higher grade than Tom Jones can get
about, Is years.
There may be no way to show ii
mathematically, blu tevery reasonable
man knows that the difference be-
tween years and Is years is greater
than the difference between one mile
and seven miles.
Or. to put in somewhat different
form, say that both Tom Jones and
John Brown own number Of scrub
cows, and desire to buy bulls. Jones,
being penny-wise, buys a three-quar-
ter Shorthorn for $3.50 Brown pays
$500 for pure bred Shorthorn. Most
men will agree that the difference be-
tween years and Is years is greater
than the difference between $3.50 and
$500.
The thing needs a little diagraming
to make the difference stand out.
Here is what John Brown did by
breeding his scrub COW to.the purebred
bull; plus equals 1; divided by 2,
equals u. John Browns calf was
half Shorthorn and half scrub
Here is what Tom Jones did by
breeding his scrub COW to the three
quarters bull: ga plus 0 equals ga;
divided by 2, equals 3-S. Tom Jones's
calf was three-eighths Shorthorn and
five-eighths scrub.
Not much diffedence in the first
generation but wait. Using those
heifer calves as breeding stock and
mating them with the same kind of
bulls, here is what happened.
John Brown gets l plus ". which
equals III; divided by 2, equals ga.
Tom Jones gets ga plus s-S; equals
9-S; divided by two, equals 9-16.
John Browns calves in the second
generation outgrades Tom Jonse's in
the second generation by 3-S Short
horn blood.
And Tom Jones has to breed three
other generations of cattle (using the
same kind of sire) to bring the cattle
up to approximately the same grade as
John Browns second generation OF
In the meantime using the
same kind of bull, John Brown has
graded his cattle up till the offspring |
of the original scrub COWS contain
1892 Shorthorn blood, and only 1-S2
scrub blood. Tom Jones cattle, in
the some generation. contain 93-12S
blood and 35-12S scrub
blood.
Jones. herd, after Is years of work,
still retains IS times as much scrub
blood as John Browns cattle-all be-
cause, Is years ago, John Brown took
the time and the trouble to travel /
miles instead of half mile, or saw
his way clear to spend $4Oo instead OF
$50.
The cost OF bulls vary greatly, of |
course, according to quality of breed
ing, age and other factors. The moral
of the story is to use pure bred sires
for herd Improvement. Replace the
scrub sires and the grade sires with
good pure breds.

ILLINOIS AND MICHIGAN FARM
]. BUREAUS TO ENTER BROKER
ACE RUSJNESS.

At a recent meeting in Lansing, the
Michigan Farm Bureau formed the
Farm Bureau Elevator Exchange to
go into business and establish offices
at Lansing. A manager will be hired
to buy and sell for all of the companies
entering this organization.
Seventeen farmers elevators were
represented at the meeting, the bal
ance of the rather large attendance
being representatives of potato as
sociations, and county agents. The
constitution and bylaws become oper-
alive when twenty companies have
agreed to them.
As we understand it, the business
of the organization will be more a
brokerage business and buying agency
than strictly commission business.
In Illinoise the Farmers Grain Deal
ers' Association has united with the
Illinois Agricultural Association,
which latter organization has appro-
priated $65, 1000 to be used in establish
ing farmers elevators where they are
desired. Later on, the organization
expects to establish brokerage offices
over the states to sell grain Of farm
ers' elevator companies.
AT Joint meeting of the Grain Mar
keting Committee Of the Illinois Agri-
cultural association and Committee
of managers appointed by the Farm
ers Grain Dealers Association of Ill
inois, at Bloomington, on Monday,
April 10Th, 1920, the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:

The storm of Thursday evening
caused some damage in the Colesburg-

while in the Masonville district the
same storm brought some hail, but no
particular damage was done, as in the
previous storm of week ago. Here's
hoping that the weather-man will wipe
the slate clean for while, in order
that crops may get decent start.

BREEDING REDUCED TO FRAC-

Tom Jones and John Brown live on
adjoining farms. Each of them owns
scrub COW. The county agent gave
them bulletin on grading up by the
use of better sires and they have de-

Joe Smith who lives mile down the

There isn't great deal Of difference
on the outside, between the three
quarters blood and the purebred. Tom
Jones, being busy, patronizes Joe
Smiths three-quarter Shorthorn bull.
John Brown, remembering copy
book maxim, that whatever is worth
doing, is worth doing well, takes the
trouble and the time to patronize the
pure bred bull at the Glendale farm.
There would not seem to be much
difference in the offspring. But, in
actual fact, John Brown accomplishes

better than Tom Jones gets in five
crosses. In about four years John
Brown has an animal Of fraction

Brings Out New Tenor
Mario Chamiee Makes Pleasing
Impression; Miss Farrar
i'm the Title Role

Puccini's "Tosca' was given for the
first time this season at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House last evening.
The outstanding feature of the per
formance was the debut of a new tenor,
Mario Chamlce, who appeared as
Mario Cavaradoss Mr. Chamlec
created distinctly pleasing impress
sion He is a lyric tenor with light,
agreeable voice and an engaging per
sonality. Born in Los Angeles, he was
engaged three years ago by General
Manager Gatti- Casazza, but military
duties postponed his operatic ad-
ventures. Since then, Mr.. Chamlec has
sung with the Scott Grand Opera
Company.
Last evening he used his well
trained voice to excellent advantage
and his acting was sympathetic and
tingcd with romance.
Miss Geraldine Farrars Tosca is a
well known operate figure not raised
to tragic heights, but still a strikngly
human Characterization of a singing
woman by singer. Last evening she
wore red wig. and in the first act
was resi- splendent in blue velvet and gold.
She was vocallv in the vein and his
ironically spontaneous, with an cf-

