BADGER HEMP INTERESTS
EXPECT GOOD SEASON

Wisconsin hemp producing interests
are nearly lover the top"
Having proceeded on safe and
sane basis for several years, assuring
themselves Of a good market for their
crop, and encouraging farmers to
grow it only on favorable soil and in
community groups for the sake of
handling it more effectively, the Bad
ger fiber crop specialists express
great satisfaction over the outlook
Wisconsin has four plants for the
breaking and cleaning of hemp, They
are the Rock River Hemp Mills, Wau-
pun; Matt Rens factory, between
Waupun and Brandon; the Wisconsin
Hemp company, Brandon, and the
Badger Hemp company, Fairwater.
Each of these factories is in the cen
ter Of a considerable hemp growing
district. Besides those already run
ming, at least seven more such plants
have been contracted for, it is stated
A. H. Wright, field crops depart
ment, College of Agriculture, has just
returned from a tour of the hemp
growing regions OF Kentucky, Ohio,
Missouri, Indiana, and Washington,
where he represented both the Wis
cons1n institution ana the United
States department of agriculture Mr.
Wright expresses the main points at
hand thus:
Wisconsin increased it's hemp pro-
duction from 1900 acres In 1916 to
1000 acres in 1917. Practically all the
hemp marketed from Wisconsin goes
out as rough hemp and is bought by
eastern spinning mills, especially
those at Andover, Mass and New York
city. The price paid for the 1916 crop
ranged from 13 to Is cents a pound
to the Wisconsin producers. The 1917
crop is still in the fields 1t must be
retted by natural weathering and
then taken to the mill and put
through the break before it will be
ready"

At the Theatres

"The Apple-Tree Girl'-being the
story of little Miss Moses rwho tried
to find the answer to things that puz-
zled her by methods of arithmetic
will be shown at the Classic Sunday.
Even in working out the problem of
life, love and all things" by mathe-
mates, one sometimes finds that love
is to be chosen rather than great
riches. Shirley Mason IN the leading
part is not Shirley Mason as Char
lotte Marlin-she is Charlotte Marlin
and one watches breathlessly the
psychological phases through which
she passes. While the great interest
centers in this struggle of a young
girls soul, the production is full of
action, fun and human interest. Ray
Mckee is the hero and Joyce Fair
shows great ability in her role of "the
other girl "The Apple-Tree Girl" is
story of more than ordinary charm
and interest. Ray Mckee is making a
name for himself as an actor of UNI
usual versatility and he and Shirley
Mason are excellent foils for each
other in this play of modern times.
The attraction at the Classic to-
night will be Grace on a Shopping
Tour" 1t is style show that will par
tlcularly appeal to women, for the
gowns shown are exceptional and
show clearly the trend of present
styles. Individual gowns costing as
much as $500 are worn by the models.
The case OF an actress sacrificing
herself for her art is no better exem-
plified than in the performance of
Fannie Ward, the clever Lasky-Para-
mount star who will be seen at the
Majestic Sunday and Monday in the
production of ''The Crystal Gazer"
The finest specimens of Navajo
rugs, Indian basketry and beadwork
are seen in the Metro wonderplay
"The Trail of the Shadow" starring
Emmy Wehlen, to be shown at the
Majestic Saturday.

RETURNS FROM ACROSS OCEAN.

A. w. Bloom, commonly known as
BILL" returned from seven months
trip to his old home in Sweden, and is
highly pleased with the fact that he
has once more landed safely In the
good old U. s. A." where hog and
hominy are still within reach even If
fellow does have to tiptoe some to
reach them. Bill left here on the 10Th
of last October, and left Norway for
the return trip on the 4th day of May.
In coming back their vessel went some
600 miles out of its way to avoid the
field of operations of the elusive and
destructive submarines with which the
kaiser is policing the seas. Bill says
there is plenty of work in Sweden now,
but food is very scarce and the people
are being allowanced, and the rations
are pretty short. The weather there has
been as bad as can be imagined, and
farm operations are away behind and a
crop shortage is almost certain.
A young relative of Mr.. Blooms re-
turned with him and will make his
home here.

u. s. MARSHALL MARTIN VISITS
(lRANGEVTLLE.

u. s. Marshall Thomas Martin Of
Boise arrived in the city Tuesday
night on official business. Mr.. Martin
was a guest of the commercial club
at luncheon Wednesday and In, neat
speech, filled with good fellowship and
encouragement paid the highest tribute
to our little city, to our country, "the
garden spot of the state" and to the
personnel of the commercial club and
the wide awake enterprise the MEM
bers were displaying In their efforts
for civic improvement and the con-
construction of good roads, the north
and south highway being up for dis
cussiOn at the meeting. Mr.. Martin
said the citizens of Boise were looking
forward to the completion of the state
highway, which is to connect the two
ends of the state In commercial and
social fellowship, with the same eager
ness that is being manifested in the
northern section, and that he was de-
lighted to see the interest In the mat
ter that was being shown by our peo-
pie. Mr.. Martin is an effective off
hand speaker, and touched the right
chord to get a ready and sympathetic
response from his hearers.
