reer as u stage play. It has been
the most successful of all plays by
Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. Its presen
tation a may be count-si by the thou
sands and its popularity lias extend
ed over many latitudes. The rea
son of this is not far to seek; ii
[proclaims itself in tile genii'' human
ity and genial humor of the play.
Air. Pinero avowedly dv.-igned tlr
.piece as a pleasant entert ilnmeat
not as a “problem play," and the
proof that lie accomplished his pur
poso is the fact of the work's phe
nomonally successfully naroor in all
parts of the world.
Bticlah Marie l)ix, famous write,
of stories and plays, prepared tilt
scenario. She leas preserved ail o!
the original humor, making only
such slight changes as were ncees

for American audiences.

‘‘Way Down East," at the Palac'
tonight, by Lottie Blair Parker, was
first products! as a sluge play in 184*6
j under the titles of “Aijnie Laurie.” A
tour of .Vow England ia .-vested the
fact that certain alterations in the
play's construction were needed, and
it was temporarily withdrawn by its
(producer, Mr. William A. Brady.
Mr. Brady's partner, Mr. Joseph K.
Grismer, elaborated the work of Mi -
1 Parker, and the play in its new form
and renamed “Way Down East," was
I shown within a few months at tlie

that time considered *a phenomenal
run.
There Were many gala perform

KUO EXE, Oii'„ .Kin, 25.- A for

siH’ic sfully raisi'j broccoli teed in
largo quantities, according to local,
broccoli- grower,-. The price of lac |
seed has recently advanced from $25 I
to $02 a pound, and il is still scarce-j
even at the new prte •, s ly growers,
near hero and around l-toseburg. th |
two Oregon point that >,).’idolize in
this crop.
Ilroccoli tieod is three times an \
I valuable as an eptal weight of sll-;
ver, say the local producera. At $32 |
a pound, the ■•■•d is worth $2 an
rmnci. while recent sUver quotations ,
I list tile metal at '14 2-4 e Mils an
| ounce. Because of it s extreme value
and great scarcity, local broccoi.
growers keep the ree l in safety de
posit boats in bank vaults. Tie
seeds are extremely small and easily
affected by moisture
Although tlie seed is expensive, 1
goes a long way. li estimated ilia’
a pound of the tieod will produce
enough plants to cover eight acres
| of ground. The value of the seed in
traceable to. its size, scarcity and
!the trouble required to raise it. Tv, j
j years tiro required lo produce the
j seed.
1 Broccoli is a member of the cab
I bage family. It is also called “win
I ter cauliflower," because it matures
! in mid-winter. Only by careful se
: lection has it he m brought away
I from tho parent plant, and according
I to local growers, it frequently re
verts to type. Kor this reason the
seed producers use every care to
see that, the plants trom which the

are perfect in every particular.
