In presenting three clever one-act
plays in decidedly artistic manner, the
Drama Study class last evening gave a
delightful entertainment al the Wom-
ans club to the husbands and friends
of the members of the club. 1t was
-'Gentleman's Evening" and never was
the annual event observed more at
tractively
The plays, all delightful in their deli
cate humor and pathos, were produced
under the personal direction of Mrs
Franklin McCluskey. Each characteri-
zation was excellent and told of careful
study as we'll as skillful directing. Pre-
ceding the plays Mrs. McCluskey gave
d DIlef curtain talk touching upon
those points which she has advocate
before her classes during the season
She spoke in behalf of the work of
the amateur. She said that instead Of
Offering appreciation the audience IL
many instances shrugged its shoulders
Mrs. McCluskey stated that the ANA
teur players should not be considered
from the same view point as that OF
the profession, declaring that there is
a freshness and charm about sincere
amateur. work not to be found on the
stage She said the purpose of an anna =
teur production was to give joy to
ones friends and called attention to
the fact that the stage was a medium
for the development Of an artistic style
that should be encouraged. The speak
er said she hoped to see Improvement
in amateur work each year
Certainly little improvement could
have been made in last nights offering
The plays were charming, and in choos
ing the simple plays Mrs McCluskey
felt she could carry out her ideas OF

a large and critical audience expressed
her success.

Reasons Why You Should Patronize
this Horse.
He is an extra good individual and
represents the most popular breed in
the country today. His pedigree repre-
sents the best blood of his breed. His
quality is unsurpassed and he has the
best disposition of any stallion in the
country. He transmits this disposition
10 his colts. He is tried horse and a
sure foal getter. His colts are easy to
sell and bring good prices; they have
high life, plenty of vim, but are easy to
handle. He will stay here and give you
chance to breed to him again.
We will exercise.the greatest care in
handling mares. but will not be respon-
sible for accidents.

War on Paper Stock
By Frederick J. Haskin.

One place that feels the shock of war
pretty hard these days is the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. This is the
governments model bill and stamp
factory. Joseph H. Ralph, the director,
and his army of 5000 are putting up
the fight of their lives, for up to date
We are making the world safe for
democracy mainly on paper Liberty
Bonds by the million, interim certificates
to be issued until the Liberty Bonds
are finished, At new kinds Of revenue
stamps, tremendous issue of national
reserve bank notes, commissions for
brand new officers, disbursers checks
and transportation vouchers, and the
mighty threat of three-cent stamp to
take the place of the two.
\ The bureau does it all, and the worst
of it is, it never knows exactly what is
going to be required of it. Take this
revenue bill. One day some Kansas
congressman rises in his place, points
out that the cigaret is poisoning the
youth of the nation, induces the House
to include a tax of quarter of a cent
on cigaret paper; whereupon the bureau
has design made of a cigaret pap
stamp with head of Andrew Jackson
on it, and puts an etcher to work and
orders the paper and ink. The next
week some tobacco-belt senator rises w
and proves by sheer eloquence that the
cigaret is not only neutritious but also
antiseptic, and induces the Senate tc
strike out that clgaret paper tax. Sc
the men down at the bureau put away
the picture of Andy. countermanded
the order for paper and wait to see
what the conference will do. All this
work is being done with paper costing
just about twice what it did before the
war broke out and labor scarce. They

Bordeaux Mixture.

This is the standard spray for
truck crops. potatoes, tomatoes, grapes
and for apples in the case of bitter rot
and blotch. The material is made
from:
Copper sulphate (Bluestore), 4
pounds.
stone Lime of good quality,
pounds.
Water so gallons.
In making the spray material dis.
solve the bluestone by suspending it
in a bag near the surface of a few
gallons of water contained in wooden
or earthen vessel Stake the lime and
add several gallons of water so as to
make milk of lime. Strain the blue,
stone solution into the spray tank and
add enough water to make from 20
to 80 gallons. Then strain the milk
of lime into the barrel, agitating the
mixture vigorously. Add water to
make 80 gallons and use Immediately.
The secret in making good Bordeaux
is to have the bluestone and the milk
ting them together and then while they
are being brought together they should
be stirred continuously If concen-
trated solutions are put together, a
very poor grade of Bordeaux is the
result
stock solutions may be made by
dissolving bluestone the rate of one
pound per gallon of water. Stake the
lime and dilute to one pound to the
gallon. These will keep indefinitely
If kept separate, but they should be
covered to keep the water from evap-
Grating. When using them, mix 40
cording to the formula above. Pre-
pared Bordeaux, both dry and paste,
is on the market and may be subst.
tuted for the homemade mixture. Con-
suit your County Demonstration Agent
regarding the details Of preparing any
Of the above mixtures.
