Two complete programmes will be shown: the first will be "Disorderly Con- duct,'"' the second will be ""Con- eress Dances,"' a musical com- edy, comedies and other features will be added. The -two programmes have been specially selected and should give entire satisfaction. We realize that most of thel people in this town and district | are not earning as much as they did a few years ago and we feel that it is our duty to meet this condition by lowering our prices to the public, so instead of sitting in the old rut and waiting for something to turn up, we are offering these new prices just to satisfy ourselves that we have at least done our part. : Don't kid ms that you have scen better pictures, and heard better sound, for it's only last week that a 'young man from New York told us, 'You have wonderful sound, it's so clear. why you have New York beat a mile." You can just imagine how puffy I felt and how happy it makes me to know that we not only have good pictures and good sound, but that the price is lower than any town in the West. So drop in soon and give a look at the two big shows arranged for you, and if the plan is a success, we will con- tinue it. - Yours truly, M. Bailey.

FARM Montreal, January 6.--A large area of marsh land in the Sas- katchewan River delta southeast of The Pas is reported to be the scene of a huge muskrat-farming enterprise on which operations have started. The fur rancher ig Tom Lamb, experienced fur and operator of the Moose Lake trading post, who, it is stated, has secured author- ity from the Manitoba Govern- ment to carry on muskrat farim- ing in an area of 53,920 acres hounded by the Summerberry and Head rivers. The area amounts to upwards of 80 square miles and contains 124 lakes connected by a series of streams offering 241 miles of trapping lines. The lease of the island is for five years at the end of which time, if satisfactory prog- ress has been made, a renewal would be given. Lamb is start- ing with 300 muskrats and ex- pects to have 26,000 three years ! hence. The arrangement includes the building of dams and no fur to be taken until after three years. The district around The Pas and along the Hudson Bay raliway formerly produced a tremendous number of muskrats for the fur markets of the world, It is stated that 1,000.- 000 of these furs were shipped out of The Pas in 1902. In 1912 the number dropped to 300,000 znd in 1926 only 40000 were therefore starts in an area re- cognized as probably the great- est natural breeding place for muskrats in North America and success will do much to restore the distriet's production of this fur. The area under one manage- ment is probably the largest muskrat farm in tre world. THAT WAS A BIG LIVER Montreal, January 5--Shakes- peare talks of 'livers white as milk."
