lettings About the
i. i. County.
Report Trade Good.

a. Stratford Courier: Local merchants
report very good holiday trade des-
pite the fact that the prices for farm
products have dropped to away below
what they were year ago. 1t was
noticeable that merchandise bought
for gifts this year were more useful
and valuable and less of the cheap and
ornamental stuff was purchased.

Poultry movement was very light, as
usual during the holiday period. There
is still fair amount Of poultry to be
moved in some sections, and inlica'
tions point to somewhat higher values.
The demand for dressed poultry from
the consuming trade is very good.
Fresh egg production continues
above normal for the time of the year.
The egg market will be governed most
ly by weather conditions for the next
sixty days, with probably pretty wide
in the different markets.
&, Butter at it's present level OF values
is meeting with better demand, and
as this demand is mostly for fresh
product, the tendency is for advancing
prices.
The demand is also better for stor-
age butter, due to the shortage of
fresh stock

Play Of Moving Dramatic
Force and Beauty.

The annual passion play, ''Veronica's

To the visitor ''veronica's veil' is
nothing short OF a marvel OF production.
The close attention paid to historical de-
tail in the apparel Of the actors and
the excellence OF their stage background
provide the first step TO the success OF
the play Father Conrad and his helpers
have conquered the difficulty OF provid-
ing proper settings and the players give
finished Interpretation OF the Biblical
characters who follow Christ TO Calvary
and take up the faith after His cruci-
fixion.
A striking feature on the opening day
was the snoothness with which each of
the thirteen scenes followed the other.
Players were quick TO catch their cues
there were no uncomfortable halts and
waits spelling the art Of a. dramatic
moment And the play has number
OF scenes OF real dramaic intensity.
