Fifty Years an Actor

The appearance of MT. William H. Crane the Elks' theater was an event of more than passing interest for this year in Phoenix MT. Crane has turned the half century post in his life activity upon the American stage. In the wake of this happy term he is meeting with signal honors evidences of the esteem in which he is held by those who know the things he has done for stage and how he has always striven to make it clean and whole and entertaining
 Fifty years is long time to serve in any calling MT. Crane, however, has done more than serve He has been great supporter of the American and in his long years of usefulness he has given unknown authors many try out. In all he has produced half hundred native comedies and the great percentage of these unqualified successes
 In building up his career MT. Crane has observed a single He says:
 Respect your calling and it will respect you"
 The one thing he has asked American dramasts has been that they provide him with which wholesome entertaining. This has led them to create dramatic offerings which have come to be known as Crane parts. Usually the lead ing character is one of those appealing types which are suggestive of the American idea of business tegrity and manly resourcefuness. No man of Cranes standing has given us as many. Into these he has infused that personal charm which is part of the man and has striven make ideals
 
 comedy romance. When look back over the great list of rugged and finely drawn characters that fill the library of his achievements surprising that theatergoers love Wm H. Crane and respect the profession that he has done so much to dgnify and foster
 We think of him as the last of that grand school which gave us Joe Jefferson, Smith Russell Frank Mayo, James A. Herne, Stuart Robson, Booth and Barrett and all the giants the dimly outlined past is tO he hon us for many season to keep alive those ideals charms which he has always brought the theater It is with pleasure that we fecitate him upon his fifty years of service well in this year of his golden jubilee.
 To the younger generation starting out upon anything so doubtful a professional career we can point to MT. Crane with pride as sure proof that sincerity, cleanliness of purpose a rugged heWlng to the standards of his earliest ideals are the things that in life and carve out the basis of solid future, for Crane has all these and his reward today is found in the material re- turn that has made him the richest actor in the world but what is of greater value he is honored and has the respect esteem of all who have seen him climb to the forefront of pro- fession and can truly say that a thing the record to cast shadow upon his claim to this regard.

 At last he got idea He sent for of President Taft's message to congress. He read it, and there was this important state secret written large and discussed before congress. The enter prising correspondent had simply transmitted it as news, assuming that it would be overlooked, it had been.

We Americans have much to from many about farming notwithstanding we may think pretty we'll advanced in that industry. In very interesting article in the current Scientific American, Homer c. Price, dean of the College of Agriculture of Ohio State University, shows us how behind the Fatherand
 The article begins with the statement that nation may increase it's food supply either by in- creasing the cultivated by increasing the yield per The latter is of course, the best way and the Germans partly compelled by necessity and partly because of their methodical habits have adopted it.
 In twenty years Germany has added only five per cultivated area though within that period the product increased sixty cent Comparative figures as production in the two countries of wheat rye, oats, barley and potatoes given.
 In Germany the average yield of wheat per for the years 1S86-95, PIP bushels; for 19O6-1O, SIP bushels gain of 47S per cent. In the United States, the average yield per acre for the first period 12.7 bushels and for the second period 147 bushels, increase of 157 per cent. We that the average production in Germany per for the latter period than twice that in the United States
 The average yield of potatoes per in Ger many, 19O6-1O, 21O1 bushels, a gain of GIG in twenty years. In the United States the yield for the period 96.9 bushels, increase of 323 per What is true of these two crops is true of all others
 It is unnecessary to state that the showing by Germany is the result of intelligent and intensive farming, but better of fertilizers and greater care in seed selection But that is not full explanation It requires money to farm the Germans farm; their fields into gardens Intensive farming is developed by cooperation and efficient business organization by of which credit is afforded the farmers. They have land mortgage associations which carrying more than a billion dollars in loans at four, and even at three cent

