Uncle Sans Farm.
Outlook.

Year after year Mr.. Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, has
been recording another most
prosperous year. The fiscal
year 1910 has proved no excep-
tion. A twelve-month ago we
spoke of a total crop valued at
eight billion dollars and over;
this year we speak of a crop OF
almost nine billions. Moreover,
the value Of farm products from
1899 to the present year has been
progressive without interruption.
Of our cereal crops, corn is chief,
both in value and quantity; aside
from the normal increase, the
years distinctive feature is the
emphasis on the South's growing
Importance in producing corn; q
decade ago the South produced
hardly more than a fifth Of the
National corn crop; now it pro
duces a third. The South's
agricultural fortune has beer
advanced during the year be-
cause, in lint and seed, the cottor
crop is no less than thirteen pei
cent above the average for th'
past five years. After cotton
the next crop in value is hay
Then come, in order, wheat, oat
and potatoes.

Picture Films Fight Tuberculosis
The Red Cross SeaP' Por-
trays Interesting Drama,

trays Interesting Drama.
:. Moving picture theaters have
been enlisted in the army of cru
saders fighting tuberculosis by
selling Red Cross Christmas
Seals, and on December 18th in
all parts of the United States a
film entitled 'The Red Cross
SeaP' will be exhibited for the
first time, according to an an
nouncement of the National AS
sociation for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
The picture drama has been
produced by the Edison Manu-
featuring Company in co-opera-
tion with the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Preven-
ton OF tuberculosis and the
American National Red Cross.
1t portrays an interesting story
Of New York life, and is besides
filed with educational scenes that
show how tuberculosis is contract
ed and how it may be prevented
and cured. The film is 1000
feet long. The tuberculosis
workers in every State of the
United States are urging their
local theaters to exhibit the pic
| ture.
The plot of the story centers
about the winning Of the prize
of Sl0O for the best design for
Red Cross Seal for 1910, by Ellen
Williams, a poor girl of the tene-
ments who makes her living by
decorating lampshades for very
meagre wages. She has applied
to the art school where she longs
to take a course of study, but
finds that the cost. $10O, is toe
much for her purse. AS she
turns to leave the school, a young
man of wealth sees her in the
office and is struck by the pathos
of her beauty and disappoint'
ment. Tired Of his purposele s
life, Jordan resolves to see fol
himself "how the other hall
| lives" Dressed as an ordinary
day laburer, therefore, he rents
a room in the same tenement
with Ellen, and soon becomes
greatly attached to her. He sees
her struggle to win the $10O prize
for the Red Cross Seal design
and finally sees her win it. Their
he sees her give up all the ambi
tions of her life, when she turns
over the $500 to a neighbor, 81
that her consumptive boy nigh
have a chance to be cured at ;
sanatorium.
Struck by the noble sacrifice
Jordan, unknown to Ellen, buy
; the tenement, renovates tn
neighboring apartment, enlist
the cooperation Of a distric
nurse, and helps thus to restor
the consumptive to health ant
remove from his family tn
l danger of further infection.
Thus, in the end, when Jordan
reveals to Ellen his identity, sh
finds in his proposal that sh
share with him his palatial Fift
Avenue mansion, she has game,
a great love, a home, and tn
satisfaction of her ambition, a

H0BEN'S MUSICALE
IS A SUCCESS

A most delightful musicale was en-
joyed by fully a hundred and more
of Honolulu's critical music-lovers at
the residence OF Judge and Mrs. Bal
lou last evening.
The entertainment consisted of two
parts. both under the immediate di-
rection OF Mr.. Sydney Hoben, who
carried through the first part In its
entirety with his own selections.
The evenings concert was opened
with Findens Less Than the Dust, Z"
by Mr.. osborne. and 1t was well re-
ceived.
Mr.. Hoben then entertained with
two groups. the first containing Sc
lections from Schumann, Paderewski
and Chopin. The second was repre-
scented by the "Cracovlenne Fantas-
tique," which, with Chopin's Etude
No, 4, OPP. 25, was new to local audi
ences.
The second group was even more
pleasing and embodied the best works
of the Fortune Telling Scene and the
Boys Chorus from Carmen, Chopln's
Nocturne In Il minor and Saint
Saers "Mandolinata," The last of
these was certainly the non-parallel
OF the evenings entertainment. An
encore consisted of the Allegretto in
G OF Charminade.
In the second part. "Tanhhauser"
(Wagner) was interpreted in the
many parts by Miss Phroni Dyke,
Mr.. osborne. Mr.. Hoben, Mrs. Allen
White and Mr.. Vaughan.
