An Opening In the Cave.


~ HERE is a dry bituminous wood
upon the plateau--a species of
araucaria, according to our
botanist-whlch is always used
by the Indians for torches. Each Of
US picked up faggot of this, and we
made our way up weed covered steps
to the particular cave which was mark
ed In the drawing. 1t was, as / had
said. empty, save for great number
OF enormous bats, which tapped round
our heads as we advanced into It, As
we had no desire to draw the attention
OF the Indians to our proceedings we
stumbled along In the dark until we
had gone round several curves and pen
etratcd considerable distance into the
cavern. Then. Mt last, we lit our
torches. II was beautiful dry tunnel
with smooth gray walls covered with
native symbols, a curved roof which
arched over our heads. and white glIs
tening sand beneath our feet. we hur.
rled eagerly along 1t until. with a deep
groan of bitter disappointment, we
were brought to halt. A sheer wall

Stanley F. Morse.-One reason why
our western farmers are not making
more money is that they are devoting
too much time to gambling. By this it
meant they are constantly playing
poker, shooting craps, or mixing with
faro men. The fact of the matter is
that our farmers are gambling too
much with their farming operations
The principal type of gambling is an
endeavor to find some crop or live
stock product which will make them
rich quicker.

Arthur Capper.-We are all more or
less the victims of wave of bad taste,
a lowering of standards of conduct. a
universal rag-time of the tiddle-de
winks of life. Speed mania, dissapa-
ton, too many distractions, over stim-
ulation of the emotions, are giving the
ideas of life. 1t is almost national
peril. 1t threatens a generation of
marital happiness and misery. The
world has never seen a more difficult
age in which to properly rear a boy
or girl. Some day there viii be a
harvest of all our frivoities.

l.. S. Herron.-Uncle Sam is about to
dip into the road building business
upon the signature OF the president to
the bill passed by congress appropriat-
ing $50. 100000 To be used In the next
five years in the building of roads in
cooperation with the states. This is as
unwarranted a measure as congress
ever passed. ] can see no good reason
why the federal government should
have anything to do with roads in the
states, aside from furnishing informa-
tion. The people must pay the bill
federal aid is not a gift-and for the
most part must be paid by taxation
that is even less equitable than the
property tax by which state and local
revenues are raised. Just at this time
especially. when treasury officials are
talking about bond issue to replenish
the national money chest. It seems
most Inappropriate to make large ex-
penditures of federal funds for work
that belongs properly to the states and
counties.

A. H. Gerbaz.-The natural mode of
farming is where two or more bothers
or partners get together on ranch,
with each doing the work best adapted
to him. For example: One takes irri-
CATION, dairy work, potato crop, ranch
accounts, and ranch reclaiming or cul-
tivating. The other takes repairing,
farm machinery. grain crops. hogs,
chickens, sheep and the forge work.
If another he looks after the hay crops,
horses, cattle carpentry and ranch re-
pairing. Each is absolute boss in his
own department. No buying or sell
ing is to be done without agreement
of all parties. Hateful work can be
done by turns. When one has not his
work to do ne is to help the others.

 o have opened in Birmingham nevertheless, an excellent start
 reopening of the Bijou.
 Happy Ending were the two plays com manding attention.
 '.The Guilty Man. adapted and trans- lated by Ruth Helen Davis, was conspicu- ous chiefly because B. Iden Payne staged it, and because couple of brand new stars were made. Irene Fendick was the featured member of the cast but Miss Fenwick failed to sustain that interest in her work which "Outcast" and "Ths Song of Songs established. On the other hand, a meritorious young actress, Emily Ann Wellman, achieved the highest dis. tinction of the season so far, and with her on her rise to distinction was Gareth Hughes, brilliant and talented young actor who has a way of scoring sue cesses. He won the highest commenda. ton for the excellence of his part, which was of such brief duration that his artis- tic triumph was all the greater.
 The Happy Ending came to an un- happy end Saturday night after one W eek. This play deserved better. It was staged with consummate skill by William Gilmore, and with every lavish expendi- ture by Arthur Hopkins. It was original in theme, but badly treated as to story. Indeed, it was the lack of interest in the story, and it's disjointed and disconnected situations that is chiefly responsible for It's failure. But it is to be improved and produced on tour. If so, undoubtedly pa trcns of the theatre will see play of more than passing interest. Of the large cast of players the chief honors went to Irby Marshall, Florence LaClercq, Will liam Gilmore and some of the minor char acters, not the least of whom was Mar garet Fareleigh and Cecil Yapp.
