CORSET FITTING IN
MOVING PICTURES
Reed Bros. Have Engaged the
BijOu Theatre for a
Special Matinee.

The old saying that there is moth
ing new under the sun will receive a
decisive negative in Dickinson on
Friday afternoon, May %. Reed
Bros. have engaged the Bijou theatre
for a special matinee which will be
limited to women only. This will be a
great disappointment to their male
patrons, but as the seating capacity
will be taxed, and as the film is of di-
rect interest to women only, men will
have to forego this matinee.
This film shows the actual fitting
of Gossard Corsets and woven around
the fittings is a beautiful story, en-
titled "How Marjorie Won a Career
It required almost three months to
complete this film and the Reed store
is to be congratulated on being able
to get an early run on the film.
Complimentary passes are being is
sued to the ladies of Dickinson in the
Corset Department of Reed Bros.

yourself and friends.
Moving pictures are certainly cover
ing a wide range of activities and
there is no telling what oneT will see
next at the movies. That they are
exercising a wonderful education of

have no doubt that the Reed. Bros.

for requests to this matinee for wom-

Ono Chance Shot That Brought Down
Three Enelish Officers.
1t has been truly said that once You

come to resi-. Even when a bullet has
an uninterrupted course it is capable
Of upsetting all known calculations of
its flight and range.
Before the battle of Omdurman a
sick officer was carried across the Nile
and placed under an awning no less
than $500 yards from the nearest
point Of possible fire. This should cas-
lily have insured him a margin of safe
ty, but it didn't. A stray bullet ate up
the intervening three miles of desert
air. struck him in the head and killed
him.
Shortly before another battle in the
Sudan General Sir Archibald Hunter,
Colonel Hacket-Thompson, O. B., and
another officer were accommodating
through an opening in the wall of a
disused sakieh, or waterwheel. The
hole In the wall was 80 small that the
officers had to stand one behind the

it sped through one OF the lenses OF the

FARM F'sTURE GRASSES.

Sufficient ~Fas$urage Necessary to Raise
Live Sock Successfully.
There is plenty Of land in the United
States under grass. The trouble about
1t is that this land is not producing
what it should in the way Of forage,
writes A. X. Bronson in the Farm
Progress. Too many pastures have a
poor stand Of grass. others are seeded
to the wrong grasses, and still others
have been left to seed themselves
from anything that invaded them aft.
er the first stand had died out.
1t is impossible to grow live stock
with any degree Of success unless
there is enough pasturage available.
Prices of live stock. high as they are,

ing Is the sole reliance. Dairying can
be made to pay in special instances
where the market is assured and trans
pOrtation is not a problem even though
all the feedstuffs are bought. But one
Of the strongest reasons for taking up
dairying is absent on that farm where
~pasturage is at a premium.
In beef production, where the ami.
mails are bred and grown by the feed.
er, there must be pasturage if the
business is to show the proper re-
turns. The fnisher of beef cattle can
take the yearlings Or two-year-olds and
by stufing them with fat forming
feeds for a few months make money
on them. But somewhere in the life
history Of any beef animal showing q
profit there must be a period Of pastur:
ing and roughage.
This makes the growing Of grass
crops all important in any proper
scheme Of farming. The man who
gets the most from his pasture lands
will be forced to adopt some sort OF
a plan whereby he can get as much
green feed as possible from early in
the spring until late in the fall. This
in most localities means the adoption
of a mixed grass setting, something
that will have different grass varieties
ripening all summer long and others
coming on to take their places.
Some sort of legume should be
made a part Of the pasture, especially
in old regions that have been settled
for a long time. In new countries
where the soil is strong this need will
not be felt so keenly, but where the
land has. been cropped for many years
before being put in pasture, the GLOW
ers will help to keep the right proper
ton Of nitrogen in the soil. Whatever
the legume may be it will help fatter
the land and feed the other grasses
1t will prevent, too, the condition often
| spoken Of as "sod bound"
As much Of the pasture acreage is
sown in the spring or in the very late
winter before the ground quits freez'
ing, this is a splendid season to con
slider just what the new pasture should
be made up Of. In nearly all the states
some agricultural authority connected
with the state experiment station has
made a special study of grasses with
a view to finding out just what is best
for certain areas in the state. 1t is g
good plan to get the advice of a mar
who knows before seeding.

