the small depositor
as those in more fortunate

A Girl at the Helm Is Great
When the advance notices for A
Girl at the Helm herald the production
as a musical comedy classic it was
applying a very correct and appropriate
characterization This pretty little
musical comedy opened at the Majestic
last night and will show tonight and to
morrow It deserves a crowded house at
every performance The comedy is
high claBS the music superb the cho
rus 6trong and tunefu the scenic effects
very fine the costuming lavish and
elaborate the girls numerous pretty
the whole cast competent and every
thing essential to a high class musical
comedy provided byHH Frazeeand his
assistants who present the clever
Billy Clifford in his happy jingle
Clifford himself is a winner The aud
ience applauded him time and time
again declining to permit him to retire
from the stage after his very clever sing
ing of the musical number Not All
But Nearly Departing from the usual
lines he gave some original and delight
ful sketches Ably assisting him was
charming Marguerite DeVon a verit
able little queen with ease and grace of
man ner and a mezzo soprano 7oice that
has few superiors on the comic opera
stage today Her great hits were in such
songs as I Dont Love You Enough
For That and Youre All the World
to Me Hilda Mason as the countess
added much to the chorus work with
her lyric soprano Harry Dickirson was
a splendid Colonel Higginson and Jack
Trainor a capable Carl Wallenstein
In fact the whole cast was good
Among other song hits in addition to
those mentioned were In My Little
Runabout The Long Green The
Man I Marry Must be a Man The
Marriage Game The Ghost Ragtime
and others The plot involving in
tricate and magnetic love intrigue pro
Tided a vehicle for the fun makers and
singers concluding with a realistic boat
race as the grand finale when Billy
Clifford as Stanhope wins the hand
of Dorothy by capturing the motor boat
race from Wallenstein The audience
cheered this scenic effect to the echo
A more satisfied audience never
gathered in any theatre in Springfield

BIG DAIRY RECORDS
Good Results Do Not Roquire Vast
Outlay
Many dairymen says the Prnrtlcni
Dairyman think that the big records
are entirely beyond their reach thai
It takes a vast outlay of money foi
barns and fancy feeds to develop u
great producer Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth We know person
ally of at least four herds In which tin
annual milk production was Increase
from 3000 pounds to 7000 8000 900
and even 10000 pounds for each ani
mal These are not fancy breeders
and the cows are not pedigreed beau
ties but ordinary cows bred from com
mon stock by the use of a pure bred
bull for four or live generations Tin
owner of sixteen 10000 pound cow
was laughed at two years ago when hi
set his aim at that figure lie has now
not only reached it the average In
cludes two-year-old heifers but he hat
set his eyes on a 12000 pound averagy
Blackleg
Blackleg is a disease that very much
resembles anthrax incurable and fatal
The symptoms are very much the same
as those of anthrax excepting the ani
mals mayllve a few days longer with
anthrax than with blackleg It only
affects younger animals while anthrax
affects both Perhaps the strongest
symptom of blackleg Is a gathering oi
air or swelling underneath the skin
of the affected animals This usually
takes place a few hours after the ani
mal becomes infected and in tapping
upon the swelling it sounds as if then
was air underneath the skin This
swelling may be located upon the
thighs neck shoulders breast hock
joints flank or rump There is no
treatment for blacklei

excepting
preventive This is done by vac
cinating the balance of the herd with
blackleg vaccine which has proved
very successful Dr David Roberts
Protecting tho Hogs
Swine are more susceptible to
dampness than cattle and suffer from
cold more than other stock If left
without good shelter they pile closely
together for warmth The pigs on
the outside are too cold and those
near the middle become too warm
The latter are liable to be laid upon
or contract a cold when they turn out
to feed and pneumonia may result It
is important to provide comfortable
shelter and abundant room for exer
cise There is a great variety of makes
anil sizes of hog houses in use These
may he divided into two classes the
centralized system and the colony sys

Device For Shearing
A writer of much experience in the
cultivation and handling of sheep in
touch wih the Breeders Gazette
says I send you a drawing of a rack
for holding sheep while being trimmed
for exhibition I made the thing my
self abtfut five years ago and have j for the great
used It ever since It saves a man
i up ml
ILJ AJjs
A SHEEP RACK
holding the sheep and gives much
more satisfaction You can trim every
bit of the sheep except the ring around
the neck and when you get all trim
med but that just turn the sheep
around and finish him off before let
ting him go
The side strips swing up out of
the way and the stanchion can be ad
justed to any sized sheep
Bran For Lambs
While bran is not especially desira
ble for fattening sheep it is quite sat
isfactory for Iambs provided it is not
used too freely It however can be
used to better advantage for dairy
animals and even for horses
DAIRY HINTS
The genuine dairyman -who under
stands his cows and their keeping is
producing a good article and making
a comfortable living The farmer who
does not- thoroughly understand his
cows and part of the time is neglect
ing the cows for the farm and part of
the time the farm for the cows nat
urally is not making much of a profit
Competent Dairymen
The development of competent dairy
men is just as important as the de
velopment of cows These highly spe
cialized cows require judicious and
kindly treatment Neglect will not
only be reflected in the churn but dis
astrous and costly deterioration will
quickly follow A generation of neg
lect will practically undo the work of
a century The culmination of the
breeders art must be supplemented
with correct methods of feeding and
proper handling -Dr James Withy

