HAVERSACk THEATER
WILL PUT ON SHOW
Vaudeville OIio and Min
StreIetta Planned
Portable Theater to Furnish
Amusement Free to Soldiers.
First Show to Raise Funds for
Needed Equipment.
No. 20

According to Lieut. e. L. Rafferty, of
the 111th Infantry, who has charge of
the HaverSack Theater when chief of
staff. Col Edward l.. King. and Col
Fuqua came to inspect Col Kings COM
ment was. well. why don't you put on
shown 1nasmuch as the portable or
for overseas use and the company of
actors is not yet fully organized for put
ting on a performance the suggestion
took Lieut.. Rafferty, a little by surprise,
hut not to be outdone the lieutenant who
is thoroughly experienced in stage mat
ters, has determined that show must
be staged to demonstrate the use of the
portable equipment.
Col. Kings comment carried with it the
suggestion that the first performance be
given for raising funds necessary to pur-
chase needed wardrobe and makeup ma
terial. The idea of this theater is to fur
niSh clean amusement free of cost to the
men overseas, and after the first show,
no charge will be made for performances.
The charge to be made in the first show
will be a nominal one and all proceeds
will be used for equipment,
Owing to the strenuous military de-
mands, the soldier actors have not great
deal of time to devote to this enterprise
but every spare moment they have is be-
ing industriously applied to rehearsals
and something good is promised. The per-
Torrance will be in the nature of a Vau-
deville bill, beginning with an olio of diff
ferent acts, and finishing with an after
piece by the entire CASTE This closing
piece will be minstreletta with Gilbert
and SullivaneSque musical effects. Every
one taking part in this performance will
be a talented actor who has had profess
sionaI stage experience, so that when the
show is announced the army public can
know for a fact that real first class
performance viii greet them on the
boards. Watch the date.

TOBACCO CACHE RUlNOR STARTS
NEW YOR KRI0T

New York--An lmportunate crowd
Of dark skinned men who jabbered in
strange tongue in front Of one of the
Syrian shops in lower Washington
street recently was evidence of the
straits to which smokers of the Syrian
colony have been reduced.
The crowd gathered in response to
rumor that the shop keeper had a
whole hogshead of Persian tobacco,
secreted in his shop. 1t took all his
oriental diplomacy to persuade the
throng that he possessed only the
small amount which was plain for all
to see.
The broad leafed Persian tobacco is
used almost exclusively in the nargi-
lehs, without which no Syrian can at
tain contentment. The tobacco which
Is extremely dark, is ground in the
hands, soaked in water, and placed in
the bowl of the nargileh.
A bit of charcoal is placed on top
and kindled the smoker signs in anti
cipation of delight, the water in the
bottle bubbles, and the cool, blue
smoke, such as hos wreathed ire SOM
Der fancies of his fathers, encircles
the smokers head.
To the Syrian the margileh is still
potent token of amity. No home in
Washington street is so poor as to be
without one. No guest is unworthy to
be offered tasselled tube and amber
or ivory mouthpiece.
But the Syrian host now is torn be-
tween his Unborn sence of hospitality
and his own comfort every time a
guest darkens his door. For Persian
tobacco is almost priceless in Wash
ington street Formerly to be had
for from, 40 to 60 cents a pound, the
war has driven it up to SO pound,
and, worse yet, has set an absolute
limit on the number of pounds in New
York.
Little, if any, of the cherished stuff
Is now imported. Many shops have no
more in stock. A rumor of the exist
ence of whole hogshead of 1t is
enough to set all Washington street
by the ears. Nargilehs, too, are no
longer imported, and those made in
this country, by no means so satisfac-
tory to the Syrian smoker, have in
creased in price from 81 to so.

GOVERNMENT GRANARY FOR PIE
GENERAL FARM

Washington, D. C.-In view of the
present high aprices of all grains 1t is
profitable management br every gen.
eral farmer to provide adequate and
dependable storage for these valuable
farm products. The Divisional of Ru-
raj Engineering of the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, United States Department
of Agriculture. has devised an excel
lent arrangement for large granary
adapted for the general grain farm.
This storage is "a by IA feet in floor
dimension and is subdivided into 4
bins, each of which is by 8 feet, and
has capacity of $50 bushels Each
bin is provided with a door through
which the grain may be distributed in
to the storage, while it also has a
protected scoop door through which
the grain can be delivered. The bins
front on an alley way which is by
IA feet, where the seed can be famed
and cleaned or else treated against
disease. In case of emergency, where
the grain crop exceeds the permanent
storage capacity, this space also may
be partitioned off and untitled for
storage, purposes. The total capacity
of the permanent bins is 1900 bush
els, while the emergency space also
available in the central cleaning fiooI
increases the total possible storage tC
over 2.100 bushels.

when completed, will accommodate
