OPERAS FROM THE SCREEN.

Announcement of the directors of the Opera Conf
que of Paris that they have had a liberette prepared
from an American film play opens the way for i'm
proyement In the intelligibiity Of grand opera. This
Is the first time that a screen drama has been trans
formed into an opera, but there Is every reason for be-
be repeated.
The photo play and the opera are alike in the res
pect that understanding of the story drama purports
to develop the plct through the instrumentality Of Ian
guage, but since most CT the grand operas presented
in this country are in foreign tongues they are unin-
telligible to all but a few and the audiences are com
PEELED, If they wish to understand the plot, TO have re-
course to a translation OF the libretto, or to interpret
the acting. This Is often necessary even In the case OF
operas given in English, since enunciation becomes in
distinct in singing. But the producers of operas have
not heretofore presented works OF which understanding
could be gained wholly through the acting. This will
be possible in operas taken from the movies"

AT PULLEN HOG SALE

The Union county farmers who are
fanciers of Big Type Poland Chinas
were out in force at the Bruce Pullen
annual November sale this week. Mr..
Pullen is we'll known among Poland

neyed to his farm on Route out OF
Liberty, to pick up promising young
Sters.

considers that he had a good sale.
and this his friends conceded. Enoch
Maze, of Brownsville, who can usually
be found wherever Big Type hogs are
at auction, in this section, was the
high bidder. He took home a 2-year-
old SOW at 500.
The Ladies' Aid of the Brownsville

and were well patronized. Howard
and Carr were the auctioneerS and
Guy Howard made the settlements.
three of the Pullen hogs have found
new homes in Ohio, and others were
scattered throughout Union and near

The Farm and Farmer
By WILLIAM n. sANeORN -

general committee at headquarters,
with whom they can be called to act,
either in regard to state or national
legislation, as may be thought advis-
able. Men in each district are sup
posed to note what state legislation.
with local bearing, is desirable, and
also to consider the same, having
statewide application.
Mr.. Towards Remarks.
In his speech before the state farm
federation convention at Indianapolis.
j. r. Howard, president of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, cited
few important things which had result
ed from the work of the Committee OF
Seventeen. at Washington. He said
that it was discovered that while it
was costing 10 cents per bushel to
ship western grain from Buffalo to
New York city, the same grain was be
ing shipped from Chicago to Buffalo
at ) Is cents. This was because of lake
competition. The matter was taken
up before the Interstate Commerce
commission. which admitted this prac-
tice to be unfair. 1t was shown furth-
er that by allowing this tonnage to be
handled by water, thousands of cars
could be liberated to serve the country
much more effectively. On being ash
ed to file their objections, they went
directly to the railroads and carried
their point, thus releasing thousands
of grain cars for commerce in the
west, where there was crying need for
them. Red tape requiring possibly a
year or more to unravel was thus cut,
inside of a few days.
Tenants Leaving Farms.
One of the men in attendance at the
federation convention stated that a re
cent visit to South Dakota revealed
that tenant farmers were deserving the
farms. They were selling off at what
ever prices obtainable in order to gel
to town or city where there might be
chance for employment and an aSsur-
ance of at least money enough to keep
the wolf from the door. The speaker
stated that in hundreds of Instances
the tenants had not made a living, or
if they had lived, they had very little
to show for their work and no fund to
carry them over to the next crop peri
cd, hence their getting out at sacri-
| flee.
He also cited the fact that thous
ands of cattle were being marketed for
less money than the feed they have
eaten cost, to say nothing of their
! first value as home raised calves or
purchased feeders. The investment,
| time and labor in all such cases, and
| the hope of profit, are all in the wreck
age There is nothing left to figure
| but the loss.

HOGS SOLD
$50 UNDER HIGH MARK
GRAIN IS Lower
By WILLIAM r. SANBORN

With the bulk of the hogs at Chi
cago selling at s11.35 to $11.65 on Fri
day, and with a top of $12, hogs were
$50 below the high water mark OF
the year, which was made on Septem-
Der 20. Prospects of a decrease in
cattle receipts braced that market, but
sheep and lambs were IS cents to 81
lower than a week ago.
All Grain at Low Levels.
The grain markets have been max
ing new lows from week to week, for
some time. Friday, corn and oats col
lapsed to pre-war levels, dragging
down wheat almost ten cents per
bushel. December wheat sold as low
as Sill per bushel, closing at SLIP.
December corn touched 661s, and De-
cember oats 4414. But these figures
do not represent Saturdays market
A still lower range of prices ruled
shortly after the opening this morn
ing. The story is best told on our
market page. December wheat sold
early at $166A March wheat at $1.57,
at which time corn was also about
8 cents lower.
Cotton, Coffee and Sugar.
What has been happening in grain
and live stock markets, has been hap
penlnS In the cotton and STOCK mar
ketS. This is also true as to raw sugar
prices, there being plenty of that on
the market at under cents per pound,
new low record Refined sugar is
down to 9 cents at eastern refineries,
and beet sugars are also on the to-
hogan, compared with recent prices.
Flour has been marked down with
wheat, from time to time, western
mills cutting prices from 20 to 80
cents per barrel again on Friday. And
we must not overlook coffee. Coffee
boomers, so notably to the front in
recent months, have retired from the
field. The speculative grades of Bra
lillian coffeeS are number 7 Rios and
number 4 Santos. These are traded
in on the Exchange just as is wheat
at Chicago, but the cash prices inter
est us most. Rio Is sold at rs to
~ cents per pound at New York. Fri
day, with number 4 Santos going al
from 104 to II cents. The mild
coffees of South America and the East
India Islands are higher than these
Brazilians, but at that are down
around pre-war levels. for the most
noted groWthS. The fact is that they
are bringing less money than they
brought twenty years ago, on account
of more extensive cultivation and bet
ter shipping facilities.
