WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT

Though the show has been pro- duced before in stock, it has always been in the larger citys, and never at popular prices. Very few manag- CTS have had the nerve to stage the productions, inasmuch as the cost ax- ceeds the amount of staging two or dinary dramas, but in keeping with the policy of the Lyric to present nothing but the best plays possible to procure, theatre-goers will have the opportunity to witness the largest pro- duction shown in this city since ''The Roundup"
 Incidentally, the premiere of "His Last Dollar will also be the debut of one of the most popular ingenues in dramatic stock. The present ingenue. Miss Elise Bartlett, leaves the Poli players tonight, to do leads in MT. Polls Washington, D. C., theatre, and Miss Jean Wardley, formerly in- genue with Olga Petrova, will tSke her place.

ENGLAND CUTTING WHEAT
 CONSUMPTION ONE HALF

Washington, Nov. 5.-Under the new regulations of war rationing, England has taken upon herself the task Of reducing wheat con sumption for the forthcoming year to 'ess than half the normal con sumpticn before war began.
 Before the war normal consump- tlon OF flour in England amounted to 5T 67S,571 barrels, or 23S pounds per capita per annum. This flour was Il per cent extract, which means that T per cent of the wheat was extracted from the flour and the rest went into by-Droducts, used principally for stock food.
 On February 2, 1917, the first war rationing went into effect This was followed by others, and on September l the milling regulations were so changed as to provide S1 per eeut flour extraction and the compulsory admixture of other gra. ns of 20 per cent. The con- supmtion under this regulation Is estimated at only 26,382,S57 bar rels, or less than 119 pounds per capita, and less than half the nor nal wheat flour consumption in peace times.
 Commencing on September IT the British Government fixed the stand ard price of flour at $7.3S per bar rel and the uniform price for bread at IS cents for a 4-pound loaf, with a 1-pound loaf at cents.

The Northern mer- chant shipped them in an effort to aid the Matanuska Farmers Asso- citation and also to help solve the food problem, and did not even put a price on them.
 If you can sell these turnips at any kind of 8 price do so," wrote MT. Shonbeck. q think perhapS you can sell them at the canton ment. I have prepaid the freight, If you wish any more I can pro vide fifty tons. We want to help solve the food problem"
 MT. Emerson sold the first ship ment of fifteen tons so quickly that the boys at Camp Lewis did not get a chance at them, so he cabled an order for the other fifty tons of turnips and rutabagas. The Al askq engineering commission made special rates for this shipment on the transport Crook, which arrived recently, bringing the turnips.-Se- sttle P. l. ':. . ]

Rains Benefit Oklahoma Wheat.

Oklahoma City, OAK, Aprl l2.-
Gentle rains which have fallen in
practically every section Of Oklahoma
during the last - hours have greatly
benefited Oklahomas wheat crop. ac-
cordnG TO a statement issued today
by President Frank N. Gault. Of the
state board OF agriculture. The sky
IS 3'ill overcast and prospects are
favorable for more rain.
The rain, according 10 Mr., Gault,
will serve to check the high winds OF
the past week and give the wheat
chance to recover. The fact that the
rain fell slowly and cloudincss has
prevailed in every section will allow
the plant to obtain the fullest bcne-
fit.
In certain sections OF northwestern
oklahoma, where the drouth has
been the most severe in many years
and where the high winds seriously
injured the crop on some farms, an
average yield may be expected where
enough of the plant was left standing
to insure profitable handling.
