but on many farms the Improbable
dairy cow is: not the only boarder:
Low yielding acres, like boarder cows,
are often fatal to successful farming:
Our farm survey records show that
acres of poorly drained, compact and
sour soils or soils low in humus great

a frequent cause of minus labor In

that as much as 80 per cent Of the en-:

enough to pay its way.
One farm in Wisconsin on which rec.
ords were recently taken has forty
acres Of poorly drained land that in its
present condition ia practically worth
less. Twenty-Five dollars per acre spent
in drainage will make this forty acre
tract the equal of any in that district,
and good land is selling there at $3.50
per acre. A small portion of similar
land on this farm has already been
tile drained and is now producing a fair
profit on each acre so improved.
The successful business man always
tries to weed out all Improbable enter

ALLIES CLOSING
IN ON MONASTIR
TEUToNIc LINES REPORTED TO
HAVE BEEN BROKEN ON BOTH
SIDES OF cERNA RIVER.
Serbians, In Cooperation With the
French, Capture Villages South
of Monastir.-Germans Make
Furious Attack on French.

London.-Tn the Macedonian theatre
the entente troops continue to press
the Teutonic allies in the Cerna river
region, and according to the Serbian
war office, have seriously broken their
line both east and west of the Cerna
southeast of Monastir, capturing four
additional villages east of the river
and on the west side driving them
back from several additional points
toward Monastir.
Berlin admits that in the Cerna re-
gion the Bulgarian-German forces have
left old and occupied newly prepared
positions. To the east the British
have taken the town of Karakaska, on
the east side of Lake Tahinos.
Capture by the Serbians of the vii.
lagos of Tepavtsi and Gniles, south,
east of Monastir, is reported in Reu-
ter dispatch from Saloniki. 1t says
the Serbians, in cooperation with the
French, captured all the positions
south of Tepavtsi after fierce fighting.
German troops defending the positions
sustained considerable losses. The
prisoners already counted, the CORE.
spondent says, are 500 soldiers, two
officers and five cadets.
The German attack on AblaincouIt
and Pressoire on the Somme front on
Thursday was an attempt to break
through the French lines over an ex-
tent of two and one-half miles. The
attacking forces consisted of a divi-
sion and half in the morning and a
division and half in the afternoon,
the whole strength being directed
against two villages.
The divisions were formed of Sc
lect regiments, chiefly Prussians, Of
whom some were of the guard, and
Hanoverians.
Six successive waves swept down
upon the village between 1870 o'clock
and 1915 in the morning and before
the afternoon had ended Pressoire had
been attacked twelve times. 1t is re-
ported that in the course of these at
tempts, now renderd vain by the
French operations of Thursday night,
some of the regiments engaged lost
60 per cent of their electives.
In the Ancre region of France,
where since Monday the British have
made notable gains over the Germans,
the fighting apparently has lessened
greatly in violence, the latest British
official communication reporting only
bombardments by the Germans of
their newly won front to the north
of the stream.

FRANCIS M. LYMAN CALLED.
President of Quorum Of Twelve Apos-
tles Succumbs to Pneumonia.

President Of Quorum of Twelve Apos-
ties Succumbs TO Pneumonia.
Salt Lake.-Francis M. Lyman,
president of the quorum of the twelve
apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, and next in rank
in the church to the first presidency,
died Saturday morning November 18,
at o'clock at his home here, follow
ing an acute illness of only two days.
His death was due to pneumonia,
which he contracted the Sunday pre-
vious while in the performance of
church duties in Box Elder county,
where he went to attend stake confer
ences. While driving overland from
Brigham City he caught cold, which
brought on the fatal attack.
Apostle Lyman was one of the most
conspicuous figures of the church to
which he devoted almost his entire
career. He was known throughout the
state, the United States and in for
eign countries for his activity in
church work. He was also a partici-
pant in the building up and the devel-
opment of Utah.
Born in Illinois in 1910, he accom-
panied the first of the pioneers that
came across the plains in 1S4S to make
their home in Utah. At the age of s
years he drove an OK team over the
plains when he was hardly able to
lift the yoke that went around the
neck of the oxen. His life in Utah
has been that of the pioneer builder
who rose superior to the trials and
hardships of the early days. He was
community builder and an influen-
tial figure in business and civic life
as well.

CONVOY IS SUNK BY
THE DEUTSCHLAND
UNDERSEA LINER RETURNS TO
PORT AFTER RAMMING TUG,
WHICH GOES BOTTOM.
Accident Caused by Swift Currents
and Darkness Which Was To Be
Medium Of Safety, Submarine
Being Slightly Damaged.

