Truth About BlaydS' -'Voltaire'
BY ALICE ROHE
written for the United Press)

The thing that seems 10 be caus-
ing the most interest in Arthur Hop
kinds production. ''Voltaire" with
Arnold DAILY in the role of the phiios-
opher. IS that it was written by two
young college girls.
Charming and clever with excel
lent mental backgrounds. as these
two young play-wri ghts. Leila Taylor
and Gertrude Purcell, are, il seems
to me that the quality Of a dramatic
offering should be judged regardless
Of the sex CT age Of the dramatists.
And "Voltaire." 10 tell the truth is
merely good drama-for two young
eiris TO have written.
The basic idea of the play how
ever. is most commendable-sh showing
Vouaire's intolerance of intolerance.

veutions of his day. The cvnic philo-

INVESTING YOUR DOLLARS

| When a man spends sum Of mon
ey, he accomplishes two results. Prim-
arily he gets some article that he
wanted. But that is not all by any
means. He also helps to build up the
business of the concern from which
he buys the article.
A single purchase may not affect
any one business much. But the pur-
chases of any family for a year do
make a considerable difference
Wherever they go. they help the con.
Germs that secure this patronage to in.
crease facilities. employ more labor,
pay more taxes, do more for the bet
terment of the community.
The question who a family does
with its purchases vitality affects the
futnure of community. II family
buys its stuff out Of town, It might as
we'll throw its money into the sea as
far as any benefit goes outside Of the
original purchase.
But II family decides to buy at

one family is divided up among a con-
siderable number of home stores, no
one will get any considerable expan-
sion out of one family's trade. But
when a lot of families make that de-
cision. then ground swell of increas-
ed prosperity is visible in the COM
munity. The stores grow, they take
on more help. they contribute more to
the public causes of the community
through taxes.
The business community under
these conditions begins to gain in at
tractiveness, and It is in position to
draw trade from greater distances
and make the community moreNof a
center. This tends to make all pro-
perty more valuable. long series
of results flows from the decision Of
the people Of town to patronize their
own home stores. Everyone who has
property or job in Delta will get
some benefit from such a tendency II
the policy Of home buying becomes
practically universal among our peo-
pie.

During the past spring number of vegetable growing demonstrations were established by the New London County Farm Bureau. A number of the vege- table growers are scattered all over thls county cooperated in this work. Recent ly the vegetable specialist, Mir Wilkinson form the Connecticut Agricultural col lege made the trip to g number of these demonstration plots and made the fol- lowing report: Robert Whittle, at Mys- tic, who is running both a cabbage and tomato demonstration, has some very worth while results. His cabbage was somewhat injured by the woodchlRks, but of the four seed strains of cabbages were used the Comstock Ferre strain leads in size of head and trueness to type. The seed obtained from Ebberle, came second, while D. M. Ferry and ". Atlee Burpee came in third and fourth places respectively. The latter, in fact, showing a very weak and small growth on the plants. Evidently 1t Is very worth while for vegetable growers to be careful where they purchase their cab bage seed.
 Mr Whittle's' tomato demonstration shows very plainly the advantages of early pruning of the plants. About the
 middle of April the vegetable specialist and the county agent, H F. Johnson, vis- tied MT. Whittles place and assisted him | in pruning practically all of his to-
 mato plants. Removing about three fourths of the growth on each leaf This
 caused a vigorous growth of new shoots and these plants now have four or