CAR ORDERS
FOR MANY PLANTS
Pennsylvania RaSroad Company
Distributes Another Big Bunch
of Prosperity

orders for SIG. 600, 600 worth OF
freight cars were given yesterday by
the Pennsylvania railroad. This is by
far the largest expenditure of money
for equipment made by a railroad in
several years and is taken as indica-
ton of the return of prosperity. Work
upon these orders will give employ
ment to thousands of men all over the
country.
The $16,O 600. 900 is the greater part
of the $50, 900, 900 recently appropri-
ated by the Pennsylvania for the re-
placement of its rolling stock. The
other 81, 000, 600 will be spent by the
railroad itself in the manufacture of
locomotives at its Altoona shops. All
the money will be spent during this
year. -.
The orders given yesterday are for
1903 cars. of all kinds for use on the
lines both east and west of Pittsburgh.
In this total are included $500 box
cars, S24 refrigerator cars, 5000 gon-
dola cars and 1919 hopper cars.
The work was distributed among a
number of her Ear works. The Press
ed Steel Car Company will make assoc,
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany will make 3,44S; the Standard
Steel Car Company will make 1000.
the Cambria Steel Company will make
$500, Haskell and Barker will make
$500, and the Ralston Steel Car Com
pany will make 1000. This will be a
big boom for all these plants, which
will work full blast from now N.
Still another big expenditure, which
will further aid the situation, is eX-
pected in the next few weeks. 1t is
understood thai the PENNSYLVANIA has
already placed orders for 10000 tons
of steel rails and will need about 49,

ROTARY CLUB HEARS
OF "S|X-S|X" PLAN
Prof. Koch Makes Recommends
tons He Believes Would Work
Out Well Here

While carefully refraining from
criticism or recommendations that
might embarrass officials of the Har-
risburg chool district, Professor
Charles Is. Koch, State inspector of
high schools, clearly intimated in an
address before the Harrisburg Rotary
Club, following a dinner at the Har-
risburg Club last night, that the So
called 'siX-siX' school plan could be
worked out here to the advantage of
the public school system n the ma
terial benefit of the pupils. The six
six plan contemplates six years in the
lower schools and six years in high
schools-three in a junior high school
and three in a high school proper.
Professor Koch originated this plan
in the Phillipsburg high school in 1903
and it has been widely adopted.
Professor Koch's address was deliv-
cred at the invitation of the educa-
tional committee of the Rotary Club,
which at its last meeting favored the
siX-year high school system for this
city and authorized DR.. s. Il. Shope,
chairman, to ave a report made by
an experienced educator. When Pro-
lessor Koch was asked what steps
would be necessary to introduce the
plan in Harrisburg he referred the
~queStloner to a local school authority
and D.. ID. Hammelbaugh, secretary of
lhC b1iIoo bOdIus Il member OIL IIlG
Rotary Club, replied hat there was
little prospect of uch a change so long
as the people OF the city displayed
their present unwillingness to spend
money for high school rposes He
said the Introduction of the system
would probably not relieve the present
necessity of two daily sessions in the
Central high school. because only
about 250 pupils would be taken from
the four-year school and placed in the
junior schools, which would still leave
too large a number to be handled in
one session, unless the large audi
forum were cut up into recitation
rooms.
Professor Koch said under the
siX-siX system Harrisburg would have
approximately $40 pupils in the three
year high school and about 1850 in the
Junior schools, which. he thought, would
require three buildings. He reviewed
conditions in eleven of the larger in
land cities of the state, spoke of the
growing favor of the system by many
prominent educators and gave his
opinion that within a few years it
would be well introduced in the schools
of the state.
The arguments in favor of the sys-
tenn were that it would in many cases
save a year in a students school life.
and would start the study of languages
and vocational work in special lines at
a more susceptible age than is possible
under the present system.
1t was said to-day hat the Rotary
Clubs inquiry into high school con
ditions would not be dropped.
Introducing the speaker, DIR. Shope
called the Rotarians TO task for not
visiting the schools. saying:
You ought to get around to the
school at least two or three times a
year to encourage the teacher. the
school authorities and the pupils by
showing that you are interested in see