Jeffersonian Simplicity

There is a great deal of talk about democratic simplicity at the forthcoming inauguration, and pecialy are the references frequent Jeffersonan simplicity As matter of fact Jefferson a n aristocrat, and this statement is to derogate one jot or little from the honor due Jefferson a writer on the theory of equal chances all men, or equal rights before the courts, a brilliant and sincere popular leader. But Jefferson aristocrat and man of luxurious habits though of intellectual industry combination frequently found in of high intellect.
 Jefferson lived in fine house in splendid roundings. He owned fine paintings and statues, and used the finest china and the finest silver tableware
 He owned blooded horses, negro slaves and fer tile lands He had entry to the most exclusive social circles in Virginia and elsewhere. The difference between his standard of living and that a "poor white of his period greater than the living difference between rich and poor man to- day. Time has "haZening" effect class distinc tons as those distinctions observed by our ancestors. In the section of country in which Washington stands today pioneer conditions had been long outgroWn a century ago, and class dis functions based on family and wealth harder to break through than they W. The people of these parts hundred years ago much closer to the English idea of class of that period than to the English idea of class today.

New Words Were Blackballed

Always, indeed, in the history of every tongue men have insisted maintaining firm stand against the entrances into it of expressions of any sort. In doing they have honestly believed that they were actuaed not by senseless but by a holy zeal for purity of speech. The strongest sort of opposition has been frequently offered to the ognition of words which it would now seem to us could hardly do without. The feeling existed in high places. In 1773 the fourth edition of Johnsons dictionary published It the last edition which appeared under his supervision. Boswell tells us that he in vain urged Johnson to insert civilization" This just then beginning to take the place of "civty" in the sense of being opposed to barbarism. He refused to acknowledge the in truder "Humiatng" he admitted to be word frequently used but he did not know 1t to be eglt- innate English whatever that means.

THE DAY RETURNS, MY BOSOM BURNS

(RObert BurnS) The day returns, my bosom burns,
 The blissful day twa did meet; Though winter wild in tempest toed, Neer summer half sweet Than a the pride that loads the tide, And crosses OCT the sultry line Than kngly robes, and crowns and globes, Heaven gave more it made thee mine While day and night can bring delight, Or Nature aught of pleasure give While joys above my mind can move,
 For thee and thee alone I live; When that grim foe of life below
 Comes in between to make us part, The iron hand that breaks our band,
 It breaks my bliss-it breaks my heart

IMMENSE NAVAL
 RADIO STATION \
 IN. CANAL ZONE

Washington, Aug. s.-one of the greatest naval radio stations in the world, even eclipsing in size the new station at Arlington, Va, is to be con structed by the United States at Cai- mito, in the canal zone. It will be known as the Darien Radio Station and whereas only one of the ArIing- ton towers reaches the height of 500 feet, all three of the towers at Darien will be that height.
 The Darien plant, it is expected, will be able to communicate wrrh San. Fran cisco as well as with Arlington and to reach into the southern seas as far as Valdivia, Chilli, 421 miles south of Val paraiso, on the west coast of South America. and as far as Buenos Ayres, Argentine on. the east side. Throw ing it's waves across the Atlantic, this new station should communicate with the island of St. Vincent, 500 miles west of Africa.
 The Darien station vii Ibe used ex- c1ustve1y for governr4ent business, principally as a relay station for com municating with naval vessels in southern waters and the present wire less stations at Colon and Balboa will continue to handle messages for ships using the canal.

Pullman Says City Gan Not Establish
 Municipal Ice Plant
Legislature Must First Con. fer Special Authority
 Upon City

City Attorney Pullman has given an opinion that the city has no authority to establish a municipal ice plant. The city attorney holds that the city has only such powers as are conferred on 1t by the General Assembly and be- cause there is no act of the assembly allowing the city to establish the plant, the project cannot be carried out
 The opinion handed to the city clerk today follows:
 To the Honorable Common Council of the City of Bridgeport: Gentlemen: ]:
 In reply to your inquiry relative to the establishment of a municipal ice plant, I beg to advise you that in my opinion the City of Bridgeport has no power to establish such a plant. The City only has those powers conferred upon it by the General Assem- bly,, and such ether powers as are naturally incident to the powers granted.
 I know of no act of the legislature giving the City the right to establish municipal ice plant, and it is my opinion that the establishment of such plant is. not in any way incidental to the power that the city does have.
 Respectfully submitted. John s. Pullman, City; Attorney.
