Tempted to Re n RosaIind.

Margaret Wycherley is back from
eight weeks of The Thirteenth Chair"
IN Australia. and is about to make an
experiment in shake speare. At least she
thinks she is. But not until Miss Wych-
erley is announced to play Rosdlind in
New York theatre will the matter he
settled definitely.
IT'S this way" said Miss Wycherley
10 THE Sun reporter. II have always
had great success as RosdIind--chief1y
because ] never played the part 1t was
the same sort OF a success that Otis Skin
ner had in 'Chantecleer' Everybody said
how great he would have been in the
roN. Whenever I play in The Hour
'ilsss' critics are always kind enough TO
say that I would be a perfect RosdIind
So | regard myself as already having
made a success in the part. But l am

ment"

'CRISPINO' DELIGHTS
AGAIN AT OPERA
Lively Old Comic Opera Is
Given Another Excellent
Presentation.
SCOTTI IN TITLE ROLE
Freda Hempel Sings Music of
Annetta With Grace
and Distinction.

"Crispino e la Comare' was repeated
IN the Metropolitan Opera House last
evening. The lively opera buffa of tho
Ricci brothers was heard for the second
time and by an audience which
could not be inundated by the rain. The
weather may have been wet outside. but
inside all was bright and sunny, for this
old comic opera ripples along from be-
ginning to end with unfiagging merri-
ments
The presentation Is one OF the most
successful OF the current season at. the
Metropolitan. Antonio Scott sang the
role OF Crispino at the first performance
for the first time on any stage. but with
a freedom and spontaneity apparently
born of long custom. 1t is needless to
say that ne was just as admirable last
evening; while Nine. Hempel again sang
the music Of Annetfd charmingly and
acted with grace and humor. The other
members of the cast again did well what
they had done we'll before.

seat of government the little nations
first thought was to express her graft
tude TO the Commission for Relief in
Belgium for preserving the lives OF
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food TO meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true OF
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries--Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia is already In the
throes OF famine, and 40,000000 people
there are beyond the possibility OF
help. Before another spring thou
sands OF them Inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re

gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order TO fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every Ton OF food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
thesvery least a minimum of 20000,000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and l1,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties OF war to the European
allies.
If we fail TO lighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions TO become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine Should this
happen we viii see IN other parts of
Europe a repetition Of the Russian de
bacle and our fsht for world peacf
will have been In Vain.

A food map OF Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
tuYe does not hold threat OF serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies TO meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
muated on the farms, there is famine
in tie large centers Of population.
'Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
tion from the other nationslto the peo-
ple OF the United States America has
for four years maintained the small

strongest appeal for us TO continue our

WHY BUTTER is so HIGH.

One of the causes for the high
price of butter is disclosed in the re-
port of the state dairy commissioner
who finds reduced production in
Iowa creameries of 10000, 600
pounds for the past year.
Until the last and recent raise in
market price of butter it has been
less profitable to feed COWS than to
sell the grain and countrywide move
mant to sell out has been started
among dairymen.
At present prices of butter farmers
can afford to milk cows again and
the demobilazation of the army which
relieves the acute labor shortage on
the farms will make it possible for
many farmers to return to dairying
but the prospects for urban popula-
tions is for high prices for butter
for some time to come.
Before the world war the United
States received from foreign count
ries more dairy products than it
shipped abroad. We were in fact
renting many millions of cows from
other countries in the COW products
we bought. Since the war destroyed
dairy herds and dairy industry
abroad Europe is now using the pro-
ducts from ten times as many of our
cows as we were using of other ma
lions cows before the war. This re-
versal of demand shold have inuated
butter prices more than it did but
versal of demand should have inflated
the price OF grains until dairymep
in this country discovered more pro-
fit in selling grains at war prices
than in milking cows at war prices.
Butter prices today offer a profit
in milking. Farmers should stop
their rush to close out. Decreased
production and abnormal demand
will keep butter prices up. Europe
can restore its supply Of grain before
it can restore it's dairy herds. There
will be a time in the immediate
future when grain goes down and
the milking of cows becomes more
profitable than it ever was before

Military Matters Uncertain.
Military legislation will, in a large
measure depend upon the action
taken by congress in it's coming SEES
sion relative to the establishing. Of
United States military power on a
peace basis, and may, therefore, be
little touched upon by the Iowa body.
The sentiment of members, as a
whole, seems to be against any en-
tensive building operations,
Demand Higher Pay.
Increased salaries are demanded
by state employees at all state insti-
buttons and by many OF those at the
state house. Increased per capita al
lowances will also be asked to meet
the high cost of living at various
state institutions.
Some agitation has already be-
""n Cor the rassage of laws prohibit
ing the teaching of any language
oInel Than Engnsh in either public
or parochial schools of lower grade
than high schools. If this legislation
is pushed to merry squabble is
promised, but so far not a single
member of the Legislature has public
ly announced his intention of intro
ducing such measure. A very large
majority of the members questioned
seem to regard the foreign language
question as a good one to let alone.
Governor Harding will be looked to
20 sound the keynote on this subject
TO the legislator.
Iowa farmer organizations will
be powerful III the session, although
the much talked OF Nonpartisan
League is not openly making a cam
paign for any legislation in this
state. There are a number OF other
organizations, including the Tax
payers league, Society OF Equity,
and allied farm movements, which,
.exerted an important influence in
the selection Of many members OF
the assembly, especially house mem
DeTs, and their combined strength
will not be known until after the
session begins. Some of the wise ones
predict that they will come very close
to controlling the house, and if So,
the situation will be a very ticklish

COLE TO Be
NEXT SPEAKER

The gathering clans at Denver are
starting we'll at least for winter of
good work in legislation.
Allyn Cole OF Lamar was selected
for speaker by unanimous vote.
Hugh Steele OF Denver had the sup
port OF the Denver delegation as a
complimenlarg matter. but Steele
himself voted for Cole, the latter vot-
ing for Steele.
Cole was a member Of the last leg
islature and at the beginning an un-
known quantity. He is boyish In ap-
pearance and your first impression
would be that he was too young for
such responsible position. but it on
~ took few days of the session to
show that he was quick to see and
quick to act. his mind seeming TO
travel straight to right conclusions
before others grasped the problem s
meaning. He did not speak often,
and never to air his knowledge. II
there was some doubt about some
matter up for consideration, mem-
bers were glad to see the boyish figure
from Lamar rise in his seat. for they
knew that there would be frank,
plain statement, OF what Cole under
stood to be the object and meaning
OF the thing under consideration. He
seldom took five MINUTES at time,
but said more that was vital than a
good many would say in couple
