The musical comedy "farmerette"
is now as familiar an inItitution as
the musical comedy bathing girl.
Hawaiian girls. harem girls, golf
ing girls. military girls, baseball girls
and bathing girls, OF course. Each
costume change means different
song. and as each show carries about
the same assortment the rotation be
comes monotoHous. So they invented
the stage farmerette in silk overalls
with a hayfork like an oyergrown
fly-swatter
In the meantime, at the State Nor
NAL school OF Agriculture, Wisconsin,
young lady whose name is with
held went through the coursclike a
ripsaw through a plank. She mixed
forms. and investigated CRATES of
wheat for stripe ergot and smut; she
studied surveying, and plated 24O
acre farm; she made elaborate milk
tests. wrote theses on stock breeding,
inhaled the science Of crop-rotine,
and. for some inartistic reason, made
speciality OF pigs. That the lady was
raised on a fam is not considered by
the faculty as contributing in great
measure to the profundity of her
erudition.
There are plenty more like her in
Wisconsin, and, thank Heaven, there
are still more outside Wisconsin. II
is type OF famerette that interests us
quite a. much as the musical comedy
kind. Show troupes don't flock much

who can don oyeralls mot silk ones)
and take the place of boys as effecti-
yely az the most boyish chorus girl
that Broadway ever generated
Cleaning a hogpen is not an ele-
giant job. Anu there is little elegance
In washing vermin from the filthy
body of a wounded soldier com
monplace in the daily experience of a
Red Cross girl. Not many duties are
more unsayory-or more sacred, and
the picture needs no spotlight to IL
Illuminate its glittering moral.

that he was no good Is very wrong,
II took n man to make good In the
