At the Lyric

Everything is red headed at the
 Lyric this week. The only person who
 is not wearing a red wig is Monte Se-
 mon, the house manager. The reason
 for the elaborate display of the hair
 that made Titan famous is that "The
 Redheads," a pretentious vaudeville of
 fering in which the inimitable James B. Carson drives gloom to the four
 winds, is heading the bill at the Lyric all this week. As all the girls in ''The Redheads" are red headed, some by na- ture and others by inclination. it was thought to be the proper thing to make the house attaches of the Lyric red headed" also. Hence the wigs.
 As to "The Redheads," the act ap- fpeared in Birmingham a year ago. It 1 is still the same swiftly moving mu- sical comedy as of yore and James B. Carson Is a better Jacob Kaufman somewhat of a finished artist in the character he assumes. He is rather too good-for vaudeville.
 l As for his supporting company they are more than acceptable and Miss Elea- I nor Sutter Is the same charming "Rutf ] Crane" as on her last appearance in l this city The music, the costumes and | the dances, with the excellence of the l principals, make "The Redheads" by fai 1 the best musical comedy act that ha; | appeared at the Lyric this season. l Miss Miriam Weeks, a dainty bit o1 lfemininity, billed as the little Amer | ican coloratura soprano" shares in tho Ipopularity of "The Redheads" this week Miss Weeks, petite and piquant, sang with rare charm and all her numbers were roundly encored.

Ion;s Mann in .eThe Rubbleo

The late Henry Tying, in speaking Of character acting, as known on the stage in England, gave it as his opinion, the result of many years observation, that for either man or woman who chose to become a character actor it was high, ly essential that they should possess cul- tivated and well-equipped minds-that the underlying power should be the result or constant study and closest application. Louis Mann, conceded to be the leaolns character actor in the country, and who will he seen here at the Jefferson Wednes- day for one performance only, 1t would seem, fits in well with the opinion or Sir Henry Mir. Mann has always been a close student of the stage, and mental ly is one of the best equipped or any of the prominent actors of the present day. He speaks several languages and has the stage history of nearly all na- tions at his fingers tips as 1t were.

CARNEGIES BENEFACTIONs

Personal friends of Andrew Carnegie, who have been permitted to see him, notwithstanding the somewhat secluded life he leads in order better to recuper- ate his health. report him to be in fairly good condition, much better than in the spring of last year, when he was taken to the coast of Maine in Charles M. Schwab's private car. He maintains keen interest in world affairs and also continues his benefactions. The late Rob- ert c. Ogden-one of the great merchants of New York-was for years prominently identified with the advancement of edu- cational facilities among the poor in the south. He occasionally took a party of invited guests by special train to visit some of the southern states so as to be better informed respecting educational advance, especially with the poorer classes.
 The friends of the Hampton institute, near Newport News, Va, are seeking a hundred thousand dollars which, when raised. will be used to pay for me- morial hall which will bear Mir Ogden's name. Andrew Carnegie was one of MT. Ogdens special friends. and when, a few days ago, his attention was called to this purpose, he sent a check fer $50OO which brought the amount already raised up to little over $S0,000-a large enough sum to make it certain that the amount needed will be secured in the course of a few weeks

BOLIVIAN TIN WILL HELP TOSWELL OUR TRADE ID SOUTH May In Few Years Grow to Annual Value of
 $100,O0O,O00 CARNEGIE ASSISTS HAMPTON INSTITUTE Gary's Recent Statement Has Caused Much Comment As Having Bear ing On Recent Dinner Given
 to Colonel Roosevelt
By HOLLAND

