INVESTIGATION AND POLITICS

A prominent Grand Forks county
iarmer stated recently that there we're
thousands of dollars worth of feed
going to waste on his farm because.
lnder the present agitation and un-
certainty of tariff legislation, he was
afraid to invest in sheep for fear his
investment might be cut in two by a
new tariff law. The case is merely IL.
Illustrative Of the injury to business by
TOO much politics. 1t also shows how
closely home some of these things
m The gentleman referred to is
a Republican in politics but not one
sometimes classed as stalwart. His
Judgment is, therefore. unbiased SO far
as politics are concerned.
Like many other progressive farm
ers, this gentleman realizes that d..
v~ersifcation is the only real salvation
Of the farm. He has been following
diversified methods for years and his
large crops attest the difference. He
also realizes that a flock of sheen on
the farm would serve the thrible pur-
pose Of increasing the income, eating a
large quantity of feed that otherwise
would go to waste and cleaning the
farm of certain kinds of noxious weeds
and bushes. On a farm near this city
a few years ago. an effort was made

to rid a portion Of the land Of a scrub
bush that interferred materially with
the cultivation Of the land. After sew
eral expensive efforts had failed, a
flock of sheep was turned upon the
land. A few weeks afterward 1t was
discovered that the sheep had killed
the bush by eating the branches and
they thus accomplished at a profit
what had failed by other means at a
ing such noNious growth. a flock Of
sheep will live and thrive on the food
that must necessarily be lost except
for them. The products of the flock
arc nearly all income to the farm.
In 1892. just before the Democrats
secured control Of congress the aver
age price of sheep per head was sass.
Two years later under the Wilson,
German tariff by which wool was plac-
ed on the free list. and the average
price per head had dropped to $1.5S.
The second year of the Dingley tariff,
which reimposed the old rate of 1892.
the price went up to sa.75 per head.
Those changes in prices were certain
~ due to the tariff.
The average value Of sheep per
head for the year 1910. the latest sta
tistics at hand. was S4.05. Under the
Democratic tariff of 1898. the value
deprecated approximately forty per
cent. ii a farmer should invest in
sheep at $500 per head and a Demo-
cratic tariff accomplish what it did
twenty years ago. he would lose $3.50
per head. If he purchased a flock of
500 his depreciative loss would reach
$500. The average farmer could ill
afford to embark upon a new line of
industry i'll which the possibility Of
such a loss exists.
Meantime. the farmers are being ed.
ucated. and rightly so. too. that they
must diversity. More stock and less
wheat is the slogan of the scientific
farmer. But with this Damoclean
sword hanging over them they dare
not invest in sheep until 1t has been
determined what the tariff will be.
Thus is the prosperity of the farm and
the progress of diversiication made
contingent on the turn of the wheel Of
political fortune.

Ever since Grace Van studdiford
appeared through the west several
seasons ago in Red Feather" thea
tergoers who were so fortunate as to
hear her glorious voice have always
referred to her as the most melodious
and dashing soprano on the American
stage. From that time until now she
has held that exalted position un-
challenged. 1t is said that she more
than sustains her reputation as the
leading American prima donna by
her singing in her present vehicle.

The Love Tales of Hoffman,.

ANcNC AdlcS OI f1Ou mann.
1t is good news to all music lovers
that the Sheehan Opera company is
to appear at the Metropolitan tomor-
row evening. The company has won
great renown. and i scomposed of the
best of American n European tall
ent. They will present The Love
Tales Of Hoffman," which Is consider
ed to be O~fenbach's masterpiece.
Jacques cffenbach was the originator
OF opera bouffe,' a style of comic
opera which was once immensely
popular. He was BORN at Cologn in
1919 an ddied in 1880. When he was
% years Of Age he went to Paris and
permanently settled there. He play
ed the cello at h opera comique for
some time, but 10 took to compos-
ing opera bouffe." He managed to
hit h taste o fthe public, and his
name soon became a household word
all over the civilized world. Among
his famous works are: La Belle Hell
Blue Beard" All these abound in
sparkling music and fascinating mel
ody, but they have been partly for
gotten during the last few years.
The White Sister.
All women enjoy a good love story
in which the fate Of the lovers hang
In h balance and is spiced with a
little danger-that is one Of the great.
est reasons for the remarkable sue
cess Of The White Sister," which
is billed for Thursday evening at the
Metropolitan with the magnetic
American beauty Jeanne fowler, in
the stellar role and a superior cast Of
supporting players. 1.-The White Sis
ter was dramatized from Marion
Crawford's latest novel of the same
name and the action of the play oc-
ours in Sunny Italy, the home Of ro-
nance love. poetry and music. 1t is
an Intensely human story in a relig-
ious setting and that is why 1t is SO
strongly endorsed by the church, al
though in its development it is amuse-
ment and entertainment of the pur-
est quality. 1t is handled in an up
lifting amer and carries a convinc-
ing lesson. The role Of the nun (The
White Sister) makes exacting de-
mands upon the emotional powers
Of the actress and it is her powerful
Interpretation of the role and her
tina has earned for Jeanne fowler
the reputation Of being Americas
most beautiful emotional actress.
Nearly every character in the play is
a star part and requires a company
Of unusual quality to do 1t justice.
The stage pictures are realistic and
handsome. while the interpOlated mu-
sic which permeates the play is sweet
and soothing. THE White Sister,
will probably crowd the theatre and
undoubtedly be of the most gen.
uine treats Of the season.
