BIG DEAL IN SUGAR LANDS.
Frank B. Williams Buys Godchaux
Plantations, Railway and Sawmill.

From a recent issue of the Plaque
mines parish Lower Coast Gazette we
copy the following:
Frank B. Villains, the well-known
lumberman, is reported to have pur-
chased the Godchaux interests in st.
Mary parish, including the Stirling
group of sugar plantations and the
Franklin and Abbeville railway. This
railway, running from Franklin, the
capital of St. Mary parish, through
to Abbeville, the capital of Vermilion
parish, traverses a very fertile sec
ton Of the country for some fifty
miles and insures supply Of sugar
cane for the great Stirling factory.
The parishes of st. Mary and Yer
million have large populations OF
earnest, industrious people. The re-
suits during recent years when the
sugar industry has been in apparent
decay in other parts Of the state have
shown that the maintenance of the
sugar industry depended very largely
on these western sugar parishes, the
old Attakapas country of some years
ago.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Williams will make quite sue
cess of his new venture. The trans
action is reported to have involved
about half million dollars in the en-
tire purchase of the railway, central
factory and the group of plantations.
There is also included in the trans
action the sawmill of the st. Bernard
Cvpress Co., located on the shell
road inst below New Orleans. This
is a first-class sawmill, carrying with
# an immense amount of seasoned
cypress lumber. We wish Mr.. Will
liams every success in his purchases
and welcome him to our lower coast
country as valuable man among our
leading property owners.

"The Happiness of Three Women"


There are three heroes, as well as
4 trio of heroines, in ''The Happiness
of Three Women" which comes to
the Grand Monday. The theme, for
this reason, is unique, and Albert Pay
son Terhune, the author, has dovetail-
ed the different interests together
very deftly. In fact, the twists and
turns of plot recall the workings of
French farce, and admiration for the
neatness with which the dramatist
gets his three sets of loving hearts in
and out of trouble occasionally out
weighs the human interest in the play.
"The Happiness of Three Women"
starts off, apparently, as a comedy,
an innocent enough motor ride taken
by a married woman and former
sweetheart being the first compliea-
ton. A note of real drama gets into
it, however, when the husband of one
of the other heroines is accused of
robbing bank, and the auto riders,
who can prove an alibi for him, dare
not speak for fear of compromising
themselves. The result, which is
never very much in doubt, admits of
a number of clever complications be-
fore it is worked out to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned and the three
sets of loving hearts once more beat
in happy unison. The air of good
breeding and moral worth impaired
to the characters played by House
Peters, Myrtle Stedman, L. W. Steers
and Daisy Robinson lend the right
tone to the story.

Stale Bread and What TO Do With It.
n READ IS one OF the items most
n commonly wasted in many Amer
can households, say the Specialists
OF the United States department OF agrl-
culture This waste is probably due to
the fact that many houSekeepers do not
think OF bread as costing much and are
careless about its use or do not know
Nhat to do with the odds and end, fre-
quently found IN the bread box.
Good fresh bread has a Spongy text
ure which IN time disappears, leaving
the bread dry and crumbly, the moisture
gradually passing out through the crust.
Bread little too stale to be appetitlng
but not vet hard may be freshened by
putting It into the oven for a few min
utes The heat seems to drive the
moisture from the crust back into the
center OF the loaf, making the crust
more Spongy Some housekeepers
molSten the surface OF the bread and
sometimes cover It before putting Z
into the oven, but others think that
molstenlng Injuries the texture OF the
crust without improving the crumb.

Better acquaintance picnics and
meetings will be held generally
throughout the state during the COM
ing summer, the slogan to be "Get

