ever to do with the foreign play. But
to do so is to keep from American
minds some of the most ingenious and
entertaining of stories. The varia-
tons are most difficult to make, and
to keep from American audiences
those pretty creations of the French
mind is to limit things beyond endur-
ance
THE problem is to render these
stories acceptable to our standard. A
splendid example of the accomplish
ment of this will be Joseph M. Web
er's production of Alma, Where Do
You Live?" which will be seen at the
Kempner October 80 and 81.
"'Alma' was originally French
farce Vulgar presentations of these
vivacious comedies in this country
have rendered the term French
farce one to be dreaded. The work
has been clumsy and i'll done. And.
no matter what they say, the answer.
even in supposedly calloused New
York, has been unfavorable; and the
life of the play has not been unusual.
In rendering the story for the ears
of Americans the workmanship has
been lacking in sympathetic treat
ment.
''But in the case of Alma the bril-
liant wit and entertaining originality
of Paul Herve, the French librettist,
has been preserved. To do this Mr..
Weber engaged George G. Hobart, an
American humorist of the cleanest
mentality. Hobart has entertained
the American people through that
eyacting medium, the American news
paper. He knows the standards and
knows how to apply them.
Alma has been done in German
1t was modified to meet the require
ments of the Berlin mind. To render
the German version for an American
audience would have been to get fa1
away from Herve's original. Hobart
an expert French scholar, went back
to Herve. He was most successful In
his method, for Alma has the en-
viable record of having run COM
plete season at Weber's Theater In
New York City. This is no advertis.
ed complete season. The run &C
tually occupied the time from the fiji
teenth of August to the first OF May

Action Necessary Is Compete With
Canadian and Northwest
Combines.

Kansas City, Mo. Preliminary
plans for the formation Of a $4,000
corporation to merge ten Of the largest
Touring mills in Kansas were laid here
by six men. representing seven of
the mills. They decided that II the
milling men Of Kansas want to make
money. they must merge. Property in.
vestments of $3,500.000 were repre-.
sented at the meeting. Final plans
for the merger will be completed be.
fore January, 1912. Ei5s
George H. Hunter Of Wellington,
who is the prime mover in the merger!
says the combined Canadian mills and
other merged mills in the Northwest
are making the Kansas miller hurry
for the flour business in the territory
east of Kansas City.
The larger plants, according to Mr..
Hunter, have great advantage be-
cause under one management, they
can make and sell the same grade Of
flour to the trade, while the unorgan-
lied Kansas millers are selling grades
that are not uniform. The result is
that the baker is disappointed in
Kansas flour.
According to Mr.. Hunter, the merger
will reduce the cost of flour to the con-
sumner through saving in cost of
production. Strict compliance to the
antitrust law, as laid down by the de-
cision of the supreme court, will mark
the merger.

was the basis for complaints which
were under argument before the inter

In the Albert Lea case, it is alleged
that the roads are also violating the
long and short haul clause of the inter-
state commerce law. The complaint
asserts that the first-class rate from
eastern points to Albert Lea exceeds
the Minneapolis rate by Is cents a

classes are proportionately excessive,
Notwithstanding the fact that the haul
is 101 miles shorter to Albert Lea
than to Minneapolis. The Business

interstate railroads operating out of
Sioux City have refused to meet this
