MANTELL IN HAMLET"
Shakespenrean Actor Again Wins
Merited Applause at Belasco.

Shakespearean Actor Again Wins
Merited Applause at Belasco.
OF all the dramas of the master, Ham
let is probably the most alluring IN IN
terest. principally from the fact that 1t
is study of mans most potential attri-
bute-the mind. While the play itself Is
full of action, as, indeed, are all OF the
creations of Shakespeare, 1t is really the
workings of the princes mentality, as
brought out by his retrospective pas
sages. that constitutes the greatest
charm of the masterpiece. The enact
ment of this role has been the mark by
which the capabilities of tragedians have
been measured for 800 years.
1t is essential that Mr.. Mantell, as a dis
ciple of the Shakespearean drama, should
make this characterization one Of great
importance in his career, and he has full
filled the obligation fully, for not only Is
Hamlet one OF his best interpreta.
tons, but he has also come to be consid-
cred one of the great Hamlets of hii
period.
His Interpretation is to a considerable
extent, If not wholly, traditional, yet
while he maintains the idealism fully. he
creates the idea that he is presenting a
veritable flesh-and-blood Hamlet. Ir
other words, while every point in the in
teilectual makeup is covered, still the
character is not made altogether spec
trail. The enactment is impressive, and
worthy to rank with the greatest per-
formances of the role
The support accorded Mr.. Mantell is
varied in character. Miss Marie Booth
Russell, as Ophelia, does the best work
of her career, while Mr.. Henry Fearing
as the King: Mr.. Guy Lindsey, as Ho-
ratio. and Mr.. George Stillwell as the
ghost, do notable work. This evening
'Richelieu'' will be presented.

PRES. J. H. WORST

In response to the mayors address, J.
H. Worst, president of the state agricul-
tural college at Fargo, also president of
the National Dry Farming Congress,
said in part:
1--WE have not been giving agriculture
the attention that it should have.
Agriculture has been the mainstay of
the world in all ages, but we find in a
state like Minnesota that but four-tenths
of one per cent of her children are get,
ting an agricultural education. 1t re-
quires careful training the same as
any profession. There are no legal
requirements which compel farmer to
know his business, therefore man can
ruin 100 acres Of land. injuring not only
himself but his neighbor and nothing
comes Of it: Our population doubles
every rs years and just think what it
will be necessary for US to produce from
our acres within. generation or two?

MAYOR JOHNSON

In delivering his address of welcome
Mayor johnson said:
This is meeting of great import
ance to our citizens and farmers. The
people have gathered here to impart and
receive knowledge. They want to
know better how to conserve the mois-
ture so as to be able to obtain better
results from the land. This is what
the farmers and all classes of profes-
sional men want. Too often there is
failure or partial failure because of lack
of knowledge of how to apply methods
and till the fertile acres of this country.
Ours is a great state, and therefore we
cannot be too jealous in our efforts to
properly handle the soil. Population is
rapidly increasing, and there is very
little land left for the people of the
crowded east therefore we must grow
more bushels of grain per acre, which
can only be accomplished by the appli-
cation of better farming methods. =
In closing Mayor Johnson said it gave
him great pleasure to turn over the keys
of the city to the Dry Farming Congress
visitors within our city.

he had heard things about this section

the best clay for brick (the speaker knew
of and potter's clay, which, in the
manufactured state. equals the daintiest
Haviland). But the greatest asset of the
state is its soil, its deep rich alluvial
formation, which will grow anything
suited to this latitude.
The farmer is today the greatest man
in all the world. the captain of industry
and the only person who can really make
a dollar. From the farm arteries radi.
ate to workshop and factory and if these
arteries are plethoric. the fires die out
and the wheels are still. When the
farm arteries are weak, the railroad
engines stop and the cars are empty,
and pail is cast over the nation.
Interrupted by a vivacious biddy and
her consort at the rear of the room, the
speaker turned from his theme for a
moment to pay tribute to the American
hen. the housewives friend, whose
'sun never sets. ...
DR.. Taylor said he was farmers
son, born in log cabin in Wisconsin,
and from lad he had made study of
farming.
Dry farming. so-called, is misnomer,
since there must be water to produce q
crop. The term simply means so pre-.
pairing the soil and conserving the rain
and snow water as to provide susten.
ance for the growing plants and assure
a crop when there is lack of rain during
the growing season. In the semi-arid
sections this must be done. The farmer
must not only have good seed but must
have fertile soil, properly prepared
seed bed and must carefully cultivate
his crop. Failure in one of these fout
things endaneers his crop. A chain il
no stronger than its weakest link.
The seed bed, the home of the plant
life, must have oxygen and to secure
this porosity and provide reservoir fol

ploughed thoroughly and deep. Hard
pan must be broken and discine musl
