DAY STUDENTS PLAY
at Earlham Last Night Was
a Great Success.
~ ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
An audience which crowded Lindley
Hall applauded the day students play
last evening at Earlham college, this
being an annual affair
Les Romantiques,' a poetic drama
by Rostand, the famous author of
"Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Chante-
cler,' is, on account of its form, diff
cult of presentation and the cast,
which included Miss Sarah Arlington,
Mr.. Brandon Griffis, Mr.. Bernard
Knollenberg, Mr.. John Janney, Mr..
Floyd Murray and Mr.. Earnest Rupel,
acquitted themselves admirably.
The plot concerns itself with two
romantic lovers, impersonated by
Miss Addington and Mr.. Janney, their
fathers, taken by Mr.. Griffis and Mr..
Knollenberg, and the latter's efforts
to unite the two families by seeming
opposition to the union of the young
people by pretense of violent enmity
when, in fact, they are old cronies.
How they employ one "Straforel,"
taken with much theatric eclat by
Mr.. Murray, to work up pretended
abduction and consequent rescue by
the lover, how the two old cronies
grow tired to death of each others So
ciety when the estates are thrown to-
gether, how the lovers discover the
duplicity Of their fathers and how it
all comes out right in the end, is told
in the story of the play.
The farcical nature of the drama was
convincingly interpreted by the mem
bers of the cast who, with fine appre-
citation of the stilted nature of the
lines necessarily attendant upon their
versification, still preserved the the
atric verities and showed their talents
by not permitting really excellent
farce to degenerate into burlesque,
which could easily have been done
by either amateurs or professionals.
1t was, indeed, an interesting and
enjoyable performance and one upon
which the day students should be fell
citated since it's presentation called
for theatric abilities and talents of
superior order
The incidental music, and also that
for the entr'acte, accentuated the ef-
fects and the settings were decorative.

SPINFIESS

AGRICULTURAL EXPERT MAKES
REPORT TO THE DEPARTMENT
PRlckLY PEAR SPECIE WILL

ING TO STATISTICS WHICH ARE
FURNISHED.

WASHINGTON, March 80 - Not
many years ago, member of the
California delegation declared war
against bid to deed to Luther Bur-
bank, the California plant wizard,
two sections of semi-arid land in
Arizona, at a cost of $l.25 an acre
for the propagation of spineaess
cactus.
The California member takes a
very decided stand against the spine
less cactus bill. He declares he
can see mo reason why the govern
ment should deed to the horttculuur-
ist this tract, for what congress
terms "a spineless cactus monopoly.
The Californian also pointed out
in declaring war on the bill that, as
far as he had BEEN able to ascer-
tain from stock and sheepmen of
the west, the spineless cactus
wasn't assuming any great import
ance as fodder, anyhow.
But just about the time that the
question of deciding the land to
Burbank, who claims to have dis
covered the Spineless form of des-

mite shape in congress, the depart
port On the same subject from David
Griffiths, one of the government ex-
perts in plant work.
Mr.. Grifffths is Of the opinion
that the spineless prickly pear, one
form of cacti, is destined to become
more or less of a factor in sifage
and fodder supplies of the country,
but argues that in the present stage
of experiments it is far more useful
in it's green succu.ent state, than
it is when dried.
The prickly pear, according to
/ Griffbths, is natural fodder. Ii
contains 81 per cent of water, how
ever, and the remaining elements
are ash, crude protein, crude fat,
free extract of nitrogen and crude
fibre. Viewed from any angle,
says the experts report, 1T would
appear that the spineless prickly
pear can be most advantageously
fed in its green state. In this con
dition the feed is to be compared
most closely with root crops, ant
immature, green corn fodder and i
should be fed In much the same man
ner Being bulky and containing 81
much water, the feed can never b.
transported far, but will be growl
close by, so that the cattle may b.
turned on it to Craze, or so that tn
haul to the feeding grounds will b
short"
From the report, although no def
mite conclusions are drawn, it j
apparent that the government re
