Plays for the People.

From the Boston Herald.
That Germany has weIl-nigh solved
the problem of q high-elass drama
for working people at popular prices
was shown in Berlin daring the re-
cent Shakespeare celebration by big
audiences in all parts Of the city at
cents a head. The secret of that
provision is the New Free Peoples
Theatre movement, with $4,000 mem
bers, who are at once subscribers and
patrons. They pay small fee and
may attend either their society's own
house, the Neues Volks Theatre, or
any of the twelve other theatres
which il hires for performances.
Some s26 of these were given during
the past year by thoroughly skilled
companies with well-known actors
and actresses in the principal roles,
permitting the utmost freedom Of Sc
lection and an ample number of Wis
its. The promoters insist on excel
lence, but there is no lack of va
riety. The society chooses and pro-
duces works for itself, drawing upon
everything from the classics down
to the latest musical comedy sue
cess. There are also given at inter
walls great symphony concerts chain-
ber~music evenings. evenings for
classical readings, literary lectures
and lectures on art.
Out Of the activities OF the so.
ciety has grown a fund Of nearly
5000, 900 for the building Of a nagniti-

The Fox Ranch Industry in Canada.
From the Toronto Globe.
The report for 1918 of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture in Prince Ed
ward Island contains statistics that
show the Importance Of this industry
in that province. Under the authority
of a statute passed in that year to
change the mode of taxation of young
foxes. an enumeration was made last
August. and it was found that there
were 273 ranches, stocked with foxes
young and old at the aggregate value
of SIS. 600 900. Some idea Of the local
importance Of foX-ranching may be
obtained from the fact that the az
gregate value Of all the ordinary
farm live stock on the island was
at the census of 1911, less than seven
and a half millions; just half Of the
value Of the foxes.
The report notes a falling off in the
/ increase Of young foxes in 1913, at

ventilation of the dens. and as the
foxes are hardy and healthy ami,

, fidence is expressed that the industry
will continue in its present favorable
position. Fur-farming has beer
widened to include the rearing OF
beaver, raccoon. mink, muskrat SABLE

Holland, which is usually regarded
as made up of sober, industrious peo-

ordered 900 prosecutions of agents OF
private lotteries. The law of Holland
tolerates only one lottery. This is q
