 1913 crop
when the war news reached him
last August, and fifty more in
the field to pick. Il refused
thirteen and a half cents for my
old cotton last July" he said,
but Pm not going to worry
much. l guess I'll hold both
crops till the price goes up again.
u don't owe the bank anything,
and l have plenty of corn, pota
toes, fodder, hogs and poultry"
The group Shepperd represents,
which is very small reduced their
cotton crops this year because
common sense dictated it; the
Frank Johnson class did SO be-
cause their bank and fertilizer
credit was restricted, and the
poor class of tenants because
lien credit was skimper. The
general reduction throughout the
South is Is per cent. Southern
farmers, knowing cotton to be
their most profitab BILE crop, will
continue to raise it; but they are
learning that one-crop production
means idleness of live stock, lat.
or, and land about half the year.
while overhead charges must be
paid on the whole outfit. They
are beginning to understand. too,
that while they cannot compete

Young People to
Give Musical Comedy
Two Black Bears Friday Night
at Opera House.

About eighty young people are
busy rehearsing the big musical
comedy Two Black Bears,
that is to be presented at the
opera house on Friday night.
The Ladies' Aid of the Presby-
terian church are the sponsors
for the entertainment. The pro-
ceeds will be used for the piano
fund. Catchy songs and laugh
able situations, and large con-
tingent of pretty girls effectively
costumed and backed by stall
wart chorus men" make an en-
semble that will make a really
professional musicalal look to its
laurelS.
Miss Marie Covey as the prin-
cess and Mr.. o. M. Spratt as the
prince make a good couple, and
their quaint duet, Who's the
Little Girl You Love so Dearly?"
is charmingly sung. Prof.
Twente as the gallant captain of
the Boy Scouts has duet with
Freda priscilla Wear) that
promises to be sung everywhere
long afterwards. Mr.. E. L.
Mason's excellent voice heard to
advantage in a very popular
song, backed by ten wiusome
maidens and a full moon, and in
addition they will have a num-
ber of choruses and electrical
effects. Mr.. Mason also appears
with Mr.. Victor Creamer and
Mrs. VIM. K. Nourse of New
York City, who has charge of
the rehearsals, and this trio
promises an amusing speciality,
and there will be a fetching
Spanish chorus and a stately
manner that will take us back to
to the days of our forefathers.
Altogether it is going to be
some show, and anyone who
misses it will be sorry-and of
course all the little folks will
have to be taken to see the an
tics of "The Two Black Bears"

About County Roads

Columbus, Kas., March 19, IS
Baxter Springs News, Chas
Smith, Editor.
Dear Sir:-When / arrived
home Friday morning, l wat
perusing your newsy paper and
the first column / glanced over
was headed, Reckon tits true?'
In reply will say that there il
but a very small portion of the
write-up that is true, as we have
had a great deal of road-drag'
ging done this winter, and al
present have at least ten teams
busy at the job, and by Saturday
night will have the entire road
from Chetopa to Baxter dragged.
don't want to say that any
one is not telling the truth, but
beyond doubt, some one has a
misunderstanding in regards to
the condition of the county roads.
We have had many good sub
stantial tax-payerf come in our
Office and tell us that the county
roads are in better shape than
they have seen them for many
years.
Will also say that it is true
that the automobile owners did
pay their state tax and we used
every cent of it on the county
roads, and will further say that
we made no levy for the year
1913 for road purposes, but did
make a levy in 1914 that will
bring us in something like 81, 900,
which will be spent for grading
and dragging roads from time to
time, as we think best. We
know that the roads have been
in a bad condition of late, but
could not be avoided. Even in
Lowell Township, where the
roads are gravelled, they are cut
up badly.
Now, as to the road machine.
l think that / understand what
it will do better than the people
that have never seen it, and it
will only be a short time until
we will convince the people that
the machine is the best road
builder and maintainer that
could be bought.
If the automobile owners will
please postpone their indignation
meeting for few days and get
in their machines with their
friends and ride out over any of
the county roads, l am satisfied
that they would never hold a
meeting for that purpose.
Yours Respectfully,
J. G. LIVINGSTON,
County Commissioner.
P. S.-Please, Chas., have the
nerve to print this.
