"THE STROLLERS" AT GRAND,
MONDAY, APRIL "a


Thirteenth Chair" by Bayard Viiler,
at the Opera House, in this city,
Monday, April "a. This. is one of
the most thrilling production that
has been given by some of the most
emienent actors in the country, has
uous run by only two other plays
in the history of dramatic produc
tions in America. The we'll balanced
cast under the supervision of Prof.
Carol Sax, is having marked success
in rehearsals, and the play is said
by those who have witnessed the re-
hearsals to be the best ever staged
by the Stroller organization.
All of the scenery used in the
play was made by the students
themselves, under the direction of
Prof. Carol Sax, of the Art Depart
ment. This years is probably the
first time in the history of the
Stroller Club that so much empha-
sis has been placed on the scenery
but the setting calls for elaborate
stage design. Ordinary scenery
would not harmonic with the plot,
and for this reason the students of
the Art Department gave generously
of their time and talent in order to
make this the most elaborate stage
setting ever used in an amateur
play.
"The Thirteenth Chair" is a
mystery play and the interest which
is aroused in the first few minutes
of the play is sustained until five
minutes before the curtain falls on
the last act, at which time the
secret" about which the entire plot
is centered is given out. Every act
and scene in the play is one Of ex
citement and mystery. 1T calls for
professional acting, and this the cast
has met in everys demand. The act
Ing done by some members of the
cast is of professional caliber.
The cast is composed of the fol-
lowing young University students.

SWINE FOR HOME SLAUGHTER
Members Of Shipping Association in

Having Pork Supply. -. ~ ,.'- 90,

Members Of the live stock shipping
associations In Dekalb county, Ind,
have solved the problem Of having fat
hogs on hand just when they are
ready to do their home butchering,
and the United States Department OF
Agriculture thinks the plan could be
worked byaother co operatives. Many
Of the members of the association who
do home butchering often found them
selves with hogs ready for mar ket or
slaughter before the farmers were pre-
pared for the work. Under these con.
ditions they arrange with the man
ager Of the association to ship their
hogs to market at the time the AMI
mails are ready and later, when the
farmers are prepared to butcher, they
buy. the. desired number of hogs from
the association on the regular ship
ping day. The hogs are sold to them
for the net market price returned to
the members contributing hogs to the
shipment. This practice is, an accom-
modation to tile members, as often a
farmer who is raising hogs for home
slaughter Is not ready to butcher at
the time the hogs are In best condi'
ton, and he is not prepared to feed
them as long as he desires. y
