DRAMATIC SOCIETY At U.

The Dramatic Society at the
University of North Dakota, the
Sock and Buskin Society, has
made for its little playhouse, a
stage which could be duplicated in
any community. The auditorium
of Teachers College is used by
the Society for its regular meet
ings, at which scenes from plays
are presented. The original stage
of this auditorium is much too
small for practical dramatic
purposes and the Society has add
ed to it collapsible stage with
curtains and wings. which make
the production of almost any id
door plays. Such stage may be
placed i'm position i'm fifteen min
utes time and will transform any
hall into playhouse.
The Society is planning to
send out over the stage two or
three small companies of its play
erS during the University holi-
days. In towns where stage snt-
tilgS are not available. these play
cr> can play.

BACK TO the farm

III Is gratifying to learn from
real estate men in different Sec
tions of the country that there is
at last a pronounced movement
back to the farm They report
large numbers of city men of
moderate means purchasing
farms aud moving their families
to escape the burdens of the pre-
sent high cost of living.
This is commendable and all
right as far as it goes, but the
movement is not general enough.
And then it is not owners that are
needed on the farms, but workers.
For several decades past now
there has been a rapid exodus
from the farm, until in many sec
Iion of uhc country it is almost
impossible to secure farm help at
any price. This mas had the in
cvitable result of curtailing the
output of the farms, high prices
naturally resulting.
We have seen a table of statis-
tics of the per cent OF urban pop
ulation as compared to rural, at
the present time and fifty years
ago. II showed startling growth
of the cities and towns, with not
nearly an equal growth of rural
population.
But. we say, those workers who
have deserted the farms for the
city are now engaged in manu-
features. Why, then, are not
manufactured articles cheaper in
pl'ic" instead of being right up al
ong side of food stuffs?
The answer is simple, and will
have to be taken into considera-
tiOn in any scheme to lessen the
cost of living. The farm is the
barometer of the national life.
Touch the farm and you touch the
rational pulse. II matters very
little the scarcity or plenty OF
manufactured products. if the
farm is over productive the price.
fall: if the farm fails, all prices
rise i'm sympathy.
We know this is not at all ac-
crptahlr to the politician. who
would have us believe that pal't>
policies are rcsponsible-all ol
which is he vel'ics rot. as the
American people are fast finding
out.
When We as a people attack tho
farm problem in a sensible way
when we devise some plan TO re-
store to the farms of this coun-
try the valuable human brawl
that they have lOst--then and not
till the, will we be in the way oI
reducing the cost of living agair
to tn" normal.
Perhaps the movement reported
is the beginning and indicate:
that the pendulum is at last star!
ed ON its backward swing. Lei
us devouIly hope that such is tho
case.
