WALDO FRANKS
IMPORTANT NOVEL
"Fhe Dark Mother Has Life
foS Its Heroine and Also Two
Interesting Protdgonists

Waldo Frank Is one Of the most bril-
liant and stimulating of the younger
generation of American writer's. His
criticisms both Of books and Of affairs
have been keen, informed and highly
instinct with modernistic trends. His
book, "Our America is really
marvellous Interpretation of contempo-
rnneousncss in American thought,
trends, writing and outlook. and as
should be in any valid consideration Of
current Towering and fruiting digs deep
into the soil and bares the ramifications
of the roots and particularly studies the
taproots.
His fiction so far consists of THE
tnwelcome Man." which gave him
immediate prestige among serious
minded students of American litera-
ture. and THE Dark Mother" his new
and very powerful drama Of life today.

and of variedness Of locale and at

this cnse it Is the contrasts between
New York and Middle Western ana
New England customs and tempera-

plot, which is metropolitan in its scope
and sweep. have respectively mid West
and New England antecedents. One is
the lmost standardized, certainly typi-
cal, American man of action, of inces-
SAINT forwardness toward conventional
ideals OF success which are so often
callcd--and iscalled--American the

the counter actions of each to an en-
vironment that does not tit, the growth
of each on the spiritual side, and the
intcractions between themselves, their
surroundings and the people among
whom they are thrown are developed In
mastery fashion with economy Of
stroke and of gesture, but with full
ness of psychologist insight, precision
and detail.
What is obvious, but not obtrusive,
is pointed out namely, that the heroine
of the book Is Lfe-whch is symbol

as many men of Interestingly differ
entlated impulses and mien and stand

inverted with an atmosphere, and the
protagOnists move against back

economic an dspiritual ferment. Mr..
Frank understands tits significauces,
immediate and remote. its Implications,
its promises and its menace. and he has
handled all phases and factors 80 as
to make the reader grasp his and its

AS might be expected from the re-

by the cast of thought, but It is not
sicklied nor is the penumbra pale. He
has written an interesting. moving
novel, and one that is authentic In

The essential kindincss, the "bon-

peasant character, its innate dignity
and its simple faith and devoutncss
form the popular or communal back
ground for this novel OF lie Roy's. which
authorities consider quite the best Of
them and little. if anything, short of
De Maupassant's in penetration and
quality. lie Roy has given an excellent
picture of what is becominG-sincc the
PrusSian onrush and the new moods and
feelings stirred by the great war-a
vanishing phase of French civilization.
And he has stressed, analysed and in =
tcrprcted those qualities which have
made and continue to make French civ.

to the world.
In plot and character study lie Roy $

and deCcncy, standing up successfully

CATTLE SHIPMENTS TO
BE LIGHTER IN 1920
THAN PREVIOUS YEARS

About 100000 head of cattle will
be shipped out of the state this
year, it is estimated by Frank
Clark, inspector in charge of the
cattle sanitary board. This will
show a decrease as compared to
the years of 1918 and 1919 when
500, 900 and 100000 head of cattle,
respectively, were shipped. Range
was poor in those years and prices
We're better than are offered at
present.
The shipping season Is heaviest
in the spring and fall. 5000 cattle
having been shipped from New
Mexico to Kansas City last month
and nearly 5000 to Fort Worth
and Denver during the same
period.

Miller Higgins.
(BY NORMAN f.. BROWN)

Peppery. diminutive Miller Higgins.
PANIED. fried, turned over and done
on the other side by the New York
Yankees the past season because he
failed to win a p%ennant, has volun-
teered to lead the? Gotham ball tossers
another season-knockers be hanged.
Which shows that Hugs tiny frame
carries considerable. sand.
Higgins has announced, however,
that he will change his methods next
year and will try to develop more
speed on the bases, better catching
and better pitching and not depend
solely on the clubs batting power to
win games.
Higgins probably would not be in
the big leagues today as a pilot
might ever be Unknown to big league
fans-but to his vi stick-to-itiveness
as a player in the minors. He had
won his way to Glass IA and was
playing with st. Paul when he decided
that his size would bar him from
becoming a major Lacquer unless he
could learn to bat l~eft-handed and be-
come a lead-off man. He figured he
had to make his rep as a second
sacker. too. He couldn't throw hard
enough to get the ball across the dia-
mond-which eliminated third and
first from his grasp. He couldn't even
work fast as the middle man in a
double play. But he learned to play
second brilliantly. He practiced hours
days and months until he could bat
left-handed. Eventually he was
called and his fame as second base
man for the Cardinals spread over the
baseball world. Later he managed the
club before joining the American
league. ..
