FRED MACE ALWAYS
LIVES CHARMED LIFE

Fred Mace, the burly comedian, has
some narrow escapes from sud len
death in the new Keystone comedy,
CROOKED to the End" which is to ap-
pear at the Orpheum theatre next
Monday.
Right at the start he is nearly
drowned when he gets under a water
spout near the station where he is the
agent. He goes back to the station
and hangs up the overalls to dry. As
he has no other change, he dons a
nightie and crawls into bed. His slum-
bers are broken by his daughter, who
calls him to his duties on the arrival
of a passenger train. Mace has to
officiate in his night apparel because
some one has taken the overall. He
finds the engineer wearing 'em and
makes him return them.
Mace's next hairbreadth escape
comes when he goes fishing and is
caught in the quicksand with his COM
panion, the constable. Then Mace
comes near being blown up with
bombs in the hands of crooks when
he joins the police in autos as they
pursue the robbers who are running
away with his daughter and the sta
ton safe. However, Mace comes out
safely and lives to give his parental
blessing to the wedding of his daugh-
ter and the engineer.

of elephants, etc, he is promoted to
the ranks of a clown as the proper

One day by chance, By-darZee. a

Belts, a sandwich wrapped in the in

reads nthe paper that Fitzmorris has

can but get to Florida he has a golden

SOME POINTERS
ON DRY FARMING
Article In Western Farm Life Dis
cusses Principles And Methods OF
Dry Farming.

The states adjoining the dry farm
ing belt are always giving us nara
knocks. 1t is not much to be wonder
ed at, for it must be heartbreaking to
see the younger generation leaving
the old home and going farther west.
There is a very good reason, however,
for this exodus from the older states.
The younger generation is willing to
learn how to pillow and conserve mois-
ture already in some states they have
doubled the crops, and as soon as they
have mastered this they can come to
Idaho, Colorado or any other good dry
farming state and raise as big crops
on ten dollar land as the old man at
home is raising on hundred dollar
land
Henry Wallace of Wallace's Farmer
was on one of these hurry commits
sions organized for political effect, for
which the people pay and for which
they get nothing. We doubt if they
ever get in touch with any reputable
dry-farmer or procured any reliable
data of the millions of dollars worth
of the beef, dairy, fruit and feed pro-
ducts shipped from the dry farms of
the west Wallace says that while on
that commission they inquired how
much land was necessary for success

doesn't say from whom that at least
500 acres are required.
The writer commenced on one of
his Colorado farms in 1886 with so
acres and sold out in 1914 with 1920.
with fifteen COWS, three or four heavy
horses, chickens and bees, he made
living until he was able to acquire
more land. Some years we sold ton
of honey, some years only few hun
dred pound. We fed rye to horses
and dry stock and some pigs ran to
the stacks all winter and lived off the
grain. One hundred chickens scienti-
fically handled paid the grocery bill.
The rye we would plant on and
plowed ten inches deep. 1t often grew
from five to seven feet high and went
several tons to the acre.
Of course, we had very little pas
ture and little outside range. On
thirty or forty acres we would raise

ATTRACTIONS FOR THE THEATRE GOERS
CLEAN AND WHOLESOME SONG PLAYS, LIKE
LITERATURE ARE IN POPULAR DEMAND

successful issue When it became
known that the wonderful popularity
of Gene Stratton-Porters novel
"Freckles" was an absolute truth, and
with the book gaining entree into thou
sands of homes, there were a number
of New York producing managers,
who Immediately sought the dramatic
rights to Mrs. Porter's story of the
Limberlost: authors and copyright
owners of books, however, with such
popularity as this one are slow to re-
linQuish their reward Mrs. Porter
knew the motto of the Broadway
Amusement Co firm; Producers Of
Clean Plays" and they got the rights.
The question arose who was to dra-
Matte "Freckles," a book play must
stick to the text of the story in both
word and deed, and this requires more
than a playwright; it requires a know
ledge of stage intricacies and crafts
manship; Neil Twomey was given the
assignment, and went to work diligent-
ly; that he succeeded, even above the
hopes of the producers, is attested by
four first-class companies playing on
tour this season.
The success of "Freckles" lies in it's
simplicity. There are no characters
in modern fiction nor on the stage en-
dowed with such simple nobility,
sweetness and wonderful delineation
as has been given Freckles and the
Swamp Angel Mrs. Porter knows
nature, she has lived all her life in
the great Limberlost region OF Indiana,
studying it and writing about it. she
has achieved position which can be
disputed by none; her fiction and her
plays are in popular demand.
