score OF the largest theaters in the
country. Over five hundred people are
employed and the costumes worn are
made from correct historic designs
and the materials used are the costllest
velvets, silks satins and gold and sill
yer cloth of null. These delicate and
beautiful costumes were made abroad
by artists of world wide distinction
and represent a year OF exclusive work
and an enormous total OF money. The
horse trappings, brides, saddles, stir
rup straps and other details are studd-
ed with precious stones or embroider-
ed and inlaid with delicate golden ira
ceries. The scenery is massive and
brilliantly painted. In the pageantry

fairy-like dancers, enthralling embel-
lishments and insinuating music, is one
that holds the senses spellbound and
forges another link in the invisible
golden chain that holds and draws the
crowds to the place of Christy Broth

DAWSON NEGRO UNDAUJNTED
BY HIS TOTAL BLINDNESS
Robert Smith Earns Living Making
Cane Bottoms for Chairs.

Unlike most people who are afflict-
ed with blindness Robert Smith, a ne
gro OF Dawson, is undaunted and does
not let the loss of his sight keep him
from earning living.
Robert, who is the son OF Sam
Smith, the sexton at the Methodist
church, lost one of his eyes when a
small child, and the other became
sightless few years later. He was
sent to school for the blind, where
he learned to make cane bottoms for
chairs. The work turned out by him
is suitable for the parlor or dining
room, and he receives a considerable
amount of business. Besides being
capable in this art he can play the
piano and makes some money fur
nishing music for dances.
How unlike many with similar at
Fiction, who turn to the world for
aid. He is to be commended.

Many Realize Rotation
Of Crops Is Important

Most farmers nowadays realize the
value of rotating crops according to
some systematic scheme that may
best suit the purpose of the farmer,
yet on very many farms corn Is grown
year after year on the same land.
The Ohio experiment station has been
conducting rotation experiments and
growing crops on the same land con
tinuously for the last 80 years and the
results they have obtained are, there
fore, quite reliable. ON one field,
where corn has been grown continu.
Ously without manure for II years,
the average yield has been PSI bush
els per acre. On an adjoining field
corn has been rotated with oats for
II years. On this field eight crops OF
corn and nine crops of eats have
grown during that period Corn has
averaged Alt bushels per acre and
oats 39.S bushels. This field also was
not fertilized. This two-year rotation
Of corn and outs teaches a most valu
able lesson, for the field has almost
produced as many bushels Of corn as
the field that was in corn every year
and at the same time Inns produced an
average of nearly 40 bushels of oats
per acre during the years that thl:
crop was grown.
