The capital of the U. S. 4. returns
Of revelries to the customary routine
Of business and craftsmanship. II is
not likely that President Harding will,
during his entire journey, witness any
scenes of SO much splendor or find an
atmosphere OF greater geniality than
that which expanded around his own
official home.

Crop Damage.

Indications are that this will not be q
rich fruit year in the Washington
region. Reports from a number of
districts are discouraging and. not
only has the fruit yield been cut by
cold and frost. but field crops have
suffered from cold and drought. The
Maryland bureau of agriculture re-
ports that only two districts in the
state will harvest more than three
quarters of their fruit crop and that
the average will be less than so per
cent. Fruit prospects are reported
as poor in our neighbor counties of
Montgomery and Prince Georges and
south and east OF Washington in the
counties Of Charles. st. Marys, Cal
vert and Anne Arundel the fruit crop
outlook is disappointing. The con-
dition of corn and wheat also is
said to be below the average. Re
ports from the Virginia counties near
Washington are not as specific as
those from Maryland, but it is feared
that the agricultural community in
the Old Dominion has suffered heavy
loss. What is the farmers loss is
ours. The unfavorable spring weather
In Maryland and Virginia means that
our fruit supplies will be cut, that
prices will be higher and that the
purchasing power of those who get
their income from the land will be
reduced. Let us hope that in the
more fortunate sections OF the coun.
Try the fruit harvest will be abundant
and that prices here will not be high.
The seasons are not always kind, but
we must take them as they come and
go. In spite Of the setback, we shall
all get along fairly well and we will
be as happy as We can.

NO MoONsHINE BUTTER

Black River Falls is at least enc
town in this great dairy state in
which it is about as hard to get hold
of mooshine butter as it is to get
next to .mooshine boose. More than
two years ago the merchants talked
over the matter and concluded that
selling butter substitutes was not
just the way to encourage farming in
a fine dairy county like our own. So
they quit selling the stuff that hasn't
enough vitamines in it to fatten a
flea, and they have not handled it
since. When their customers call for
butter, they get butter, the real gold
en- stuff that helps put color into the
cheeks of the children and fights
away the ills of older folks. Their pa
irons are better pleased to have the
real stuff, and but few ever call for
the imitation stuff that is made in an
oil mill. Of course, there may be
some who will send away and get it,
just like some fellows will hike out
into the brush once in while to an
mex pint of canned agony, but they

Ziebel went off PlatteviIle's right
tackle for 10 yards. Meier added

off two of the secondary defense,
ard continued on for touchdown.
Ziebel kicked goal. River Falls Z,
PlattiVille 0. Three minutes had
elapsed since the opening whistle.
Ziebel kicked to Evans who made

Follansbee Topped Jacka for a 5-yd.
loss and Mingst punted to Ziebel,
who brought the ball back to Platte
lilies lloyd. line. Neither side could

and was replaerd by Hardy. Ziebel

Nelson made 80 yards on forward

goal, but on the next play Capt. Dem
mis- broke thru and knocked dowE

it to Maier, and Platteville recovered.
This break seemed to inspire the
visitors to greater efforts, and they
made a series CT substantial gains

EVELYN PREER,

; ''E,lizabethan Music" by Capt.
Walter Berry; and the playwright,
DIR. G. w. Johnston. delivered his
last address before this society
on the actors of Shakespeare
time.
A dramatic reading by one or
department was given on each
subject. In addition to these
subjects, two plays have been dis
cussed. For "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" Dean r. T.. Gas
son of Georgetown, told of the
fairy lore of England; S. s. Ash
baugh. discussed the literary
sources; Mrs. Eleanor Bingham
gave the dramatic analysis, and
Walter w. Beck, explained Ben
Greets method of staging.
For Antony and Cleopatra.
Mr.. Ashbaugh talked on the
Roman plays. and Prof. Dewitt
CroiSsant gave the dramatic con-
struction. The character of An
tony was analysed by DR.. r. v.
Wilcox and that of Cleopatra by
Mrs. Clara r. Barnard
A particularly noteworthy event
was the presentation of a con-
densed version of Antony and
Cleopatra The production was
wholly original in arrangement
and staging. Mabel Owens Wilcox
director of the dramatic depart
ment. used ten scenes which
dealt with the two main char
acters. making a consecutive mar
rative, all the ACTION of which
occurred in one location. A single.
very simple setting was used
throughout and against that neu-
trail, unobstruCtiVe . background
the richly colored costumes and
representations stood out strongly
The very dramatic portrayal was
originated and directed by Walter
w. Beck.
