boards for a three-day run.
Today Thurston stands more firm
ly entrenched in the affection and
esteem OF the American public than
ever before, because not satisfied
with his conquesls in the past. he is
marching onward and upward to
grander heights and greater achieve
mentS His show for this season
has reached n size undreamed OF
even by Thurston himself. To say
that he has reached the zenith of
his career. however, would be in
correct, for his zenith will never be
reached as long as new wonders are
disooverable on earth. In this
twentieth century world Of progress
new wonders are always coming to
light. and It Is the mission OF Thurs
ton to discover and present them to
the public. It is the proud boast OF
Thurston that he is able to present
the newest and most sensational
mysteries every year. This year 1t
is the show of a hundred new won
ders.
Theatregoers have rewarded
Thurston with their confidence and
this in itself more than any other
single factor has been responsible
for his overwhelming success and
prosperity. Many of his new features
for this year deal with life in the
afterwarld, such as the manifesta-
tions of spirits and the materialism
of ghosts.

RUSK COUNTY CLEARING
$4,000 new ACRES
FARM EDITOR HAS
NO CHANGE OF HEART

Several of our readers asked the
farm editor if he had change Of heart
and referred to the Elmer parson ar.
ticle on stump pullers in last week )
farm page that spoke of a few addi-
riOnal acres under cultivation. The
farm editor did not write this article
and is still strong advocate of clear
ing land on the Rusk county plan.
TO take arhe stumps out OF old pa
ture land and pillow it up is part of the
plan. This article however, does NOT
state that the clearing is done on Old
pasture land. but is straight plea,
as we understand it. to start with
wild land and finish it for cultivation
at once which is exactly contrary 10
our method of clearing new land.
However, there are sometimes cond;-
tons where plowing new land is as
profitable as to work ii out on the
Rusk County Plan, but these cases are
the exception that go to prove the
rule.
