"Frivolities" admits lacking but one thing. It is utterly devoid of plot. As a substitute it offers a spirited and im pertinent succession of singing, dancing and comedy surprises, satires and cur rent social, political and theatrical epi sodes, and bizarre and dariug scenic ef fects. One critic has labeled the revue "the radium and musical mixups." A company of 75 is implicated in this flippant plot against all things drab and solemn.

Of unusual interest to music lovers of Great Falls is the fact that the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, which will appear at the Grand theater October 11. is largely maintained by a fund guaranteed by citizens of Minneapolis. The orchestra is under the leadership of Emil Oberhoffer, known as the "poet conductor," and acknowledged by the leading critics of the country as one of the foremost musical directors in Amer ica. The appreciation of the Minnea polis citizens who contribute to the or chestra's maintenance is shown by the size of the guarantee fund annually subscribed. When the orchestra was organized 17 years ago the annual guaranty was $10,000, but the amount has grown un til $125,000 is now subscribed every year. The donors kre called upon t<! pay from 60 per cent to 90 per cent of the guaranty antiually, and the fact that the guaranty list shows no changes during the last 17 years, except in the increase in the number of names, proves that the orchestra's supporters consider the investment a paying one. The individual guarantees vary from $50 to $1,000 and carry no priviliges, such as free tickets, each guarantor pay ing for his season tickets to the regu lar series of concerts the same as other subscribers. Cutting of Timber Montana and Idaho Showing a Decrease Special to The Daily Tribune. Butte, Oct. 6.—The amount of lumber cut in the national forests of Montana and northern Idaho shows a decrease, according to the report for August of the district forest service. For that month the cut was 12,591,000 feet of timber which was valued at $33,838, about $2,000 less than for the previous month. Timber sales in August amounted to 3.234,000 feet, which will bring the gov ernment $10,523. The two largest sales were in the Coeur d'Alene forest in which 1,400,000 feet were sold, and in the local Deer Lodge forest where 927,000 feet were disposed of. Seven small tracts were sold in the same month. There are indications that the lumber ing operations may extend to central and northern Montana, generally con sidered the prairie country, judging from the requests from operators to purchase timber chances in the Madison and Ileleua forests. l£TJ I Km go-its wml Home of 100% Pictures STARTS TODAY-ABSOLUTELY FIRST RUN A laugh-provoking comedy-drama of the Golden West is here, with that virile actor William Farnum In a western romance I lill» "The Joyous Troublemakers" A breezy out-of-doors picture that provides refreshing-sort, with an absorbing romance of love and gold Two Reel Sunshine Comedy "CHASE ME" FOX NEWS—MUTT AND JEFF Great Quantities of Peas and Cherries Put Up for the Retail Markets. Special to The Daily Tribune. Stevensville, Oct. Ö. —The withdrawal of the interests of the sugar company from Missoula and the Bitter Root \alley was a temporary setback to farm ing interests but other methods are being developed to bring steady incomes to the termers. Iu place of the sugar industry the Bitter Root Canning com pany is preparing a new -venture. There is a cluster of buildings beside the railroad track below Bass Spur, and these buildings are the beginning of what means prosperity to many this year and benefits to others in the future. The season's work of packing and loading the remainder of the canned goods now is being finished. There re mains at least 6,000 cases to be labeled and loaded into cars. With this work completed the buildings will he closed, and the machinery overhauled for the coming year. Beginning July 10, this year, 21,000 cases of canned peas were put up in 23-day peroid. During the next 30 days the samp force of help had finished can ning 2,900 gallons of cherries. Last year the product of this canning factory was shipped to other states, but this year jobbers did not permit shipments outside of Montana. When this season's pack was com pleted a crew of workers was engaged at sorting peas to be used next year for seed, the work only being abandoned when it was found not profitable. There still are 3,000 bushels_ of peas yet to be sorted for next year's seed._ During the last season 115 tons of eheeries were purchased at $140 a ton, and 250 tons of peas at $60 a ton. One roan with 18 acres of peas will receive $2.000 for his crop, and another with 100 acres will receive $8,500. This spring 510 acres had been planted for canning purposes but so many peas were brought to the factory that the workers were swamped, and only half the acre age could be handled in the green stage, and the balance of the crop has Seen saved for seed. The industry has ad vanced so rapidly that an enlarged factory plant now is being planned. The 100 workers employed in day and night shifts the last season have received wages to the extent of $12,000. Xo attempt was made to teach deaf mutes until the fifteenth century.
