 |S BORN PLAYMATE

Some men are born playwrights. some men achieve playwriting, and some have playwriting thrust upon them. Harvey O'Higgins, the cola borator with Harriet Ford in "The happy Stranger" q new comedy In which B. C. Whitney is presenting William H. Crane at the Elks theateI two nights. Friday and Saturday, May and with Saturday matinee.
 He had playwriting thrust upon him.
 Mr. O'Higgins is quiet Irishman with a sense of humor and gift for writing the English language who broke into literature some time ago, quite in high-brow fashion, with stories in the Century and such, and a prize story in Golfers that set the critics talking, and a story that set tied a railroad strike up in the north west, and a story that had lot to do with prison reform out in Colorado and got into book covers afterward, (Silent Sam) and MT. O Higgins be- lieved, in his quiet inoffensive way, that he had plenty to do without think ing about the theater.
 He told that to Miss Harriet Ford. the playwright, who, in the interests of a theatrical manager went to Colorado where he was busy with the articles on Detective Burns. then in course of publication in McClure's, to persuade Mir O'Higgins to write a detective nlay.
 We talked it over,"' related Miss Ford, "and I told him that at least he should consider what a good play his Detective Burns would make, and, Of course, before we were through we had mapped out a scenario. But I couldn't write a play he said, as if that ended it. But it didn't. l took the Mr LV,-lo ;4 ha scenario of The Argyle Case" And he bought the play in scenario. When I went back to Mir. O'Higgins, "The play is sold" said I. Now we will have to write it,
 MT. O'Higgins and Miss Ford have been collaborating ever since, and "The Happy Stranger" their latest product, they declare was written in four week., an act q week.

the penalties, the dangers and the suf- fering, that inevitable result to those who stray from the path of innocence and virtue to follow the false glitter of the white lights. It is entirely differ ent from anything of this kind that has been staged before, in that it is put out purely as an illustration and preach ment against the temptation that many young uninformed girls are constantly meeting, and pointing out to them the horrible result that is bound to follow, if they be weak enough to give away to that temptation.

PEACH EXPERIMENTS BRING
 RESULTS.

The Wilbraham- Hampden peach ex- pertinent, conducted comparatively by the Massachusetts experiment station and the Hampden county improvement league through four sub temperature stations located in Hampden and five in Wilbraham, are beginning to show some definite conclusions. Dr. J. K Shaw has written the league the fol- lowing: You may be interested to know that on comparing my notes that I took on blossoming of peach trees with the topogra phical man, l find that on the Wibraham side the line between blossoms and no bos soms runs very closely along the line of $50 feet elevation. Over in the Hampden valley 1t is about 400 feet. I was somewhat surprised to discover that all the orchards in bloom which I saw up the back road were over E50 feet in eleva ton. This is considerab bly lower than the bloom was last year. but it has been rather remarkable both years how closely it has followed a given elevation through the whole of either region. I think we will get further interesting facts if we keep on with this work"

GERMAN VICTORY !
DEATH OIL LIBERTY.
Allied Socialists Reafirm
Their Belief In Necessity
of Winning War u

Paris, Sept, "A declaration sign
ed by the Belgian, British, French,
Greek and Italian Representatives at
the recent Socialist conference in
London where, Il is declared, the So
eiaIists OF the allied countries re-
affirmed their faith in the principles
proclaimed at their first reunion, is
published by 'Humanite, the Socialist
organ,
The European conflict, says the
declaration. began through the an
tagonism of the capitalistic group,
through imperiaiistic policies and the
deliberate aggression of Germany to-
ward its neighbors. This aggression,
IL is asserted, still menaces the exist
ence of nationalities and faith in in
ternational treaties More than ever,
continues the declaration, the Social
lists, after three years OF war, believe
that the victory OF German imperial
ism would spell defeat and the elm
ination Of democracy and liberty from
the world.
1t is to combat definitely this evil
influence of Imperialism, the docu-
ment proceeds, that the allied nations
must pursue vigorously their military
efforts and show clearly what are
their war aims and their peace con-
ditions, for a staple peace must be
founded upon this right. The Social
lists find the best guarantee of this
kind of peace is the principles AFFIRM
ed by the Russian Fevolutionists with
certain exceptions, however, namely
that peace without contributions
must not exclude just Feparation fol

FOUGHT FOR LOWER PRICE

Fixing Body, Home.

DR.. z. F. Ladd. president OF the
Agricultural college, who returned
Sunday from Washington where he
was a member Of the wheat price
fixing commission, declares that the
representatives Of organized labor,
and representatives Of consumers
generally, made hard fight to keep
the price Of wheat below the 81 mark
In fact, they held out for S1.s5 as
their absolute maximum.
DR.. Ladd gives the farmers and
business men of the northwest credit
for the fact that the commission was
finally brought to the point OF grant
ing the $2.20 maximum.
DR.. Ladd is hopeful that the gov
eminent fixed price for wheat will
make it possible to produce a 5 cent
loaf Of l4-ounces OF bread.
The whole burden of the fight for
lower wheat prices was that Of re-
ducing the -four and bread cost, and
union labor exerted q powerful in
fiuence to that end.

PRISONERS HAVE NO
RIGHTS IN GERMANY
Are Exposed To Shell Fire and Gas
Attacks Without Even Pro-
lection Of Masks.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept 3.-Further evil
dence Of the disregard of the Ger
mans for the rights of prisoners of
war and of subjugated peoples has
reached the state department in the
story Of an escaped Belgian.
Exposed to shell fire and gas at
tacks and unproVided with protec-
tive masks, the enslayed natives are
being compelled to work just behind
the German lighting lines, he as
serted, where the insanitary condi-
tions brought disease to those who
escaped death or injury incident to
battle.
Because relatives Of the fugitives
are yet within the acquired German
territory the state department has
eliminated from its report all names
Of individuals and the localities.
1T was no use trying to protest"
one Of them is reported as saying
"It only meant more trouble and
misery-prison and blows. The Ger
resist. They have made a rule to
send to Germany any man or woman
who gets more than three months
Imprisonment, and none of those
who have been deported has come
back after his time. Six months ago
one Of my neighbors, a widow, who
had to protect her daughter against
German officer, received four
months for having said on this oeca-
sion that all Germans were pigs. She
was sent TO Germany and we have
heard since that she is obliged to
work in a kommando and has no
hope of returning before the end OF
the war, This is only a case among
a hundred, the German tribunals
have provided many thousand work
ers for the Fatherland."
