Hig Things Coming to Goshien Next Season When in Goshen s fow days ago, Harry G. Sommers of ths Knickerbocker theater, New York wopo is! also lessee and manager of the Jef forson and -who controls & circuit of | playhouses in Michigan and Indiana known as the Somimaers circuit, gave (it ,‘N!‘ interview 1o counection with ’ next season. Mr. Sommers said: ‘ “llam as yet unable to anvounce the date of the regular fall opening | at the Jetterson which will start the fifth season at that theater. Indica- | tiona are that the usual number of | “high class -*”t‘flngfl wili be presented in Goshen the coming season and | Ligonter people who rely upon :hn§ Jetlerson for their amusement will | have a chance to see many of the New York hits. During the fall‘% winter and spring, attractions uunder the management.of Klaw & !irhngeri Charles Frobhman, Henry W. Savage | Charles B. Dillingbam, John (‘nrt.% Liebler & Co., David Belasco, Har-| rison Grey FKiske, (‘n.x*s_;fl & Harris, | Daniel V. Arthur, Henty B. Hnrris.i Joseph M. Gaites, Barton & Wiswell, | Daniel V. Arthur and other impnr-] tant producers will be offered. In the past the JefTerson has had some notable things, but I hope to equal and possibly sarpass the record during 1909-1910.- Ligonier always turns out for a standard production and next season those people who appre_ciate what is newest and best on the stage will have several opportunities “of making trips to the Jetferson. Business at the playhouse last season was very satisfactory. Throughout the country I anticipate a vast improvement in industrial and commercial conditions. The theater is a good business barometer. When the playbouse is prosperous, there i 8 plenty of money in circulation for amusement is a luxury.”. - _ Next season Mr., Sommers will control houses in Grand Rapids, Benton Harbor and Dowagiac, Michigan and in South Bend, Goshen, Richmond, Marion and Elkhart. He will also book Hall's in Laporte and in fall of 1910 will start a booking contract at the Cairo theater, Cairo, 111. ~ Trustee Notice : 1 will maintain an office at the Farmers' and Merchants’ Trust Co. and will be found there Saturday of each week for the transaction of public business. @ H.

- Land Schemes The mu!ru;‘:nmnn papers these days are tilled with advertisements that | offer small farms for sale. Rieh fruit orchards on the sand dunes of Florida aud pleces of irrigated desarts in Colorado are offered on terms so easy that almost every Wage earner can become s land owner, The many advertisements must mean that IMANY | people are turning to the sofl. The market for iland bas brought forward many wild schemes which are sure to bring disappointment and loss to Investors After several years of wonderful prosperity among farmers and gardeners the inipression prevails that the mere ownership of land is enough to assure competence for all who invest. The land agents fail to explain that those who have been succesaful have gdevoted years of study to the bustness and that experieuce counts for much. Even a successful farmer of Indiana who goes to & new territory has much to learn aboutlocal conditions, and while getting experience he pays the cost The iniquity of land schemes, which promise big returns to those who Kknow absolutely nothing about the geience of farming is evident. In buying land in these days of schemes it is advisable for prospective purchasers to have definite and personal knowledge concerning thelland. And the man who will jump from the offlce or from some trade toa small acreage that promises fabulous returns should take a course in agriculture before starting out. There was a time when it was thought that all a farmer had to do was to put sved in the ground and then work like a slave. Buat the successful farmer of today 18 the man who puts brains into his work and understands the science of farming. Great wrong is being done by the glaring advertisements of land companies. The promises of these concerns is ona ‘par with those of ‘mining companies which would have the ignorant believe that & mountain side claim is necessarily a producing mine.—Lafayette Journal.
