THE AMERICAN LEGION
PRESENTS COMEDY
“A BACHELOR’S ESCAPADES’
The three act musical comedj
“A Bachelor’s Escapades" wai
presented at the K. C. opera hous«
last Wednesday ami Thursday even
ings under the auspices of the loca.
post of the American Legion, to t
crowded house each evening. The
play was presented under the direct
ion of Miss Ann Cassel.
The comedy was a success from
every viewpoint. Each character car
ried his or her part like a veteran, and
drew hearty applause under the
slightest provocation.
Miss Cassel was more than pleased
with the cast selected in O'Neill; she
says that they are without exception
the best bunch of amateur actors that
she has had the pleasure of directing
in this play.
Mrs. F. J. Kubitschek, as Ophelia
Higgins and D. H. Clauson as Denny
Maloney the Irish gardner, were
greeted with applause as the curtain
rose on the first act; their makeups
were a “scream.” Ophelia Higgins
was on the matrimonial counter and
was looking for a husband, while
Denny Maloney was completely wrap
pea up in nis j^araen anci wan tuts »u
preme authority on potato bugs and
the like.
Mrs. Marie Gatz, as Betty, the
happy little domestic, played a very
important part and was the principal
character in several amusing scenes.
R. V. Jones, as Phillip Springer, a
reckless young bachelor, had trouble
and plenty of it during the afternoon
and evening of the day upon which
the plot was laid.
R. M. Sauers, as Deacon Smith,
Phil’s guardian, who found it hard
to be good under adverse circumstan
ces, played the old man’s part in fine
style and proved to the audience that
he should have been an actor instead
of a railroad agent.
The plot of the play was laid around
Phillip Springer, the reckless young
bachelor, who had been representing
to his guardian that he had a wife and
baby in order to extract money from
the old gent. The critical moment
arrived when Phil received a tele
gram from the guardian that he would
be there that afternoon to see the
wife and baby.
Phil tried to induce Ophelia, Betty
and even Denny to act as his wife for
the afternoon but all refused, but at
the last moment when the Deacon ar
rived each decided to help Phil out of
his trouble and took the part of the
“wife.” Then there had to be a baby;
each of Phil’s friends were again so
licited to produce the baby, of course
all refused; again at the last moment
each took pity on Phil and produced
the coveted baby—too many of them.
One of the little ones happened to be
black. The whole affair had the
Deacon pretty much muddled as to
the correct statis of things, but after
much explaining by Phil and the
other members of his family every
thing came out all right and Phil mar
ried the girl of his choice—as usual.
The musical numbers by the mem
bers of the cast and those accom
panied by the chorus girls were all
enjoyed by the audience each evening

WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
LAST WEDNESDAY
Washington's birthday is a quieter
holiday than most of those appointed
by law, since for most of the country
the weather is unfavorable to outdoor
sports. But from our earliest national
history, this day has been heartily
observed, and more rationally than
most of our festal occasions.
The people of the early days of the
republic began celebrating his birth
day during his lifetime. A great
many famous men were never recog
nized much until after they had pass
ed on. But the glory of Washington’s
achievement was so complete and his
service so incomparable, that the peo
ple from the very start felt a desire to
do all possible honor to his name.
So in the early days of the country,
there was hardly a town so small that
it could not manage to have at least
one notable function in honor of the
father of the country. The women
turned out in their most stunning cos
tumes for balls and parties, and the
stately old timers gathered at formal
banquets, where every possible honor
was done to his name and fame. The
favorite song was “God bless Wash
ington, long live great Washington.”
And to-day, in thousands of cities
and towns public functions are held
at which tributes are paid to this fa
mous man, while on the Sunday pre
ceding many churches pay honors to
his career. The schools note the oc
casion, and the fame and nobility of
Washington’s character and his prac
tical achievement are held up as ex
ample for youth to follow.
Only a very few men in the history
of the world have so impressed them
selves on the public imagination. It
is a wonderful thing for a country to
have this ideal to which to look back.
When statesmen and politicians are
tempted to do things unworthy of
their country’s history, there is some
thing in this lofty example that helps
to hold them back.

PEANUTS EVER MADE
What is said to be the largest ship
ment of peanuts ever made to one
concern is now in progress from
Southern shelling centers to a Chi
cago candy bar manufacturer. The
consignment consists of 400 carloads
of shelled peanuts, weighing more than
12,000,000 pounds, and represents only
a portion of the company’s yearly re
quirements. A large portion of this
record movement is being handled by
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad.
If the goobers in this shipment were
laid end to end, they would encircle
the globe nearly two and a third
times, as they would make a strip of
shelled peanuts more than 57,000
miles long.
The peanuts are cohsigned to the
Babe Ruth Candy Company, which
uses approximately 45,000,000 pounds
of the shelled product yearly, or one
tenth of this country’s total yield, in
the manufacture of 1,000,000,000 candy
bars, according to Otto Y. Sehnering,
president.
“The repidly increasing popularity
of peanuts roasted in the shell, salted
and in candy bars, as well as in the
form of peanut butter oil and flour,
will soon demand a yearly production
of 1,000,000,000 pounds in this coun
try,” Mr. Sehnering said. “There
were 1,132,000 acres planted in pea
nuts in Southern states last year,
which produced a yield of 866,822,
000 pounds of farmer stock (unshell
ed), or approximately 440,000,000
pounds of shelled product. The grow
ing knowledge of the dietary value
of the goober among the people of
this country has made the peanut a
crop diversification now gaining
ground in the Southern states ’’

Every user of a manure spreader readily admits that this
equipment is one of the best investments any farmer can make,
but remember this—there’s a world of difference in manure spreaders—a dif
ference in loading, in draft, in the work done, in the life, upkeep costs and
the service they give.
JOHN DEERE SPREADER
The Spreader with the Beater on the Axle
hasjthese distinctive advantages—advantages
over others that result in saving time, labor and
money.
Easier on you. It is only 36 inches from the
ground to the top of the box—from 6 to 10 inches
lower than other*—savec about half the work of
loading because the manure is in the box without
the hard part of lifting necessary when loading
other spreaders.
Easier on your horses. High drive wheels
materially lighten the draft—from 4 to 8 inches
higher than others. The manure oti the endless
apron is rolled back to the beater on 48 roller bear
ings. If you wore going to move a ton weight
the easiest way you wouldn't drag it—you would
put rollers under this load and roll it. as on the
John Deere.
Does better work. It isn't necessary to pile
the John Deere Spreader with manure high in the
center to get on a load: consequently, the spread
is even the entire width. Another point, the
beater on the John Deere is low to the ground—
manure is not thrown high in the air for side winds
to catch it and cause drifting.
The revolving rake, a patented feature. Imbeds
its teeth into the manure and revolves with the
load—this permits the beater teeth to tear the ma
nure apart. No bunching—no uneven spreading.
Lasts longer. It has only about half the
parts ordinarily required.
No clutches—no chains—no adjustments to
make. All of the main working parts are on the
nxle where they can't get out of line to cause extra
wear, binding and breakage. The upkeep costs
are extremely low and the service it gives is much
longer. 3
Alt of these advantages are evident when com- >
parisons are made. i
