Its like this" says Cabanne.
Motion picture actors and actress
es work so hard that sometimes the
germ OF work in them gets all
tagged out and falls asleep. The
best thing to arouse that germ and
put it back on the job is 'rag-time'
music.
Il keep a good piano in the Quail
ity studio. When the actors be-
come listless l sit down and begin
plunking out 'rag-time.' Presto! The
work germ awakes, begins dancing,
and the person in whom said germ
lives becomes active. If you don't
believe what / say just try it on
your piano some time when you are
tired. These efficiency experts ought
to inject 'rag-time' music into their
theories"

THE FALL OF BAGDAD.

The capture OF Bagdad is the first
really important victory achieved by
the British since the outbreak of the
war Our cousins are slow but they
arrive in the course OF time. va.
The chief Importance of the ac-
complishment lies in the fact that it
puts an end to Germany's dream of
Asiatic Empire. 1t also marks the
beginning of the end for Turkey. There
will be no Berlin to BagGad' rail-
way. Neither will there be a Petro-
grad to Bagdad lire of communication.
John Bull is a valuable ally, but he
always looks out for the main chance.
He beat the Bear in the race. Con-
stantinople can now. be awarded to
Russia with much better grace.
Most of US have obtained our knowl-
edge of Bagdad from the Arabian
Nights" and of Jerusalem from the
Scriptures; so it is hard to realize that
great modern armies are in one and
marching on the other of those an
cient cities. Bagdad still contains the
tomb of zobeide, the most beloved wife
of Harouo al-Raschid, but the Palace
city was found by Almanzor, A. D.,
1853. The Caliph up-al-Raschid
enlarged it, adorned it, and converted
it into a metropolis of learning and
art. 1t continued as such until 1858,
when it was captured by the Mongols,
and Mostasem, the last of the caliphs,
was put to death
Bagdad then suffered from a long
period of disorder and war 1t fell
under control of a Persian dynasty in
1916. For many years Persians and
Turks contested for possession of the
city. and in that time Bagdad under
went sieges and massacres. If the
city is destined to become a perma-
nent possession of the British, it will
probably change from a mean but pic
turesque Oriental city into a flourish
ing commercial center. Which, of
course, would please everybody except
the Turks and a few sentimentalists
who like to think of the city as it
was when the greatest of the caliphs
roomed incognito about it's streets.

The farmers of the cities OF Ran
sas who assembled in Topeka IN an
swer to the call of the governor
doubtless are actuated by the best OF
motives. That high prices are IN
large measure due to limited produce
ton no one will deny. In Kansas
one of the main causes of crop snort
age is lack of rain. Now, If these
gentlemen can devise some method
of increasing the precipitation they
will have taken a long step toward
solving the food problem. Give the
Sunflower state the necessary water
and she will do the rest. Other states
possibly are influenced by similar or
other climatic conditions. The coun-
try's wheat crop. which in 1915 ex-
ceeded 1,OOO,OOO,OOO bushels, was re-
duced in 1915 to about 60O,00O.00O
bushels, and the price advanced from
SO cents per bushel to nearly 81 per
bushel-the highest price in the history
of American agriculture. This increase
in price cannot be attributed wholly
to spectators or lack of effort on the
part of the producers.

GLOBE SIGHTS

You can't avoid having prejudices,
but there is no sense in betting on
them.
To one who is really sleepy, keep
ing awake looms up as the most diff

In a small town few men are suf-
their evening clothes.
Not all the billiards, however, be-
come such because of the all work
and no play schedule.
You have SO poor a memory that
you probably have forgotten the dis
tress signal of your lodge.
Some policemen are about as effec-
tive as scare-crows. We once saw
five crows sitting on scare-crow.
Many dogs are useless, but the dog
a woman carries around always seems
more useless than any of the others.
Spring always seems a little late to
the man who IS trying to make a pair
of high shoes last until he can wear
low cuts.
You may have observed that rail-
road employees who get passes have
more out of town business than
other people.
When you are gone you may be
forgotten as soon as the defeated can
didate for vice president, and that is
painfully sudden.
While this is a wicked world, no

would have the jury believe the ac-
cused man is.
