MAJESTIC BILL
ENTERTAINING
Vaudeville Program Is Good;
~ . Could Improve Some
of the Acts
While large audiences enjoyed the
vaudeville program at the Majestic
last night the opinion of many who
are regular patrons at the theater
was that the bill was entertaining:
but parts of some of the acts could
be improved.
The Apollo Trio treated the audi
ences to some funny acrobatic stunts
as the opening number. Barry and
I/elghton, the "All Around Boys," fol
lowed in a clever offering. Leonard
and Whitney, in "Duffy's Rise," had
a laughable skit which at times had
a tendency toward foolishness. The
plot of the skit is good, however.
Hendricks and Padula drew the
greatest applause by their singing,
which was excellent. The act was
encored and is among the best that
has been presented here this season.
"Tom" Linton and his "Jungle
Girls" sang some good songs in "The
l'p-to-Date Missionary," which was a
bit lengthy. The feature was thej
"snowball" song, in which the chorus
starred, and made a big hit when
they threw "snowballs" at the audi
ence.—MAX ROBERTSON.

Grow a DIAMOND
Yourself
Do you know that many people in Harrisburg are
"growing Diamonds"? Perhaps you never heard of
I such a thing—nevertheless, there's nothing new about
it and it is not at all absurd. In fact it is one of the
most sensible things to do. Here is how it is done—
at Claster's for instance:
You come In an.d buy a diamond —say for $25.00. You put It
on and wear It until you feel you ca nspare a little more money
and would llko a larger one, then you come back and select one
for a higher price • Bay $50.00, You trade in the first one
as part payment at the full price you paid for it ($25.00) and
pay the difference in, oasli. You then wear the $50.00 diamond
until you feel able to own a larger one. You come back again
—and select'another that is still larger worth $75.00 or maybe
a hundred dollars. You turn In the $50.00 one at full price,
paying the difference In cash. You can, keep on in this way
until you have "grown" a diamond that meets your Ideals In
quality and size.
We have a number of customers who started in this way by
buying diamonds for less than $25.00 who are now wearing
tine, large ones worth hundreds of dollars each.
We Guarantee to Allow Full Price For
Any Diamond Purchased Here in Ex
change For a Larger One at Any Time

NOT FIND IT CONVENIENT TO PAY THE
FULL PRICE FOR A DIAMOND

WHEAT GRADES
HIGH THIS YEAR
No Truth to Rumors That New
Government Standards
Would Be Hardship
Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.—-A
large part of this year's wheat crop
has graded high at the markets —
No. 3 or better —under the federal
wheat standards made effective this
year. The United States Department
of Agriculture calls attention to the
exact figures because persistent false
rumors have been circulated In the
grain trade, and particularly among
country shippers and producers, to
the effect that, under the new fed
eral standards for wheat, very little
of the marketed crop is being, or has
been, placed in the higher grades.
On the contrary, the requirements
of the federal standards ior wheat
are not such as to work hWtlship on
the country shippers and producers,
for under these standards high
grades have been given to a heavy
percentage of the wheat marketed.
The Department of Agriculture
calls attention to these facts:
(1) Of the Hard Red Spring
Wheat which arrived in Minneapolis
during the months of August and
September 1914, 1915 and 1916, 76.7
per cent, graded No. 3 or better un
der Minnesota state standards for
wheat in effect at that time.
Of the Hard Red Spring Wheat
which arrived at Minneapolis during
August and the first 22 days of Sep
tember this year, 81.2 per • cent,
graded No. 3 or better uni\pr the
federal standards.
In comparising the above facts, it
should be borne in mind that where
as "No. 3 or better" under Minne
sota state standards Included the
first four grades (No. 1 Hard and
Nos. 1, 2, 3, Northern) only the
first three grades of the federal
standards have been considered.
(2) Of the Hard Red Winter
Wheat which arrived at Chicago dur
ing July and August this year, 79.3
per cent, graded No. 3 or better un
der federal standards; of the Soft
Red Winter Wheat which arrived at
Chicago during the same period, 72.5
per cent, graded No, 3 or better un
der the federal standards.
Of the Hard Red Winter Wheat
which arrived at Kansas City during
July and August this year, 89.9 per 1
cent, graded No. 3 or better under
the federal standards; of the Soft
lied Winter Wheat which arrived at
Kansas City during the same period,
92.6 per cent, graded No. 3 or bet
ter under the federal standards.
Electric Chair For Fat
Persons Is New Stunt
The inventor of a very comfortable
looking electric chair on exhibition
at the Electrical Exposition can
hardly be classed with those who as
sert that "nobody loves a fat man."
This electric chair dlf^ ers radically
from the famous one at Sing Sing in
that its purpose is not to execute but
rather to remove painlessly surplus
flesh. In fact, to secure the desired
results, all that stout people have to
do is to recline leisurely in the chair
for a few minutes every day.
The professor in charge of this
chair states that It accomplishes the
desired results primarily through the
synchronous contraction of the mus
calature; and secondarily, through
the electric-chemical action of the
Faradic current passing through the
tissues. This chair Is one of the
features of the Electrical hospital
which in turn Is one of the one hun
dred and fifty exhibits at the Elec
trical Exposition.
Captive Ships at Manila
Our keels are furred with tropic
weed that clogs the crawling
tides
And scarred with crust *)f salt and
rust that gnaws our Idle sides;
And little Junks they come and
go.
And ships they sail at dawn;
And all the outbound wind that
blow,
They call us to be gone.
As yearning to the lifting seas our
gaunt flotilla rides.
Drifting aimless to and fro,
Sport of every wind a-blow.
Swinging to the ebb and flow
Of lazy tropic tides.
And once we knew the clean sea
ways to sail them prldefully;
And once we met the clean sea winds
and gave them greeting free;
And honest craft, they spoke us
fair,
Who'd scorn to speak u now;
And little craft, they'd not beware
To cross a German bow
When yet the flag of Germany had
honor on the sea,
And now, of all that seaward
fare,
what ship of any port is there
But would dip her flag to a
black corsair
Ere she'd signal such as we!
Yet we are ribbed with Norseland
steel and fleshed with Viking
pine,
That's fashioned of the soil -which
bred the hosts of Charle
magne;
And clad we are with rusting
pride
Of stays and links and plates
That lay within the mountain
side
Where Barbarossa waits—
The mighty Fred'rick, thralled In
sleep, held by the ancient sign,
While yet. the ravens circle wide
Above that guarded mountain
side
Full fed with carrion from the
tide
Of swinish red rapine!
Oh, we have known the German men
when German men were true.
And we have borne the German flag
when honor was her due;
But sick we are of honest scorn
From honest merchantmen—
The winds, they call us to be
gone
Down to the seas again—
Down to the seas where waves lift
white and gulls sheer In the
blue,
Shriven clean of our blood
bought scorn
By a foeman's flag—aye, proud
ly borne!—
Cleaving out In the good red
dawn —
Out again to the blue!
—Dorothy Paul in the Saturday Eve
ning Post.

BFES FATALLY STING
BABY IN CARRIAGE
Los Angeles. Attacked by a
warra of bees while having a morn
ing nap in its buggy out of doors,
♦he elghteen-months-old baby of Mr.
nnd Mrs. George Benson, of Santa
Monica, was stung, perhaps fatally.
The bees swarmed round the In
fant as It slept and one stung the
hlld. This caused the babe to wake,
crying and kicking. The bees be
"ame excited by the kicking, and,
before the mother oould rush from
♦he house, the bees had stung the
child Innumerable times. Both Its
eyes were swollen shut and It was
'eared that It may not recover from
the attack.