Specks In Butter
The white specks in butter are due
to poor ripening of the cream says the
Epitomist Some of the cream has
wheyed off and decomposed and
the casein has gathered in clots and
the whey has separated from the
cream These clots of curd will not
churn out They remain in the butter
as clots and always look white Ar
tificial coloring has no effect upon
them and winter or summer they
spoil the looks of the butter

NOTES FROM BEVERLY
Special Correspondence
The country has learned much nboui
north shore scenery since President
Tuft made Beverly his summer home
The correspondents who arrived at
Beverly ahead of tho president and
those who came with him sent out
glowing descriptions of the natural
beauties of the summer capital and lis
neighborhood
Of some of Its most striking fea
tures however they have said never
a word Chief among these features
are the Islands in Salem bay
These lie directly In the front yard
so o speak of the presidents summer
home The president sees them every
time he looks out of a window on the
water side of the house
The Islands of Salem Bay
Without them the view would be
tame They give character to the rock
bound bay and suggest stories of other
times of passing ships homeward or
outward bound of nocturnal landings
in the old smuggling days and of ship
wreck in sight of port
The president would have to organ
ize an expedition to visit these islands
He cant drive walk or taxicab to
them and there Is no regular water
conveyance to any except the largest
So tho president is likely to pass the
summer at Beverly without setting
foot on them
Where Winthrop Sailed
Salem bay and its islands are asso
ciated with some of the most Interest
ing periods of the countrys develop
ment
On the largest island Bakers are
the two lighthouses known to lands
men as Mr and Mrs Baker which
guide the mariner into the channel
and when he is there are straight in
line behind him to make a back range
for his passage up the harbor Verj
properly Mrs Baker is smaller than
her husband When in line the two
lighthouse towers cannot be distin
guished from each other
Past this island and up this channel
came Winthrop and his fleet to settle
Salem Here for two centuries the
ships of Salem on which the town
built its wealth counted themselves
home from sea when Bakers was
abeam
Bowditchs Beacon
Southward of Bakers is a mass of
cruel ledges The ship that missed the
licht in thick weather was in grave
danger from them and long is the list
of wrecks they boast down even to
recent years
Up the channel toward Salem the
channel through which the East India
ships took their rich cargoes of spices
and silks one sees a stone monument
rising from the water a tall truncated
cone
This is Bowditchs beacon named
mide of seamen Na
thaniel Bowditch -whose home was in
Salem and who made more than a
century ago a chart of these waters
that has not been excelled to this day
Ledge of Satan
Seaward from this point is another
ledge which the old sailors of Salem
and Marblehead out of the wisdom be
got of experience named Satan
It is marked by a spindle At low
tide its brown length lies on the sea
like a sleeping whale or other marine
monster Sea birds alight on it and
the wash of the waves about it is like
the purring of a cat
Let heavv weather come and Satan
changes guise The surf roars and
cockles foaming white across it and
woe betide the man who picks it up
in a fog under his bowsprit end
The Newspaper Men
The coming of the president to Bev
erly has been a great thing for the lit
tle north shore city Its beauties and
advantages as a summer resort are
now known all over the world thanks
to the ceaseless activity of the press
With the president came a score or
more of newspaper correspondents
representing a number of the leading
papers of the country most of them
trained Washington correspondents
regarded as the cream of their profes
sion men who follow public events
who are capable of writing intelligent
ly and entertainingly on almost any
topic but who keep more especially
well informed on Washington and for
eign topics
Telegraph Facilities
To accommoda these men both the
Postal and Western Union Telegraph
companies have set up fine new offices
at Beverly A corps of expert tele
graph operators have been assigned to
the Beverly offices by these companies
and either company can easily handle

Town Meeting Days
The presidents rule is to see the
Washington correspondents Monday
and Wednesday afternoons and all of
the newspaper men onSaturday after
noon But this rule is not rigidly en
forced and correspondents who deem
It necessary to see the president offcen
er have little difficulty in getting at
him
These receptions to the newspaper
men or as they are termed by some
town meetings are usually good na
tured talks on the part of the presi
dent and the newspaper men during
which the president and some of the
correspondents chaff one another
Sometimes there is considerable hilar
ity at these town meetings and the
president usually has a story or two to
relate that evokes the heartiest sort of
laughter CARL SCHOFIELD

galore which could have been secured
at any local county printing office just
as cheap and just as well printed he
flashed some blanks of a character sel
dom required by the office blanks which
perhaps properly should be purchased
by the officer out of his own pocket and
and then had the gall to state to the
official that he could have the blanks
charged to the county at so much but
that the charge made to the public
could bo as the officer chosed to make it
At the office of another county official
he broadly offered a nice premium if
the officer would buy a certain article

Just one more proposition which is
self evident Every article that can be
purchased in Red Willow county in the
printing line at a fair and reasonable
I price should be bought of the local
offices and that not one unnecessary
cent should go to the big business
fellows
