NEW THEATRE

OPENS SATURDAY
Beautiful Main-st Movie House Com
pleted; Presents Imposing Appear
arance, Embodying Most Approved
Construction, and Appointment
The following article is taken from
the Hartford (Wis.) Times and the
Theatre referred to is the one owned
by H.A. Leveille, formerly of this city.
The theatre is one of the finest in the
state of Wisconsin.
The "State," Hartford's new movie
show house, without question one OF
the most attractive and finest motion
picture theatres in this section of the
state-a place that would be credit
to city many times the size Of Hart
ford-will be opened to the public for
the first time Saturday afternoon.Dec.
1O,with matinee commencing at 2:3O
o'clock, and an evening performance
starting, at $3.50.
The completion of this new show
house has been eagerly looked forward
to for the past number of months. AS
one addition after another was being
made to the place by carpenters, ma
sons, iron workers and artists, Hart
fordites began to realize that this was
really and truly to be show house Of
super distinction, which for its size
would be the equal Of the states best
in regard to appointment and conven,
ience. Owing to inability to get all Of
the necessary material on hand as
scheduled, the opening of the new
show house had been postponed from
one week to another until this week
when the manager, Mr.. LeVeille, con.
sidered the building completed anc
gave the word that On next Saturday
the place would be dedicated by pre-
senting its first performance.
The erection Of this new amusement
house has created considerable chang.
II the appearance Of Main-st, and it i
now one Of the show places OF tne
town. The former front Of the build
| inr was torn out and replaced with
canopy and modern type theatre front
The structure was heightened TO ont
hundred feet, stage provided IN tn
rear for presentation Of light vande
vile. musical, vocal and special dram
Iatic acts. A new and late type screel
sIis hung upon the wall at the rear 9
the stage. The building IS some q
feet wide and win comfortably sea
1850 people.

BOB ADAMS A REAL RURAL
LIFE POET

No man in America is better equip
ped by birth, training and natural
tastes to write sympathetically and
entertainingly of country life than is
Bob Adams, whose Rude Rural
Rhymes are now regular weekly fea-
ture of this paper.
Born on farm in Hill, New Hamp-
shire, and saddled with the rather i'm
posing name of Robert Morrill, Adams,
he came early to love the hills and the
fields and the things of the country.
When Bob was still youngster his
father became a clergyman which
meant that during the next few years
the family came to know rural life in
three states-Pennsylyania, New York
and Vermont. y
That young Bob might have the ed
ucational advantages which the short
pastorates of country minister made
impossible, he went to live with an
uncle in Haverhill, Mass.
Here he attended the school which
was a continuation of the famous
Haverhill Academy where Whittier
was educated.
Then he taught school in Vermont
and Ohio. Not satisfied with the
schooling he had received, however, he
finally entered Lebanon University in
Ohio from which he was graduated in
1905. The next year he received a
degree from Yale. The same year saw
him in the Philippine Islands as a
teacher of natural sciences and 1gri-
culture. Here he remained until 1912
when he returned to America to be-
come principal Of the high school at
Vineyard Haven, Mass. During his
residence in the Philippines, however,
he twice visited America. Since both
times he went out by the Pacific and
home by Europe he thus was tW1ce
around the world.
Following his principalship OF the
Vineyard Haven school he spent sew
eral years in the government service
in Washington, which work he gave uI
in 1919 to join the faculty Of the New
York State College Of Agriculture a,
Ithaca, N. Y.
Mr.. Adams is married and has one
son.
He comes naturally by his ability al
writer and poet, as his father wrote
verse, mostly of a religious nature
"My style of verse;" whimsicaay de
clares Mr.. Adams, "is the natural re
action of a preachers son..

nearly all the losses are now certified
to the state auditor and the peak of
the work passed.
The number of acres insured in
creased west Of the Missouri river and
decreased east, to the report.
All but two counties west of the river
increased their insurance over that
carried in 1919. Adams and Golden
Valley being the exceptions. While
the largest increase in individual CO.
unities occurred in other parts of the
state, Billings, Bowman, Dunn, Grant,
Hettinger, Mckenzie, Mercer, Morton,
Oliver, Sioux, Slope and Stark increas-
ed the number Of acres insured by
235,174. Bottineau, nesting along the
Canadian line led the increase with
90,O22 while it's neighbor to the south,
McHenry county, was second with an
increase of SCOTS. Twenty-four of the
So counties Of the state showed in
creases.
The total state acreage was smaller
than that for 1920, due in part to the
withdrawal Of lands upon which the
crops were not worth insuring. The
government also reports a smaller g.
mount Of land in cultivation than in
1920. The total acreage insured in the
state at the minimum of $500 was
,11k32,88 while 737,050 were listed
- $500 additional per acre, the total
nnaunt of the risk for the state was
@z,240, ,920.57. These figures are ap-
pfoximate only as some of the county
auditors have not completed returns
to the Tax Commissioner.
AS announced at the time the as
sessment was levied, the big losses in
creased the assessment per acre to A
cents for 800 and an additional 19c
per acre for the added $500 per acre.
This made the rate according to the
figures Of Mr.. Hagen's report, 63 per
cent upon the business written. Total
expenses of the department were
larger for the year, 1921 than the year
1920, but the rest Of the adjusting
loans was reduced Is cents each from
$4.60 to $4.45. The rate of overhead
expenses is below last years figures,
2.8 per cent as to receipts and 3.4 per
cent as to losses.
