THE CAST

Elsie Dover was q seamstfess not
so long ago-about fifty years ago,
TO be exact--who was engaged by
the fashionable Mrs. Ballard, OF New
York Elsie was of a romantic and
ina q NATIVE turn of mind. and she in
vented quite, a pretty tale of = love
AFFAIR that she and the young Ballard
heir were enmeshed In.
When her father, an inventor. call
ed at the Ballard home to put a stop
to the intrigue, young Mr.. Ballard
learned of his supposed, inamorata
for the first time. His curiosity was
aroused and his vanity fattered. and
when these two things happen to a
man, he generally ends up before q
parson. as the young Mr.. Ballard I'm
doubtcdly did.
Given this slight theme. Miss Ia
Galfenne and Mr.. Blackmer. sup
ported by a, perfect cast. have given
a perfect picture of our grandmother
and grandfathers as nappers and
philosophers. Not at any time does
this light comedy step over the lire
into a farce, but remains to the nnal
drop a deliciously engaging little
play, polished to the nth degree. and
on the whole the most entertaining
1t has always been maintained by
youth that the olden days before the
advent Of the cigarette for boarding
school misses and the cocktail for
high school dances were no WHIT
less racy and risque than their own
present jazz-ridden era.
"Not So Long Ago" proves that otr
grandmothers were just .as capable
of beguiling and becozening men as
the present generation, and moreover,
piled their skill with far more fnesse
and artistry.
Miss lie Gallienne hs Eva. with an
aptitude for imaginative falsehoocs
and love Of romantic situations,
must have been a far more dangerous
opponent than anyone, hearing ms
grandmother lecture, would surmisc.
She was fascinating in her intrigues
and indeed, young Mr.. Ballard sara
that he loved her mostly because ona
couldn't believe a word she said.
Sidney BIackmer as Billy Ballard Is
perfectly cast. his comic air OF
his self-absorption and
proper, mannerly Victorian demeanor.
are unfolded as the play progresses,
and he never reaches the top OF his
role until last act. His self-restraint
and deft, sure touches gradually
make his part stand out as a piece OF
real acting, done by young man who
has u sure sense of theatrical values.
His Characterization. and that of Miss
LIE Gallienne's, could not be improved
upon.
Thomas Mitchell. as Sam Robinson.
the sure-thing drummer in love with
Elsie, carries the mantle OF broad
comedy with triumphant applause.
All Of us know the Sam Robinsons OF
today, and we find them just as odious
and boring.
George Henry Trader. as Aichael
Dover, Elsie's father, Is an inventor
who has failed. Mr.. Trader is great
factor in making the present play
what It is. His lines are the hardest
of the piece, and he Is most convfnc-
ing.
Anyone wishing to see delightful
play, with a polished, finished cast.
cannot afford to miss the one at the
Belasco this week.

KNOW ALL ABOUT WEATHER
Animals, in the Construction of Their
Houses, Show They Can Fore

The weather man has co-partners
In the prediction of bad season in
the wild animals who qualify as
weather prophets for the experienced
out-of-doors man.
"Trappers believe firmly in the abil-
ity of wild animals to forecast wealth

er-Trapper, published in Columbus, O.
"The type of house which the musk
rat builds for the season indicates the
kind of weather he expects. When
the muskrats build large houses, with
thicker walls, a cold winter is to be
expected IL the houses are made I'M

"Just before storm, all animals
are unusually active and travel fast
and far. Even human beings notice
a difference in their feelings just be-
fore a storm, especially if they are
troubled with rheumatism or other all
ments of a like nature.
+ ut is reasonable that nature has
provided animals with a sixth sense
for forecasting weather conditions
which mean so much to them"

The New Cabinet.

