several months at the Manhattan Opera
House, New York. is to be transferred
to the New National Theater next week,

example of what can be achieved In
startling stage realism. Twenty horses
tear like mad within the narrow bounds
of the stage-and these are living ami

Messala's chariot wheel and Ben-Hur' s
victory is presented with surprising
realism.

TO the Maryland Gamer.

From the report Of the Committee
of the Tin Plate which met in confer
ence at the Department of Commerce
Washington, D. c., May 1st, the fol-
lowing recommendations were endors-
ed by the Secretary of Agriculture and
Secretary of Commerce:
ITO the Farmers-That they CO.
operate with the Gamers of the coun-
try in the effort to permit no falling
off in acreage planted to cannery
crops, and that they recognize fully
the vast numbers of the population of
the United States and Of the world
that have become dependent on the
food supply conserved yearly In tin
containers"
ITO the Canners-Whether buying
cans from can makers or making them
for their own use, that it shall be their
patriotic duty, until an accumulation
of a sufficient supply of cans to care
for the perishable crops shall be ap-
parent, to abstain from packing nom
perishable foods"
You are earnestly requested to
show each one of your growers the
clause addressed to the farmers, and
in addition to this, see that every
county paper in your vicinity publish
a copy of same. so that the farmers
and growers will clearly understand
that it is their patriotic duty to furnish
the Gamer with all products possible
for them to grow as future require
ments will undoubtedly necessitate
supreme effort on the part of the
grower and Gamer.

The Greatest Horse Trader I'm The
World,

Since the European war began,
says a writer in the June American
Magazine. "Jo Nugent of St. Louis and
Des MOines, has sold approximately
one hundred thousand horses, the
worlds biggest order for horse-flesh,
and he has built up the worlds greatest
horse market to supply the Allied
Nations demands for horses. His bus
mess with the foreign Governments
has tOtaled more than 100000 a
month for the last fifteen months, and
the orders on hand, and others reput-
ed coming, will keep him busy. His
daily income is said to be one of the
most successful of the many war
babies which are making scores of
new millionaires in America. In view
of the fact that Nugent has easily
cleared over 100000, his earning
capacity has become one Of the seven
wonders of his profession.
'Nugent can tell at a glance wheth-
Ell an animal submitted for sale is SER
Viceable for the cavalry or gun run
ming service in Europe, no matter
how much of the smell Of the soil
there may be about pillow horse.
And if you ask Nugent why ne has
been g Successful he will tell you il
is because he knows horses better
than anyone else in the world. 1t is
not ccnceit that makes him say this
but The Nugent system which is:
Know one thing better .han all
the world and you can't fail

What Are You Doing To Keep Your
Boy On The Farm!

Give him COW and a calf, hog or
a few chickens. Let him make some
thing for himself and then let him use
what he makes. Take him into your
confidence, tell him of your plans, and
he will repay you by unfolding to you
his own plans and ambitions Are you
merely the old man." or are you your
boys partner and adviser?
This does not mean that no dis
cipline is to be exercised. The word
discipline" is misunderstood by many
people 1t is not merely the frequent
use of the rod. Don't make your boy
fear you, but respect and honor you.
Be firm but not unkind.
Don't try to fool him. A boys
sense of injustice is very great. If
you promise him a pig and then sell
the pig he will become suspicious
II you make him work for nothing you
will find that he will begin to dread
work.
Don't make him work all through
the long summer days without any
form Of pleasure or recreation. Give
him at least part Of Saturday after.
noon for playing baseball. Let him
go on a picnic or fishing trip with
other boys and go with him yourself
Be his companion as we'll as part

JACK FROST PROVED POWER
Impressive Spectacle When Fifty Tons
OF Rock, LOOSened by Cold, Fell "a
Thousand Feet.

Delicate frost tracings on the win
dow-panes seem to be the work Of fan
ciful and harmless sportiVeness, but
the hand that forms them is capable OF
greater deeds and other kinds.
An official of the geological survey
tells of an experience that must have
been wonderfully impressive to the
spectator. He had been spending some
weeks in exploring the Yosemite Val
ley and the great rocks" like Ell
Captain" that wall it in.
Standing one day of late autumn
about the middle OF the valley, he was
startled by report like cannon-shot,
which filled the whole valley with
echoes that roared and doomed, re-
piled and multiplied, in a lOng-cOn-
tinued, glorious tumuIt
AS the deafening sound died away
in sullen mutterings under the vizOr
of Ell Captain, the spectator was able
to distinguish the point Of attack by
the long, Gathering descent of a vast
quantity of rock.
The night had been a cold one in the
valley, and on the 1000 and 5000 foot
levels of the upper rim the tempera-
ture must have dropped almost to
zero.
Frost, working quietly with his
Archimedean lever. had just succeeded
in shifting from the shoulder of the
Sentinel, trife of 30 tons or so of
granite. For near a thousand feet the
bOWlder fell sheer, swift and silent;
then striking the cliff, it burst like a
bomb, scattered into Il myriad flying
shards and splinters, and dislodged
smother of fragments that trickIed
down to the valley in a stream that
lasted for minutes.
Then from the spot where the bowl
der had struck, dust began to rise into
the sunny air, slowly building up like
a summer cloud and every bit as
snowy. 1t was the flour Of granite,
powdered instantaneously by the ter
rife shock
