FINE REHEARSAL OF. 'M|CR0bE OF LOVE"
Producer Talks of Staging Productions With Big
 Cast

Upon being commended on the ease of manner with which the reharsal of "The Microbe of Love- was handled last night. Miss Stanfiel, producer, said. contrary to the general belief that the more people in a production the harder 1t is to stage, have had very little difficulty in staging pro- 6uctions requiring large casts.
 When the script for the 'Microbe of Love was received by the local branch of the American Legion. they were uneasy owing to the cast re- quiring over 100 people and yet with the aid of sociology, the study ot group or mass action, I was able to show them at the rehearsal, last night, that the larger the cast the greater the ease of handling.
 One scene required over 40 peo- pie. 1 told them what I wanted done. l, knew that at least one would do it light. l told them to go through it and as expected three got it right l then called the balance of the com pany's attention to these three and. not to be outdone. they readily fell in line and the scene was perfected in 25 minutes.

LIMOUSINE AND
 WHISKY SEIZED
Handsome New Car andSeven Cases Bottled in Bond in
 Hands of Officers

Seven cases of bottled in bond whisky and new Hudson limousine were confiscated yesterday by City Detectives Giles and Patterson.
 When found the car was parked in front of local hotel and after a thorough search the liquor was found hidden in trunk in the rear of the car and in several compart- ments on the inside of the rear seat and under the floor boards No ar rests were made and the whisky and car are being held by the police.
 About o'clock yesterday after Eoon the detectives saw the car 1arked out in front of the hotel, and thinking perhaps that 1t might be a stolen car, owing to the fact that it carried a Florida license, went up and began to investigate. Within few minutes a well dressed man walked out to the car and asked the officers what they wanted. The of fieers told the man who they were and asked for the keys. The man, who claimed to be the owner, stated that the car was not stolen and showed the officers bill of sale. The detectives became suspicious and again asked for the keys. The owner left and went inside the hotel, SUD- posedly for tho keys, but did not return
 After waiting some 15 minutes, the car was taken to headquarters and searched with the above result.
 About an hour later the police were notified by a firm of local at- torneys. that the case had been placed in their hands. The name of the owner was not given.
 The automobile has only been driven 300 miles and owing to it's beauty it was viewed by many per sons while standing in the Jail alley

The main advantage of the set de-
scribed in the second pamphlet is that
it is more selective," which means
that it is easier to distinguish the
mitting stations when both of the
transmitting stations are using wave
lengths that are nearly the same. The
greater selectivity is brought about
through the use of two complete elec-
trio circuits, both of which are tuned
to the incoming waves. This is in

The bureau of standards experts
recommend that those planning to
construct the set should also obtain
copy of the pamphlet describing
the simple set. The pamphlets may be
obtained from the superintendent of
documents at the government print

The pamphlets describe in simple de-
tail the construction and method of
"hooking' up the sets, and contain
a number of simple diagrams. The
cost of the sets ranges from $3.50 to
$22.20, the difference being due to the

This farmer has no mean ability as a

keep the silage from freezing. Mr..
Strong will use pinch rock elm for
hoops inside of which he will put tir

makes during the flush Of the season.

amounting to S14S.41. for the car.

RUSK PEAT LANDS

used OF lime this year. Already enough
orders have been taken for car Of
limestone at Ladysmith and Bruce.
and no doubt additional orders will be
taken throughout the county.
Most of these orders are for one or
two ton lots the idea being to try it
out before making the investment for
larger lots The limestone should be
applied preferably on sod Potatoes
are not good crop on which to put
lime because of tendency toward an
increase of scab.
