Respect for Christianity.

Beresford (S. D. Republic.
 We recently heard a minister de- clare that if Christian lives as he should the world will not have much to do with him. It is possible that the minister did not wish to convey just that impression, but we note a tendency on the part of some to ina zine that Christian is thought less of by the world because of his profession. On the contrary, the world has full measure of respect for the individual who not only makes a profession, but lives it. It is only when a Christian falls under his profession that the world points finger of real scorn. for sham under the guise Of sincerity is intolerable. There was a time when Christianity was subject to persecu ton, but these times have passed.

WHERE THE STRAWBER-
 RES COME FROM

Washington, D. C., May 2O.-A re-
 cent survey of the production and marketing of strawberries in the Unit ed States, made by the Department Iot Agriculture, indicates that the Ieight most important commercial strawberry districts are Central Cali fornia, Tennessee, Maryland, Della ware, Southern Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and the Ozarks. In 1914, 1905 carloads of strawberries were shipped from Cen tral California. Lesser quantities were shipped from the other districts which are named in the order of their Importance. From the Ozarks came 743 carloads last year.
 The authors of the survey, which is published in Bulletin 137 of the United States Department of Agriculture. Strawberry Supply and Distribution in 1914," point out, however, that the
 North plays more important part in the strawberry industry than these figures might indicate. Great ouan- titles of berries are grown in the north in small patches and shipped to market by trolley, express, or in the producers own wagon. Only a very small portion of northern-grown ber- ries are concentrated into carload lots, the basis for the Government Sur vey. In the South, however, on the
 Pacific Coast, where berries are shipp- ed long distances it is economical to arrange to have them sent by carloads.
 The bulletin already mentioned con- tains a list of all shipping stations in the United States where carload ship
 ments originate, together with the number of carloads sent out in 1914.
 From this list it appears that there was a grand total of 14,553.2 carloads of strawberries shipped commercially lin 1914. Of these 2,312 came from California, the States closest compe- titor being Tennessee with total of 1,571.5
 Another chart in the bulletin shows the duration of the shipping seasons in the various sections. Strawberries
 begin to leave Central Florida as early |as December and the movement con tinues until the end of March. By the first of March the first strawber- ries from Southern Texas and South ern California find their way to the market. About the middle of March the Louisiana crop begins to move, |continuing about two months or un- til the middle of May. May is, indeed, the great months for carload ship ments. By far, the greatest part of the Tennessee and Virginia crop is shipped at that time, as well as much
 of the Delaware, Southern Illinois, and Maryland supply. By the end of June Southern California is almost the only area from which carload shipments are being made. The straw berries then on the market are chief ly grown in small quantities in areas close to the great consuming sections. In connection with this work the Department of Agriculture is conduct ing a telegraphic market news ser vice of the daily movement of straw
 berries to the various large markets during the current season together with the prices received. Reports of these movements and prices are tele- graphed daily to producing areas and

"The Merry Rounders"
AT the Empire.

J In the Merry Founders, which is
the current attraction at Miners
Theatre, Max Spiegel has set a new
standard for burlesque. The Merry
FOUNDERS is as different from the cut
and dried burlesque shows that have
appeared year after year at the local
theatres as day is from night and
just whether the experiment, for eX-
pertinent it is, will be accepted by
the patrons of burlesque as the new
idea in that line of entertainment is
problematical.
The costumes are gorgeous without
being gaudy. The scenery has been
designed and built to carry out the
color schemes of the costumes and the
whole has been made a setting for a
fast moving show in which comedy
bits" predominant. Several Of the
musical numbers have been written
especially for the production with the
latest song hits interpolated. Tho
chorus Of twenty-four girls is we'll
balanced aggregation and they are
assisted by n double quartette Of male
singers.
Abe Reynolds, Hebrew comedian,
with a big burlesque reputation as q
comedian, and George Hayes,
"rube" character, are the featured
performers with the Merry FOUNDERS
and they succeed in providing plenty
OF laughs for the audience. Many of
the bits they do are as old as the
proverbial hills, but they have been
given a twist that make them look
bright and new.
Jack MCGOWAN, a young good
looking straight" and frankie Grace
and Johnny Berkes, a team of dancers
who also appear in minor parts, act
as a foil to the comedy of Reynolds
and Hayes. Grace and Berkes pulled
down the hit of the show with their
dancing speciality in the second act.
May Latham, June Leveay and
Zella Clayton, a trio of good looking
girls, were the female principals, and
in addition to wearing many pretty
costumes they led the song numbers
of the show. In mentioning the girls
! it would not be amiss to give credit
/ to one of the chorus girls, Marie Mar
quardt, who possessed large amount
of pep and kept the remainder of
the chorus right on their toes.
It is the costumes, chorus, scenery
and musical numbers that will draw
patrons to Miners Theatre this week
to see the Merry Rounders. Max
Spiegel deserves credit for trying to
raise the burlesque standard. Whether
he will succeed or not in his under
taking is a question that will only
be answered at the end OF the season.

Excellent Bill
at the Lyric.

Crowded houses greeted the players
at the Lyric Theater yesterday and last

which has been seen there for several
weeks. There was not a dull number

lures were better than usual. Jack

on account of their beauty and

The special music on the bill Is far

worse in many a high-priced musical
comedy. Grace Harvard has a very
pleasing voice of much sympathy.
Her Down in Tennessee" was most
pleasant feature of the bill. Doris

much applause for vocal numbers of

The LoeW Theater bill last night
was a we'll balanced offering. with
high lights that cleaned strongly.
and with the balance of the acts good
enough not to suffer by comparison,
a thoroughly entertaining array OF
good variety.
Andy Lewis. self exiled from bur
lesque after a ten years residence,
led off in his three-people sketch,
THE Duke" His burlesque training
and natural abilities made the act a
rollicking, absurdly funny session of
merriment for the audience. Andy is
at his best in Hebrew caricature roles,
and in 1.-THE Duke" he appears as a
Jewish peddler. who endeavors to i'm
personate a nobleInan and win the
hand of an heiress. One reason the
act is so enjoyable is that it is a
tabloid burlesque show, something
not so frequently found as tabloid
musical comedies or operettas.
An electrical novelty is on the bill
'The Girl in the Moon in which the
moon girl, who is decidedly more
pleasing to look upon than the man
IN the moon, sails out over the heads
of the audience in a swing contriv-
ance. The act has an air and Illusion
which makes it a highly desirable ad-
dltion to the bill.
The Gliding O'Mearas presented a
dancing Offering. Both are graceful
and their fox trot was especially good.
The Musical -Four, i'll miniature
minstrel act, sang we'll. Their cos
tuning was attractive, and little
humor found its way in now and
then.
Marshall and Tribble, colored enter
tainers, ard other vaudeville acts
