"Not only do believe they receive ample
encouragement, but even think it a pity to
talk even of giving them first hand help.
The best way to encourage the American
playwright is not to protect him from the
foreigner by subsidy or by prizes, but to let
him benefit as finer craftsman because OF
the invasion of the foreigner. The greatest
benefit that can befall an American play
wright is for him to see his bad play fail IN
theater next door to a success fresh from the
Paris stage or from the English stage-pro-

For the first time in the history of
the United States marching women
will form a large section of the inau-

Wilson will be accompanied by an am

The Suffrage Association Of the Dis

the inaugural committee to give them
q place in the parade, and the women
have received private assurances that
their request will be granted. Ten
thousand women, they estimate, will
answer the appeal.

will have the advantage of complete

Gated this disheartening report there
was a notice on the editorial page Of
the Harvester that the paper would
soon appear in a new dress. What its
editor meant was undress or no dress
at all, for she expected to suspend.
For the first time in his life Newrath
senior consulted with his son as to the
report and the announcement. John
declined to give an opinion as to what
it meant.
After this his father asked him how
he would like to take the Plow-
man. unite it with the Harvester, call
ing the paper the Union, and give his
notes on long time in payment. John
said that If the Fairalls had really
got in capital it would be too late. But
his father told him to find out.
The two papers were thus united I'M
der the name of the Woodland Union.
The first issue announced another pro-
spective union at which Newrath sem
ior was much surprised-viz. one be.
tween John Newrath and Cora Fair
all.
Both unions prospered.

both too broken down by their misfor-
tunes to oppose her, and the result was
the establishment of the Harvester at
Woodland, a town Of about 5000 in
habitants.
There was another paper in Wood
land, the Plowman. owned by James
Newrath. a merchant. He sold goods
during the day and got up his news
paper during the night. When he slept
no one knew. He had a son about
twenty-seven years old who would
have liked to manage the paper. run
ming it on less antiquated lines and
making it something for a journalist to
be proud of. But all old Newrath
wonld do for his son John was to
keep him setting type at minimum
wages and give him a small percentage
on what ads. he could pick up.
AS soon as the Fairalls started. the
Harvester Newrath saw that unless he
did something to run them out the
patronage would all go to the new pa
per.
1t was evident that the manager
was a live wire and was disposed to
make innovations. The only method Of
saving himself that appeared to New
rath was to put the price Of advertise
ments so low that they would all go
into the Plowman. He had 5000 that
he proposed to sink in this way.
When Cora Fa1rall learned that her
competitor was taking ads. at prices
which to compete with would soon use
up the few hundred dollars that re-
NAMED to her after buying the neces-
sary outfit for a start she felt consid-
cradle dependency. Though piucky,
she knew that q newspaper cannot

nau some ten times lei caplual IT was

journal.
Her competitor labored under one
weakness. His son, who was a much
better fellow than his father. had not
been welded to the interests Of the
Plowman. Having met Cora at Il
church sociable. he had taken a fancy
to her, and it was not long before he
was ready to favor her at his fathers
expense. Indeed. he laid bare the sit
uation. Cora was naturally grateful
for what she received, but saw no
way to save herself, and John Newrath
was unable to help her. However, the
Information he gave her was some
thing Of an advantage, and be knew
just how much money Newrath had to
sink and how fast it was going out.
The nearer the plucky girl came to a
financial collapse the ore sympathetic
became the man Of all work in the Of
fee Of the Plowman. He said he would
be glad to help her, but he didn't see
how he could. His father scorned to
be influenced by him, and If he asked
the old man to let up in his efforts to
ruin the Harvester he would only dou-
BILE them.
However, John formed a plan and
gave Cora a tip as to how she could
help 1t. One day he told his father
that he had heard reports about the
Fairalls getting a partner with plenty
of money to establish their paper. This
struck the old man with terror. Moth
ing troubled him o than the losing
game he bad been, playing. and the
bare idea Of failing in his plan and be-
ing run out Of business besides was a
blow to him.

that those selected for the American
team will be able to defend the cup
successfully.
Under the terms Of the deed of gift
the matches for the cup must be played
between June / and July 8. The
matches probably will be played on the
Meadow Brook polo field at Westbury,
N. Y, although the place has not been
designated as yet
Great interest has been shown as to
the personnel Of the defending team,
which, it was said, will probably hot
be determined until after a series Of
matches next spring. Henry L. Herr

were members Of different teams in the
tournaments last summer, but in order
to pull them more together they will
engage in a great deal of practice next
spring at Elton.
English polo men express themselves
