Sothern's Tribute to Frohman

From my Remembrances. by E. H.
Sothern, in Scribners.
why fear death? Death is only a
beautiful adventure"
Thus spoke Charles Frohman as he
stood with three other passengers, his
arms locked in theirs, upon the slanting
deck of the Lusitana as she sank Off the
coast of Ireland. At 2:30 p m. on May
the 7th, 1915, the vessel was torpedoed
by German submarine. Mr.. Frohman
could have had no hope of escape. He
was probably wounded by the explosion,
and one of his legs was permanently dis
abled from illness. He could not walk
without the help of a cane.
At such a crisis a mans soul speaks,
and Charles F'rohman's words illuminate
his life and shed a radiance upon his
death. God grant We may greet the I'M
evitable hour in such wise when it shall
strike for us! A man who can speak
thus at such moment can need no other
epitaph.
When Charles and Daniel F'rohman en-
tered upon their careers as managers the
business of the theatre was frequently
conducted on haphazard plan. If VEN
ture succeeded all went well. In the
event of failure the actors very often
suffered loss. Any irresponsible person
could take out a play and obtain time
in various theatres l have myself been
victim Of such adventures. Owing
greatly to the Frohman faculty for or
ganization and fair dealing, theatrical
affairs were soon conducted on a sounder
business basis. The Frohman word was
as good as a bond 70 any man. This
was Charles Frohman's especially pride.
1t has been the custom in certain quar-
tors to exclaim against Mr.. Frohmans
"commercialism' in the conduct of his
business This abuse is quite nonsensical
and unfair. The amusement loving pub
lie demands many kinds Of entertainment
1t can be said of Charles F'rohman that
he never on any single occasion offered
anything below the standard of cleanli-
ness and good manners and that, on the
other hand, he provided his patrons with
the very best plays by the very best
dramatists of his time, interpreted by the
most capable actors procurable. The sal
aries of players and the royalties of play
wrights increased by leaps and bounds
under his generous direction. for he was
ever ready to pay for the best.

curity to pledge. In Germany the farm
er who wants money for his business
joins an agricultural credit association
and applies for a loan. Skilled agricui-
turists investigate his methods and his
standing in his district, and IL he has n
good reputation as an honest man and
a good farmer he gets the money. The
result is twofold. The good farmer gets
the capital he needs for improving his
farm and he is encouraged to improve
his methods and gain a reputation as q
sklful farmer and business man be-
cause in that way only can be obtained
the necessary credit Cooperation in
buying and selling is also highly develop
ed along fairly familiar lines, and it is
also unnecessary to do more than refer
to the section of the report dealing with
the high standard of scientific agricul-
tural education in Germany.
America as a tariff country will be in
terested in what Mr.. Middleton, an Of
fetal of free trade government, says
about Germanys system of agricultural
protection 1t is as follows:
ARGUMENT FOR TARIFF
IAN unprejudiced outsider must admit
that the balance of evidence from Ger
many supports the advocates of tariffs.
German economic policy in recent years
has favored agricu1turists, who have ben
Gifted partly by the higher prices result
ing from tariffs and partly from the
steadying effect which the known policy
of the state has had upon the industry"
Mr.. Middleton points out that much
OF the decline of British farming is due
to the policy of laying down arabic land
to grass, and that this is due to the
lack of state aid in this country. He
sums up his conclusions as follows:
THE clear lesson which we may learn,
If we wish to learn, from German expert
ence Is that If we desire to make any
considerable addition to our nome grown
supplies of food we must as nation adopt
the old farming motto speed the plow.'
IF grass land must be broken up so
that more food may be grown it will be
necessary to prepare against the cycles
of bad seasons (Which will certainly
Gomez by measures calculated to main
tain or increase prices in lean years, and
by some scheme which, when the neces-
sity arises, will ensure that distressed
farmers can secure credit
UNLESS the people of Britain are pre-
pared to face the certainty that such
periods will arise and are prepared to
say to farmers, IF you grow more food
we shall see you through the lean years.
it is difficult to discover how the farm
ing capital required by Arbe land is to
be provided 1t was not the tariff, but
the policy of which the tariff was an
expression that vitalized German agri-
culture, and IL the German farmer had
not been assured % years ago that the
ma ton was behind him Germany could
not now have maintained her people for

sILAaE FATTENs % COWS
FOR MARKET IN 100 DAYS


J. w. Van Page, early last January
entered into contract with W. IL.
Patnod, a farmer on Ash mesa, to have
the latter feed 23 head of range COWS
for the period of 100 days on bal
ancen' diet of silage and hay. The 100
days are up and the cows were brought
to the local stockyards on Monday. y
wonderful improvement in the condi-
tion and appearance of the stock is ap-
parent. When they were taken to Ash
mesa, they were lean and scrawney
looking and averaged but s76 pounds
in weight. When weighed Monday
their average was 1882 lbs, gain of
306 pounds apiece in little over three
months.
They were given rs pounds of silags,
and 10 pounds of hay day during tie
time OF the test. Every cow, with the
exception of two Of the heifers, were in
prime condition, and Mr.. Page says the
fattened cows will all produce tender
and finely grained meat. They will be
fed on beef pulp for while longer
and then slaughtered for the custome.i
Of the Page Market & Grocery com
pany, conducted by Van Page and L
n, Moody. u 4f
Mr.. Page is so elated over the i'm.
provement Of the herd of cows fattened
by the above method that he intends
to select an even better grade of stock,
both COWS and steers, and place about
fifty on silsge feed next winter. The
heifers, he has found out, do not thrive
quite so well, or relish the silage Of
much as the older beeves.-Montrose

DEBT MUST NEVER
BE FORGOTTEN

The American people have been pa
triotic beyond the example of other
nations in providing for those who left
home and all its comforts, business AMI
all its prospects, life and all its ambi-
tions, to fight for the flag, for the
Constitution and the Union. This is as
it should be, and until the last MAJ
who "fought that good fight" is laid
away in mother earth forever, we hope
the American people will never forget
for moment the debt they owe to the
valor and endurance of those who
fought the nations battles in those
days now growing dim even in memory.
Their graves should be kept green with
the tears Of grateful people, and as
each Memorial day comes round in the
year, flowers, the sweetest and bright
est, should be strewn profusely over
the graves where the patriot dead lie
sleeping "the sleep that knows no
waking" on earth and in time.

COVER MANURE BOX
AND GARBAGE CAN

A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of control
ling the fly nuisance. A proper meth
cd of garbage collection and disposal IS
next in Importance. The garbage should
be drained, wrapped in paper and col
lected in fly-proof metal bucket. The
bucket should be washed at intervals
with lye soap and water and then
sponged with kerosene in water.
The foregoing advice is from the fa-
nous sanitary authority, DR.. w. A.
Evans of Chicago. In our local cam
paign we should utilize this informa-
tion to the. utmost. 1t has long been
recognized that swatting the fly would
never rid the community of his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that we must make war on him early
in the season by getting rid of his
breeding places and his natural sources
of food supply-filth.
Some of us are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies is
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum-
blers will find it less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse member of the family
through spell of typhoid fever-and
much less expensive.

ALL ARE HEROES

"Heroes are those who respond to
the nations need.'
Our nation has never asked for men
IN vain. With Spartan bravery moth
ers give their sons, wives their hus-
bands and maidens their sweethearts
when the country calls. Many of them
will never return. Others will come
back to lay their diseased and broken
frames beside the hearths of their
youth. Some as by divine protectioa a
seem to have enchanted lives and retu. n
as strong as when they left. They ali
are heroes if they have felt the thrill
OF sacrifice and never hesitated in the