PRESENTATION
OF OPERETTAG GIVEN
BY GLEE CLUB GIRLS

Catchy, jingling, tinkling music,
dispensed by a galaxy of Dickinson's
fairest daughters, supported by the
boys glee club, and a bevy of juve-
niles, in a two-act operetta, "In
lndla," pleased an assemblage which
packed Elks' hall to the doors last
Friday evening, consensus of opinion
OF those who comprised the large
gathering being that the performance
surpassed in excellence any home tai
ent play which has ever before graced
the local stage.
Principal roles were taken bv mem
bers of the Dickinson Girls Glee Club,
and their work showed talent and
painstaking training. Miss Elizabeth
Bradford was director and Miss
Blanche Flanagan accompanist. PLAY
was presented for benefit of Company
K, under auspices of Patriotic Aid
and Federated clubs, and about $12O
was realized for the soldier boys.
Every part vas well taken, from
the leading role to the smallest
chorus part, and it would be difficult
indeed to single out any one perform
er for special mention, as ali are de-
serving of praise. A number of the
roles called for a considerable amount
Of histrionic ability, but those cast for
the parts were fully equal to the &C.
casion, and action Of the operetta pro-
ceeded throughout the entire perform
ance without a hitch. Perhaps de-
serving of special mention were the
solo numbers rendered by Mrs. Mar
lorie Nachtwey, who sang "On the
Road to Mandalay" during the inter-
mission, and responded with two en-
cores, songs of Old Erin, which were
enthusiastically received.
Alice Leary, in the role of Nissan,
the dancing girl, gave a performance
IN the snake and incense dances which
was worthy Of a professional Terpsi-
chorean. Mildred Perkins, in the
Leading role, gave a splendid interpre-
tation of her difficult part, and won
much applause: Neva Duling, the
village scold; Esther Ayers, Margaret
Conner and Doris Deffebach, repre-
sentlng three old women from the
temple; Marian Coffin, Minnie Angliss
and Eva Nelson, who also played
prominent parts, gave m%eritorious
performances also.
Members of the boys and girls
choruses, and the Juveniles, showed
results of the careful training of the
HSo' "SS.no' oAHu oPACA1u1uly SuppOTtcu
the principals.
The juveniles came in for a large
share of the applause during the per-
formance> the march by the small
boys creating great enthusiasm, when
they filed on the stage with a little
lad in the lead proudly bearing Old
Glory. The girls were dressed in
white, with white hats, trimmed in
pink, and the boys CARRIED in white
trousers and black coats, with straw
hats. The ensemble brought round
after round of applause.
Singing of the tots also featured
the play. Bernadette Mccarthy,
dressed as a real grown-up, carrying
a suit case, gave a rendition of $50
Long, Mary" which brought down
the house. Cecil Brodie, singing the
"The Boogie-oogie Man" was gener-
ously applauded. March Militaire by
the boys glee club was likewise we'll
received.
Great credit is due Miss Bradford
for her efforts in making the per-
Torrance such a signal success and
praise is due each and every perform
er. > ~

RED CROSS MEMBERS
PREPARING TO MEET
NEEDS OF SUFFERERS
DICKINSON N. D.

Ladies of the Dickinson Red Cross,
chapter l of North Dakota, have been
busily engaged every Thursday after
noon for several weeks in working on
supplies for base hospitals. Following
articles have been completed and will
be sent to n of the base supply sta
lions within a few days: 36 bed
sheets, "a pillow cases, 26 shirts, 8
%bathrobes, 10 shoulder wraps, 18 suits
.pajamas, "a pairs bed socks, 6 dozen
napkins, 2 dozen tray cloths, Is dozen
wash cloths, IL dozen handkerchiefs,
8 dozen g. and 4-inch bandages, SO
triangular bandages, and 20 comfort
bags.
: AS result of a telegram received by
the chapter last Saturday from head
quarters in Washington, a financial
committee was appointed by the local
Red Cross, consisting of E. J. Hughes,
chairman; Herman Rabe, S. M. Fer
ris, Louis Petricka and A. C.. Pagen-
.kopf. Committee will meet as Don
as possible and plan for a campaign
for necessary funds and it is hoped
that response of the public to the ap-
peal will be a generous one. Seventy
five per cent of the fund raised is to
go to the war council to be used in
buying supplies for immediate use,
which the council can not wait for the
various chapters to supply.
The message states that funds must
be raised Immediately through the
Red Cross organizations, and asks
that every one who can contribute to
the cause, either great sums or small,
to alleviate the suffering and distress
which must inevitably arise from the
great conflict. It is also declared that
not a moment can be lost in preparing
ourselves to meet the pressing calls
from Europe and the emergencies
which will soon confront us at home.
