While half of the people are wanting 10 read and many are talking of the drama, there Is one earnest tireless little worker in Cable hall--Mrs Earle F. Me- Lin-who is striving daily with her class to prepare them for the beautiful art Of expression. As she meets you at the doorway of her studio you are at once impressed with her love of the work. She is so full of that early lesson learned at the Boston School of Expression and afterward at the New York Dramatic school, that one at once recognizes the real actor that she is, and peeps around to see the stage. Mrs McIdn realizes We are anxious to see what constitutes a school of expression so she tells us at once. how delightful 1t is to paint real hfe in prose, in poetry. in tra gedy. of comedy in words or motion.
 Oh, said she, in answer to the query,
 How do you teach in classes or indvid- ual lessons? "I teach one pupil at a time or course, this is best, for seldom a pu- pil has confidence enough at first to read. even before class, but IS their work ad- Nances We have public reeitals and these are very valuable and enjoyable You know, there are four big emotions-iove, hate joy, sorrow One reading Is based on proper interpretations reader who aimlessly drifts along the lines hardly catches the spirit of the story, conse- quently it needs expression to give out the object lesson--that every good story has. Expression helps the pupil to bring out the truth in reading. We never appre- ciate the actor who does not give a dis tinct expression of the play. We recoz- nize 1t Is poor acting. Reading brings out character study, 1t develops thought, and Is a fine memory exercise Besides It shows moral, the real intent of the author; whether in prose or poem."
 Do you prepare pupils for the stage9"
 "Oh, yes, and love the stage. For two years l was an actress, and I shall never forget the pleasure of an appreciativc | audience-just here the actor reads the public, and their approval is a great in- l huence on the acting. One forgets so l csompletely self that they are transformed into the real character they represent 1 and only by this means can there be good

acting. This is very much the case In reading. One must lose self and become so absorbed in the matter that they seem to personally take the character parts n the study. As an example, two of her pupils came in-Miss Katherine Lithlcum recited, with a charming ease, story filled with the quizzing of a spoiled child, and the answers from mother absorbed in other purposes with indifferent an- swers. There we found a story true to life read with so much personality that we were both mother and child at the same moments-then we began to value the force of training in expression.
 Again are realized the value of reading to voice culture. to grace of movements and a real form of physical culture. And before we had fully forgotten the whining voice of the anxious questoner. Miss Ed wina Wood told us story of tragic love- and almost introduced the freak of man

HOW FARM AGENT
HELPS FARMERS.
AIlegan Paper Tells of Success In
Western County.

SiesdH VdpeT teUs OF ouoCoss Ut
Western County.
Farm problems are many and varied
says the Allegan Gazette. Happy ID
that farmer who sees the need of ap
plying the best business principles to
his operations and who approaches
every vital problem with an open mind.
In the movement for better farming
no more potent factor exists for good
or bad than the attitude of the man at
the helm. If inclined to be Fair minded
and looking for the truth, man will
merge into the progressive ranks in
spite of obstacles,
Mr.. Roger Reed of Saugatuck pur-
chased farm a few years ago with a
history At an early day this land was
made to grow whe at as regular crop
until no more availa BILE piosphoric acid
was left to produce grain. As the
wheat crop failed the whole area was
set out to peach trees This in turn
was cultivated until no humus was left
to grow even peach crop. Thus re
duced to critical condition wherein
many strips formerly of good sandy
loan were becoming blow-sand, the
above mentioned farmer began the job
of reconstruction in earnest. Anxious
for all the information he could get on
the worn hand problem, Mr.. Reed joined
the farm bureau, thoroughly believing
that there must be something back of
this movement for better farming that
would prove helpful. Close at hand
was ravipe where lay a muck bed
fifteen or twenty feet deep. A sample
of this muck was sent to the station
CHI enlist for analysis and pronounced
three per cent nitrogen more or less
available, and nearly all pure humus.
What An immense reserve of fertil-
ity Just the elements sorely need on
any wornout soil, also the ones most
difficult to get in sufficient quantities
to put life and physical condition back
into the soil. With manure spreader
as distributor for muck, also for mari
taken from bed nearby, direct road
to soil fertility took substantial form.
BY the addition of liberal dressing Of
acid phosphate this soil bids fair to
beat its old record.
The recognition of one opportunity
leads to another. Vetch and rye began
to loom as great cover crop to sow in
the cornfield at the last cultivation and
be either plowed under in the spring as
a soil builder or left for hay or seed.
Vetch seed for forty. FIVE acres of corn
ground was secured, inoculated with
the vetch bacteria and sowed at the last
cultivation. with rye. one year ago last
fall. Last spring inquiries began to
come in for rye and vetch seed, so this
crop was left end threshed for seed. In
all one thousand bushels of this mixture
was threshed that went quickly to the
trade for 81. so per bushel.
