N QUARANTINE
HELEN HAYES
HAS A HIT
HeayenlY Helen e back |!

IL was Well along toward the
finish Of the first act when this
darling Of the gods entered the
action Of Quarantine, 3 and with
her coming one knew at once
that the pivotal character Of the
amusing and quantity quixotic
comedy Of wits had arrived.
Charles Wagner and Edgar
Selwyn have succeeded by get
ting their managerial heads to-
gether, in providing Helen Hayes
and Sidney Blaclrmer, who essay
the leading roles in +. Tenny-
son Jesse's Quarantine with
q comedy that sparkles, in almost
a Michael Arlen mood, through
q whimsical cycle Of situations
certain to seduce the interest and
attention Of all who see the play.
| am more than willing to put
up an unpaid election bet on
Charlie Bryan as my share Of i
new wager that Mr.. Blackmer
and Miss Hayes have a certain
success in their possession.
Quarantine" is one Of. those tan
talizing, naively intriguing pieces
Of dramaturgy boastful Of in
Vulnerable charms, destined to
tickle the comedic nerve with its
cleverness Of phrase and assured
Of capturing the appreciation Of
those capable OF finding delight
in sophistication when it COM
bines the subtle, the buoyant,
and a touch Of the fantastic.
Miss Hayes, here, is something
of the "dream-dryad," who an
swers the emotional urge in q
moment of unbounded desire, and
finds herself in spell-binding
position with noted explorer,
who had thought himself in love
with her married but exasper-
ated cousin. She must pose as
the wife Of this methodically Gu
rious gentleman, and when all
on board the vessel upon which
they are travelling are ordered to
quarantine camp for seven
days, the dual battle takes on
a gay and glamorOus tone that
moves its spontaneous route until
the skies clear and the curtain
falls.
Sidney Blackmer, Miss Hayes
co-conspirator for they both
in the play were pursuing the
plotting path unknown to
each other) is all artist in his
reading of the difficult role
Of the explorer. He plays the
character in that subdued key
which emphasizes his every
move and gesture. Mr.. Black
mer evinces new finesse and
fits the part admirably.
OF Miss Hayes, whom | have
never met personally, yet feel
certain is one of the saving
graces Of the stage, / can say
this: She is in Quarantine"
the. same mighty personality
as of yore. The girl is an
actress" with everything that
promises greatness. Her art
is such that illusion in the
theater is possible whenever
she is in the line of perspective.
One might dwell on her shad-
ings, her secondary accents and
all that sort, Of thing, but one
can best hit the nail on the
head by saying she is talent
itself"
OF the supporting cast, Beryl
Mercer, the finest of character
women, does beautifully with a
small but entertaining role.
She hasn't the chance for
achievement that "Outward
Bound" accorded her, but her
work is always precise and con-
vincing. Jennie Dickerson, Olga
Olonoya, Percy Ames and Mary
Scott Seton must, come in for
well-merited praise. Kay
Laurel was the surprise Of the
night. This girl can do some
thing else besides farce.

you can't afford to miss.

that poultry culling is profitable.
When Mr.. Caravan started testing

ing about 80 per cent egg production
from his hens. Two months later he
was showing 71.6 per cent and has
averaged 68 per cent for many
months. He writes to his county
agent that he found big profits in
culling his poultry and in careful
feeding.

SHIPS OVER HALF A TON OF
BING CHERRIES OUT OF STATE

George w. Wright of Poison, has
shipped out over half ton of Bing
sweet cherries since season for that
fruit opened. He has received his
supply from the orchards on both the
east and west shores of the Flathead
lake, sending the sweet cherries all
over the United States. The small
shipments were made by parcels
post and express. He has this year
received mail orders from West Vir-
ginia, Illinois, California, Tennessee,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska, Wyom-
ing, and eastern Montana. One hun
dred boxes were sent to a commits
sion house in Great Falls. Mr..
Wright's business out side of the
state received its real impetus at the
time the National Editorial Associa-
ton met in Missou1a. These editors
visited the Flathead lake territory
when the cherries were ripe. They
had never eaten them before. Over
100 boxes were sent out by the edit
ors at the time to friends and rela-
tives all over the country and in al
most every instance orders for these
have been received by Mr..
Wright every season since that time.

TUBERCULOSIS IN
POULTRY FL0CKS
From Montana State College.

HILE there is still some doub
M as to the relationship of tn
Wv berculosis as it occurs in hu
mans, cattle and birds, it is still true
that the nature of the disease is sim
| liar in most cases. Chickens allow
ed to follow tuberculosis cattle us
ually will not become infected, but
chickens directly inoculated with ma.
teriaI from tuberculosis cattle will de-
velop the disease. A few investiga-
tors have succeeded in producing the
disease in fowls with material from
infected men.
Avian tuberculosis is found in
many farm flocks in Montana and is
a serious disease of poultry, since
there is no cure except the destruc-
ton of the infected flock. Tubercu-
losis in fowls, as in humans, is slow
and insidious. 1t makes its way
slowly through the flock of chickens
until, when discovered, large num-
Der of the birds have been affected.
The death of a hen now and then in
large farm flock is scarcely not
iced and the disease may not be sus-
pected until the increasing death
rate leads to an investigation.
The older birds of the flock are
the first to show symptoms. They
frequently become lame, weak and
surprisingly thin. An average Leg
horn hen that should weigh three
pounds will scarcely weigh one
pound when badly diseased. Poultry
men speak of this as "going light.
There may or may not be diarrhoea
and the comb and wattles are usually
pale. The diseased hen has ragged
and dirty appearance, due to her be-
ing constantly upset and hostled by
her stronger companions. She will
be "mopy" and "draggy," less and
ess inclined to move about though |
a good appetite. AT
'ected hens will often stay on the
'oost until noon, frequently all day,
Ind seldom are out in the morning
With the others. 1t is a common
of infected flocks that
lens can be found on the roosts at
my hour of the day, in any weather.
In nine cases out of ten, examina-
ion of the liver is all that is neces-
AIRY for a diagnosis. In affected |
birds this organ is enlarged, some
lines three or four times it's normal !
ize, and the surface is more or less
ported with yellowish white areas,
'arying in size from mere point to
spot the size of pea. These spots
an be seen as rounded nodules, quite
ard, and quite distinct from the liv-
r tissue On cutting into the liver

