oS] i | | es | TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1924 ’ SPEAKERS OUTLINE IMPROVED METHODS ON RARM CROP DAY Seed Grain, Smut and Chem- icals Discussed at Red River Valley Shows Crookston, Minn. Feb. 5.—()}— Farm crops day at the Red River Val- Jey winter shows and northwest school farmers’ week today centered attention of valley residents on im- proved methods of producing grain and other field varieties. Sources of seed grain, ‘smut pre- vention, use of chemicals in weed control, use of the combine harves- ter-thresher in Minnesota, and farm engineering were discussed by spe- cialists, most. of them from Univer- sity Farm, at general meetings. Bishop C. G. Bennett of Duluth | and Miss Harriet Goldstein of the University of Minnesota were to be principal speakers at the second mecting for women this afternoon. Miss Goldstein is in charge of a series of demonstrations during the week, and today was to discuss “cur- taining the windows” and handicraft .. Kaiser’s Captor | Sundry millions of officers and men in the allied armies had secret am- bitions of capturing Kaiser Wilhelm, but the man to whom the former German ruler actually laid down his arms was Peter Keyser, above, then a Neutenant in the Dutch bicycle corps. When the kaiser fled into Holland, Keyser met the imperial party at the Dutch border and made processes used in the Orient. Okay Combine Approval was given use of the combine harvester-thresher by A. J. Schwantes, assistant professor of agricultural engineering at University Farm. He said the machine is not new, und that direct threshing in the field had been practiced on the Pacific coast before the method was adopted by Minnesota farmers. In Minnesota Mr. Schwantes point- ed out 49 machines were in use in 1928, and 11 in 1927. Losses Are Small He said it was a mistake to be- lieve that grain would shatter badly if left until ripe enough to thresh in the field, and that University experi- ments indicate the losses to be very small. Some varieties show more loss than others, he said. Other speakers on the program in- clude A. D. Haedecke, discussing sources of seed grain; R. C. Rose, on smut prevention; A. C. Arny, on chemicals for weed control, and Dr. G. A. Pond, discussing costs of production on valley farms.

In production the new “Gay Paree” the Messrs. Shubert have drawn even more liberally on Gallic ideas than in the past. The result is a charming piquancy that can only be attained in this style of entertainment when the mid-Victorian or Nordic concep- tion of propriety is dispensed with. ‘The unquestioned success of the for- mer “Gay Parees” testifies that the- atregoers from the Narrows to the Golden Gate relish high seasoning in their girl and music shows. To filch from a trite saying of yes- teryear, “Gay Paree” is all new but the name. Of course “Chic” Sale, who was, by the way, star of the pre- vious two editions, heads the cast but even his specialties are brand new, albeit his portraits are still those of his well beloved bucolic friends of the corn belt. + Frank Gaby, Stanley Rogers, La Pulchra, the loveliest being in the world, Sylvia Froos, Franklin Batie, Kelo Brothers, Margie Evans, Mar- gherita Marano, Virginia Murray, Lil- lian Herbert, Oliver Reese, Geschrey *|& Hully, Charlotte Terry, John Mc- } Dowell and Charles Mac are among those prominently mentioned. An extra feature is promised in the fa- populous gathering of fair girlhood. Funeral of Stephens, N. P.

A Lucky is always refreshing. My tense nerves relaxed, my aching throat was soothed and the whole thrilling adventure just seemed a part of the day’s work. As time goes by, and as I look back to that memorable night, I’ll always remember the wonderful taste of that welcome Lucky. As I went around to visit the men we'd rescued, I found many of them enjoying Luckies, too. We really couldn’t wait to get back to our ship and ‘Luckies.’ As an actual fact in returning to the ‘America’ I noticed one of our men* rowing with one hand and lighting a ‘Lucky’ with the other. There’s no flavor to equal toasted tobaccos, and I always prefer Lucky Strikes. There’s wisdom in the saying: ‘Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.’ It helps a man to keep physically fit and we who follow the sea must always be prepared for any Chief Officer, now Acting Captain, “S.