Murphy had written Harding urging
that he appoint Percy Tetlow, vice
president of the United Mine Workers
of Ohio, as secretary of labor. Hard
ing replied he could not consider Tet-
lows claims because he had rendered
a post in the cabinet to Daugherty
and that he could not give more than
one place to Ohio.
Minnesota's delegation in congress
is strongly backing E. W.. Decker,
president of the Northwestern Nation
al bank Of Minneapolis, for the office
of secretary of the treasury in the
Harding cabinet. It is the view of the
Minnesota congressman that the mid
die west should be represented in the
cabinet. Practically the entire cabinet,
as reported from Marion and Florida,
is made up Of eastern men.
Charles G. Dawes, formerly head of
the purchasing bureau of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary forces, was discuss
ed for secretary of the treasury, but
he has more recently been mentioned
for the post of director of proposed
reorganization Of the government de-
partments in Washington so they may
be placed on business footing with

VERA CRUZ WORTH VISITING
Mexican City Has Number Of At
fractions That Invite the
Wandering Tourist.

Vera Cruz is city of contrasts. Its
wildly painted houses of red. blue and
yellow. built close to the narrow
streets. have grated windows and
heavy. forbidding doors, WHICH give
little evidence of the charming inte-
riOrs with their patios, palm shaded.
filed with exotic flowers and cooled
by fountains.
Modern street cars look out of place
in the same streets with burros laden
with merchandise. fruits and vege-
tables. and cahalleros in their broad
sombreros. wildly colored blankets,
enormous spurs and silver-mounted
saddles. Even the tropical climate is
in sharp contrast with the snow
capped. extinct volcano. Orizaba, which
towers almost 10000 feet into the cold
air above. Although this peak is near
ly fifty miles away from the city, it
can be plainly seen from there and
makes beautiful picture standing
white against the sky or catching all
the colors of the sunrise.
Another point of interest f. the an
cient fortress of San Juan d'Ulloa,
which is built on an island, connected
to the mainland at the northern end
by a long sea wall 1t has fair ex-
terror. being painted pure and radi-
ant white. but hidden beneath this in

dungeons where many political pris-
oners of Mexico have been kept for
years.
Turning hastily from this unpleas-
ant scene gentle reader, let us retrace
our steps to the center of the city,
which is marked by the plaza. This
is large and beautiful square filled
with palms and flowers. and watched
over benignly by the ancient and
stately cathedral. Every evening dur
ing the band concert it is the quaint
custom of the youths of Vera Cruz to
promenade around the square on sthe
outside of the walk in one direction,
while the young girls. CAREFUL! watch
ed over by their duennas, walk in the
opposite direction on the inside. In
this way most Mexican flirtations are
begun.

Condemn High
Priced Stock Foods
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog
Food, with Better
Results.

'That he is all through paying fan
cy prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some OF
the best hogs ever placed on the mar
ket" was the statement made recently
by E. II. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's. hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagent prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explain
ing that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only
couple of dollars) and mixes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and espe-
cially brood sows require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink of conditions, and are es-
sential to the hogs growth and a well
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it, will produce far better results
than any high priced so-called stock
foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells ST.,
Chicago, Ill.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds. tAdv.) 30-4ts.

While motoring in Tennessee on a
lonely road one night we were being
followed in a machine containing five
colored men. They kept uncomfort-
ably near US, and after few miles
we motioned them to pass, hoping they
would speed along, as we feared a
possible holdup. Instead of continu-
ing on, they stopped directly in front
of us, and when one big black fellow
asked us to stop our hearts were al
most at "a standstill. However, we
breathed easier when he said: "Will

CROP AcREAcEs REQUIRED.

The State Department of Agricul-
ture announces that all farmers are
to report the acres of each crop to
the tax lister during the month of
May. This is not for taxation, but
for the annual crop census survey
that was provided for by the last
legislature. This information will
be compiled by the counties and
not released until next January,
when it will be in time for the
farmers to use in aiding their plans
for the 1922 crops.
1t is important that each farmer
prepare list of his crops and have
ready for listing, as it will save
timesand confusion later. This CEN
sus puts North Carolina in the eff
cheney class of the most progressive
farming states.
Each farmer should prepare a list
like the following and fill in with
the number of acres planted or in
tended, after each item. Fractions
of acres should be given on small
field crops. The TOTAL size of the
farm including woods, etc, is essen
tial. Total land -----; Cultivated
