THEATRE AUDIENCES.
A Sermon For Those Who Arrive Late
and DEPART Early.

A Sermon For Those Who Arrive Late
and Depart Early.
1t is one Of our most hallowed na-
tional customs not to go into theater
until the curtain has risen. If by some
stupid Llunder we have arrived pune
tually we smoke a cigarette in the
lobby.
So the cunning playwright takes care
not to start his story until at least five
minutes later. He occupies these five
minutes with colorless scene Of some
kind just to keep the groundlings
amused. In some cases he will begin
each act in the same way. 1t depends
on how fashionable his audience is and
how thirsty. For converse reason he
must finish his play five minutes be-
fore the final curtain falls.
Another Of our national customs Is
to leave the theater the moment Ed
win has embraced Angelina, although
the author may have reserved quaint
comedy touch or a dramatic surprise
for the actual end.
1t is no use altering the hour Of per-
Torrance. Begin at midnight If you
like; we shall not come until five min
utes after. Leave of at 10; we shall
60 out five minutes before. 1t Is in the
blood. The idea that an audience owes
any consideration to authors or actors
is entirely foreign to us. The very
suggestion of 1t is almost an imperd-
nence.-Louis N. Parker In New York
Times.

Ames.-Iowa is on the job in the
present food crisis and is producing
and conserving as never before. So at.
firm Ames experts who are In close
touch with the food production situa'
ton in Iowa.
DR.. George M. Chapel, state crop
reporter, and the field men Of the az
ricultural extension department at
Iowa State college, Ames, say that
Iowa's crops this year will show a
large increase over anything she has
ever produced If favorable weather
conditions prevail from now until the
crops have matured.
Figuring prices conservatively as
same as last year, Iowa promises to
produce crops worth $677 ,500,OOU THIS
year, or an increase of $50 ,000,00 over
last year and of $3O4,232,0OO over the
average for the last ten years. This
takes no account of the value of the
live stock, dairy, poultry and honey
production of the state.
Add to this some 100000 quarts
of canned stuff, worth $10,00O,VUU, as
tho bit donated by the housewives Of
Iowa, which is really war food con-
tribution since it releases other food
for export, this gives a fair idea Of
Iowa's food production activity.
Iowa's largest increases this year
will come in corn, oats, potatoes and
garden crops. Under favorable wealth.
er conditions she should produce AGO.
100000 bushels of corn, or an increase
Of 100000 bushels over last year;
200,000,000 bushels of oats and 10000
900 bushels of potatoes.

Red Foxes Mate For Life.

for years in succession, always have
