When you've nothing to do till

cheer and not sorrow, If you'd give
your old system a rest.
The mind that you use when
you're toiling. is Just like a rugged

A man who is footloose at night

the right time to seek what real
rest he can find.
Through work hours we're all in
a hurry, and we use our old brains
to extreme. To offset the fret and

You ne'er know how long you'll

OBSERVER LOOKS OVER
NEW BILL AT PALACE

Those who are little tired of one
jazz organization after another will
find an act organized for their es-
pecial pleasure at the Palace this
week.
Davie Jameson and the Revolters
provide this jazzless interlude. 40
cording to their own announcement
they are revolters against the craze
for pazz music.
The Revolters are a male chorus
of eight that sings a number of old
favorites and some new songs. ia
mieson is a dancer with a lot of per
sonality to help him sell his hoofing
to the audience.
The act is nicely staged in several
scenes, with an "Old Heidelberg"
number for an effective finale. The
act is fast and poppy enough to
please even the dyedin-the-wool
jazz fans, 1 believe.

SUCCESSFUL
HO0SIER FARMS

EUCCE SFUL 160-acres
- farms IN central Indiana,
LII from 1910 to 1922, made an
average annual income sufficient
to cover 8 per cent interest on
capital invested and S1,465 for
labor and management, according
to a survey recently completed by
the Department of Agriculture
and Purdue university.
But only about 10 per cent Of the
400 farms studied did that. In
normal periods only about half Of
them paid per cent on the invest
ment and $500 in wages besides
family living.
In the cold light of statistics,
farming IS not such a rosy occupa-
ton.
It is easy to prove by figures
that a man can take in more
actual cash by standing on a street
corner with a tin cup than by till
ing the soil. Even soda Jerking
and banditry are apparently more
lucrative professions for young
men than agriculture.
But the figures don't tell the
whole tale. The farmer may not
receive much actual cash for his
labor but he seldoms winds UP in
the poorhouse. He is more likely
to spend his declining years peace
fully under his own vine and fig
tree than the slick city toiler who
makes and spends big wages.
The average Hoosier farmer
may never break the bank at
Monte Carlo. Agricultural depres-
sion, drouth. grasshoppers and
mortgage may prey upon him. He
may receive inadequate returns
in money for his work but he
builds an estate Of the most per-
manent form Of wealth-land.
The amount of arabic land on
the globe is definitely limited. Man
can not make the earth one inch
large. The number Of mouths to
be fed from that land is steadily
increasing. Despite occasional de-
pressions and disasters, farming
in the long run is the surest bet
in the world.

m NY one who reads the second
Al volume of William L. Bar
III tons THE Life of Abraham
Lincoln" will have a deeper APP
probation of the real greatness Of
Abraham Lincoln.
A week or so ago in this depart
ment, told you about the first
volume of this new work on Lin
coin.
Today we are concerned with the
second volume-Lincoln as Presi-
dent. Barton pictures the Abraham
Lincoln which actually existed.
He goes beyond the White House
and shows the numerous problems
that Lincoln had to face during the
war. We see Lincoln often seeming
to put certain big decisions off to
another day, but Lincoln had a pro-
gram of education. This program
changed of course as different events
Of the war made it necessary to
adopt different measures.
Barton shows in a most careful
manner the real trouble of Nc
Clellan's generalship; how Lincoln
put up with this naughty leader;
how Lincoln was forced through
necessity to re-appoint Mcclellan.
! how Mcclellan sought to increase
his own political worth, and above
all, we see Lincoln looking for the
one real big general Of the war
General Grant.
Barton has much new documen-
tary proof concerning Mcclellan and
Lincoln. Every student who desires
to know what Lincoln was actually
up against during the Civil War
should study with care this second
volume.

After many years. the world has
declared Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress to be a masterpiece. But on

field, Barton shows that lincoln him.

Barton shows that Edward Ever

much light on the source and how

coin.

Venus would consume approx

However, Venus is just around
the corner compared with the
other planets, whose distances are

earthling to visit Neptune, the
most distant, would have to travel

for over 500 years TO reach his
destination.
At the reasonable transportation
charge of 2 cents per mile, his
ticket would cost s54. 900, 900. No,

The possibility that other plan

Physical conditons-atmosphere,

such as we are familiar with could
exist on any other orb in the So

With Only One Hand Hans Hanke Plays
Famous Sextet From Opera Lucia
slJ

There are a lot Of capable female
impersonators in vaudeville, but few
women who can actually fool her
audience into believing she is a man.
Miss Cliftons costume change,
made in the dark with only certain
luminous articles Of her clothing Wis
ible, is a nifty bit Of staging. The
only suggestion for this act is some
more up-to-date song material. Easily
pleases.
Billy Carmen plays a xylophone.
The effectiveness Of his turn is also
improved by novel staging.

I'll SING only his left hand, Hans
Ill Hanke, pianist. plays the
III famous sextet from the opera
Lucia"
With his right hand at rest, Hanke
permits his left hand to get about
the same effects as if he were using
both hands.
This is a remarkable demonstra-
ton, and especially so when the
famous melody is not butchered.
There is great beauty in all of the
tones that this man gets from the
piano. His own arrangements of the
melody from Carmen are another
splendid accomplishment, and his
playing of the Second Hungarian
Rhapsody" stamps him as a fine
artist.
His triumph is complete this week
at the Lyric. This man knows how
to sell" the very best Of piano mu-
sic to a variety audience. A fine
artist and deserves his success.
One of the best character female
impersonators I have seen in many
months is Olyn Landick. He dishes
a lot of neighborly dirt" or gossip,
as he portrays numerous characters
from life.
He does not expose his secret until
the last few seconds on the stage.
He doesn't ruin his impression by
trying to prove that he is man.
He is a splendid artist. Another
triumph on this weeks bill at the
Lyric.
The radio idea is used by the
Music Mixers and their California
Revue. A number of radio artists
are introduced. This act is not as
finely presented as the one this
theater presented some weeks ago.
The Artist Trio presents "An Eve
ming in the Studio" in which instru-
mental music is given. Nice work.
Eccentric comedy and topical songs
are offered by Thornton and Carlton.
Oscar Martin and Company have the
services of young lad who is
splendid in eccentric acrobatics.
Mighty good act.

The vast completeness Of this
