DIRECTOR IS PLEASED
WITH LOCAL PLAY TALENT

Sanford. Dodge, the experienced d.
rector of the comedy, "Are You a
Mason" is much pleased over the
showing made by the talented local
players who. are to appear in the
performance. =,
: These young people are all en-
thusiastic, and enthusiasm is the
foundation of the farce comedy spirit.
One reason why road companies do
not make better showings at times is
because the members lose the spon-
taneity necessary to give their work
freshness, by constantly retelling the
same story. Local players, however,
have no such handicap and can throw
themselves whole heartedly into their
respective roles and thereby interest
their audiences by being interested
themselves.
Are You a Mason" will be pre-
sented under the auspices and for
the benefit of the Ralph Oracle post
of the American Legion on two days
during the latter part Of this month.
The exact dates will be announced
later.

Practically No Improvement Il
Noted in Wool Situation t
in Past Week !!
NO MARKED CHANGES
MADE IN GRAIN MARKET
Car Supply Seemingly Very
Irregular But Roads Try
to Supply Farmers

St. Paul, Sept. 9.-Minnesota sheep
raisers are threatening to engage In
the clothing business unless the wool
| market soon shows some sign OF life
and prices for the product start to
return to normal.
.Paradoxial as this statement may
seem, the fact was disclosed in re-
ports from a number of counties to
the Merchants National Bank Of st.
Paul, for it's weekly review OF bust
ness conditions in every county In
Minnesota. In substance, wool grow
ers are threatening to have their pro-
ducts manufactured into blankets,
cloth and other materials rather than
sell it at present market PRICES.
Practically no Improvement was
noted in the wool situation and more
shipments were made to Chicago. The
past week has been one Of exposi-
tion-county fairs and county ex-
hibits at the greatest agricultural ex-
position in the world-the Minnesota
state fair. Heavy purchases Of pure
bred cattle were made by farmers and
cattle mems associations in. many
counties and indications are that de-
spite, the slump in prices for beef cat
tie, the pure bred industry will be
greatly developed in Minnesota this
year.
So far as grain crops are concerned,
reports received during the past week
did not show any marked changes.
Harvesting and threshing evidently
proceeding with unusual speed. Sew
eral crlnty agents reported that
thre~hiag Of large farms was COM
pleteI ahead of schedule. Flowing
demonstrations by tractors are quite
general in the central and southern
counties. Detef animation Of many
farmers to hold their grain crops has
threatened to complicate the freight

Der of reports, farmers are disposing
of their grain in concert and rail-
