then twisted to stop the flow of sap,
after which they were left on the

SARAH BERNHARDT A COMPANY
The popular Km press was crowded
to the limit Tuesday evening. The
occasion of the big Interest was the
presentation In four parts of the
spectacular photo play, "Queen Eliza
In Hi," acted by Mine Sarah Bern
hardt and her all star company.
The story of the play, as shown
in the moving pictures, is as follows:
When the Spanish Armada lay
nearby threatened to destroy Kng
land holy and .-mil. Elizabeth and
her court anxiously awaited news of
the impending battle at Plymouth.
The long night of sorrow and sus
pense la past at last, nd the news
ot the ruin of the Spanish fleet Is
followed by a wild gaiety and jubila
tion. At the time of this scene in "Quee
Elizabeth" Robert Devereaux, Earl
of Essex, Is the acknowledged favor
ite of the Queen and the pampered
pet of her court. A new Lord Lieu
tenant Is to be appointed to Ireland,
and Essex obtains the coveted posi
tion. The scene shows the favor
ite's departure for Ireland.
There is a "But" In every man's
Hfe. Lord Essex admired his gener
ous sovereign and appreciated her re
ran! f'r him. Hut rhj wrs manv
years older than himself, and his af
fections have turned to tire Countess
of Nottingham, to whom he comes
to bid farewell before his departure.
Fate enters the room with Essex,
and Nottingham observes his young
wife In his enemy's arms.
Bent on Essex's downfall, the Earl
of Nottingham accuses him of treason
and deceit, and when the Queen sub
sequently learns of his clandestine
love for the Countess she orders his
arrest. In the present scene, torn
between her emotions, her wounded
pride battling with the real desire
to spare him, she yields to the Jeal
ous subtleties of her ministers and
her own vanquished vanity and signs
Etsex's death warrant.
Lord Essex was brave, bold, cour
ageous. Little wonder that as Queen
Elizabeth watched him pass thru the
crowded street on his return from
Westminister after his condemnation,
literally walking to his own funeral,
she sobbed In self-reproach and re
pentance, and realized, In the mo
ment of hla impending death, that
his life was necessary to hers and
its happiness.
From the day of Iord Essex's ex

The gaiety and laughter of the pal

silence of a thing worse than death
hopelessness, until at last the brok

peace in the Final Rest.

Experiments Have Proved Flax to
Be a Profitable Sod Crop
In Box Butte County
WILL PLANT LARGER ACREAGE
C. K. Marks and G. II Carr raised
a fine crop of flnx on sod last ;n
and did fairly well with It, al. tough
the price was low. They havelnrn
ed 11 thing or two more nbout grow
ing flnx in this country and will In
crease their acreage this year to
500 acres, confident tluut there Is
good money In It. The entire crop
will be planted on sod. Bert Carr
expects to start the steam tractor
about a week from nvxt M'day and
run It night and day until the crop
ha.' In en platted.
The outfit will 1 onsist of the thirty-two
hp. steam traction engine, a
six h.p. stationary engine, a plow off
four gangs, each having two plows;
a two ton roller, and the seed drill.
Last year a dynamo for making the
electric lights for night work was
run by the power from the tractor,
but it was found unsatisfactory for
the reason that when the engine
stopped the lights went out. For the
electric lights this season they have
a six horse power stationary en
gine mounted on a platform erected
for that purpose. This will furnish
ample power for the lights and Is
expected to give very satisfactory
service.
First following the tractor will be
the eight plows for turning the sod.
Then will come the two-section roll
er, each section weghllng two thou
sand pounds. A little experimenta
tion last year In the matter of rollers
proved the value of the heavy roller.
Before the roller was decided upon
last year, C. A. Newberry, who has
given careful study to the develop
ment of agriculture in this country,
was oiisulted and his advice asked.
He advised the use of a heavy rolter
to press down the sod before plant
ing, the heavier the better. As a
roller could not be purchased from
manufacturers as heavy as was want
ed, one was made, concrete being
used for the body and to give weight.
This roller was used tor a while, but
got out of commission and It was
thought perhaips a lighter one would
do as well. Accordingly, a wooden
roller, much lighter, was made and
used to complete the season's work.
The result was that where the heavy
roller was used the yield of flax
was more than twice as much as
where the light roller was used.
Following the roller, which pressed
the upturned sod down so tightly no
air can get under It, comes the
seed drill.

Here's a new one by Walt Mason.
It was written during, spring cam
paign time:
The joyous spring Is close at hand,
the spring that renovate the land!
And once again the birds will away
on bending boughs, and sing all day;
the aklea will be serene and fair, and
we shall breathe the fragrant air, and
girls will swing on garden gates, and
there'll be swarms of candidates. The
world will wear Its garb of green,
but we will not enjoy the scene; the
birds will sing their songs In vain, for
we can't near the gentle strain; the
candidate will gat us all. and back
us up against a wall, and twist their
fingers In our coats, and tell ua
that they need our votes. In vain
the fragrant breeze will blow, In vain
the twinkling stars shall glow; we
won't bnve time for things like these,
we'll listen to the same old wbeese
from patriots who tell us why they
come once more to bleed and die.
And ho I dread the gentle spring; I
like the zephyrs she will bring, I
like the bees, I like the bowers, I
like the what-you-call-'em flowers, I
like the bluebirds and their mates,
but oh! I hate the candidates!
