POTATOES MAY BE SAVED
First Three Weeks In September
Have Often Made the Crop.

Stevens Point, Sept. 81. w. Hicks,
president of the State Potato Grow
ers' association and who has been de-
voting the last several weeks to a
tour of the potato district throughout
this portion Of Wisconsin, spent two
days in Portage county.
Although the outlook for fair
yield is far from promising at the
present time, Mr.. Hicks is not dis
couraged as favorable weather condi-
tions as late as the first three weeks
in September have virtually made"
the crop in other years.

1.-THE OTHER MANS WIFE /"
AT Municipal Theatre Mineral Point, on Saturday.
September g.

On Saturday at the Municipal Theatre the new
Gaskell & MacVitty production '"The Other
Mans Wife" from the pen of Victor E. Lambert
will be seen here for the first time. The double
standard of morals and conduct one for man the
other for woman is the theme. The story is han
died in mastery manner, and vein of the rich
est humor which throughout the whole piece
relieves any tendency of the story to become prosy.
The play is interpreted by an excellent cast, and
an elaborate scenic investure goes to make the
play very complete.

Relatives Who are Residents Of the

1t would take big FIRE right in
Maury county to cause more interest
or create more excitement than was
manifested here on Wednesday over
the confagration in the capital city
of the state. Columbia and Maury
county are bound by the closest ties
to Nashville, many residents here hav-
ing formerly lived in that city, while
large number of the people of Nash
vile we're either born or reared in this
county. AS the result there were
numerous inquiries at The Herald Of
fee from the time that the fire started
until late today for details of the
worst disaster that Nashville has ever
experienced from the fire demon.
The first news of the fire came TO
Columbia at about / o'clock over O
special to The Herald. At that time
the magnitude Of the disaster in Nash
vile was not appreciated and 1t was
not until 2 o'clock that news of the
seriousness Of the situation was re-
ceived. The news spread rapidly and
from that time on there came inquiries
from all parts Of the county. Many
waited details because they had
friends or relatives in the stricken
area and were anxious naturally to
know what fate had befallen them
Many were the expressions of sin
cere sympathy heard here today. On
all occasions the fire was the upper
most topic Of discussion and It is az.
sured that If any call is made for out
side aid there would be a prompt re-
spouse from the people of this section.
Every possible aid, were it asked,
would be extended.

TO REPEAT PLAY
AT SANTA FE
CAST OF CHARACTERS WILL RE
MAIN THE sAME-MiSS
cHoATE, DIRECTOR.

Such an overwhelming success was
the play given at the Woodrow school
last week and SO well pleased was the
audience with the performance that
the director, Miss Choate and the pu-
pills have decided to repeat the same
production with the same actors in
the cast at Santa Fe, on the night OF
Friday, March 81.
The title of the play is Escaped
From the Law" and is high class
drama, produced in five acts. It ranks
as one of the best among amateur
performances, and real stage talent
is shown in presenting the roles.
However, this school happens to have
the required talent for the presenta-
ton of the play and it is more than
worth the small admission charged
at the door.
