A good beginning was made yesterday
on the big job Of selling more than
$1,000. 100000 worth of war savings
stamps to residents in the District Of
Columbia. No compilation has been at

sales cannot even be closely approximat-

thousands.
Reports received up to noon today by
Postmaster Chance showed sales to the
amount Of s3.s21.4s made through the
city post Office and substations. with
many contract stations yet to be heard
from.
Banks have not yet reported to D. j.

the stamps they had on hand. from a
few hundred dollars up to thousand
dollars each.

Mr.. Callahan thinks the showing a
remarkably good one, in view of the
fact that the campaign has only begun
and has not yet attained momentum.

other agencies, and the public begins

Back To The Farm

"Back on the Farm" is a d~istinc-
tivly rural drama the plot, OF which
lies at our very door. 1t depicts
farm life in the North West in an
amusing, interesting and instructive
manner. 1t 10 the story of a farm boy
who is determined to secure an edu-
cation which he may apply to improve
the conditions on his fathers farm.
The way in which he secures and ap-
plies this education is intensity human
and commands rapt attention. The
subject which involves a revolution
in agricultur methods from the old to
the new is presented in a most telling
manner by THE LITTLE COUNTRY
THEATRE PLAYERS of the North
Dakota Agricultural College.
This play was presented last Janu-
airy at the Fargo Auditorium during
the week of the Tri-state Grain Grow
ers convention to a packed house of
$500 people. At that time time it
evoked the most enthusiastic applause
and comment from the audience. 1t
has since been given by practically
the same cast in several towns in
North Dakota. Each time it was
met with a marked degree of success
a nd return engagements with THE
Little COUNTRY THEATRE PLAY
Frs have been asked for. When
staged in THE LITTLE COUNTRY
THEATRE to a packed house for the
third time, the following remark by
one of the spectators was overheard
"Last week sy vent to Gran Forks to
see dis har "Birt of de Nation", but,
by golly! ay tai yu ay would go tree
times so far tn see dis har show again."
The talent which presents the play
is exceptional. The character of Gus,
the friedman is a typical one and
adds . touch of fun to the drama.
Amazing instructive, interesting, it
is an altogether wholesome comedy
drama we'll worth seeing. 1t has q
message to teach which the old should
hear and the young should heed. 1t
deals with your problem. You cannot
afford to miss it.
1t will be presented at Hope, Friday,
August 3, 1917.

HELPING FARMER WOMEN

Miss Jellum, district home demon
station agent for the U. S. department
of agriculture, is working in this end
of Benton county this week. Miss Jel-
lum's work can best be. explained by
saying that she occupies the same re-
lation to the farm housewife as the
county agriculturalist does to the
farmer. Her district comprises the
four counties of Kittitas, Yakima, Ben
ton and Kickitat. She will meet the
farmer women any place in the county
where five or more will assemble. Ar
rangements for such meetings can be
made by telephoning to County Agri-
culturalist Lee M. Lampson.
