A year ago last June London added its endorsement to that of America and "Daddy Long legs" ran at the Duke of York Thea ter for over twelve months. Australia came next with record engagements. Meanwhile two companies were pre senting it in the larger cities of the United States and Canada for two seasons. This season Mr. Miller is presenting two companies in the com edy in the English provinces and one company in the .'United States and Canada. The or/ginal producer still retains all rights to the production of Jean Webster's play, and has refused manv flattering offers for its release. That Henry Miller will present it here under his own direction will please plavgoers, for the Miller stamp to any production means much in excellence of cast and stage setting. The play comes to the Orpheum next Wednes day, matinee and night.

STATE FAILS TO INCREASE WHEAT Increase to The State Depart- j j partment of Agriculture In- ; dicate 70,000 New Acres Doubts whether the farmers of | Pennsylvania will be able to plant i half of the increased acreage of , wheat asked by the National govern- j' ment are expressed in a bulletin is sued by the State Department of Agriculture. Lack of enough farm i labor and unusually wet weather are assigned as reasons. The national government asked for 202,000 acres to bo added to the state's wheat acreage of about 1,300,000 and for 70.000 additional acres of rye. The bulletin says: "Reports reaching the Pennsyl vania Department of Agriculture show that there will be a slight in crease in the acreage of wheat, but it is doubtful if it will total more than five per cent, over the acreage of the past year. It has been prac tically impossible for the farmers to! get labor to dig their potatoes and cut the Vorn and thousands of acres that might have been sown to either wheat or rye still have the corn crop untouched. In many sections it has been a custom to follow corn with wheat , but the failure to harvest the j corn crop will mean the loss of thousands of acres in wheat. From present indications the acreage in crease in wheat will be about 70,000 acres. "The same conditions confront the| farmers in increasing the rye acreage but from present indications the in crease in this crop will be even less than five per cent. From present in - i dications the Increased acreage will total more than 10,000 acres. "The wet weather has been a big j factor in cutting down the efforts 1 of the farmers who have planned for larger acreages in both wheat and rye. With available labor It has practically been Impossible for the> farmers in many sections to get their ground in condition for the sowing of the wheat and rye. The cold and wet weather which has practically followed since the frosts of Septem ber 10 and 11 has caused great de lays for the farmers and in every section of the state they are from two to three weeks back in their work for this time of the year. Re ports from some sections say that many acres of corn remain uncut and In some sections it has been im possible to get the help to dig the potato crop. KIKFFER-IiUCIITER WEDDING Marietta. Pa..

This decision was reached after careful deliberation. Rather than offer goods in the future that we cannot stand behind, we prefer to close out the reliable clothing we have on hand. As we are going to discontinue, it is not necessary to base our prices on replacement value. This alone make them better values, but we have gone a step further and made substantial reductions. You know the gg motive that has actuated the closing of our stock. We are going to terminate 1 Iwith a "clean slate."
