Cheaper Living by Cooperation.


There is something very practical in the
movement started by 100 railroad en-
pIoyes at Indianapolis 10 reduce the price
of COAL potatoes and other necessities of
life. \ fund of 500 has been created as
the beginning, and fuel is to be purchased
by the carload, vegetables by the cart
load, eggs by the crate and beef by the
carcass. Already application has been
made to the mayor of Indianapolis for
q portion of the carloads of potatoes he
has purchased in order to break the
prices. Some of the greatest cooperative
concerns in the world started with no
larger beginnings. In London they have
grown into massive establishments, and.
despite the amount of business they do.
they have not interfered with those other
great mercantile houses known as the
department stores.
But generally cooperation for saving
the retailers profit to the purchaser has
not made Roadway in the United States.
This is due undoubtedly TO two reasons.
One is the excellence OIL the retail estab-
lishments IN this country, whose propri-
etors are the most progressive in the
world and are satisfied with a reasonable
profit, and the other is the fact that
workfngmen are usually too busily en-
ployed at fair pay TO give their attention
to matters of this kind.

Oriental Adaptations.

Other Japanese actors adapt Shakes
pearean plays 'to make them more eligi-
be for the common theatergoers.' The
writer describes .Timon of Athens thus
transformed into THE Sound of the
Bell:
THE first scene opens in the garden of
Viscount Hozumi. the Japanese Timon.
where fattering friends-like Lucius,
Lucullus and Sempronius in the original
the viscount: Ventidius appears here as
Baron Takemura. the father of Yukiye.
the wife of NiScount Hozumi. who will
be the chief factor in the running of the
vscount Before the scene closes Yukiye
is seen taken away by her father by force
from her husbands house. The second
scene is the central station, where Wis
count Hozumi is seen as a shoeblack. and
girl. and here Yukiye meets her former
husband after many years. When
she makes hereslf know to Flu
sage, her deserted daughter, the
her by the terribly impoverished
viscount who has already grown to hate
all humankind and love. The third scene
is the bell tower. where Viscount
Hozumi as Its keeper. and his daughter
live; it is showing fast when Yukiye
comes to see her daughter and, If posi-
bic, the viscount. to lay her sorrow and
repentance again before him. He curses.
reviles, ISLANDERS and decries her I'm the
widest language; he is pretty well rep
resented as one who, AS the original.
alive. ali living men did hate and babe
them pass by and even to curse if they
wished. but not to stay their gait. 1t is
dramatic when Yukiye, now mad, runs
up to the tower after every hope has
gone. rings the bell and. with the last
peal, Kills herself. The title of the play.
The Sound of the Bell is quite sug-
gestive. at least to the Japanese mind.
and IL carries full meaning AS an act
ing play, this Japanese adaptation may
be better than the original: when I see its
success, 1 think many other plays of
Shakespeare await the hands of our
adaptors."