Compositions Heard in

In spite of incement weather an
audience Of good size attended last
night the recital Of sonatas for violin
and piano given in Aeolian Hall by Mr.

players have established in past sea-
sons q reputation for understanding

music. qualities which were again evi-
dent last night in the three sonatas
offered-the Bach minor. Beethoven

There was admirable unity of feeling
and beauty of tone in their perform
ance. but at times greater incisive-
ness at the piano would have been well
come. This was especially so in the
Strauss number. of the three sonatas

when We Are Young AT
The Broadhurst, Is Dull
Version of All Old Theme
Acted Without Skill
The Cast
By Haywood Broun

Ii you don't like plays in which the
beautiful heroine defends the roister-
ing young hero from his pious and
wicked uncle by protesting Hes not
wicked. he's just young!' you are not
apt to like when We Are Young,' by
Kate l.. McLaurin, which was produce /
at the Broadhurst Eheater last night.
Even il you do the new piece will prob
ably try YOU sorely, for the honest
working girl whose grandfather was
4 Confederate general; the faithful
stead. the New York boarding house
the alcoholic hero whose heart is good
no matter what has happened to his
liver, are here combined in more tire
some fashion than Usutl.
1t is difficult for actors to speak
such lines as "Oaklane must go. He is
mountain high in debt and preserve
any semblance of reality. AS n matter
af fact, they don't. Henry Hull as the
young man and Alma Tell as the
heroine never had natural moment
throughout the evening. Just how
much of this was their fault and how
much should be charged to the play
wright we are not prepared to say. 1t
seems to Ii s that the interests of JUS
tice would be best served by lndicting
everybody because there was enough
guilt to go round, with a generous
share for all concerned.
The play concerns young man who
dissipates his inheritance in riotous
living and is about to shoot himself
when the beautiful shop girl, who has
crept into his room to browse in his
books, comes out from behind the book
case and tells him not TO- AS a substi-
tute she suggests that he go out and
shovel snow. A dash of honest labol
and more than touch of true love
work wonders in him and in the third
act he is thoroughly reformed. When
his uncle advises him to marry rich
girl he refuses. Nor did he lose any
thing thereby. for two minutes before

On the Screen
''The Furnace" Is Feature Pic
ture at Rialto; ''The Great
Lover at Capitol
By Harriette Underhill

IF "Thc Furnace" which is the
feature picture at the Rialto, had been
called "The Refrigerator" it would
have been far more appropriate, for
then one could have understood its
selection as a caption. Neither title
would have had anything much to do
with the picture, but one has ceased
to expect that, and "The Furnace"
seems singularly inappropriate. The
only reason for calling it that seems to
be the fact that one of the women who
stood in the crowd watching fash
ionable marriage said that marriage re-
minded her of the furnace down at the
works But the rest of us haven't
such a vivid imagination.
The picture seems endless, for there
is such q dcarth of Incidents, aside
from protracted scenes between lovers
who misunderstood each other, and
who indicate that they are really
passionatelv but silently in love with
each other by gazing into space and
holding book or photograph in one
hand, while they nervously finger it
with the other hand. The story is
about London Gaiety girl who
marries fortune and then firts with
other men. because she thinks her
husband does not care for her. 1t
has been DOR many times before on
the oereen and usually much better.
Theodore Roberts is always interest
ing, even in so small part as that of
General Brent, the father of the sec
ond leading lady in the cast Also
Mayne Kelso was amusing as the
scheming mother of the leading lady
In the cast are Agnes Ayres. as the
Gaiety girl, who married TIC
nAllionaire; Jerome Patrick. as. the
millionaire; Helen Dunbar, Betty
Francisco, Milton Sills and Edward
Martindel.
The rest of the show atonod for the
tedium of the feature picture. Grace
Hoffman was in glorious voice and she
sang the SHADOW Song" from "Dinor-
ah' as she never has sung it before
The people went mad with delight at
her fiute-like top notes and the bird
like quality of her twill, and justly,
TOO. Antonio Rocca sang an aria from
"Gloconda' and the overture was from
"Traviata." The Sunshine comedy is
called His Wife's Caller"
At the Capitol the feature picture
IS "lhe Great Lover" but it is not
'ne feature OF the program. Those
who are familiar with the play prob
aDly enjoyed the picture more than
those who saw it for the first time on
the screen, for they were able to sup
ply the atmosphere which the picture
lacked. Somehow, transferred to the
screen, the story seems colorless and
uninteresting, and the people in the
cast did not help matters any. Re.
presslon is good thing in screen
actors; but we did miss the tempera-
mental raVlngs of the stage stars in
the emotional scenes
John Sampolis has done other things
mat are much better than his Jean
faurel, and the rest of the cast were
merely adequate or less. with the ex-
eeption Of the valet to Paurel We
