PLAY is FULL OF GOOD, CLEAN
HUMOR
Play Had Run of Full Year in Both
New York and Chicago-Original
Players Are Strong Cast.

1T Pays to Advertise" the comedy
drama that enjoyed such tremendous
success during its run of an entire
season, both in Chicago and New York
City, will be seen at the Chautauqua
this year, with the parts taken with
the original company in New York.
The generous patronage and enthus-
iastic receptions accorded dramatic
productions of the Chautauqua has en-
'couraged Mr.. Horner to secure for this
years program the most expensive
dramatic production that he has ever
engaged.
1T Pays to Advertise" was hailed
by the New York critics as the best
comedy Of the decade when it was
produced there two, years ago. 1t
abounds in comical situations and keen
wit. Before the curtain has been
drawn five minutes, the people begin
to see that they are in for an evening
Of real pleasure. The folks will for
get there is such a thing as worry.
debt or misfortune in existence. Com
fort and pleasure and laughter for two
solid hours are assured.
The play is essentially American.
The brand Of humor is characteristic
Of American writer's and the char
acters all have their prototypes in any
American community. The story has
to do with the efforts of the rich,
self-made business man to make his
idle son go to work and show a little
backbone. How the son gets stirred
up thanks TO the goading of clev-
cr stenographer-how he Outwits his
father in business and makes a re-
marlsablc success. all these things
must be seen to be really appreciated

to even guess, and in the cities it was
tolerated because it gave the autoists
an extra hour to exercise their ma
chimes and burn up the surplus gaso-
line. The farmers made little COM
plant last year because they were will
ing to stand anything said to be a
war help. This year, however, it is
different and they claim it is a seri-
Gus drawback to their industry. As it
hurts the greatest industry in the
country and seems to help no one but
pleasure seekers it should be promptly
repealed. And while they are about
it congress would do well to kill the
whole bunch of war time experiments
in legislation.

Crop and Livestock News

There have been light showers in
most sections of the ctate during the
past week, but Ike amount of rainfall
has been insufficient to meet the needs
of farmers and crops are suffering
from want OF moisture. The condition
is most serious in the north central
part of the stase, in parts of Adams,
Boulder, Larimer, Arapahoe, jefferson,
Morgan and Weld counties. The
weather has been generally warm ex-
cept in the southwestern counties,
where the nights have been too cool
for proper growth of crops. In The
San Luis valley and on the western
slope crops generally are in almost
normal condition, while in the remain
der of the state they are below normal,
being as low as 30 per cent in some Of
the north central counties. The damage
from the frost of June l was not so
heavy as was at first estimated, ac-
cording to reports received by the
State Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service. There was considerable loss
to fruits, which will make the crop
perhaps 20 per cent short of what it
would otherwise have been, while most
of the damage to vegetables has been
overcome by replanting. Replanted
|crops generally are badly in need of
moisture.

Range and Cattle Conditions.

Pasture ranges of the state are gem
orally in good condition at this time
except in the north central counties,
where continued dry weather has dam
aged the grass from 25 to 70 per cent.
There was some damage from frost in
most of the forest ranges, but favor
able weather since June l has brought
the grass out in good shape and the
pasture is now in nearly normal eondi-
ton. Livestock have shown marked
improvement in the past weeks as
result Of the favorable range condi-
tions.

At the conclusion of the play you
will all agree that it really does pay
to advertise. The young mans sue
cess is built upon no other founda-
ton than advertising. He creates a
demand for a certain commodity-just
plain soap-but he has no supply.
What he does, however, is to make
his fathers concern buy the trade
mark and the commercial name Of
the article he has advertised.
Redpath-Horner Chautauqua is pay
ing a royalty to Roy Cooper Me-grue
and Walter Hackett, the authors of
at pays to Advertise" for the privi-
Iege of using this comedy-drama for
the Chautauqua program.

Back to The Farm.

Allen Skinner, having been fed up
on metropolitan life through ten years
continuous residence at Granada and
Lamar, has lately found his mind con
tinually wandering away from his
daily duties and seeing visions of the
old farm with large halo enveloping
it. He tried to allay his longing by
subscribing for couple of dozen farm
journals. but the perusal of these only
made the longing of his heart grow
longer, so on Monday he packed his
grip full of the farm journals, bought
q ticket to the old home in Missouri,
asked the ticket agent how much extra
it would be for reserved seat all his
own, and started on his way. By this
time they probably have him at his old
job of turning the grindstone while
they sharpen up all the harvest tools
or else he is out in the paw-paw patch
rustling with the possums for his
breakfast.