issue of the organ. tuberculosis of

estive system and the frequency

STUDENTS AT BOHEMIAN
LOWER LIVING COSTS

Students at the Montana State Col
lege at Bozeman, have developed
novel plan for lowering living costs
while attending school. With the
aid of faculty member they have
organized and kept going for two
years what is commonly known as
the freshman boarding house, a
place where board is provided at abb
solute cost.
Good management has resulted in
some unusual records made in this
freshman boarding house. This fall
it planned to provide good board at
an average of SIS per month for
freshman students. Experience of
last year proves that good board can
be provided at this amount through
out the winter so the freshman house
this fall is offering this as definite
winter rate. That the experiment
has met with favor is shown by the
fact that some of the college athletes
have boarded at the freshman house
and found it satisfactory in every
way.
The freshman boarding house is a
large private dwelling on South
Third street, near the college, which
has been fitted up for this special
purpose. 1t has become meeting
center for college men.

LONE BARBERRY BUSH
INFECTS WHEAT FIELD
IN HIGHLAND COUNTY

Men in charge of the barberry err
adication work in Montana were call
ed to Richland county recently by a
showing of wheat rust in one area.
They finally traced the source of
infection to a single barberry bush
which they grubbed out. But this
one bush will be the cause of some
wheat rust damage in this one small
area.
Investigation shows that practi-
cally every county has it's quota of
barberry bushes, generally used as
decorative shrubbery in cities and on
large ranches. In five instances the
bush has been found escaped from
cultivation" and it is said that unless
care is taken the bush is in a fair
way to become a native shrub.
w. N. Christopher, state leader of
barberry eradication work, has re-
turned to the State College from
trip over the state and reports fine
wheat prospects with but little dam
age probable from rust. In the Bit
ter Root and Flathead districts there
will be small amount of loss from
smut, he says, but none from rust.
Mr.. Christopher announces that J.
Ostrom, plant pathologist, will be in
Montana for the remainder of the
season to help with barberry eradica-
ton work, taking charge of the pub
licity work.
Communities DESTROYS of arrang
ing lectures, demonstrations or pub
licity material in connection with the
barberry and wheat rust, should COM
municate with Mr.. Christopher in
care of the State College at Boze-
man.

ALFALFA CROP AT LAUREL is

The alfalfa crop in the Laurel COM

SPORTSMEN'S PARADISE is

Cliff Lake, a new location for
sportsmen, is body of water about
20 miles directly west of West Vel
lowstone and alive with native and
rainbow trout, is the report of Ben
jamin Reed and Erwin Docksteader,
who returned to Laurel recently from
a trip through Yellowstone park and
weeks fishing on the Madison.
The lake appears to be in an ex-
tinct volcano crater and near the
center seems to have no bottom. A
few islands are embraced which have
been homsteaded. AS it is off the
main route, the public apparently
knows little of the lakes existence
and it is seldom visited. A home
steader on one of the islands has a
motor boat in which fishermen ira

Montana farmers hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars per year.
There are in Montana approximate
ly 10000 head of dairy cattle
(1920 census). Of this number it is
fair to assume that 125, 900 are pro-
ducing. The average yearly produc-
ton of these COWS is estimated at
less than $50 pounds of butter fat
each. Were all these cows the pro-
gency of pure bred dairy bulls their
production would be 200 pounds of
butter fat or more per year. A sum-
mary of 10000 cow testing associa-
ton records shows that when the pro-
duction increases from $50 to 200I
pounds, the income over cost of feed
advances from s25 to $40. This

UTILIZING FLOOD
WATERS FOR DRY
LAND IRRIGATION

~ ARMERS who have been long
acquainted with the dry farming
Il conditions in most of this state,
are urging further use each year of
dry land irrigation. Flood waters OF
spring can be caught and made to add
great value to the land on many
farms. Experts estimate that one
half of the farms in the northern dry
land regions could irrigate from one
to one hundred acres each year with
flood waters.
There are four principal types of
dry land irrigation:
ID Contour dykes on compare
lively level bench lands where the
slopes are such that melting SHOWS
and heavy rains pass down broad de-
pressions before they reach creeks or
other streams.
(2) bikes across a broad level bot
tom. The field in this bottom land
is so diked that water runs into one
section and fills to the top of the
dixie, then pours over into the next
section and so on until the entire
field has been flooded.
CD Another plan is using water
from a coulee. A dry creek in a
coulee runs water only during a
heavy rain and after SHOWS begin to
melt. A ditch taps this coulee at the
time and diverts the water to field, |
where it is spread over the largest
possible area.
(4) The reservoir is found on
many farms where there is coulee
or depression through which water
runs and which can be caught and |
stored. The water is let from this
reservoir or dam whenever it is need
ed, by means of bitches.
Dams or bikes cost little except
the labor and the labor can be done
when other work is not pressing.
Farmers who plan on using flooded
waters are urged to ask their county
agents for detailed information.
