A fertile comedy field has been pro
vided for "Furs and Frills," which
comes to the Keith theatro next Mon
day with Richard Carlo ns tho
comcdlan-star and a supporting cast
of tho best musical comedy talent. The
plot Is built around a valuable Rus
sian sable coat, which has many
amusing adventures. Mr. Carlo is at
his best in this new vehicle of his.
"Furs and Frills" has already had a
New York hearing and In that hard to
please city tho critics and public was
more than flattering in their praise of
both play and star.

Serious For Grain Growers

dition of winter wheat that Indicates a
rather serious situation, due to the
lack of sunshine. A week of damp,
cloudy weather ,has done damage!
The grain has been growing so rapidly
that it has been falling to the grounii

would bo a very light crop unless this
condition can be remedied.
One fourteen-acro plat at the state
farm wns In such condition near the
end of last week that it was demed

plat indicated that tho proper height
for mowing tho grain was about four

to cut the stem abovo tho center joint.
If this Is done tho. plant grows up
straight again and will produce a crop.
