Little Women" /. cenuin. Play.

Little Women" Is Genuine Play.
Little Wohen" the play to be
produced at the Chatutauqua, is at
tracing crowded houses wherever it
appears. The Ell Paso Morning Times
said of it:
Theatergoers who We're fortunate
enough yesterday to join the throng
that Graves amusement and attended
the presentation of Louisa Alcott's
Little Women" by the Redpath
Chautauqua Company are congratu-
lating themselves today. Few per-
formances of any kind have been
presented in Ell Paso which have been
cast and more keenly deserving of
praise for splendid acting.
"Jo',' the masculine type of low
able, Independent woman, whose
writing ability supports the family of
girls, as well as philosopher father,
whose thinking doesn't bring in a
weekly pay check, is the leading
spirit of the play. Her sacrifices for
her invalid sister, Beth, and her dis
guised love for an old German pro-
fessor are the themes which bring
the home play into a successful eli
Hldh. L HC pdII VI IHC piOlCooOI was
admirably handled. Even in these
days, when German types and words
are not calculated to bring forth
hurrahs, the delineation of charac-
ter and remarkable accuracy of in
Election brought to the mind, the
superb acting of David Warwick or
Lewis Mann.
"Little Women" is almost as plot
less as a musical comedy, but there
is an intensity of interest and
genuineness of humanity about it
that makes strong appeal. 1t is
one of those extremely wholesome
plays such as William A. Brady
seeks that makes it succeed. And in
these days Of Theda Baras and Louis
CLAIMS and revivals of forgotten
it is fortunate that
really worthwhile ideas and ideals
have strong heart appeal.

Appeal For Seed Wheat Fund.

An appeal went to all the banks
in Kansas Thursday for subscriptions
to the fund for seed wheat. The ap-
peal was signed by T. B. Kennedy,
president of the Kansas Bankers
association, junction City, and w.
w. Bowman, Topeka, secretary. For
the Kansas State Bankers, I. j.
Sweeney, president, Lawrence, and
appeal. Also State Bank Commits
sioner Walter E. Wilson Endorsed the
appeal which follows:
The council of defense of this
state is making an urgent appeal for
subscriptions to the seed wheat fund.
You have received letters from the
council in regard to this matter be-
fore, and as the Tina is drawing near,
we would urgently ask you to con-
slider this matter in the most favor
able light.
1t has been suggested by the coun-
ell that the banks subscribe to this
fund as literally as possible, and that
they would like to secure from each
bank an amount equal to l per cent
of its capital as loan to this fund.
The council of defense would issueits
note to your bank, payable on Nov
ember /, 1918, out of the crop share
fund provided by the council, and
this note may be carried as an asset
of your bank until its maturity
The council has already received
calls for more than 100000 bushsels
of seed wheat under this plan. Good
rains have fallen over most of the
wheat belt, and the land never was
in better condition, or better pre-
pared than now. The average weld
per acre on the entire area planted
for the last fourteen years in the
counties where this seed will be sown
is little more than eight bushels.
One-fifth of the average yield is six,
and two-fifths pecks. 1t requires less
than three pecks to sow an acre, thus
the average return would have been
more than two for one. In twenty
years, there has not been one poor
wheat crop following another in this
region.
Similar appeals are being made by
the council of defense to the rail
roads. implement dealers, mills and
elevators and grain men and all 9th
ers who are patriotically interested
in the welfare of our state, country
and allies.
As the DAYS are few for sowing of
tN;s fall crop. it is urgent that YOUR
substitution he sent to w. z. Wilson.
bank commissioner as trustees.

The Musical Marvels of the ..Chau-
tauuua.

The Altheo players comprises the
greatest sextette of lay musicians
and entertainers ever BROUGHT togeth-
err. For several years The Beasey
Sisters alone have been charming
and thoroughly delghting Lyceum
audiences and their numbers alone
are worthy of prominent place on
any Chautauqua proram.
The unanimous praise of the crit
tics and a success of artists triumphs
have placed Mayflower and Violet
Beasey in the foremost ranks of con-
cert artists. The New ORLEANS Daily
Picayune recently said of them :
''The tumutuous applause bestowed
upon the Beasey Sisters after their
singing and magnetic violin playing
was acknowledged with a simplicity
that was charming" The Misses
Beasey are marvels in versatility.
Blessed with magnetic personality
and with exuberance of youthful
enthusiasm they captivate the hearts
of their audiences with original and
thrilling numbers Of music, song and
story.
The New York Sun said "Mayflow-
eer Beasey's impassioned violin play
ing stirred and swayed the emotions
! of her audience" The New York
Globe said "The quaint stories and
pianologues of Violet Beasey made q
great hit"

AMERICAN FARMER
MAY DECIDE WAR
BY CLIFFORD PINcHor

WASHINGTON, May I5.-In this
great time, when every citizen must
do his part, the president has made
his chief appeal to the men who live
on the land. He Is right in doing so,
for the safety of our country Just now
is in the hands of our farmers. What
| mean is not merely our safety and
the safety of our allies in the matter
of food. mean that the safety of
the United States against foreign in
vasion hangs on the decision of the
farmers of the forty-eight states.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France-the war against star
walton will be won or lost in America.
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and the English armies and the Eng
lish navy while England has food.
But it is still possible that the Ger
man submarines may be able to keep
food enough from reaching England
to starve her into submission.
If the submarines win, the first
item in the kaiser's terms of peace
will be the English fleet. With the
English fleet in his possession, the
kaiser will be master OF the world.
What will happen to us then?
Every man who stops to think knows
the answer. We shall have money,
! 10 hot &c
desirable in the world, except the
power to protect what we have. Elk
perts estimate it will take us nine
months to get ready to meet a Ger
man army or even 100000 men with
modern artillery. Under such cir
cumstances, would the Germans treat
us better than they have already
treated Belgium and France?
Even if the armies or our allies
should crush the German military
power this summer, before the short,
J age of food can reach the point oil
want, the world would still need vast
} quantities of American food. But II
} they do not, only one course car
make us safe, and that is to grow
food enough on our farms for our
selves and our allies. and to put ships
enough on the sea to carry the food
! in spite of the submarines, to the
: men who are fighting our fight.
| If the war lasts beyond this sum
. mer, IL will be the American farmer
! who will win or lose the war, who
will overcome militarism and auto
/ crazy, or allow them to spread and
control the world, ourselves included
: 1t is true that we can greatly in
: crease the available food supply out
of grain now used in making liquors
: and by reducing household waste. But
when these two things are done ant
: done thoroughly, they will not bt
enough. The final decision will res
) in the hands of the men who raise ou
I food in the first place.
!. The clear duty OF the nation is I,
n guarantee the farmers fair pric
I for their crops when grown, and
i reasonable supply of labor at har
g vest. The clear duty of the farme
a is to raise food enough to win thi
!. war for democracy against kaiserism
