Mr. Rogers and I have dreamed that we might some day own a little farm where we could raise chickens and vegetables. Yesterday out of a clear sky this good fortune cme to us and I can't tell you how happy it has. made us." This is the statement made this morning by Mrs. Charles Rogers. 24S Michigan avenue, Hammond, who won the twenty acre farm given by Woods, Martin & Co. as the first prize at their sale at Madison Terrace yesterday. The farm in question is located four miles from Holland, Michigan, two miles north of Ottawa Reach and near the 600 acre Getz farm, one of the finest and best known farms In Western Michigan. It Is three-quarter of a mile from Lake Michigan. AEROPLANE STUNTS GREAT. The stunt of dropping the tickets from an aeroplane was a real thriller. The shower of pastboards were glistening white as they came down and all over the subdivision there was a wild scramble to get them. One man, Sam Rose. 492 Trankle Court, about five feet tall and four feet wide, made as much speed as he could but the best he could do was to get one ticket. That one ticket won him the cash prize of $50.00. A woman, red faced and out of breath came running up to the tract office all out of breath and was' among the first to deposit tickets. She understood the first ten people in were to win prizes. Neverthe

less she won a $20.00 cash prize and

chased. It is plainly indicated that Hammond is actually overflowing into the recently annexed Hessville territory and that in a very 'short time, with the co-operation of the residents of South Hammond, the city will be built up solidly to Fifteenth avenue. It is safe to say that confidence was largely inspired by the fact that 'the subdividers have gone ahead and put in the paving and sidewalks. For instance every lot on . Standard avenue, excepting two corners have been disposed of. The boulevarding project that the city has under way is largely responsible for the great interest in this street. PIRrilASERS STILL COMING The sales agents of Madison Terrace expect to sell forty or fifty lots as the aftermath of the great sale. This morning purchasers were still coming in and making good on their promise to come back later with a deposit on

the lots selected.

It is expected that every lot

south of Vine street will be sok

before the end of the week and al

ready fifty lots have been sold south of Vine street. In accordance with a recent- advertisement, the Madison Terrace Realty company is considering seriously, the question of making an increase in their lot prices of J50 for forty feet. If these increases are decided on they will be announced in the next ten days. LIST OF PRIZE WINNERS. 1st Prize: Twenty acre farm in Michigan.

THE influence of the movies : has never been j better demon-1

strated than in the

U ( prevailing style in 1 girls. Selznick Vl produced, in the jk Spring of 1920, a fa ,1 photoplay titled

"The Flapper." Two years later, there now run at large a million "flappers" to every foot of the film.

Comes a movie that, through its title, admits it is "More to Be Pitied Than Scorned." Lengthening skirts come just in time for the revival of photoplays made a few years ago.

We are told that "The Old Homcl

stead" will be elaborated for the screen. Probably Uncle Josh will get his market reports by radio. An Irish proverb might have been written for the movie fan: "Don't see all you see and hear all you hear." Myron Selznick has "loaned Niles Welch to the producer of From Rags to Riches." Welch will play the role of a paper-stock manufacturer. Shakespeare and Movies "I will make my very house reel to-night." (Corialianus, Act I.) "We will draw the curtain and show you the picture." (Twelfth Night, Act I.) . "Look here upon this picture and n this." (Hamlet, Act III.) , "A weak and neggardly projection." (Henry VAct II.) "The Servant Question" having been settled in films, "Domestic Relations" are to be disclosed. It may be only a policeman. No one has yet produced a photoplay of the Elizabethan er with motors, telephones and revolver-in-the-drawer episodes. Probably aq oversight. ,
