P. O. Elks, tonight and Saturday with a Saturday Matinee, Feb. 18th, and 19th. This musical aggregation comes to us with the. highest recommenda- tions, and is compesed of twenty clever little girls. They render the very best of musical numbers, and their repertoire includes many of the latest high-class musical comedies and comic operas. The opening bill selected here will be the tunefnl musical comdy “Berta’s Billion,” a scream from start to finish. All the parts are taken by the little girls, some assuming the male roles and others the female parts, and the voices of all have received the very best training that it has been possible to give them. This production is mounted in a most lavish style, careful attention being paid to every detail. - In fact it is one of the cleverest and most unique attractions that will appear in this city this season. Some new whistly airs are intro- duced that are sure to take like wild fire. The Moonbeam Quartette, a special feature, will render some new catchy songs that are sure to please all. The scenic investures and light effects used will prove a revelation to theatre-goers, as the entire pro- duction is carried by this company. Have your seats reserved at Barker’s Jewelry Store early. Plan now open. The company is meeting with great success wherever it has appeared in this section; and no doubt the Armory will be crowded at all three performances which are to be given here. GREEK ARMY IN GONTROL Holds Athens Against Attack of Hos- tile Navy. Constantinople, Feb. 18.—The Greek army under the direction of Colonel Zorbas, head of the military league, is holding Athens against the hostile navy, according to meager advices from Athens. Several destroyers have had their ammunition supply seized by the army and are thus practically out of com- mission. The bulk of the navy, how- ever, is out of reach of the army and there is great fear that the aggrieved soldiers may yet attempt to shell the Grecian ports and land an attacking party.

Ralph, state drainage engineer, gave a very comprehensive and intensely interesting address on “The Reclamation of Minnesota Swamp Lands.” The state is well supplied with natural water courses and surface slopes are generally very favorable for cheap and effective drainage, Mr. Ralph then gave the fall, in feet, of the most important streams of the state, and stated that surface sloping 6, 8 and even 10 feet to the mile is not uncommon on wet land areas, and that, in its most natural condition, more than one-fifth of the state was too wet for agricultural pur- poses. These wet lands are fast being reclaimed by intelligent drainage. Mr. Ralph told of the large reservoirs at the head waters of the Mississippi river, stating they were created for the purpose of controlling flood waters and regulating the flow of the Mississippi river. “Minnesota, though generally known asa prairie state, contains, in itsoriginal state, extensive forests of very valuable timber and for fifty years the manufacturing of lumber has been one of the principal industries,” said Mr. Ralph. Mr. Ralph told of the average annual rainfall for several years past and stated that the greatest portion of rainfall came in the month of June. “Analysis and soil tests made by the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., place Minnesota soils in the first rank. A statement showing the compara- tive value of samples of the best soils selected from forty-five different localities, covering nearly every state in the union, gives Minnesota soils a higher percentage of plant food than that of any other local- ity. “Millions of acres of wet land have been reclaimed by the construction of drainage ditches; as a result, the swamp land area of the state is diminishing at the present time at the rate of nearly a million acres annually. One large drain- age project in the northwestern part of the state, now being worked out, will reclaim 400,000 acres; another 150,000 acres; and another in the northeastern part of the state nearly 100,000 acres. In fact, drainage work is being carried on wherever wet land is found. This reclaimed land is the most productive of the state, and in time will command the highest prices. “Statistics of drainage work carried on under county management in the several counties of the state show that approxi- mately 6,000 miles of drainage ditches have been constructed in the several coun- ties through this channel. These ditches drain and reclaim about 4,000,000 acres of wet land and $8,000,000 has been expended in carrying out the work. “Every county in the state with the endepuon of Cass, Fillmore, Houston, Rock, Pipestone, Mower, Mahnomen, St. Louis, Koochiching, Lake and Cook is engaged in reclaiming their wet land areas. “Prof. Thomas Shaw, one of the most eminent agriculturists in America, says thatnorthern Minnesota possesses advant- ages as a stock raising country unequaled elsewhere in the world, “In the summer of 1906 I collected samples of the swamp soil from different localities in the northern part of the state and had the same analyzed by the Depart- ment of Bureau of Soils at Washington, C. The results of these analyses showed tent of all the elements necessary for suc- cessful plant growth. “The commercial clubs of northern Minnesota can accomplish much in the way of opening up thig section of the state. There is no, reason. why the farmers should be leaving their farms on account of excesgive moisture. when they construct, @il necessary ditches to drain the land thoroughly and make it as pro- dugtive ag any land in the state. Pro- extending the time of payment for ditch | work over a period of 10 years, the first payment coming due in five years after the ditch is constructed and the remain- der to be paid in 14 equal annual install- ments thereafter. “The State Drainage Commission was also authorized by the legislature to make topographic surveys of the various water sheds of the state for the purpose of securing data from which proper drainage plans might be prepared; and when_these | surveys are completed to prepare and le with the county anditors of the state complete drainage: plans for the several counties. “No part of the state offers greater| returns fgrmoney;investedin the reclama- tion of wet Innds than: northern Minne- 80f@.. Anexcellent object lesson, showing 'what can; be accomplished, is seen at the Island: Farm: in St. Louis county. Mr. Hartley, the owner of this farm, has now D |at or doubt this statement until a quick, responsive soil with a high con-| —_ under cultivation 1500 acres of land which five years ago was an impassable swamp, This land is worth not less than $50.00 an acre and is probably held at 5 uch higher figure. Such land can be purchased throughout northern Minnesota in its natural state at from $5 to $10 per acre. The cost of drainage is about $2.00 per acre; the cost of clearing and culti- uating varies from $4 to $15 per acre, dependent upon the amount of timber or brush to be cleared off. “County officials and others interested in the development of northern Minnesota can render no greater service to their connty than to promote and encourage at every opportunity projects for the reclam- ation of these waste lands.” HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR HEALTH Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally Caused by Carelessness Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which also produces baldness, Never use a comb or brush belonging to some one else.
