Keys to Baldpate," George NJ.

That alone is enough to assure its
success, for it's a rare combination.
and one that is certain to prove an
interesting bill for the followers of
the Lafayette Players.
The story of the play centers about
young novelist, William Hallowell
Magee, who is attempting to complete
novel within twenty-four hours on
a wager, and his hair-raising expe-
riences at Baldpate Inn, which he has
chosen as the spot for his labors.
Baldpate Inn is situated atop a lofty
mountain, and at the time of our
story, the dead of winter, is inhabited
only by caretaker and his wife.
Magee is supposed to possess the only
and original key to Baldpate-but
after he arrives there and starts in
on his story six other keys make their
appearance and divers individuals
ntrude upon his privacy, with a
series of startling results.
Just as the audience believes it is
all nicely figured out and the mystery
solved, they find that their solution
is all wrong, for the events which have
been Transporting upon the stage have
been but scenes from the novelist's
story and Peter, the Hermit and the
rest OF the crowd but characters come
to life. It's a rafting good bill. and
one that will prove a real thriller.
There will be 4 sDecial Thankspivinfr

COOPERATIVE BUYING SAVES
Instance Cited in Action Of Florida
Farmers Clubbing Together to
Buy Poison.

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
An instance of the value of cooper
tive buying is found in the recent ac-
tion of group of farmers in Orange
county, Florida, who combined their
orders for carbon bisulphid and placed
them through their county agent. The
purchase totaled 1000 pounds and the
material was secured at a saving Of
SO cents pound under the price that
would have been charged for individ-
ual purchases in small quantities, so
that the deal represented saving of
$3.50 to these farmers. This carbon
bisulphid will be used in fumigating
the corn to kill corn weevils. Losses
from this source sometimes are as
much as 20 per cent. The farmers
who are planning to fumigate their
corn either have remodeled their old
cribs to make them alright or have
built new ones.
