abolition of this evil within the state

strong popular sentiment. Our commits

FARMERS ON STAND
IN HARVESTER SUIT
Testify Regarding Proper
ton of Harvester Ma
chinery Used

Omaha. March 6-Two farmers were
called to testify today for the defense
in the suit of the government against
the International Harvester company
charged with violating the Sherpan
antitrust law by illegal restraint of
trade.
The government has contended that
harvesting implements composed half
of the machinery required by farmer
These two men. both well to do, gave
figures to show that harvesting ma
chinery represented only -tenths
of the value of their farm machinery.
George Swanson testified he owned
1000 acres of land, 500 acres under
cultivation. He valued his farm imple-
ments at $3.50, of which amount har-
vesting implements represented $3.50.
His testimony also brought out some
thing about the high cost of living.
He said he had been receiving for the
last two years about double the price
of 10 years ago for what he sold, while
prices for what he bought had ad-
vanced insignificantly and in many in
stances had declined.
wv. D. Howell. who farms 500 acres,
gave figures showing similar proper
tions
Hugh McCarger created a STIR when
he declared he was opposed to the

tried to beat the trust and stuck to
the independent lines as long as any
were left"
Then you became converted to the
international line because you could
no longer buy independent lines?"
asked Attorney Grosvenor for the gov
ernment.
That's it," he replied. Other wit
nesses agreed no coercion was used
by the International to force them to
sell the line of that company exclu
sively but all agreed the defendants
controlled 90 per cent of the business.

yet devised 1t has noted the failure of an Off
cial censor it has learned of the futility Of try
ing to persuade the manager to be good, and it
has found efforts to reform the players Of no
avail, it has set about reforming the audience.
That is very wise because manager is under
pressure of the economic imperative and must
play to full houses or to none at all And he has
found that salacious and indecent plays draw
the biggest houses so he has proceeded to supply
the market with that which it demands.
Now if we can get people to stay away from
bad shows, the Drama League argues, and can
get them to patronize good shows, we shall have
turned the trick and made good plays more prof
liable than bad.
So they organizing Drama League Cen
tiers Zone started in Indianapolis recently to
foster good drama. And condemn bad? No.
The louder play is condemned the more persons
does a morbid curiosity send to see it. They
simply remain silent about the shady plays and
boost the good. board of capable persons in
Chicago attend the first nights of each new
play, pass it, and if it is up to grade, send a
circular letter to each Center recommending the
same. The members of the Center attend rec
commended performances and stay away from
the others. In that way they are making it
worth while for a manager to offer first-cass
production. This is reforming the theatre
through the box-office. And box-office is a
theatres most vital part.