New London, Conn.--F'iVe lives were
lost when the German submarine
Deutschland, which left port early
Friday for Bremen, rammed and sent
to the bottom with its crew of five the
tug r. A. Scott, Jr., one of its two
conveying tugs.
After the accident the Deutschland
returned to port.
The collision was the subject OF
federal investigation Friday afternoon.
The United States inspectors of steam
vessels, headed by Captain w. E.
Whitney, heard through witnesses of
the conditions under which the sub
marine, slipping out OF the harbor in
the darkness so that she might sub
merge in neutral waters before day
break, ran down the tug which was
acting as her protector off Racerock,
just outside this port. The testimony
came from Captain Paul Koenig of
the Deutschland; from f. w. Krapohl,
his chief officer, and from Hans
Kleese, his chief engineer. 1t was
given in secret, but it became known
through statements outside the cham
h9r that the collision was an accident
Survivors who would discuss the
matter were agreed that it was due to
combination of swift current which
carried the tug off its course and
across the bow of the submarine, and
to the semi-darkness, which was to be
the Deutschland's medium of safety,
but which instead prevented ready OBJ
servation of the danger ahead. Cap
tain Koenig would say only to ques-
toners:

good men, feel it deeply. You must

nature and have endeavored to the best
of their ability to try to find a new way
out for art.
The thinkers among the people Of the
stage have come to the same conclusion.
They have also seen the vanity of trying
to compete realistically with the movie
man. The movie man in one play and
with comparatively little trouble and ex.
pense can use fifty settings directly out OF
nature which will be exactly nature her
self The best the stage people can do is
to use say half dozen sets, which will
be expensive, which will only initiate ma
ture and which will in the end be no
where near nature.
1t is for these reasons that the stage
and to seek the imaginative and poetic
play. Likewise for the same reasons it is
giving up the realistic stage settings for
drapes, screens and stage settings that
will have imagination and poetry in them
instead of realism and which will suggest
moods and scenes instead of trying real
istically to depict them.
Muensterberg points out that the
photoplay has an original task in offering
an art Of it's own different from that of
the theater and that it will be the more
valuable in the proportion it endeavors
to keep away from imitation of the the
ater. The first step it made away from
the theater was in lightning change OF
scene, something that no stage manager
the way it began artistically to develop
its plot by permitting the eye to follow
the character of the play continuously
from place to place-something again
which the stage cannot do.
The Washington herald., 1916-01-16

The quick change of background Is an
other advantage that Muensterberg points
out as lying with the photoplay The
performance of actions which cannot be
carried out in nature at all is another
advantage
Perhaps the most startling possibility
he finds in the movies is in the "close
up" or that technical method which per-
mits some single part or action Of play,
such as hand holding a dagger. TO be
increased in size to the full dimensions
of the screen. Here again the stage can
not follow. He points to IL as a great
esthetic line of demarcation between the
two.
Another great possibility that has
scarcely been touched upon, he asserts,
is the way in which a film expresses emo
tion and points out this example:
violinist is playing one piece after an.
other and without hearing single tone
the movie audience will be able to under
stand the emotions the music is produe-
ing by having the surroundings of the vio-
linist take on weird, CHASTITY, soothing or
beautiful forms. 1t is the art of the future,
Muensterberg maintains, and the psychol-
ogist, the artist and the camera man to-
gether are going to develop it.
When Columbia decided to include the
teaching of film play writing in its
courses it was in response to demands
from two sources. One was from students
who wanted to write plays and the other
from managing editors of film companies
who were getting tired of hackneyed plots
hastily and unintelligently put together.
1t seems that for long time they
have been wanting really new plots or
else old ones with a new twist. They
The Washington herald., 1916-01-16

And the farther the movies get away
trom Initiating the stage the more they
are attracting the artists and professors.
There were some artists and professors
who. saw from the first that the movies
had signed the death warrant to realism,
or a direct representation of nature in art
and on the stage.
What is the use" said these artists,
"of our working days and days, and even
scene, either a landscape subject OF of
persons in action directly from nature
when the movie man can come along with
a camera and do in a few seconds what
takes US hours?
The best we can do with storm sub
Jsct on the sea. for instance, is to fix on
canvas just one single moment of the
storm. No matter how hard we try to
give 1t life the waves and clouds are al
ways stationary. The movie man with no
trouble at all can catch and reproduce
the whole thing. Why should we try to
chance in the world of doing the thing
near so well as he has? And another
thing. The harder we try to make wave
look like real water and to give it real
motion the longer It takes us, the less the
wave looks like real wave, and the less
does our picture resemble work of art"
In this way at least the movies may be
said to be the father of such modern arts
as Cuoism, Neutrality-suspicious. and Fu-
turism. These ism" painters are not
for the most part as crazy as the world
believes them to be. They are Gubists
and Futurists because they have quickly
seen the hopelessness Of their trying to
snmpsts with the camera in rendering
