" Macbeth" Presented
By ManteII Company

Shakespea res tragedy Macbeth"
was given by Robert Z. Mantell and his
before in Washington. Delineation of
the character Of that arch fiend of the
Scots. VINO stopped at naught to crafty
his vaultfng ambitions, is a power which
Mr.. Mantell possesses without question.
The stature of the actor. his regal
bearing, and his elocutionary gifts fit
him peculiarly for the impersonator of
the murderous Scotch king. AS spoken
bv the actor. the subtly haunting of
Shakespeare's lines receives full value
and the delicate shades OF meaning are
carried to every auditor as the behoider
is grtpped with the narrowing power OF
the drama.
How this great barharic character.
somewhat Of a dreamer, who lacks the
force to carry out his ambitious de-
O1gns is portrayed by Mr.. Mantell
n 2 manner IN which the actor has not
o peer on the modern stage. Particu-
larly during those intimate passages with
his Lady. In which the tender relations
OF the melancholy pair are so clearly
shown the actor shows his exceptional
mastery over the part.
Then, again, Mr.. Mantell is capably
supported. Miss Florence RockwelTs
fmpersonation OF the Lady Is in keeping
with the part taken by Mr.. MantelI.
Here is a wife anxious for her hus-
bands worldly success, and, led on by
this desire, she instigates his first crime.
The actress gives a successful imperso-
nation Of the serpentine cruelty in the
early phases of Lady Macbeths charac-
ter, turning &c despair and remorse in
the later acts. Her enunciations and
infections are excellent and her rend-
ing of the sleep-walking scene is touch
ing i'm its sympathetic appeal.
Fritz Lieber's forceful Macduff stands
out as most convincing and pictur-
esoue figure. rugged and unaffected.

HUB PHONE GIRLS
READY FOR STRIKE
Indignant Over Action of Conn.,
pany, Operators Await An
sWer to Their Demands.

BOSTON. April 9-Indignant over
what they assert was a violation Of the
truce by the telephone company in
flooding the city with expert operators
to act as strike breakers, the 1000
hello girls" OF Boston were ready to-
day to go on strike the moment the
company gives its answer TO their de-
mands before the State board OF arbi-
tration, should the answer be unsatis-
factory.
The fact that more than 1.OO9 girl op-

municated to the operators at their
midnight meeting. and a vote for an i'm

CO.ODcrntiOn Needed.

1t Is n well-known fact that con-
sumers in towns and cities do not
buy perishable food products on
basis of the price paid producers.
Even when vegetables and fruit are
rotting in the fields and orchards for
want Of a market the prices of such
things are seldom reduced In the re-
tail markets. 1t is estimated that
a hundred thousand car loads Of
farm products rot in the fields in
this country ever year, the most of
which would be consumed If It were
not for the prohibitive tolls demand
ed by an excessive supply Of distrib-
uting agencies, with their duplica-
tion Of service and other expenses
that can be eliminated by consolida-
tion and cooperation.

What n Good School VIII DO.

Telling us of a consolidated school
in Panola county, Prof. NJ. e. More
head, Of Courtland, Miss, writes us
as follows: "The school was formed
by the union of three or four ortli-
nary, inefficient one-teacher schools.
A site was selected, commodious
building erected, modern desks and
all necessary equipment installed,
and three good teachers, including
$1OO-man as principal, were elected.
Transportation wagons carry those
who are too far to walk. More thaH
100 pupils have been in attendance
for the past two sessions and the
school has done efficient work. 1t
has demonstrated the fact to our
people that good schools may be
had in the country. The cost of the
improved school is very little more
than that OF the weak schools before
consolidation. Without considering
the cultural value to the people, and
the influence of the school in all the
affairs of their community life, one
illustration will show the material
benefit that the people have derived.

