Such productions as Alma Where
10 You Live?" which Is to be seen
at the Cairo Opera House next Mon
day night, Jan. Sth, bids fair to-
mark new era in real musical COM
edy. Alma may be described as
neither burlesque nor farce nor yet
musical comedy. but a combination
Of all three of these, the effect ap-
parently being to make the music
subservient to the play; this being
direct contradiction Of the usual
form Of procedure. Alma which in
Its original form was French con-
tribution by Paul Hcrye, with mus
zeal number by Jean Briquet-re-
ceived it's first presentation in this
country in the German, being pro-
duced at Adolf Phillips theater in

threats having been even heard that
it was to be suppressed by the au-

that performance was witnessed
by Joseph M. Weber, who saw great
possibilities for it in English, and
he Immediately scared the rights
and had it Americanized by George
Y. Hobart, who eliminated all of the
suggestiveness and yet performed
his work so cleverly that when It
was presented at Weher's theater it
ran for an entire season to large

win no doubt, prove to be one Of
the nest enjoyable features of the
present season. The scenes Of the

CONFERENCE OPENS
AT EAGLES MERE

Eagles Mere, June 14-The Mid
die Atlantic Student conference of
the Young Mems Christian associ-
alton is today holding the first of
the study and discussions on relig-
ious problems that confront the
students of colleges. The classes
are all we'll attended and the 400
men are divided into different
groups.
The Forest Inn is filled with the
men and cottages near the hotel
are being pressed into service to
give them accommodations. Last
night a special train was run over
the Eagles Mere railroad and carri-
ed about $50 delegates to the resort.
Two new branches were added
this year to the social study of the
world problems course and were
presented under the titles of the
rural problem and the rehabilitation
of the home.
NOTED COLLEGE MAN IN ATHLETICS

from the University of Pennsyl-
vania. He is now located in China,
working to develop christian
medical school and hospital at Can

longh. In college DR.. McCraken
was holder of the worlds record

full back of the football team, presi-
dent of his class for four yerrs.
Since that time he has given his
time to the medical profession and

Organization for Farmers

A prominent attorney in Phila-
delphia wrote to State Zoologist
Surface asking if he was taking
part in the movement to have an
agricultural expert stationed in
each county in the country. The
reply is an argument for agricult-
ural organization, which is worthy
of consideration. 1t is as follows:
"While l am personally interest
ed in the movement to have train
ed farmer in each county, yet / am
not in position to take any official
steps in this direction. l have for
some time advocated something of
this kind. 1t altogether depends
upon the man. | think it will be
absolutely impossible to get enough
trained agriculturists within the
next five years to go into each
county and give each farmer the
kind of help that would be most
useful to him. 1t requires edu-
eaton as well as experience. A
college graduate can not do it. He
may obtain his course of four years,
but he must have four or five years
of rational experience added to that,
and then he will be only a beginner.
81 think in every county in this
State there are farmers who know
their own land and their own needs,
as well as the methods of getting
results better than any expert that
could come among them. If the
poor farmers were only willing to
learn from the good ones of their
own immediate neighborhood, it
would be best. Farmers organiza-
tions, socities or meetings to bring
about a closer acquaintanceship
with one another, and an exchange
of ideas, and cooperation in propa-
eating good animals, good seed, etc.
and the suppression of pests, weeds,
disease germs, and promoting rural
sociability and morality would do
more in this State than anything
else that could be done for the ag.
ricul ulturist by the State and Nation.
A good organizer would be more
important than personal teacher.
The farmer who is not awakened
to such opportunities as those
mentioned above will not be beni-
flied in the least by a personal
teacher coming to his door,"
