CLIMAX SCORED STRONG
Production Last Night Pleased Fargo
Observation-Disclosures Viii
Be Repeated Tonight.


The Climax came to Fargo widely
advertised as a great play and it did
not disappoint. After its success in
the east seven companies were started
this fall. All the United States is
covered and the companies are play
ing to q, big business everywhere.
Only four people are in the cast.
They are on the stage practically all
the time. at least the two leading
characters The play Is dramatic to
a high deeree ana the interest is in
tense at times, relieved by the clever
comedy of the old italian teacher.
Walter Wilson scores a great sue
cess as Luigi GoIfanti, the music
teacher. He has wonderfully ex-
pressive face and eyes and is as
strong in the pathetic parts as In the
humor, He adniralbly portrays the
teacher and gets the proper tempera-
ment
Juliette Atkinson as .Adelina Won
Hagen is most acceptable. Here Is
difficult part. 1t requires vocal
ability as well as histrionic power and
the combination is rare. Miss AulUin-
son may not be too great lin either
but she admirably meets the require
ments in both.
Frederick Forester as DR.. Raymond
is the weakest member of the cast
He is stiff and stacy beyond the de-
mands Of the character.
Walter Dale as Pietro Golfanti. the
son of the teacher is rather light az
an actor but he is a pleasing and
capable pianist.
The Climax will be repeated this
evening and those who were unable
to attend last night will have good
time in store for themselves, If they
can go tonight.

THE FARMERS WIFE.

The Washington Herald contrasts
the lives Of the rural and the city
housewives-to the advantage of the
former, in the following editorial:
The lot of the farmers wife has
ceased to be an unhappy one-at least
OF necessity. No longer may the
women Of the city extend a need of
pity TO the rural sisterhood, formerly
pictured as peculiarly subject to in
sanity because of the dreary monotony
OF daily drudgery and isolation of ex-
istence. The situation is reversed. II
Is the woman wage Garner in the
crowded city who now turns wearied
eyes with longing from factory to
farm and who yearns for the open life
near to the consolation Of mother earth
together with the prosperity and con-
tentment of the farmers home.
There is serious truth behind the
semijocular appreciation OF the farm
er's automobiles and the diamonds of
his wife and daughters. The day of
their drudgery has passed. They shar-
ed the hardships of the pioneers; now
the may share in the subsequent pros
perity. Machinery has lightened the
labor of the farms, in the house and
the dairy as well as in the field. II
rural women cannot gossip from win
dow to window or across the garden
fence, they have the telephone; and
when the occasion offers they can do
their shopping or enjoy an urban en-
tertainment with swiftness and ease
The rural delivery brings mental con-
tact to the door, and the farmers in
stitute has its counterpart in the WON
ems Cube of various alliances and
titles Home life in the country has
become elevated, sweetened, and re.
fined not merely by the wealth of the
land, but by the progress of civilza.

efficiency and power Of the student
volunteers movement is the number Of
sailed volunteers. AT the Toronto con-
vention in 1902 it was reported that 7SO
volunteers had sailed during the pre-
ceding four years. In the quadrennium
following the Toronto convention and
ending with the Nashville convention
in 1906, 1000 volunteers sailed. Dur
ing the four years which have since
elapsed, ending with the Rochester
convention, 1888 volunteers have
sailed, or nearly 800 more than for the
quadrennium ending with the Nash
vile convention. The total number Of
volunteers who have sailed since the
beginning of the movement in 1885. is
4,346.
Another test Of the rising tide Of
practical missionary interest among
students is the increase in their mis-
sionary giving. At Nashville 1t was re-.
ported that the students Of North
America were contributing $4,000 q
year to missionary objects, or an in
crease in four years of nearly sixty
per cent. There are literally scores Of
colleges and schools each supporting
entirely or in large part it's own repre-
sentative on the foreign field. The
students Of Yale head the list at pres
ent with their contribution last year Of
fully $4,000 to missionary objects.
Among women's colleges the students
of Vassar made the largest contribu-
ton having given last year, $685..

WHO GETS BIG END OF PROFIT
Secretary Wilson Investigating Rela
tons of Producer and Consumer.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Secretary Will
son Is probing deeply into the import
ant phases of the question of why the
cost of living is going up.
Thru the hundreds of employees of
the department who are in the field he
in finding out to what extent retail
prices Of food products exceed whole
sale prices, or, in other words, what are
the gross profits of retailers of food
products.
What the secretary wants to know Is
just why it is that the ultimate con-
suner is complaining of the increasing
cost of living. He would like to fino
out if it is because of the wholesaler is
exacting too high profits. or whether
too much is going to retailers.
In his annual report Secretary Will
son told of the results of an inquiry
into the prices of meat Inquiries were
small, and it was found that for the
cities the mean gross profit in selling
beef was 3S per cent.
That is, the total retail cost charged
consumers above the wholesale cost
paid by retailers was, as stated, 3S
per cent. Publication of the figures
which, in the case of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, went to SO per cent has caused
a great stir. and many letters are be-
ing written to Secretary Wilson pro-
testing that his figures must be wrong.
To all such letters he is responding
with a request for definite evidence on
the question Of whether the figures are
wrong and to what extent.
On the other hand he is getting many
letters of approval. But Secretary Will
son does not intend to let the matter
rest with an inquiry into meat prices.
He intends to find out similar facts as
to common kinds of food products, such
potatoes and common fruits and veg
etables.
When Secretary Wilson gets thru he
will be able to tell pretty closely who
is making the bulk of the profits on
the things that go on the table of the
average family of the United States.
For one thing Secretary Wilson has
been impelled to this inquiry just as
into the one on meat prices by the re-
peated charge that the farmers are get
ting higher prices for their products
than they ought to get. Secretary Will
son does not believe this and has never
believed it. He does not believe the
high cost of living so far as food pro-
farmers door. He thinks that it lies
somewhere along the road between the
farmer and the ultimate consumer.
That is, he puts the burden at the. door
Of the middle men.

Stock Trains Tied Up,

Chicago, Dec. Solve stock traffic
is seriously crippled all over the coun-
try by reason of an abnormal and in
excusable railroad service. Transpor-
tation companies have been delinquent
before, but this is their big stunt
Thousands of cattle, hogs and sheep
market, where semi famine conditions
exist, but operating officials turn a deaf
ear to the pleas of shippers.
Even when cars have been delivered
railroad officials refuse to move the
stuff. The reason for this is obvious.
They realize that the traffic is theirs
anyway and that they can get it when
ever they care to.
SO serious has the tie-up become in
Iowa that shippers have appealed to the
state railroad commission for relief.
And the railroad answer is that a car
shortage existg
This is a palpable misstatement. AS
a matter of fact, there are cars scat
tered everywhere. The trouble seems
to be lack of motive power.
Also general inability by operating
officials to cope with a situation that
can not be called abnormal, as such
storms are seasonable and preparations
ought to be made to cope with them,
Damage claims have piled up lately,
owing to wretched service, and the
present attitude of railroad officials in
refusing to start live stock shipments
seems to be dictated by determine
ton to prevent accumulation of this
crop Of claims. They reason with
themselves that when spring comes
they can move the accumulation with
less trouble.
The fact sticks out glaringly that
western railroads are woefully made
quate to their task. They are pretty
fair summer roads, but hard blow
seems to paralyze their energies.
