to look after the lubricating of the

II Pave Well to Drain Weet Land.
The Kentucky farmer who owns wet
land that can be drained is a mighty
fortunate man. He can make no i'm
provement that will pay him better
dividends in dollars than a thorough
system of tile drainage.
The high cost of thing land at pres
ent has deferred many farmers from a
very profitable operation.
The cost of a system of mains and
laterals in 1916 under average condi-
tons was about $50; now the same
system will cost $50.
! The average value of all plowed
land for the state in 1916 was $35, the
value of the same land now is $40.
The average price of corn for 1916
was 81 cents. The price of a bushel
of corn now is around 50.
In 1916, considering everything, it
cost s1S to grow an acre of corn. Now
it costs S25.
With a good system of drainage a
wet swamny piece of land that has
never before grown anything but bull
frogs and craw-fish will easily pro-
duce so bushels of corn. Now this
corn is worth about $95. Deducting
the cost of producing this acre of corn
gives the farmer $40, enough to pay
for the acre of land. 1t is usually the
best acre the farmer has.
In 1916 the so bushels of corn was
worth $43.5O After deducting the $1S
the cost of production. the farmer
lacked $3.50 of having enough to pay
for his acre.
Land drainage viii not only pay
for itself quicked now than in 1916
but it pays for piece of land that is
worth twice as much as it was foul
years ago.
Surely man that can realize bet
ter than 500 per cent, on an invest
ment annually is fortunate.

University of Kentucky, Lexington

Arnold DAILY Finds
American Stage Much
I'm Advance of Europe
Continued from page ono

An actor must be plastic and readily
able to adapt himself to the demands
of the theater.
English playwrights confiue them
selves far too much to the middle
classes for subject matter-the class
which is easily the most uninteresting
of the three. There are much better
characters and far more interesting
dramatic material to be found either
in the lowest class or in the highest
class"
"How about Ervine's Jane Clegg7"
Mr.. DAILY was asked.
"That is an exception" he replied
"In France the situation is different
The Frenchman can only see the humor
Of sex. He would find no enjoyment
at all in plays like Ready Money
Seven Keys to Baldpate' or like The
Tavern So the French playwright
hammers away too much on the tri-
angle
America Is easily in the lead with
players, playwrights and theatrical
technique. Men like Eugene O'Neill
and George NJ. Cohan give America a
tremendous advantage. / don't think
l have ever seen finer thing on the
American stage than O'Neill's beyond
the Horizon.'"
The first night audience, Arnold Daily
believes, does not leave all the nerv-
BUSINESS to the actors 1t Is tense,
self-conscious, non-plastic audience, an
exceedingly difficult audience for the
actor to play for.
"Do not misunderstood me-" Mr.. Daily
said. II don't think that a first night
audience is hostile. Decidedly, it Is not
that. l am sure it is friendly audi
ence that wishes the actors we'll.
Nevertheless it is as nervous as the
actor, and is hard to produce any ef-
feet on. Because of the tension points
are missed that other audiences get
Immediately. This was easily notice
able the second night of The Tavern
All through the first act on the opening
night only slight ripples of laughter
came at points which l thought were
very funny and very clever. They did
not seem to catch on. But the next
night there was a far different story.
On the other hand, the first night audi
ence laughed more heartily In the sec
ond act, because 1t realized what It had
overlooked in tho first act. The laugh
ter was moro even the following night.
Come around some night and see if you
do not note this fact" he said In part
ing.

TIME new separate skirts which
i make their appearance early ar
rived the latter part of December and
by the middle of January we were
quite familiar with them. They are
more Indispensable than ever to the
southern tourist, whose time is sup
posed to be spent out of doors in the
pursuit of some sort of sport. Judging
from the color and rich appearance OF
some of these new skirts the most
popular resort sport is the wearing of
good looking clothes.
The wooden skirts are mostly in
large plaids in which very soft and
quiet colors are skillfully combined.
There are some smart black and white
combinations among them and some in
which black and white plaid stripes
alternate with soft colors in stripes.
These are made up with inverted
plaits, like the skirt shown at the left
of the two pictured above. No colors
! but the black and white appear, ex-
cept as the plaits are spread apart by

n l.OUSES rank with hats now in
I'D diversity of design and beauty.
They have grown in Importance with
the passing of each season. and many
shops devoted entirely to them find
business brisk all the year around.
Styles cover range all the way from
the simplest tailored models to rich
and brilliant things for evening wear.
Every time the subject of blouses is
up for discussion women congratulate
one another that sheer and dainty
handmade blouses in simple styles
have returned to high favor. Once
again we have with us the painstalline
and beautiful needlework that we have
learned to associate With France.
Whether the new blouses are the work
of French women or not they come
I'D to the standard of daintiness and
elegance that those patient needle
women have taught us to love.
Fine voile, batiste and net are the
| mediums chosen for interpreting the
new wash blouses. Net with eyeleI
embroidery is favorite, and wolfe
makes opportunity for drawn worl
and hemstitching, the Introduction OF

walking. The model pictured is the
most popular for wool skirts. Girdles
are plain and narrower than those of
last year. Such a skirt, with the new
handmade and simple blouse of wolfe
or batiste and a sweater that looks
well with it, is as dependable as
tailored suit.
The skirt at the right is one Of those
irresistible silks in the heavy weaves
that make innumerable sport skirts
de luxe. They are quite plainly made,
as may be gathered from the picture,
and they have girdles to match. In
the matter Of pockets designers have
been endlessly ingenious and one may
have them set in or set on in any
number of ways. 1t is on the wonder
full new colors that they rely for nov
city and they are more often two
toned than plain. Very fine wolfe,
batiste or georgette waists dafntily
made bear these skirts company and
together they are the aristocrat in
sports costumes.
