AH ACRE OF TURNIPS
PAYING INVESTMENT
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 31.—Here are
cime facts and figures showing what
Georgia soil will do as a money-mak
er in the production of food crops.
On one-fourth of an aero of turnips,
John London, farmer, of Catoosa coun
ty, near Dalton, Ga., has sold $120,40
worth, and and still has a large sup
ply of turnips left.
Kven at tho present high price of
cotton. It is probable that no other
piece of ground of similar size In
Georgia has yielded a better Income
this year than London's turnip patch.
It goes to show the tremendous pos
sibilities of Intensive cultivation along
scientific lino.
Tho best students of tho BUbject
belli,v,. the farm lands of Georgia,
more dlverslfled than any other In the
world, will bo the gnrden spot of tho
earth in another generation, when
young men educated to scientific
mthods turn to the soil to make their
fortunes instead of going to the cities.

1«!« MCSICAL COMEDY TO BE
AT OEPRA HOl’SE MONDAY
. . - . . production according to tthe publlsh-
our sincerity ana our judgment the; ed judgments of overland reviewer*.
Not to see “Stop! Look* Listen!” ha3
been cited by one enthusiastic critic
as a calamity, and to witness it an
Snappy from the start, tuneful from
end to end, as beautiful to the eye as
rainbow and a» merry and gay
throughout the production as a night
at a circus, ig said to be “Stop! Look!
Listen,” tile new'big production due
here next Monday n’ght, Nov. 5th, for
one-night stand. This is the bi;
Irving Berlin-Charles Dillingham mus
ical comedy that held all New oYrit
captive for a year and a half, and
that last season made audiences ap
plaud and roar from coast to coast.
The father of rag-time, Irving Berlin,
has scored more, individual successes
lu America in the composition of
syncopated airs, than any other com
poser. No one will gainsay tho par
ticular flair for handsome effects in
scenes and costumes for which tho
name of Charles DiWnfham has stood
in the theatrical world of America for
a decade or more. With Berlin and
Dillingham in a combination, as they
are In “Stop! Look! Listen," the ef
fect may be anticipated. The same
big laugh spots that made tho New
york performances famous and last
season's road tour a red letter event
for the be-nighted, distinguished and
elegant performances, will be pre
sented again. Song after song that ir
resistibly charm, dance after dance
that overwhelmingly tickle the car and
eye and turns of speech ond conict
of comic character and situation that
spark laughs continuously, are but
some of the fascinations of the new
Chicago (irain Quotations.
