costumes in which Miss Marlowe
has shared the labor and thought.
Mr.. Sothern is the author of three
plays, which have been produced.
The first, Who Are Theyi" later
renamed Crushed: was presented
in New York some years ago. He
also wrote. Il Love. Thou Lowest.
He Loves" and THE Light That
Lies in Woman's Eyes" In addi-
ton to his autobiography, "The
Melancholy Tale of Me-" decided
departure from the usual book of
this class, he has published many
short stories of fiction. while his ar
ticles on his experiences while en-
tersaining the soldiers during the
war, attracted considerable atten-
ton.
It was as a painter that Mr..
Sothern began his career, but like
Forbes-Robertson, he gave it up to
become an actor, though never
wholly deserting it. His father, E.
A. Sothern, was not anxious that his
sons should follow his footsteps and
enter the theater, SO he suggested
painting to his son. With prompt
response, the younger Sothern i'm
nediately began his studies. He
had already shown talent in draw
ing. His first instructor was John
O'Connor and it is interesting to
note that the boy received his first
lesson in water colors on a produc-
ton O'Connor was painting for Ade-
laide Nelson. The play, curiously
enough, was Twelfth Night"
SQthern continued his studies with
ONonnor, journeying to Spain in
search of local color, and some Of
his work done there testifes to the
success h. would have obtained had
not the stage made an insistcnt call
that the young man found irresist-
ible.

ginning Thursday, January "a, has
played in the drama of life. with
the stage set embracing two great
continents and a most important lit
tie island. Mr.. Sothern is perhaps
best known as the player of some
50-odd important characters in the
theater, and many smaller parts in
the early days when he was forg-
ing his way to the front, but as a
producer, q playwright and a painter
he also won his spurs.
The public little thinks Of the
man who produces the plays which
for the most part run so smoothly
before the eyes. And yet the pro-
ducer is an indispensable parsonage
in the theater, and in recent years
has taken a high place in the play
house. Mr.. Sothern produces all the
plays in the Sothern and Marlowe
repertoire and has done this ever
since these two stars joined forces.

supervises every detail of-producaion

THDAKOTA
RICH IN SPUDS
Enough Potatoes Produced
This Year to Feed State
A Year.

North Dakota, if forced to il, could
live fors twelve months on the po-
tatoes it produced this year. 1t
might not be a good diet to plow
or pitch hay on. but what is home
without a potato?
The potato crop just harvested
amounted to 7,45s, 900 bushels, ac-
cording to A. J. Surrat, of the
United States Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates. Figuring each potato to
weigh a half pound-which is said
to be a good average, though some
North Dakota potatoes weigh FIVE
pounds-there are 120 potatoes to
a bushel, or Ss5.os0.000 potatoes in
the crop. The population of North
Dakota being around 100000, this
means Ills potatoes year for each
person, or three potatoes a day. In
war times in Germany, families OF
five persons starved comfortably on
such rations. But as babies don't
eat potatoes and there are lots of
babies in North Dakota, each pota-
to-eating unit of the population
might be calculated to have an al
lowance OF four spuds a day.
With the transformation of North
Dakota in recent years from a great
wheat field into a diversified farm
ing country, the humble spud has
taken an important rank in farm
products. Last years yield was S.
$4,000 bushels, and the average of
the State throughout its agricultu-
raj history has been 6.s57.ooo bushels
annually.

Styles Change
In Engagement
Rings Abroad

Fashions in engagement rings in
Europe differ greatly from those in
the United States, according to a
jeweler recently returned from
abroad.
The engagement ring half sur
irounded by diamonds. known as the
half-hoop. formerly was in uni
versal vogue in European coun-
tries" he said. But they are no
longer fashionable. The demand
now is for color in the engagement
ring. The .marquise.' the single
stone and the cluster ring have be-
come popular. Colored stones,
such as sapphires, rubies and tur-
quoises, predominate with one or
two small diamonds interspersed.
Before the war. European jew
elers never would have dreamed OF
showing anything but diamond
Ihalf-hoop TO a prospective bride
groom. A young man never would
have thought of giving his sweet
heart any other design. Certainly
no stones other than diamonds
would have been considered. But
the half-hoop today is rarely seen
on the fingers of young women. II
Is worn almost exclusively by dow
ayers with grown sons and daugh-
ters.
During the present period of
economy a fad has arisen in Eng
land for a plain gold ring which
does double duty as engagement
and wedding ring. The diamond
engagement ring is. of course, the
only kind worn by fashionable peo-
pie in the United States, and II is
usually a solitaire. But engage
ment rings set with colored stones
are extremely attractive, and 1
should not be surprised to see them
come into style among American
women"
