CASH FUND SUBSCRIBED
Business Men Come to Rescue of the
Local Creamery by Adding
7~ Capital. -.~~
Is IN NATURE OF A LOAN

A Iun0 OF ,OOU was subscribed
this morning among twenty business
men of Bemidji to provide additional
cash capital for the Bemidji cream
cry. This money was secured by
stock, each of the twenty men TAX
ing one share. If the creamery is
able to stand on it's feet financially
after a few months, the stock is to
be rebought by the farmers. j.
At the Commercial club this after
noon, several of the business men
met with the farmers and the matter
was thoroughly discussed. A. G..
Wedge and A. A. Warf1eld appeared
for the business men. The tone of
the meeting seemed to be that a
creamery could be made a paying
project provided that it was operated
in a business like manner. s.

cent issue of the Northwestern Farm

ments.
During visit Of Irish players to
Glasgow about four years ago be-
came greatly interested in their work
and in their praiseworthy efforts on b.
half Of their native drama. It there
and then struck me that might. per-
hAps, be able to do something for tho
Scottish writer's along similar Lines.
and possibly succeed in establishing
Scottish National Theatre. .s,s-.s-'5 s.
I had by this time written quite 4
number Of sketches In my native
dialect. and appeared III them with my
sister Kate during our platform entes-
tainments. The fact that thsss were
always 10 favorably reviewed without
scenery or costumes led me to bslievs
tha< still greater success might be
achieved with the assistance OF proper
scenery and stage effects. Therefore
I picked out Z small company. the
members OF which were TIL then almost
amateurs. and produced two abort
plsys-''1ill the Bells Ring and "Anni"
Laurie''-at the Glasgow Athenasum.
With me were my wife, my sister and
other Scottish players who are nearly
all now in one or other Of my COM
pantes in London. New York or on tour.
I called my company at that time the
Scottish National Players. The good
notices which our work received in the
Press encouraged me to 60 on, and l
set about getting two fourther pieces,
The Concealed Fed" and "A Scrape Of
the Pen which Undue course were pro-
duced ut the Glasgow Athenaeum.
Then ca,nc the Inauguration in Glas-
gov Of the Scottish Repertory Theatre,
one Of the main objects Of which, II
was stated, was the giving Of as
distance to Scottish authors and the
production Of plsys dealing with Scot
tish life. So II occurred to me that I
might be able to join forces Herewith.
I approached the management with
the suggestion that tho idea Of having
English actors TO play Scottish rolss
was one that would most probably re-
suit In an injustice to both the actors
end the roles. But. somehow nothing
came of my overtures, and decided,
therefore, TO fall back upon my own
resources, and try the variety stage
with 1.-THE Concealed Bed" The piece
was cut down to suit music hall re-
ouirelnents, and ives played AZ farce
st one Of the Glasgow houses. However.
even tho rs a draw 1t set up record
