AUDIENCE "DIES"
 LAUGHING.

The Senior Class of the High School under the able direction of MT. P. R. Campbell gave one of the most genuinely humor- ! ous plays Her Husbands Wife, < ever witnessed here. We hold it no exaggeration to say that it was absolutely the funniest stage play we ever did see: The acting was superior to that of many professional compan- ies, indeed it is no overstate- ment to say that none but the best of actors would have performed with the entire ab- sense of cheap theatricalism that was shown by the Seniors of our High School. The di- rector, MT. Campbell, cannot be too highly praised for the almost perfection of this pro- duction.
 Where all of the characters 4 were acted so very well, it is ' hard to pick out any one for special mention, but the char acter portrayal of the genial uncle by Ray Seeger, was noth- ing short of a masterpiece. He was irresistibly funny from beginning to end, always in character-t of a lovable scalawag, who kept the audi ence in a constant state of hi 1arity.
 The difficult part of the wife who was either furious or in tears most of the time was excellently done by Elsie Max well, while her sister, Helen Maxwell, handled the part of Emily Ladew with equal abil- ity.
 Charles Sullivant fitted into the part of the troubled hus- band so completely that one found it difficult to believe that the harassed and worried man on the stage was really only Charlie Sul1ivant, of the High School.
 The part of Richard BeIden, rich young pleasure seeker and brother of Mrs. Randolph, was taken so naturally by Charles Matz that it was difficult to associate the spirited yet af- fable bon vivant on the stage with the genial and efficient clerk in local store.
 The part taken by Iva Eas- ton, that of the maid, served to round out the comedy and was modestly and effectively done.
 Many of those in the audi ence declared this comedy drama far superior, both in text and in execution, to the comedy recently presented in Williams by the Chautauqua. The nervousness of the first night , frequently so harassing- Iy evident in an amateur pro- ductiOn, was nowhere in evi- dence throughout the perform l ance. In this connection, par ticular credit Is due the direc- 1 tor. The very unusual ability | of MT. Campbell as a dramatic | artist, comes as a surprise to | those who did not know that he | had already won considerable i renown in this field, at the Uni VerSlty of Arizona. There he l played leads in number of | productions and he is one of | a few during the history of the [ University, to be accepted in 1 the national dramatic fratern- ity, Theta Alpha Phi. The re- quirements of this fraternity are very stringent and a great l deal of dramatic work, togeth- CT with marked ability is re- quired for admission.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY AID.

A substitute for the Macarthur
Road Bill was recently reported fav-
srably by the House Committee on
Roads with authorization for an ap-
preparation Of one hundred million
dollars for federal aid in co-opera-
tive highway construction and three
millions. for roads and trails in for
est reserves for the fiscal year end
ing June 30th, 1922. AS originally
introduced this measure sought to
authorize four-year program, but
members Of the Committee on Roads
feel that the incoming administra-
ton should be consulted before the
program is authorized beyond the
next fiscal year. Representative
AcArthur,. who has been very active
N champ6ning his measure before
the Committee on Roads and the Re-
publican Steering Committee, ex.
pressed himself as satisfied with the
situation and ventured the opinion
that the next Congress will author
ize q continuance Of the road build
ing program for several years. He
signifed his Intention Of introducing
legislation to this end when the new
Congress meets.

It takes powerful nerve for an ed
itor like Mr.. Kent Of the Cavalier
Chronicle to publish an article like
he did; last week that the estate In
dustries" have earned $116,427 for
the. last eighteen months, when he
knows that there is scarcely dollar
available at the state capitol to pay
anything with. The governor has
had his emisaries in the eastern mar
kets trying to sell six million dollars
Of state bonds to help cover the de-
hciency. The report of the Drake
mill shows loss in operation. Near
ly million dollars are tied up in de-
funct bank transactions, ETC., and yet
the state has been making money.
Great guns, what a powerful imagi-
nation men of Mr.. Kent's stamp
must have to lead himself to believe
that he is publishing the truth.

According to authentic reports
there are three hundred and twenty
million bushels Of wheat in the Uni
ted States as compared with four
hundred and seventeen million BUSH
els at this time last year. Nearly a
hundred million bushels shortage
should make some difference in the
price of wheat unless other wheat
producing countries esfooded with
that article as some are trying to
make us believe. If it is not true
that the South American wheat pro-
ducing countries have the enormous
wheat crop they have been reported
to have, it will not be long before
the depressing effect such reports
have on the market will have the
opposite effect.

The use of peat for barn litter or

perlor to straw as an absorbent and
the cattle have never been so clean as
when this was used. Not only has
the manure output doubled, but all
the straw is available for feeding.
Peat is not good bedding material
to use for dairy cows because Of the
fine particles which find their way into

ANOTHER OLD TIMER
GIVES HIS VIEWS

James BARLEY. of Weyerhaeuser
says he saw this country started 81
years ago and the method employed
was brushing and seeding. He does
not take kindly to the plan of blowing
up green land and has seen failures
from that source. when success might
have been bad by growing clover and
keeping COWS. He says this is Il good
country and he would like to see us
trim off the unnecessary expenses that
make our taxes high. as we are over
doing it by getting Improvements be-
fore we can pay for them. He adj
yises all farmers TO pay taxes under
protest.
Mr.. BARLEY OWLS 107 acres of land.
has 40 acres entirely cleared, and
twelve acres more brushed and seeded.
with the balance in pasture. The farm
Is Il miles east of WeyerhaeuSer.
He will milk IA COWS next summer
and is strong advocate Of cows and
clover. He says that clover Sown on
land that is brushed. leveled spring
t0othed and seeded will last several
year longer than when sown on plOwed
land.

SLANTS ON THE
NEW DOG l. A w

The farm editor. along with fifty
seven other citizens of RuSk county.
was hailed before the court of justice
last week on the charge of evading IL
dog tax.
According to the law. Il man own
ing land rented to another is liable for
the tax on the renters dog. although
he has absolutely nothing to do with
owning or feeding the dog. \ dog
when six months old is subject to IL
ccnSe. and this license must he paid
inside Of sixty days or penalty must
be added
\ law that holds an owner Of prop
tells does not seem right to us We
paid the bill and our renter paid us.
There is IL feature of the law that
we like: 1t gives Il man a right ia
shoot any stray dogs that come on his
land after SundOWn or before sunrise.
The dog license is used to pay for
sheep killed by dogs Any money left
over is put into fund that will make
taxes that much less for another year.
We believe when the law is better I'M
derSt0od if will be looked on with
more favor The rate of $500 TO $500
was made as il would pay for more
sheep.

STAY BN THE FARM

As the times adjust themselves it is
more noticeable than ever the splen-
did opportunities that the average dairy
farmer Of upper Wisconsin is enjoy
ing.
The city worker has been getting big
wages for several years now he is i'll
the worst condition the American
workman ever was. Used to high
wages and easy bosses the situation is
reversed amt he finds himself with
many expenses and not work enough
10 go around. The farmer who stuck
10 the dairy business is now the envy
Of the world. His receipts are not
large but they are steady and he has
il contentcd feeling that is unknown
to the city workman. With homegrown
wood vegetables. pork. potatoes. milk
and butter. and no house rent. and
With Il chance to improve the farm
even in the winter by cutting wood the
RuSk county man has the edge over
about ninc-tenthS Of the rest Of the
world today.
