Money and Dry Farming

Colorado ought not to be hehindhand
with other states that have vacant
lands to cultivate and which are taking
practical steps to aid farming and
make the lands productive. Some of
these states have taken legislative
means to enable farmers TO secure
money on easy terms from public funds
and others thru private endeayor have
done the same thing.
In due time the federal authorities
will recognize the influence of the tiller
Of the land as prime f2ctor in pro-
gress and prosperity and will amend
the federal banking laws to give the
farmer equal adyantageges with the
storekeeper and manufacturer.
In the meantime it is proposed in
this state to organize a iamers' loan
corporation TO be Of service more i'm
mediately TO the dry farmer. This is
an enterprise that is practical and
humanitarian at the same time.
Dry farming is elemental. Most Of
the persons that take up dry lands are
poor. The lands are cheap to begin
with and this is the real incentive to
the family that cannot afford to buy or
rent irrigated lands. Every season dry
farming in this state is developing and
paying the industrious farmer. But
much can be done by corporation
formed on business basis 10 aid the
farmer stock his land and advise him
regarding the manner OF farming. In
SO doing the company would be helping
along the state and adding to its pro-
ductlye capacity. Denver News.
The above is late, dut still appropri-
ate and needed. In 1912, after the
heart-breaking season OF the year be-
fore the Denver Chamber of Commerce
raised fund to aid dry land farmers
to get seed Logan county did the
same thing for the dry land farmer oi
that county. A good many thousand
dollars were loaned from this fund, and
it has been paid back. 1t was
not charity, but simply a good business
proposition that did involve some ele-
ment Of risk, but results have showed
the risk not greater tnan taken on the

BEAUTIFUL VAMPIRE"
Discusses D'Annunzio's
Eccentricities.

Theda Bara, famous whenever
there Is a motion picture theatre
(aDd where on the face of the
earth isn't there one) is an init
mate acquaintance of Gabrielle
D'ADDuDzlo, the eccentric and
brilliant author of la GiocoDda,
picturIzed for William Fox, as
"The DEVILS Daughter and the
creator of the celebrated Cabiria.
The actress met the writer when
she was leading woman Of the
Antoine Theatre, Paris, the thea
ire of thrills of he French capi.
tai. When D'Annunzio sold the
picture rights of "The DEVILS
Daughter" to William Fox he
stipulated that Miss Bara must
play the title role for, as he ex.
pressed 1t picturesquely, "There
is no one else on earth who is half
serpent and half woman, like my
Gioconda, except Mile. Bara :"
The actress declares she does
not know whether to be offended
or pleased by this remark of the
ltaiian authors.
81 first met D'Annunzio when
he came To Paris to put on a
playlet of his at the Theatre An.
toine," said Miss Bara, in discuss.
ing the erratic genius, 81 shall
never forget my first impression
Of him. Dark, piercing eyes.
high pitched screaming voice and
an air Of overwhelming conceit.
He carried q small dog and
shaded himself from the sun on
the Boulevard with a rose cOlored
parasol. His clothes were all
pure white but q scarlet sash
about his waist made a vivid
splash of color. The playlet he
was putting on was mystic sort
of thing with a wicked woman of
the world AZ heroine.
"Another actress was cast for
this character. But az soon as
she came upon the stage DAN
nunzio shrieked out in his shrill
voice that she would not do at all.
The actress was furious. Slel
Stepped up to the author and
gave his face ringing slap.
D'Annunzio merely laughed
Then his eyes fell on me. At the
Antoine we gave three or four
thrilling or sensational playlets
at each performance. As | was
cast in two Of these had plenty
Of work on my hands. But Dan
nunzl0 insisted that l should play
the leading part in his sketch.
IprOtested and the manager tried
to make D'AnnunziO change his
mind. But he was inslstent. He de
clarea that il / did not take the
part he would not put on his
playlet. As nythlng from his
pen was a big drawing-card mat
ters were finally arranged and |
scored an emphatic success in
the role. When Mr.. Fox cast me
for the same part ia "Tbe DEVILS
