collectors can do nothing except col

THE Beef Trust. having cornerel

ter and eggs, which would be even
a greater hardship than putting up
the price of meat. The purpose of
the Trust is to put up the price of
every commodity the people put on
their tables. 1t is only another
case OF the many contributing to
the few who grow richer and rich
er as the years roll by. BY the aid
of their millions they fix the prices
OF the commodities that have to be
purchased by the poor as well as the
rich. The rich can take care of
themselves. 1t is a needless hard

ticn OF l.. Ford's widely read Revo-
lutlonary novel, the sale of which
has reached the phenomenal figure
of half million copies.

surrender to Washington, October,
lISl. The foundation of the love
interest between Janice and Charles
Fowncs, the bondsman. afterward
Colonel Jack Brercton of General
Washington S staff, is laid in the first
act. In this respect the play is a
wide departure from the book story
wherein the attachment Of Janice for
Rrereton is not made apparent until
the last chapters. The strong drama
tic interest has its foundation in the
gunpowder Incident. Fowncs escap-
ing from The British officers and cor
veylng to Washington the powder
purchased by the village militia for
the approaching Revolutionary War.
Miss Manncring's particularly strong
situations are in the second and third
acts. At the second act, after aiding
the escape of Colonel Jack Brcrcton,
the continental Dispatch bearer, jan
ice calls on the British officers to
drink a toast -"Success to Washing
ton. y Al the end of the third
act sends a dispatch to Colonel
Rail- the lIeSsian commander at
Trenton, which was written to Sir
William Howe, the British command
ant. to General Washington.
The last act of the play, which is
laid in dismantlcd house in York
town on the day Of Corvallis sur
render to Washington. is really
poetic dramatic creation. Colonel
Brereton saves Janice from being kid
mapped by Lord Cloves, the British
spy, and the love interest of the play
eliminates just as the Continental
sentries are heard uttering the his.
