For the Man She Loved"

A plot possessing an unusual a
mount of novelty and originality, a
story in the development Of which
interest is not only maintained but
grows with cumulative strength
from beginning to end and charact-
ers that are accurately fitted in their
relation to each other and to the
various incidents of the play, are
some of the merits ascribed to the
melodrama For the Man She Loved
which will be shown at the Opera
House, Saturday. September 9Th.
The central figure in the story is
Mary Ballard, sincere type of sac
rificing and unselfsh womanhood,
and it is devotion to the man she
loves and her faith in him when he is
convicted of crime of which he is
innocent, which suggests the title Of
the play. A murder mystery which
has been adroitly handled by the
author, battles the minds Of auditors
and Is not cleared mp till Just before
the fall of the final curtain.
A full measure of comedy relief is
supplied in rational manner in re-
lstion to the serious side of the play
A. Forest Taylor and Miss Ada
Daniels are both members of the
company presenting this play, which
is sufficient guarantee to local theatre
goers. Don't forget date, Sept. 9Th

In Crop Campaign.


Denver.-Thomas J. lyman. war
den Of the Colorado state penitentiary
at Cafon City. sent the following let
ter to President Wilson:
"Coloradops state penitentiary is al
ready actively taking its part in the
states effort to follow your advice,
Grow. grow, grow It is using all the
available man power of Its $50 pris-
oners to increase the production of
food.
"As a patriotic duty in this national
and international crisis, the peniten-
tiary will devote practically its entire
energies to increase Of the food sup
ply. The institution already has un-
der lease state lands which 1t has
/ been farming with marked success.
The land to be cultivated this year
will be increased 1000 acres or more.
"By this increased farming effort
the penitentiary expects to produce
this year considerable surplus of
foodstuffs above the amount neces-
sary for its own support. This sur
plus will be turned over to the state
for use as 1t deems wise.
May not suggest. as an aid to in
crease food production, that the fed
eral government urge all states, as
well as superintendent Of federal
penitentiaries, to utilize Immediately
their trustworthy prison population in
crop production according to Colora-
dos plan? This would mean placing
at farm work so per cent of all the
men now confined in the prisons OF
the United States, and would put at
work on the soil many thousands Of
men now either idle or engaged in
less profitable pursuits than crop pro-
duction.
ut is my belief that upon sugges-
ton from you the governors of the
different states would willingly en-
ploy the convicts of their states in
similar labor. The result of this en-
ployment of the prisoners would, in
my humble judgment. prove surpris-
ing in the increase of production and
the relief Of mankind"

to prevent the air from entering the
windows freely.
It is a mistaken idea that ivy vines
keep the house damp. They keep
1t dry. as the little suckers, which
cling to the walls, suck the moisture
from the walls instead Of attracting 1t
to them.
As soon as the potted plant fills the
pot in which it is planted with roots,
give them larger pot or prune 1t
down and prune the roots 80 as to
make fewer of them. Unless this Is
done the plant soon becomes pot
bound and begins to deteriorate.
Geraniums grow very easy from
seeds, as do coleuses. Plant the seed
in very fine soil in a box, covering the
box with glass, or, better yet, muslin
stretched over aframe. Give the lit
tie plants plenty Of air as soon as they
begin to throw out the third leaf.
Many interesting varieties may be
grown in this way.
I like to see flowers about house
and doorway. do not remember to
have eter seen an anarchist wearing
a buttonhole bouquet or very bad
citizen whose house and yard con-
tanned flowers.
Balsams show to best advantage
when they are pruned to one straight
stem. Pinch on every side branch,
and the single stalk left will be com
pletely covered with mass Of bloom.
All flowers keep in bloom much
longer, and the flowers are larger, If
not allowed to form seeds. Pinch off
every flower as soon as 1t begins to
fade. This is especially true Of sweet
peas and pansies.

FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Flowers should have friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. They
often make brave display in rather
poor sell, but they appreciate good
care.
Do not plant flower plants too close
together. Verbenas should be at least
lS inches apart; petunias the same
phlox foot; pansies 10 inches; zin-
Mas 1S inches; marigold 2 feet; pop
pies 10 inches. II flowers are too close
in the bed they will not make thrifty
growth nor will the flowers be as
large and plentiful.
Keep flower beds out Of the center
Of the lawn. They show with better
effect If used as borders for walks
and around the sides of the lawn.
Do you want soft, thick turf on
your lawn? II so, NOW often with a
lawn mower and let the clippings lie
where they full. They will soon settle
in the grass and after awhile they
will make cushiony soft coat, which
keeps the soil from drying out too
much, and fertilizes 1t as they decay.
If the lawn Is little bumpy, fill the
depressions little ut time with
fine garden soil. Put half an inch OF
soil on at time, and let the grass
grow through 1t before putting on any
more. In this way lawn can be
made smooth in the course of a season
or two without being torn up and lying
bare for months.
Do not plant shade trees too near
theohouse. Give the air a chance to
circulate round and through the house.
Set the trees SO as to shade windows
during the hottest hours, If you want
them shaded, but never close enough

PLANT GRAPEvINEs FOR

tention. It can be made to cover a
side fence ss dense hedge, or trained
over trellis or up shade trees.

most any wood or along bushy fence

!. fall or winter. Grapevines OF every de-

LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS.

Speaking for the newspapers which
refuse to carry liquor advertisements
some $50 dailies in the United States
Mr.. Schermerhorn, editor Of the De-
troit Times, says:
"We believe that If a newspaper car
ries on Its first page the story Of a
tragedy caused by liquor and on an
other page a guaranteed cure for
drink, and on still another page asks
everybody to have drink-that the
whole process is as inconsistent as
when the nurse marries the under
taker to catch the patient coming and
going. We believe that for a news
paper to take liquor advertising is to
do behind the bar what the bartender
is doing in front Of the bar"
