other actor since Jefferson, Russell and
Raymond LEFT him alone as the typical
native American comedian. Like the
great French actor, Coquelin, he Is
master of the fonts OF tears as we'll as
smiles, for in the midst Of an evening
with Tim Murphy he is sure to exhibit
mastery over the various emotions of
an audience which is the unalienable
mark Of an artist.
This year he is accompanied by the

There is no actor who needs less
puffery that Tim Murphy, which is, OF
course, the cynic's cue to ask if that is
why he gets so much. He insures his
welcome on each return by the delight
he gave on each preceding visit His
public do not take him at second hand
on a remote or foreign reputation, but
at their own valuation after intimate
acquaintance. BY giving wholesome
American plays Of high artistic char
acter and interpreting then; in his sin
cere, quaint, and whimsical manner, he
has made himself nearer and dearer to
The great heart Of the people than any

TO BRIGHTEN FARM HOMES.
Work Of Miss LENA Bailey, a Univer.
sity of Missouri Student.

Miss Ilena NJ Bailey, student In
the home economics department of the
University of Missouri at Columbia,
No., has invaded new field. She is
a lecturer to farmers and particularly
to farmers wives.
Under the direction of the state
board of agriculture she goes over the
state to farmers institutes. Her OBJ
ject is to get the women and girls of
Missouri interested in better home
work and the lessening of the drudg-
cry found in so many country homes,
The board sends her out to talk q
new side Of farm life at the iestitutcs
In the winter months.
II believe the girls should baye the
same chance as the boys" Miss Bailey
says. ".The farm boys are given the
opportunity to take part In corn grow
ing and stock Judging contests, and the
girls likewise should have something
to stimulate their interest in the great
work Of the home. At Sarcoxie we
have started the first of our contests
for girls; it is buttonhole contest"
In her talks Miss Bailey discusses
foods. clothing. homes and home fur
nishings. She attempts to organize
homemakers' clubs at all these insti
tute meetings.
Miss Bailey has several dates fol

Among the other "hobbyists' who
spoke during the evening were Willis

Speaker Cannon declared that his

declared, are all good men, and he
wished them success and long life, al
though he said that 1T makes one
uncomfortable often in watching 9TH

afraid to eat anything for fear Of be-
ing poisoned; that conservation was a
good thing, but that he was not afraid

MAIL BAGS FOR CLOTHING.

United States mail bags are used In
some foreign countries as material

1t is shown by the records of the

mail is sent disappear each year, but
1t is impossible to keep definite trace
Of them. Diplomatic representatives
Of the government have reported from
time to time that the material used in
United States mail bags frequently is
found In possession OF natives OF coun-

loss sustained by the United States
through the disappearance Of mail
bags, however, Is comparatively small,

NATIONAL HOME
FOR The THEATER
Scheme to Better the Drama
and Help Actors.
VAST STRUCTURE TO Be BUILT
Actors Fund of America to Put Up
Building In New York For Housing
Varied Co operative Charitable and
Business Stage Enterprises.


Daniel Frohman, president of the
Actors Fund of America, announced
the other day project involving phi
lanthropy. business and an investment
of at least 100000 which may go far
toward revolutionizing the dramatic
profession In the United States. Man
ayers, players and to a considerable
extent the public will all be affected
to great degree by the consummation
Of the plan.
The plan involves the erection of a
half million dollar structure near Gen.
tral Park South, in New York city,
which will not only house what may
be described as the United Charities"
Of the three allied professions-the
drama, music and the fine arts-but
also noncommercial theater for the
testing of new plays, general book
ing agency, meeting rooms for actors
and managers and the business offices
of an old age pension fund. OF the
various branches Of the great work
planned this last part Of the general
plan and the national booking agency
will touch most directly upon the ac-
tors, for at present they have to give
anywhere from 10 per cent to 80 per
cent Of their salaries to the private
agencies.
To Cost Half . Million.
In discussing the vast project Mr..
Frohman said that. while two years
ago the plan was hailed as wildly
visionary by leading members Of the
profession, they have now all come to
see its practicability, even necessity.
1--WE hope to begin operations by
next fall" he continued. I'VE expect
to clear at least 100000 at the coming
Actors fund fair to be held in the
Seventy first Regiment armory, New
York, during the week of May 8. A
good share of this must go to the
fund itself, which is sadly In need Of
repletion, but the rest should be used
for this vast philanthropic scheme
from which investment an income can
be procured.
1T will take very large structure
to house SO many interests, and 1t will
not cost less than $5OO,000. We do
not believe that there will be any difi-
Guilty in raising this sum through the
fair, benefits and donations, as sew

Try. OF course, in New York they do
not take much interest in the pros
perity of Utah, and would not take
any grave interest in knowing that
the Payne tariff bill amply protected
the industries Of Utah. The people OF
New York are consumers of wool, not
producers. and they would not care to
know that by the work OF the Utah
delegation in Congress the wool in
dustry was handled in such a way as
TO conserve the interests Of the Utah

II Secretary Wilson had known Of
the famous telegram which Uncle
Jesse Knight and his son. J. VIII
Knight. had sent TO the finance COM
mittee Of the United States Senate in
1909, when that body was considering
the lead schedule of the Payne tariff
bill, he could have made some inter-
esting remarks concerning it. Here is
~ ~ e--.AAA JUST d 0llClc jesse sent
it to the chairman of the Senate
finance committee:
Any further reduction OF the tariff
on lead would close many mines
and smelters ana cause general
panic IN the west.
Secretary Wilson is an expert farm
er and is chiefly interested in promot-
ing the interests of the farmer. He
does not know as much about the min
ing business as Uncle Jesse, but he
would probably acquiesce in Uncle
Jesse's views that amy further re-
duetiOn Of the tariff on lead would
close many mines and smelters and
cause general panic in the west"
Mr.. Wilson knows what he is talk
ing about when he discusses the well
fare OF the farmer and those who
make their living from the products Of
the farm, and Uncle Jesse knows what
he is talking about when he discusses
the mining business and pleads for the
welfare of the mine owner. the miner
and all who make their livelihood !
from the mining business.
