THE HOPE OF THE FUTURE.

What the farmers need above all else is an in
creased demand for their products at profitable
prices. We do not mean exhorbitant or extor-
uonate prices, but prices that will pay the cost
and equitable wages for the labor required. With
such increased demand there would be increased
production-could be. and would be, almost I'M
limited production. The farmers dc, not lack acres
so much as they lack remuneration. Give them
dependable demand and profits, and the labor on
the lands will promptly increase, nature will be
called upon by the proper growth of the proper
crops to keep up the soils productive powers. Fer
thizers will be used without stint or hesitation, and
each year will bring more abundant yields than
did'the year before. These are not probabilities
only, they are certainties.
The hope of the future. then. is In the greater
demand and the assurance of price. So long as
demand depends upon the meagre distribution by
selfish greed, a large percentage of our own peo-
pie will suffer because of unsupplied needs, and
products Will go to waste in the fields or yield
little TO the producers because the spectators
have already secured all they care to handle, and
the prices on the production are driven below the
profit mark while on the consumption side they
are put above the ability Of the demand to reach
them-in fact much of the demand is taught to
believe there is no supply for them.
Unfortunately the schools lean clumsily toward

LOAD EVEN.

In loading a wagon place the load evenly over
the front and hind wheels. If any difference is
made it should be on the hind wheels. They are
larger and hence do not sink in as deep as the
smaller front wheels. The fact that the load is
farther from the team does not increase the draft
on the wagon. When the team is hitched to some
thing dragging on the ground. then the nearer
the team is TO the load the lighter the pull. This
is due to the fact that the nearer the team is
the more the pull will be upward, thus helping
to reduce the friction between the load and the
ground.-Rural Spirit.

Bear in mind that the above shows the shipments
of only one meath, November and that II compares
the shipments during November 1914, with those
OF November, 1913. Such an increase Is unprece-
dehtea, and later figures, though incomplete, show
that the increase was fully maintained during De-
csmber. United States farmers need not fear oy-
er production during the coming season-certain-
~ not of food stuffs, or any OF the commodities
mentioned In this table. Producers Of these COM
modities may well reach out TO the fullest extent
and do their very best. With the cotton crop,
however. indications are not SO favOrable.-Up-to-

Much of the press does also, and offic-
ial departments are also entirely In line
with 1t. We need not give any reason
why. Those who dictate their own
profits accumulate money and those
who must depend upon others for their
revenue are very apt to smile upon
those who are able to be liberal with
money, and those who depend upon
votes for their positions are indulgent
to those who command votes. We are
speaking mildly and we need no proof.
But there is evidently coming over
the seas a demand entirely Independent
OF local distribution. II may seek its

4 SHE dar. There is no other day
NGNINS with SO many delightful as
lEANlA sociations and tender mem
ories, no day upon which
the heart so spontaneously pours oui
its grateful tribute to the Father
above for all his goodness through the
year. And this applies equally to our.
selves as a nation, as communities
and as individuals. For peace within
our borders, for generous harvests,
for the health and welfare of our com.
munities, We owe to God a debt of
love and gratitude which finds express
sion in prayer, praise and the festivi-
ties appropriate to the annual festival
of Thanksgiving. We are usually so
much engrossed with the active busi-
ness of life as a nation that We
leave too little time for reflection on
the divine goodness; yet every day
we are surrounded by blessings.
Sleeping and waking. on the farm, in
the store, the office, the workshop

to overcome them. So, while the pass
ing year has had its SORROWS, we feel
that the joys have outweighed them,
and that We are still Gods debtors in
thanks for multitudinous blessings.
Let us show our gratitude for all of
these mercies by reaching out help
ing hand to others who have been
less fortunate than ourselves. Re
member the poor at Thanksgiving
the sick, the destitute, the hungry. the
unemployed. In every community
there are those to whom kindly
word or a generous hospitality would
bring real touch of the spirit of the
festival. Pass on your blessings. By

Playing Out of Doors.

This is the time of year when every
man has within him a desire to get
out of doors and play. And those who
have fewest opportunities to obtain out,
of-door recreation during the year are
very likely to have the play fever in a
most virulent form. The sober and
dignified man. who sits all day and ev.
cry day in a sober and dignified office
feels that he really must get out some.
where, where the grass is green and
the air is clean, and kick his sober
heels far toward the sky and release
a series of startling whoops from his
dignitied interior. So, granting that
this is the time when people who work
desire to play out of doors, is 1t sur
prising that the people whose work is
called playing should also have the
fever of spring? Just as the regular
indoor workers get the fever, SO do
the players-and each year more and
more of the players are ending their
seasons work with out-ofdoor perfor
mances.

