"Many can't pay tbeir taxes" bas

and the records ebow tbat it's true

sorrowful as tbe picture. Michigan

the past two years crop and price

The farmer got it in tbe neck
when tbe bottom dropped out of
prices, and last year his crops were
almost a failure. Those who provided for cbe "rainy day" wben business was fine bave weathered tie

by the taxes returned uncollected,

Tbe Western Girl as prod no ed by
bome talent at tbe Doberty Auditorium Tuesday and Wednesday nights
drew two crowds and proved a delightful entertainment. J. Bart
Laugblin produced the sbow for the
Clare Library Association and those
in charge are to be congratulated on
tbeir success.
Eacb and everyone in tbe play did
well, but if any special mention is to
be given Natban Bioknell is entitled
to the bonors, Mr. Bicknell played
tbe comedy character of Doc Rye and
was a scream from first to last curtain. His laughable appearance and
ability to deliver hie lines in a natural manner, kept the audience convulsed witb laughter. He was at bis
best in tbe love scenes with Arabella
and managed to ston the sbow completely in the second act. His every
appearance was a elgnal for a laugh
and there is no gainsaying tbe fact
tbat bis services will be In demand
for future entertainments of tbis kind.
Mrs. Flossie Laugblin played opposite Mr. Bicknell and made tbe
part of Arabella stand ont by Itself.
Mre. Langhlin shared witb Mr. Bicknell many of the laughing acenes and
helped greatly in tbe smoothness of
tbe entire performance.
Jay Green, as Frank Marvel, foreman of tbe rancb, was excellent. As
a cow vpuncner, bis work oonld not
bave been Improved npon and this
could partly be accounted for by bis
close study and rehearsal to tbe part-
Green made an Ideal Marvel.
Mrs. Wilms Acbard, wbo played
Florence Curtis, the boss of Z rancb,
was an exceptional success. Mrs.
Acbard appeared In two changes of
costume, a classy traveling enlt and
a Western costume, in both of wbicb
she was very charming. One could
not Imagine a better (Western Girl
than Mrs. Acbard and ber ability was
very apparent in tbe manner in which
she played tbe part.
Milton Kranse played the thankless
role of Richard Huntley and was
very effective in many scenes. Prevented from attending most of tbe
rehearsals by being called from tbe
city, handicapped Mr. Kranse to a
certain extent, however, be did very
well and made a capital Huntley. -
A small part, witb not enough opportunity, was played by Earl Fobs,
but tbis did not stand in bis way of
getting many a laugh and making a
good bit. Ae Hungry Joe, he amused
everyone by constantly eating bologna.
Tbe mob scene showed training
and made a very effective scene at
tbe finale of theSsecbnd act. Horton
Case, Stewart Bicknell, Walter Ar-
rand and Wlilard Bicknell took tbe
parte of the Mexicans and greasers
and all did well.
The vaudeville numbers between
acts were all bigb grade and furnished
strong contrast to tbe Western set.
tings. Oasb Stanford offered a black
face song and dance act tbat would
any professional vaudeville bill. In
make np. be is a double for Al Jolson
and his first appearance brought tbe
laughs. Stanford delivered several
good Isinging numbers, chief among
which were "Tacky Home" and
"Wabash Blues." He also gave a
delightful monologue of funny joB.ee,
tbat kept tbe audience In a roar, and
be couldn't resist making several of
bis friends in the -audience tbe bntt
of tbe joke. Then followed tbe best
part of his act, a snappy dance, wbicb
drew rounds of applause and put bim
over big with everyone. Stanford is
clever and Laugblin tbe director is
figuring on bis services heavily for
tbe next performances to be given at
tbe new sobool auditorium, wben
either Caprice or a minstrel sbow
will be given.
Mr. C. C. Gates substituted for Mr.
Stanford the first night and rendered
aeveral beantiful saxapbohe solos to
tbe delight of everyone. Mr. Gates
secures a beautiful tone and exeoutes
with great smoothness. His playing
of "Spring Song" waa a musical
treat.

Hundreds of Mioblgan fruit trees

and thousands of others will bs unprintable for years to come as a result of damage caused by field mice
daring tbe past fall aod winter, unless proper care is taken of tbe injured trees, according to Prof. Roy
Marshall of tbe M. A. C. horticultural department.
"Few fruit growers fully realize
tbe extent to which field mice bave
girdled the trunks of three to twenty
year old apple trees tbis year'", says
Professor Marshall in discussing the
question. - •
"Trees from wbicb tbe bark has
been removed for one-fourth or
more of the circumference should
be bridge-grafted about tbe time tbe
growth starts in -the spirng. The
grafts should be placed about one to
ooe and one-balf inches apart around
the tree. Detailed directions for
tbe work may be bad by writing the
Michigan Agricultural College.
"Tbe fact tbat tbe mice eat the
bark at or jue^below tbe surface of
the ground causes many cf tbe injuries to be overlooked unless a careful inspection is made. Tbe damage

