AT THE NOVELTY, the bill is not so
much, but for some reason the crowd
the surprising thing about it lies in the
fact that what one would expect them to
sit silently all the way thru. is the very
one that gets them going most. 1t comes
at the finish of the program and is staged
by the monkeys Prof. Raffin has brought
to Topeka.
Tyler and St. Clair, open the bill with
a monster Xylophone and do some of the
usual stuff in the way of popular music

is rather rough and STACEY. but they man

the comedy skit "Mr. Chaperone' have
been here before but their act went over
just as good if they were making their
little miss who can and does dance How
ever, there is something the matter with
the act. One expects something TO happen
and it never does.
AT THE ORPHEUM there is another pic
ture with genuine appeal, a plot which I'M
folds nicely and an interest which holds
appropriate title for this play. Jack Mower
is just the type of man to play n leading
part. Airline Pretty is really pretty anu
can act In fact, the sky pieces come off
to the entire cast for nifty acting.
The Southern Harmony Four" is pro-
sumed to be some quartet but no one can
hear the singing on account of the noise
made by the orchestra. Here's hoping the
time will come when quaretets will put the
really harmonic they don't need an aux
iliary uproar to drown out their voices.
AT THE ISIS there is a picture which
is away above anything seen there during
the last month. 1t is infinitely better than
the title would indicate. "A Mans Home"
is the name of it and it depicts some of
the problems that a rich man-as well as
poor man-has a face, but althO this is
old stuff it is put in n rather new way.
Admirers of KathIyn Williams see her
at her best in this picture. Harry Morey
also makes a hit and the acting of Faire
Binney, Matt Moore and Grace Valentine Is
of n high order.
1t partakes little of the sex stuff but
the line Is so rigidly drawn that, no fault
can be found on this account. This play
will make man stop and think about his
home.
AT THE CRYSTAL-In "The Problem
Eternal poverty, love and crime each
plays an active part. Joe Moore is both
father and mother to crippled kid broth
er. Losing his job-that of an expert
on locks with the manufacturer of steel

big safe robbery, Joe finds it difficult to
keep the wolf from the door. To get mon

prices and productions outside OF their
own immediate districts, and indirectly by
preventing exposing the circulation OF
false and misleading reports by those who
are interested in controlling or manipu-
lating prices. Also, crop reports benefit
the farmers thru enabling the manufac
turing firms, agricultural implement and
hardware concerns, and railroad com
panies, to most inteIigently meet the
producers needs as may be determined by
crop prospects and productions.
Few realize how much is saved by an
even distribution of manufactured articles
according to crop prospects. If manufac
turers avoid heavy losses from improper
distribution, they can afford to sell on
better terms, with resulting benefit to
farmers. The railroads of the country
which move crops from the farm to the
market, must know in advance the prob
able size of the crops in order to provide
cars to handle it without delay. Cases are
not infrequent when prices of grain at
railroad stations are reduced or there is
absolutely no sale for the grain. because
cars are not available. The carrier the in
formation regarding probable production
of the great agricultural commodities can
be published, the more safely and econom-
iCally can the business of the country be
managed from year TO year. and all this
cannot be other than beneficial to the pro-
ducers.
Crop reporting is not only of distinct
service to the farmer, but it is as well the
balance wheel of business"

WHEAT CROP NEEDS RAIN
In Some Portions of State 1t Has
Ycliowish or BrOwnisi1 Color and
Is Making No Growth.


Last week was the chilliest of the
season in Kansas, but failed to bring a
fall of moisture to any of the state,
except the northeastern and north
central counties. where light rain and
flurrieS of snow fell on the morning
Of the 14th. These were, however,
inadequate for present needs. Tenn
peratureS reached freezing on several
nights and readings as low as II 10
20 degrees occurred in the western
counties.
Wheat in the central and western
portions of the state continues to de-
teriorate as a result of the long spell
of dry weather. Except in some of
the extreme northwest counties and
the eastern third, it has a yellowish or
brownssh color and is making little or
no growth. Reports indicate a con-
siderable per cent of it, as much as
40 per cent in localities, can not re-
cover even with early rains or snow.
Some has not been sown yet and in
the western counties a great deal has
not terminated. In the eastern third
of the state wheat, especially the early
sown is still looking good and fur
n.shlng pasture for many head of
stock. The late sown, tho, is getting
poor start and all of it is needing
rain badly. Very few parts of the
state report evidences of Hessian fly.
The weather continues fine in all
sections for husking corn, which is
making rapid Roadway towards COM
pletion. From 10 to % per cent of
the grain sorghums have been
threshed and some heavy producing
counties in the southern part report
as much as IS per cent threshed.

THE New York World protests a
gainst the sale of the government
fleet Of useless, rotting wooden ships
at 50, 100 each because they cost from
$500, GOO to $500. 900 each. What a
thing cost the government under the
Wilson administration, was no indica-
ton whatever of its value. The wood
en- ships were the product of wooden
heads in high places. They were built
with reckless disregard for cost, and
when completed were found to be SO
costly Of operation that the value of
the coal used in their navigation was
about as much as the revenue from
freight. The salvage from world war

duplicate this amount during the past
five years. This large sum has been

provide an amount at least equal to
half it's apportionment from the joint

many years and an exhibitor for six
consecutive years. This year we had
an extremely early season and then the
fair came late enough for the farmers.
Most years the grain is not cut by Aug
ust 5th. The farmer makes the fair
what it is, and we noticed it at the last
fair in the way the classes of live stock
were filled out They had ample time
to condition and groom their stock.
If the date of the fair must be
changed, and ! presume it must, let's
hold it the week after Platteville. This
would be the week which Lancaster
holds theirs, but that would have little
bearing on the matter.
