Gene StratOn POrter's Charming
Story Dramatized by
High Class
Company

On Saturday, March 15, because Of
the company having an open date
Baxter people will be given the op'
portunity Of seeing the popular song
drama "Freckles," In their home
town. Most people have read Gene
Straton POrter's charming story Of
this name. The dramatization is full
ly as captivating and this company,
put. out by the Broadway Amusement
company Of New York, Is just as good
as the story. The western circuit in
cludes only the larger cities such as
Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita, To-
peka and Joplin, but on account Of an
error in the bookings the company
will be left ut Joplin next Saturday
with an open date.
The manager Of the Joplin theatre
suggested to the advance man that he
take his company to Baxter. So he
came over Sunday and arranged for
next Saturday night. That is the rea-
son we are to have q high class show
without leaving town.
The fact that there have been more
readers Of this story than any other
book published in q decade fair es-
innate Is in the millions-makes the
dramatization Of the utmost import
ance to the domestic world.
"Freckles" as q song play is strong
er than "Freckles" as q story. The
characters live, love and have adven-
ture,-one can see and hear, there is
left to the imagination. The
Broadway Amusement Co., under
whose management the present tour
is conducted, has made the production
Of "Freckles" exceedingly elaborate,
and has assembled q company Of un-
usual excellence for the presentation
Of this charming song play.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by Freckles and other
characters are by the Vinnese Com
poser, Anatol Friedland, and are
novelty from a musical point Of view.
The Woodland Fantasy played during
the play is q masterpiece. This is not
\ moving picture.
Admission $1.00 and rs cents. Re-
served seats at Grantham's Music
Store.

Great swarlns Of the seventeen
year locust viii infest the United
States in late May and early June
this year, which is expected by scien-
fists TO be one Of the worst "locust
years" on record. Experts Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture at Washing
ton, however, see nothing alarming
In the prospect.
Once regarded superstitiously rs q
harbinger Of disaster, the periodical
cicada, popularity known as the seven
teen-year locust, because 1t comes at
long intervals, Is seen now to be no
more than an ordinary nonpoisonous
insect pest, which can do little damage
II proper precautions are taken. The
chief injury inflicted by the insect con-
sists almost wholly in chiseling
grooves in the branches of trees for
depositing eggs. Young fruit trees
sometimes are killed, but the damage
generally seems greater than It actu-
ally is, according to the entomOlogists
and popular alarm is out Of proportion
to the real danger.
Suggested precautionary measures
are:
Defer putting out young fruit trees
until next year; postpone budding Op-
erations; do no pruning this spring.
When the insects begin coming out
hand pick them from young trees or
spray them with pyrethrum powder
kerosene emulsions or a solution of
carbolic acid or acetic acid.
Later, when the insects are ready to
begin laying, spray young fruit trees
with whitewash.

then you can't expect the small town
cop to work for nothing, can you?
The crisis Is now safely over; We
have met our February gas bill, face

tanned; our cook burned about az

Old Pert Nye, local weather prog
nosticator, prOgnosticates there won't
be much 'tater' plantin' weather til

wait for that time to roll round.
Judging from the conglomeration Of
styleaDin new hats we have about de-
cided TO wear our old one, the vintage
Of 1914, rather than run the guantlet
Of Ed Hyatt trying to sell us some
thing we don't want. We always fall
for just that kind of buy after fully
deciding we can't afford It.
George Rucker says that all good
Methodists 1--WE mean the men) wear

no reason why some of US thin broth

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to "beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as a cold prepares the
system for the reception and develop
ment of the germs Of consumption,
diptheria, scarlet fever and whooping
caugh. The quicker you get rid Of
your cold, the less the danger Of con-
tracing one Of these diseases. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has a great
reputation as q cure for colds and can
be depended upon. It is pleasant to
take,
