been wagered on the outcome, and as a

Experiment Station Notes

From information just received
from Washington, the Fort Hays Ex-
pertinent Station has been selected as
one of the eleven stations in the Unit
ed States where grass gardens are to
be esta blished.
The plan calls for tract of land
large enough to accommodate six hun
dred species of grasses. AS far as
possible the grasses will be arranged
by tribes and Systematically number
ed. 1t is estimated that there are ap-
proximately 975 of native and extern
sively introduced grasses in the Unit
ed States. Grass seed and living grass
specimens will be sent in as rapidly as
field men and specially employed col
lectors can secure them.
The object of. establishing a grass
garden at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station is to make a further study of
certain diseases of cereals such, fol
example as the rusts, scab, anthrac-
nose, ETC., of our native and economic
grasses. 1t is also desirable to study

out their botanical relationships wher-
ever these latter have not been clear
~ established.
The work at the Fort Hays Expert
ment Station will be under the super
vision of A. F. Swanson and R. E
Getty.

Cereal and Forage Projects of the

Helen Van Hoose Tells of Impressive
CIimaxes in the Famous Mys-
tery-Drama
The three things that contribute
most to the success on the stage are
intelligence, temperament and hard
work. Of these three, hard work is
the most essential Such is the opin-
ion of Helen Van Hoose who appears
as Madame La Grange in the 18TH
CHAIR"
Miss Van Hoose knows whereof
she speaks, for, though born actress,
she has risen to prominence in her
chosen calling, because she has taken
her work seriously. Her persever-
ance has enabled her to develop her a
versatility seldom equaled on the plat
form.
''The true actress" said Van Hoose,
sis the one who can forget self and
make every movement and word an
Interpretation of the part she plays. F"
When asked what she considered
to be her greatest Interpretation, she
quickly answered.
cit is in the 18TH CHAIR" in
which l am praying to save my daugh-
ter. always put myself in the posi-
ton and actually experience the feel
ings of a mother who is praying to
save her child.
''The mothers prayer which is an
swered by the discovery of the knife
and the real murderer, is cross sec
ton from life, exemplifying one of
the great truths of Christianity"
Miss Van Hoose is the daughter of
a Baptist minister. She never has
lost sight of her early teachings, and
is very much interested in all kinds
of church work.
A Broadway favorite for years, she
is now playing the part in which she
made her reputation as only a great
artist can play it, and newspapers and
the general public are hailing her as
one of the stars of the splendid all
star cast of the Horner production.