POLLS

Another play entirely new to Wash
ington will be the offering of the Poll
Players this week, in C. Haddon
Chambers dramatic success, "Passers-
By" which had run Of an entire year
in London and then was brought to
America by Charles Frohman, who
kept it on Broadway all season with
Richard Bennett in the leading role.
The next year Mr.. Frohman sent it on
tour with Charles Cherry In the lead
ing part. Through some odd coinci-
dence the play. while offered in most
of the other large cities, was never
brought to Washington
MIR. Chambers has chosen an odd
theme for "Passers-By." The char
acters are for the most part a strange
assortment of human beings who drift
about the streets of London. The CEN
tral figure Is young London club
man who entertains these characters,
the flotsam and jetsam of a great city.
Among those who drift into the hero's 8
rooms is a young woman, who quick
ems his heart, and there develops an
absorbing romance. The author has
handled his story with the same deft-
ness and sincerity that were manifest
in his lighter offering, THE Tyranny
of Tears" which John Drew revived
last season.
Charles Mackay will be seen in the
role of the young clubman, the part
created in this country by Richard
Bennett, and Miss Kemble will be seen
as the girl. There are many other
strihing character studies in the play.

In point of originality and features
out of the ordinary B. F. Forrester's
american Beauties company in
two-act musical comedy, this weeks
attraction at the Gayety Theater, Is
said to be in advance of any burlesque
entertainment presented in this city
for quite a while. Lew Hilton, Billy
Evans, Lloyd Perrick and Harry Ford
are the comedians, with a feminine
cast. headed by Maudie Heath, Percie
Judah and Bonnie Dale. The program
opens with "The Tango Factory" by
Thomas ]. Gray. with music by Ray
mond Walker. The song numbers were
staged by Julian Alfred. The piece
was written for laughing purposes
only, but contains an interesting plot
and plenty scope is given comedians
and principals to display their ability.
The company numbers fifty people, and
includes a well trained chorus of
thirty show girls. During the action of
the play sixteen big musical hits will
be introduced. In the second act, "The
Country Club" cabaret scene will be
offered. in which are number Of vaude-
Vile speciaities, introducing a violin

NATIONAL.

One of the interesting announce
ments of the season is that of the
coming to the National Theater this
week of John Drew in the comedy In
which he has been appearing at
Charles Frohman's New Empire The
ater, '"The Prodigal Husband" by Dario
Niccodemi and Michael Morton. The
collaborators are credited with having
fitted Mr.. Drew with one of the best
roles he has had in recent seasons.
The new comedy differs somewhat
from the vehicles in which Mr.. Drew
has lately been seen. The story, in ad-
dition to laughable dialogue and situa-
tions, contains an extremely ingenious
casionally interrupts the charming
humor.
Mr.. Drew is supplied with the oppor-
tunity for subtle and varying char
band with tendency to fast" living
and the story deals with his career
during a tempestuous period when his
young and pretty wife has become
estranged from him. His shortcom-
ings are brought home to him by a
child. the daughter of his housekeeper.
in whom he has shown a protecting
interest. Through a series of amusin g
scenes, replete with sparkling dialogue
and delightful situations, his adven-
once unexpected and laugh-provoking.
Mr.. Dre%s company, chosen by Charles
Frohman, offers cast headed by Miss
Martha Hedman, who will be pleasant
ly remembered for the agreeable i'm
preston she made two seasons ago
with John Mason in Mr.. Frohman's pro-
duction of The Attack" Since then
she appeared with Sir George Alex
ander at the St. James Theater in
London. She returned to this country
especially for her present role in The
Prodigal Husband" The other players
include Ferdinand Gottschalk, Henry
Crocker. Clinton Preston, Harry Leigh
ton, Walter Soderling. J. Homer Hunt.
Rose Winter, Josephine Gayler and
May Gayler.
Mr.. Frohman has produced the new
comedy with the customary Frohman
good taste and painstaking care, the
settings being splendid specimens of
the scenebuilders' art. Opportunities
are given the women of the company
to exhibit beautiful gowns.
