The Winning OF
Barbara Worth
NEW LINES FOR SHOW THAT
PLEASES PROLOGUE RE-
MAINS THE SAME.

r. A. Haywood, the advance man
of the attraction, "rhc Winning Of
Barbara WORTH" was In the city to-
day. This production will be pre-
scented ut the Grand on November
9th. The play was seen here last
season. Every theater goer was I'M
pressed with the prologue but were
disappointed in the performance that
followed. The play did not follow
closely enough the story portrayed by
Harold Bell Wright in the clever
novel.
Soon after the show was here last
season new lines were written for the
play by Mark Swan. The new pro-
duction follows closely the story, but
there has been little il any change in
the prologue.
Augusta West, two seasons with
Henry w. Sayage's Excuse Me-"
will be seen as Barbara Worth and
Theodore Hardy, formerly with David
Belasco's Governors Lady" is the
leading man.
The show has been playing totbig
houses all season and has been pleas
ing. The play us it is rewritten
makes it much better production
than 1t formerly was.

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE cROF
Per Acre Value Five Times More
Than Clover-Some Wisconsin
Census Figures Which Talk
for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census of the
hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew
$4,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged
2.8 tons per acre for the entire state
and the average acre value of the
crop was $31.00. During the same
year the combined acreage of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre
valued at $14.00. 1t costs no more to
grow an acre of alfalfa than it does
to grow an acre of timothy or clover
The average cost of growing an acre
of clover or timothy is approximately
$1,000. Thus the farmer would clear
$500 per acre in growing these crops
whereas if he grew alfalfa he would
make a profit of $21OO per acre, O,

Tinted action has accomplished much. The necessity of cheap fuel in Alaska. or outside of 1t for that matter. will t, conceded. Alaska needs it SO that Fer mining development can proceed npace. This statement applies to no porticuiar section of the territory. It is universal. With this end in view a number of Fairbanks mining men have evolved e plan whereby permission may be granted to mine coal upon the same basis wood is cut on the public domain. These men point out that there are vast areas of low grade placer ground that could be worked profitabiy if cheap fuel could be ob- teined and it is added that Eastern capitalists arc ready to invest in this ground as soon as coal can be se- cured at a reasonable price.
 Alaska cannot be measurabIy de- veioped without capital. There is no rev country that offers better oppor- tunities for the investment of cap itsl. and none that needs it more. T,.ere is nothing in the cry about the encoachments of capital SO far as Alaska is concerned. There is a cry for more capital. not for less; as there would be & demand for much more labor. and not for less with the devel- opment of the latent resources of the territory.

Official Paper
SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914

It appears that one of the first tan gible results of the Henry Ford profit sharing plan has been 6 decided boom to the marriage market of De. troit. Seventy-five of his employees have been married since the announce ment of the plan. The Marriage Lie cense Clerk. who appears to be a bit o: philosopher. says:
 T have talked with good many of them while making out their licenses. They were all tickled over their good fortune. Most of them. I believe. have been engaged for quite Q while. try ing to save up enough money to give them g start, and finding 1t Q hard task. But now. with living wages as. Eured them as long as they behave themselves and are industrious, they feel that they can take 6 wife,"
 This Is precisely the result that MT. Ford hoped would follow the announ- cement of his plan. He believed that assurance of increaaed pay and per- manence of employment would en- courage men to take up the responsi- tilities of family life, as well as en- courage those who already had these responsibilities. In conversation he emphasized the fact that it was the family rather than the individual hs planed to aid. Because working yemen. as Q rule. had no families to support he omitted women from his plan. but in response to c direct oues. ten said that if he found woman in his employ supporting dependent re- lativss she would be granted the same advantages as the men. Furthermore it e man drawing his share of the profits should be found neglscting his family obligations. his bonus. if not his employment would cease.
 But it ts curious fact that . ma- jority of the public comments on his plan have been unfavorabic, hyper- critical or expressing doubt of its suc- cess. Even the letters printed in the newspapers seem to have been written iy people more concerned to conjure up some reason why 90 vast . bsns- faction would prove futile or harmful than to hail it as an evidence of a sincere purpose to do q glorious good deed.
 Has the hard economic struggle of modern life deadened the pprecia- tich of bsnevolenco in mems minds! h 1t the now mental attitude of the people that . great and sood deed shall be grestsd with snscr and the pro- phecy that only evil will come from it1
 That sssms to havo besn the spiri' 7, which . srsat section cf the psssa received the Ford announcement. "
