"Freekles" in Barton Saturday Night.

"Freckles," a dramatiZation of one
of the most widely-read books IN the
past decade, by Gene Stratton-Porter,
is announced for Seayer's hall, Bar
ton, on Saturday evening, in which
VIM. c. Thompson is featured as
Freckles.
From literary standards there have
been few greater nature stories writ
ten. That it has been marvelously
popular is attested by the fact that
over five million persons have read It
When one has read story there is
always a desire to see it played; 10
see the characters In real life, and
this is undoubtedly the most impor-
tant reason for the success of
"Freckles" as a song play. During
its trial performance il drew record
breaking audiences, and with unanl-
nous acclaim the prophecy went
forth that its success as song play
would equal its unqualified success
as a novel On regular tour TINS
season, with a complete scenic equip
ment and strong company OF artists
and singers it is playing 70 capacity
audiences everywhere. Only oy
reason Of an open date between larR-
er towns is Barton favored with this
play.
Under the management and dlree-
ton Of the Broadway Amusement Co,
known from coast TO coast as pro-
ducers Of nothing but clean, healthy
dramatic attractions, this song play
hit is making theatrical history. This
Is not a moving picture.

Dairy Survey from March to IL.

Plans are well under way for run
ming the dairy survey. There is
chairman in charge of each communl-
ty in the county, and working with
each chairman is a group of SIX to ten
men. Each committeeman will OBJ
tain the following information about
the dairy interests of the ten or tif
teen farmers in his immediate vicini-
ty.
1. Breed of cattle?
=. Number of cows, heifers, bulls?
3. Registered, grade or common
stock?
4. Stock for sale?
This survey will enable the Farm
Bureau to get in touch with all the
registered stock breeders and to en-
deavor to interest men using common
or grade bulls in using registered ami
mails with backing behind them.
In the series of meetings recently
held in this county, c. NJ. Camburn,
in his talk on Cooperative Bull Asso-
Citations, brought out some very strik-
ing facts as to the value of such an
organization.
l. In the United States there are
II bull associations, each association
farmers The farmers belonging to
each association have access to bulls
OF high breeding and their original
investment of from S75 to 5000, de-
pending on their size herd and quality
of bulls, by the association, carries
them over a period of six to ten
years.
?. At Roland, Iowa, a census was
made of the value of scrub bulls in
one community. The average value
proved to be S87 apiece. Twelve of
the farmers in this community pool
ed their interests and purchased four
bulls at about $3.50 apiece to take the
place of the II bulls of inferior breed
ing which they originally owned.
g. The results of one bull associa-
ton at New Windsor, Md, have
proven beyond doubt the value of
such an organization. The dams on
which these registered association
bulls were used were ordinary grade
cows. The figures below give the
average butterfat production Of the
daughters of association bulls COM
pared with that of their dams.

 ried on toward the Tonopah Divide, and it is thought that it will pick up the big ore body of that property within a short time, the rake being toward the Gold Zone. The Tonopah Divide also has gold vein that so far has been untouched, but which is to be developed as soon as the big ore bodies on the silver vein have been ex- plotted on the new level.
 A. I. Darcy, who was consulting engineer for several of the Oatman mines few years ago, is consulting engineer for the Tonopah Divide and is directing the development of that great property. He, believes the mine to be the greatest property over open ed in the Silver State and that the new district is to become more famous than Goldfield or any of the other great mining camps, of the west.

Bagg has looked after the cyanid- ing department for the leasers, the men breaking the ore in the mine, running it through the mill and filling the five fifty-ton tanks before cyanide operations were begun. After the ore was depleted of it's gold content the men again began the work of break ing ore for another run. In this way the plant was kept going about three months year by small crew of min- CTS.
 S. c. Bagg, who has disposed of his interest to MT. Bell, has been at the Cyclopic mines over ten years and during that time has taken out many thousands of dollars in gold. In abil- ity to operate the mine and mill on a large scale is the cause for selling the property. With large plant and the mine opened through the lower grade deposits the property ought to be one of the large gold producers of the state.

The new company is at present driving tunnel from the gulch to connect with the main shaft 300 feet north of the adit. This will give 100 feet of depth and block out about 30,000 tons of ore. Air con nection will also be made with the shaft, which will give ventilation to other parts of the mine and allow of the further driving of drifts with out the use of air current from blower.

What the Red Cross is Doing

ed from an eight-dayi tour of inspec- tion during which they covered 1,50O miles and distributed food, clothing and medicines in twenty cities and numerous villages. Everywhere they found typhus, the ravages of which had practically wiped out whole towns.
 At Chelm there were 800 women whose husbands had emigrated to- America before the war. They had not heard from them in, more than, four years. The offer of the Red Cross workers to forward letters to the United States was accepted with great rejoicing. About thousand of these letters have been sent to all parts of America by the Red Cross.
 The Pacific Division Red Cross Bureau of Communication has been advised by Washington that the Uni ted States list of missing men ap- proximates $500 In this number, the Pacific Division has small per centage. . -
