Back To The Farm

Back to the Farm" is a gen
uine rural play. It tells the
story of farm lad who saw big
things in agriculture. He want
ed to go away to school to learn
how to make the farm more
intereresting place to live on.
His father, a farmer of the old
school, objected. The lad per-
sisted and finely went away.
The four years at college were
long and hard He worked his
way thru but he stuck it out.
He turned down an offer from
the college authorities. He went
back to the old farm and made it
the best farm home in the land
The play is clever comedy and
takes we'll every way.
THE LITTLE COUNTRY
THEATRE PLAYERS who are
to present this drama of county
life in Hope, Friday, August3rd,
have achieved great success on
many occasions. A little over
year ago three crowded houses
greeted them in THE TITTT n
COUNTRY THEATRE. Over
1000 people witnessed it in one
of Fargo's largest halls. Just
last January over 5000 farmers
saw the play at the Tri-state
Grain Growers Convention in
the Fargo Auditorium: All pro-
nounoed it excellent. The char
acter of Gus, the hired man,
creates a sensation because of
the homley use of the Scandin.
avian dialect. At Armenia, Har-
vey, Aneta and Fessenden, as
we'll as several other communit-
les in North Dakota, farmers
have come in to greet the play
from Is to 80 miles around. It
is safe to predict record break