New York, January 12.-(Special) )-Hor- ace c. Knowles, who in the administra- ton of President Taft was minister from the United States to Bolivia, speaks with enthusiasm of the probability that the United States will supplant Great Britain in an industry which is likely to mean increased trade with Bolivia, which may in few years amount annually to a hundred millions outgoing and incoming.
 Mir. Knowles was commissioned by the Bolivian government to supervise the construction of the buildings at the San Francisco exposition, which were to con- tain the Bolivian exhibit. He had no personal interest of proprietary or pecu- niary kind in another proposition which the Bolivian government asked him to place before men of capital in the United States. He did call the attention to many men of capital to the opportunity which the embargo placed upon the export of Bolivian tin, indirectly at least, by req son of the European war would open to the United States. Tin is one of the important minerals which are not found to commercial advantage in the United States It is, on the other hand one of the chief products of Bolivia and also has been one of the chief sources of income, since Bolivia produces tin ore of the money value on an average of 3O,000,000 year, upon which she places an export tax.
 Capital looked at the Bolivian propos- ton with indifferent eyes until at last the Guggenheims gave serious heed to it. One of their largest industries is in Chile, and transportation from Bolivia to the Chilean seaports is furnished by a rail- road system within convenient reach of the great copper plant of the Guggen- helms in Chile. Having all of the re- sources-capital, transportation and con- mand of the highest scientific accessories the Guggenheims were persuaded that they could to advantage undertake to transport Bolivian tin ore to the United States and smet it with the probability that the American market would gladly and at fair prices absorb the entire product. Millions may be involved, to the advantage of both the United States and Bolivia.
 The secretary of commerce, MT. Red field, speaks with enthusiasm of this un- dertaking, and especially of the highly perfected scientiffc processes for smelling tin the Guggenheims will establish in their plant, which lies adjacent to a part of the waters of New York harbor Should this undertaking prove success full it is sure to be spoken of as the first of the highly important steps taken in the direction of adequate preparation by the United States to take advantage of some of the opportunities now open to us on account of the European war For one thing. it will make us substantially independent of England where heretofore the entire Bolivian tin ore output has been taken for smelling

Cooperation is not the cure-all for
New England agricultural ills. # by
co operation we strove to raise prices
above the market, the West would be
drawn upon and defeat us. The West
makes the price. Cooperation does
not abolish the middleman. The as

who, knowing his income is assured
is olton less active than the commits
sion man, whose whole fortune is at
stake. There is an agent in any
event and because the cooperative
agent SO often is less able and indus
trions, many cooperative associations
fail. Cooperation is not some magic
wand that will instantly restore New
England agriculture. The stimulation
of better prices is already causing re
newed effort.

in life? Farming is a synthosis of q
dozen occupations, is both business
and science, and it's most successful
prosecution can enlist the highest

NEW eNoLAND's WEALTH

y. W. Sanborp Of Gilmanton, n II,
is a farmer, who has added TO his
property until he now owns 2l00
acres. His homo place has been in
the Sanbon family since 1928. Mr..
Sanborn, who is now past 20 years Of
age manages his big farm at net pro
flet Of better than ten per cent year.
A recent issue of the Country
Gentleman contains an interesting ar
ticle about Mr.. Sanborn and the sue
cess ne has made OF New England
farming. 1t quotes a statement of
Nj. Sanbom as follows:
THE golden age OF agriculture
was not in the past 1t is here now
aud it is song to be even more splen-
did in the future.
while the advent Of laborsaying
machinery has reduced the relative
price Of manufactured articles, it has
greatly lessened the work OF produc-
ing farm commodities. while their
price has much enhanced. Butter is
now thirtyeight cents and is made
with slight labor compared with the
ten-cent butter OF 1872 our farm
commodities are produced with less
effort and bring higher prices than
ever yet the farmer complains farm
ing does not pay.
What is the cause of New England
agricultural decadence? After the
Civil War we lost both men and
capital. The free land Of the West
the soldiers bounty land, drew one
stream thither, and our expanding
manufacturing oenters, then expert
encing a great acceleration, drew an
other stream. Money earned On om
farms was loaned on Western iarn
mortgages and to Eastern manufac
turers. Boys and capital gone, elder
~ men pcrforce titled small areas anc
that became the habit OF mind

SHAKESPEARE.

Three hundred years ago April 70,
William Shakespeare died.
Tonight at the Grand theater the
Senior class of the tBemidji high
school will present Shakespeare
comedy of Errors
Everyone should attend the play
at the Grand theater tonight, not
as a celebration in memory OF Shake
speare, but for your own memory.
Shakespeare does not need to be re-
membered, but we need to remember
him. Shakespeare still lives though
his bones; may be buried underneath
a slab in the chancel of the ,stratford
On Avon church.
It may be that you have not got
as much out of Shakespeare as you
might. If so, tonight is a good time
to find out what it is and to get It..
If you are "tired of hearing Shake
peare" it means that you do not know
him we'll enough. So we advise you
to take time to attend the comedy
of Errors tonight.

INVISIBLE HOUsECLEANING.

Now the housewife takes up car

old trunks, puts up clean curtains,

herself everlastingly disgraced if she

her family fall victim to diseases di-