Reports on acreage of crops planted
in the state this year, collected by the
county assessors and being compiled
for the use of the Cooperative Crop
Reporting Service, indicate t-at the
acreage devoted to grain sorghums,
sweet sorghums and other forage crops
in eastern Colorado this year will be
fully as large as that of last year, in
spite of the large increase in tho acre
age of wheat. These completed re-
ports still indicate n very heavy de-
crease in the area devoted to field
beans and a substantial decrease in
the acreage of potatoes in all districts
except the San Luis valley. The dam

register as the wife of man about
town? That was the test of love
given the man who wanted to marry

production, starring Mae Murray. He

his heart; then he saw the light and

see an unusually strong photodrama
in which the game of love is played
without limit, see Mae Murray to-
night at the Topic theatre. AS an
added attraction, three big acts of
vaudeville, introducing the popular
Francis E. Curran & Co., entertain
ers, Mr.. Curran being the big fea-
,ure act of the Barnum & Bailey

star does some of the most effective
work of her career as a comedienne.
The story carries with a delightful

right up to the altar, with the flow

The comedy, which will be shown at

unusually interesting setting 1t is
3lso unique because the two principal
characters have the screen entirely

other principal character and with

are holding tie attention and it

On Monday evening they will pre-
sent, "The Music Master"
This beautiful. story, full of humOr,
pathos and uplift, has for its central
figure d great musician of Holland
Anton Won Barwig.
The story opens in Amsterdam. At
this time Won Barwig fills one of
the most coveted positions Of the mu-
sical world of Europe. His wife
leaves him for a rich young Ameri-
can. Won BarWig goes to New York.
There through sixteen years of search
we follow him, see him sink to the
position Of piano player in a dime
museum on the Bowery; then on to
the home of the great New York
millionaire, Henry Stanton, where
he finds his daughter; then on to
Amsterdam, where he goes on his
Second honeymoon.

boarding house in New York where
Won Barwig is a guest; Jennie, her
niece; August Poons, Pinac and Fico,
musicians, who live at Miss Husted's;

CAPTURE A SUSPECT
Atchlson County Clerk Nabs Man He
Thinks Took Pocl1etbcok.

Half an hour after c. NJ. Voelker,
county clerk of Atchison county dis
covered that $50 had been taken from
his pocket at the Atchison station,
aisle of the Santa Fe train. Instantly
he remembered he had seen the man
somewhere. Then, his mind pictured
the scene at the Atchison station half
an hour before and he saw this same
man standing behind him as he placed
his missing pocketbook in his hip
pocket
Voelker notified a Santa Fe detec-
tive of his suspicious. The man was
kept under surveillance on the train.
As the train pulled thru North To-
peka the man became nervous and at
tempted to get off. He was stopped
>by the detective and when the train
pulled into the Santa Fe station. the
Topeka police were notified and the
man arrested.
He gave his name as B. Runnefs
and claimed to be a travelling sales
man for an eastern rubber company.
The contents of his travelling bag re-
vealed several hats and clothes which
the police said could be used easily in
making a quick change of garments.
In a cigaret box. they found SO
bill which had been torn into bits and
partly burned. A sedrch of the mans
person at first revealed nothing in
eliminating. Later, he was stripped
and a more careful search revealed
$40 in currency and a diamond ring
sewed in a hidden pocket on the in
side Of his trousers.
Runnels maintains his innocence.
But, he has offered to pay back the
$50 to the Atchison county clerk. The
police say a warrant probably will be
! issued against Runnels late today.

Cleveland, Sept. 1.-THE conven-
ton of the United Mine workers of
America went on record today against
the lone big union" 1. w. w. and kin
dred movements, indorsing President
Lewis Sharp condemnation of these
radical tendencies. The question came
up during the consideration of the re-
port of President Lewis. A commit
tee recommendation approving the ac-
ton of the international executive in
revoking the charter of the West
Canadian miners for joining the one
big union organized at Winnipeg this
summer. was adopted with only one
dissenting vote. 1t was stated that 95
per cent of the seceders were now back

The convention advocated calling an
international mining congress as pro-
posed by the British miners and
recommended steps to bring about a
general old age pension system by
legislation.
