At the Majestic

Victor HugOS immortal romance, Les
Miserable is made real in the nine reel
photo drama enacted at the Majestic
theatre this week. 1t ranks on a par
in heart interest and intense excitement
with the. films of "Quo Vadis,' portrayed
here some weeks ago.
The world is familiar with the story of
Jean Vatican Javert Famine, Cosette,
Marus and others of the book, but to
see them portrayed by the great actors
of the Partisan stage is something that
few of the readers of the book ever
expected to enjoy. Seeing the pictures
brings into life every one of the charac-
ters and makes the book itself seem doub-
ly wonderful.
For more than two hours the audiences
at the Majestic sat spelbound yesterday.
There was no applause. The feeling left
by the pictures is not the kind that
creates applause The audience is STILL
with occasionally a whispered word and
maybe stiied sigh. 1t was not an
unusual occurrance yesterday to see a
tear in the eyes of some of the women
patrons of the house as Cosette's mother
dies of tuberculosis, or as Jean Vatican
escapes with the almost fainting and
weary child, Cosette after being trapped
by the police.
Mechanically the pictures are fine.
There isn't a fickere. flaw in their per-
feet rendition The scenes are clear, the
detail is perfect and the facial express
sions are things to be remembered by
ALL One of the noticeable features of
the film is the fact that 1t is largely
pantomime, the French actors putting
their efforts into the action and facial
expression when before the film, AMI not
depending on the spoken word to assist
them
In the caste are such celebrities of the
French stage as Henry Krauss of the
Theatre Sarah Bernhardt Jean VAL

as Famine; La Petite Fromet OF the
Vaudeville is the little Cosette, and NJ ons.

At the Orpheum

The largest crowd that ever packed the
Orpheum theatre thronged that house last
night to see the vaudeville bill offered
this week. 1t is probably the best all
round bill of variety entertainment that
has been seen here in several years, with
out weak act and with several that
proved to be immense favorites. The
crowds were so large that the entire
house was sold out before o'clock for
the first show and people were standing
so thick in Third avenue and Seventeenth
Street that a policeman was needed to
keep traffic open.
The bill is lead by John F. Conroy
and his diving girls and it is one of the
best diving acts ever seen here. 1t COM

The calamity bowler says: What
about the lack of lime in the soil?" DR..
TAFT Butler, probably the best-posted
man on southern agriculture, says, in
summing up a most excellent editorial
on Lime in Southern Feeds" I'VE
have shown: (1) That our soils are
not deficient in lime as regards the
plant food requirements Of our crops;
ca that plants grown in the south
have as much ash as the same plants
grown elsewhere, and that the feed
crops of the south, especially the
legumes peculiar to the south, contain
as high a per cent. of ash as the
feed crops of other sections; 60 that
typical southern rations are those
made up of typical southern feeds and
contain more ash than typical north
ern feeds. The conclusion is, there
fore, that while ur animals fail to
get the mineral matter they need, 10
is not because this material is de-
fcient in our feeds, but because our
animals do not get sufficient of our
feeds"
In the cotton belt, live stock farm

Now, millions of acres are too poor
to grow cotton profitably, and we can
easily eradicate the cattle tick. Since
the work of e~radicating the tick was
inaugurated, nearly 200, 900 square
miles have been cleaned for all time;

fore, there is every inducement to do
good farming, and to do good farming
we must decrease the number of the

Der devoted to pastures, forage crops

we cannot quote it too often: mo

FARM METHODS ARE LACKING

Industrial Corporations Of

(By G. H. ALFORD.)

CBy G. H. ALFORD.)
We have between the average and
the best in farming in the cotton belt
an attainable 1000 per cent. This diff
ference of 1000 per cent. against the
average farmer is due wholly to con;
ditions which he can easily control
with the necessary knowledge. Every
CORPORATION and business man interest
ed in the welfare of the country should
Join forces with the United States de-
partment of agriculture, agricultural
colleges, experiment stations, state de-
partments of agriculture and other
forces and conduct great educational
campaigns until the foolish and Grim
inal waste that is going on every year
by reason of u~nscientifc methods of
farming is a thing Of the past.
Our farmers can grow easily twice
the average yield Of u staple crops.
This increase would pour many mil
lions Of dollars annually into u
industrial channels. Such an addi-
ton could not be made without touch
ing every corporation, every banker,
every storekeeper, every doctor, every
lawyer, every editor and, in fact, every
person in the country.
Many of the great industrial corpo-
rations of the country have already
joined forces with national and state
institutions and are helping the farm
ers to larger production and to larger
life, and are thereby contributing to
the prosperity and uplift of the whole
people. Some people may attribute
this to pure selfishness, but from out
of that selfishness will evolve a better
condition among the farmers, greater
comforts in living, and more luxuries
of life and better opportunities for the
farmers to educate their sons and
daughters-thus the presumed selfish
ness contains within it a resulting
philanthropy.
During the last ten years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase of population. There

farmers to grow two good animals in

Live stock should certainly be given
a prominent place in the agricultural
development of the cotton belt. Next
to having good and intelligent people

probably of the most Importance. This
