are wondering which will jump hard

''My Soldier
Giri''

The audience that assembled at the
Grand Opera house last night to wit
ness a representation of my Soldier
Girl" one of the latest of score OF
musical comedies now on the road. ap-
peared to be satisfied with the jokes
of the comedians and accepted at Its
face value the vocal efforts Of the per-
formers. Costumes worn by the chorus
and women principals were artistic
ally beautiful albeit somewhat abbre-
waited. None of the musical numbers
will live long through repetition, yet
one, Wrap Me UP in a Bundle of
Love-" has possibilities in tunefulness.
With only the shadow of plot, my
Soldier Girl" got by, chiefly owing to
the Intimate relation established be-
tween the audience and the chorus,
which resorted to the old-time runway
device as an aid to that intimacy, and
the great number of pretty dance num-
bers introduced.

for Iowa is September 18th to the
2Sth. There is an abundance Of ex-
cellent corn in most of the state
this year, and it will be sufficiently
matured to insure nearly perfect
termination If the seed is properly
picked and stored @While We have
this opportunity" says Agent Clare.
"let us store enough seed to insure
us against the worry of last spring
for at least two years.
THE southwestern portion Of the
state will probably want to buy some
seed for next year. Naturally they
will want to buy from section Of
about equal latitude. That means
the southeastern part is likely to be
called on for some of the seed they
will need. 1t Is not likely that one
will hang up too much good seed.

good as his neighbours, he can doubt
less arrange to secure seed from