Musty records show that tentative
plans for a government horse farm
crept into the minds Of the War De-
partemnt officials at that time. But
other more pressing things kept those
plans from maturing. Then the war
ended, and there being no further
great need Of horses the idea was
forgotten. From that time, until
some three years ago, whenever
horses were needed, men simply went
out and bought them, picking them
up wherever and as best they could.
Then, one day, number OF high
Estaff officers Of the army, watching
a cavalry review, made some rather
disparaging remarks concerning the
appearance of the horses.
Some of 'em look like mountain
goats, and the rest like buffaloes."
said one of the officers, and the re
mark got to the ears of Capt. Con-
rad, and set him to thinking.
The result was that a few weeks
later he went to the War Depart
Inent, secured an audience with the
secretary. and laid before that OFF,
cial rough plan Of a scheme where-
by the army, and in time all the
other citizens who so desired, could
Eide not only good horses, but thor
oughbreds, and at a cost less than
that now usually paid for an animal
intended only to pull a milk wagon.

Alcohol from Spoiled Fruit.

Washington, July 24.--The utili-
cation Of farm produce for the man
ufacture of denatured alcohol is pro-
posed in a bill introduced to-day by
Senator Lane, Of Oregon. 1t au-
thorizes farmers and fruit growers
to manufacture 'denatured alcohol
without paying the customary inter-
nal revenue tax. Lane believes that
this plan will enable the Western
farmer to utilize practically every
pound of green or spoiled fruit and
vegetables, rejected potatoes and in

BITS OF INFORMATION.
Random Thoughts for Farmers
How to Cure Pea Hay.
Progressive Farmer.)

tIEOEJEebB1fS II dlDlSI'J
Begin moving when the peas turn
yellow in the pods. Now in the
mornings till noon; IL possible run
a tedder right after the mower to
keep the hay tossed up and hasten
the whiting. Rake into windrows
that afternoon. Next morning turn
the windrows with the rake while
the mowers are running on other
parts. That afternoon put this hay
into cocks as narrow and tall as will
stand well. Then, as soon as you
can take a handful of the hay and
twist 1t and can wiring no sap to the
twist, haul the hay to the barn and
let 1T settle with it's own weight
without tramping, and then let It
alone and it will cure all right. If
it heats some, let it heat. If you go
to stirring it to cool it, you will let
in germs of mold from the air and
will have moldy hay.
Now, l have cured it in this way
many years and never made any
mo1dy hay, but had it come out with
the leaves on and green in color, and
far better feed than the usual assort-
ment of sticks that many make by
letting the hay lie in the sun to
bleach and the leaves to get dry and
crisp. In fact, ! have found curing
peavine hay as easy as any other hay
if you simply let it cure and do not
"monkey' with all sorts Of scaffolds
and contrivances that merely dry the
hay and lose the leaves, the best part
Of the hay.

The buildings are run on identi-
cally the same principle followed in
hospitals for humans. There Is
trained resident veterinarian, who
resides in the main ward, and who
never leaves. Under him is an army
sergeant farrier, who, though not
graduate OF a veterinary college, has
been handling and caring for sick
horses for twenty-five years and who
knows his job. He is second in COM
mand, and under him are half a
dozen helpers, who might be termed
horse internes. 1t is a common
thing for them to sit up with a sick
horse all night, taking its tempera-
ture, bathing it and giving it medi-
cine, for all the world like a mother
with a sick child.
The hospital has it's operating
room, too, ose of the most unique in
existence. 1t Is huge square room
of white tile and concrete, with
every article in It, sterilized to the
last letter. In the center Of the
room are two heavy iron pillars run
ming from floor to roof, about ten
feet apart. Fixed to the pillars by
giant chains and hinges is great
padded table Of steel covered with
sterilized canvas. At various spots
on the table enormous bands of felt
lined leather are fastened.
When not in use the table Is tilted
up so that its sides lie parallel with
the pillars, with a narrow passage
way between the two. When it is
necessary to operate the horse is led
into this passageway-and then the
use of the leather bands becomes ap-
parent.
In the briefest instant one Is fast
ened about the animals neck, ano-
tber around his girth, Others about
his legs-and SO on until the horse.
without being hurt in the least, is
nevertheless held SO fast that he cam
not move an inch. Then a big crank
at one side of the table is turned
and In moment the table Is lowered
until it Is parallel with the floor, the
horse being lifted off his feet during
the process. Lying out fat, he is
now awaiting the anesthetic and the
knife.