orchards wbere a barbor is' provided
by tbe grase snd wbere runways

J. Bart Laugblin produced the sbow for the Clare Library Association and those in charge are to be congratulated on tbeir success. Eacb and everyone in tbe play did well, but if any special mention is to be given Natban Bioknell is entitled to the bonors, Mr. Bicknell played tbe comedy character of Doc Rye and was a scream from first to last curtain. His laughable appearance and ability to deliver hie lines in a natural manner, kept the audience convulsed witb laughter. He was at bis best in tbe love scenes with Arabella and managed to ston the sbow completely in the second act. His every appearance was a elgnal for a laugh and there is no gainsaying tbe fact tbat bis services will be In demand for future entertainments of tbis kind. Mrs. Flossie Laugblin played opposite Mr. Bicknell and made tbe part of Arabella stand ont by Itself. Mre. Langhlin shared witb Mr. Bicknell many of the laughing acenes and helped greatly in tbe smoothness of tbe entire performance. Jay Green, as Frank Marvel, foreman of tbe rancb, was excellent. As a cow vpuncner, bis work oonld not bave been Improved npon and this could partly be accounted for by bis close study and rehearsal to tbe part- Green made an Ideal Marvel. Mrs. Wilms Acbard, wbo played Florence Curtis, the boss of Z rancb, was an exceptional success. Mrs. Acbard appeared In two changes of costume, a classy traveling enlt and a Western costume, in both of wbicb she was very charming. One could not Imagine a better (Western Girl than Mrs. Acbard and ber ability was very apparent in tbe manner in which she played tbe part. Milton Kranse played the thankless role of Richard Huntley and was very effective in many scenes. Prevented from attending most of tbe rehearsals by being called from tbe city, handicapped Mr. Kranse to a certain extent, however, be did very well and made a capital Huntley. - A small part, witb not enough opportunity, was played by Earl Fobs, but tbis did not stand in bis way of getting many a laugh and making a good bit. Ae Hungry Joe, he amused everyone by constantly eating bologna. Tbe mob scene showed training and made a very effective scene at tbe finale of theSsecbnd act. Horton Case, Stewart Bicknell, Walter Ar- rand and Wlilard Bicknell took tbe parte of the Mexicans and greasers and all did well. The vaudeville numbers between acts were all bigb grade and furnished strong contrast to tbe Western set. tings. Oasb Stanford offered a black face song and dance act tbat would any professional vaudeville bill. In make np. be is a double for Al Jolson and his first appearance brought tbe laughs. Stanford delivered several good Isinging numbers, chief among which were "Tacky Home" and "Wabash Blues." He also gave a delightful monologue of funny joB.ee, tbat kept tbe audience In a roar, and be couldn't resist making several of bis friends in the -audience tbe bntt of tbe joke. Then followed tbe best part of his act, a snappy dance, wbicb drew rounds of applause and put bim over big with everyone. Stanford is clever and Laugblin tbe director is figuring on bis services heavily for tbe next performances to be given at tbe new sobool auditorium, wben either Caprice or a minstrel sbow will be given. Mr. C. C. Gates substituted for Mr. Stanford the first night and rendered aeveral beantiful saxapbohe solos to tbe delight of everyone. Mr. Gates secures a beautiful tone and exeoutes with great smoothness. His playing of "Spring Song" waa a musical treat.

Hundreds of Mioblgan fruit trees will die during the coming season and thousands of others will bs unprintable for years to come as a result of damage caused by field mice daring tbe past fall aod winter, unless proper care is taken of tbe injured trees, according to Prof. Roy Marshall of tbe M. A. C. horticultural department. "Few fruit growers fully realize tbe extent to which field mice bave girdled the trunks of three to twenty year old apple trees tbis year'", says Professor Marshall in discussing the question. - • "Trees from wbicb tbe bark has been removed for one-fourth or more of the circumference should be bridge-grafted about tbe time tbe growth starts in -the spirng. The grafts should be placed about one to ooe and one-balf inches apart around the tree. Detailed directions for tbe work may be bad by writing the Michigan Agricultural College. "Tbe fact tbat tbe mice eat the bark at or jue^below tbe surface of the ground causes many cf tbe injuries to be overlooked unless a careful inspection is made. Tbe damage bae been more prevalent in sod orchards wbere a barbor is' provided by tbe grase snd wbere runways are not disturbed by cultivation. "Little If any further damage will be done by the mice until late rail or early winter. Previous to snob time, tbe mice sbould be poisoned by placing poisoned bait in the runways. Bait should be made by mixing powdered strychnine and bicarbonate of soda witb moist} crushed wheat. ■■* '■*'■& CIRCUIT COURT CONVENED MONDAY Judge Ray Hart Hands Our Stiff Sentences to Viola- 7 tors of Law. sight.
