Sl23 PROFIT ON
TON OF CABBAGE

BY Newspaper Enterprise.
WAsHINGTON-If you like fresh
cabbage but find it too high, don't
put all the blame on the increased
freight rates.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion received a complaint from
Florida that growers were getting
only So a ton because "the railroads
robbed them on transportation"
Investigation here showed cab
bages retailing at cents a pound, or
S14O a ton
The freight from Florida is $40 a
ton
Somebody besides the railroads
got the rest OF it-s123 a ton, or so
percent. OF the retail price. Who?

"Thank God" he heard the wom-
ans voice saying, "it's Saturday
night I'll be glad when the last cur
tain goes down on his crazy Shake
spere and we'll do something with o
little pep to it. Though If he could
act any more, it wouldn't be so dead"
"He's beginning to show his age
more and more" agreed her compan-
ion. snow with the air Of an au-
thority, although he had been on the
stage but a few years and was any
thing but polished in his technique,
"now, that scene with me would go
all right II he had any life left in him.
But he kills It every time. It's mighty
hard having to act in a company where
they put on rotten plays and the lead
ing man ought to be in an Old Peoples

della. "But I'm waiting my chances
and II I can get play written to suit

give you enough opportunity. But
when you hit Broadway, you're made.
Look at Nazimova and Kalishl"
They passed down the corridor A
moment later the call boy thrust in
his head with his cry Of Second Act
'Hyman nodded mechanically. He rose
to his feet, pulling bis royal velvet
robes around him. He noticed that

nured. "The next time -. - and
went into the wings.
1t seemed to Lyman that the play
would never end. For the first time
in his life, he trembled with the fear
that he might forget his lines, the
lines of the part he had recited so Of
ten and so effectively. The members
Of the company had suddenly turned
into his enemies-not the make-be-
lieve enemies of the old king, but the
younger generation laughing at him
behind his back, longing to snatch
away his hard-earned laurel crown.
When his undutiful daughter flouted
him, he seemed to see Marcus's
hooking smile. Years ago he had
thought he knew the heart of the de-
throned, insulted king. Tonight for

BOOK AFTERNOON AND BIRTH.
DAY PARTY.

The originality Of the meetings Of
the Emanuel Sisterhood Of Milwau-
kee, Wis, was typified by a birthday
party and a book afternoon, with
which the members have been enter
tanned. At the former function twelve
tables were decorated, each to repre-
sent one Of the months, and the men,
bers seated themselves at the one
which represented the month Of their
birth. One woman from each table
helped to provide the entertainment.
Characters from famous novels ap-
peared in costume as n feature Of the
book afternoon program.

madly through lengthy speech, lest
his voice should break before he
reached the end.
"What can all the old fellow?" he
heard Oswald whisper to the Fool at
ter the curtain had dropped on the
fourth act. "I've been with him ten
years and I never knew him to take
a drop too much"
Alone in his dressing room, he
dropped into chair and tried to COM
pose himself before the last act.
Pressing his hands to his whirling
head, he closed his eyes and swayed
back and forth in his weakness. With
a sudden stab of memory he recalled
how on that long ago morning when
he had run away from home he had
seen his father standing before the
western window, dressed in his white
talith, swaying back and forth in

answered Lyman, turning back to his
mirror. AT least it will be worth
twenty-five dollars"
He tried to smile as he spoke, but
somehow his sons lazy scorn followed
him through the first act and tor
mented him. Even to his own child he
was a WORKOUT failure, a man who
should step aside and give the young
er generation room. Even Marcus lied
to escape seeing him act his master
piece"
Yet after the first curtain when he
sat before his dressing table once
more, he half hoped that Marcus
would come behind scenes and speak
of the performance. He had left his
door ajar and when step sounded
in the corridor turned eagerly. But
it was only two members Of the COM
pany, the Fool and Cordelia idly gos-

prayer e. He opened his eyes with
a start and seemed to see him again,
shrouded in his praying shawl, his lit
tie black cap upon his grizzled head.
Father" cried H'yman, gin super
stitious terror, did you come to warn
me?"
The praying man did not answer,
only smiled at him with his quiet, gen.
tie eyes. And for the first time Hy-
man saw in his own father another
Lear whose children had also desert
ed him -. the little sister whose
name they never mentioned =.

volutionists and given up his Judaism

deserted Jew, prayed calmly on.
II see, see,' sobbed Hyman hys-
terically. 1--WE are all Lears. / hurt
him as Marcus hurts me as his

new thought struggled in his tired
brain. "And' Israel is the Lear Of

artist mind turned over the idea low

The call boy cried the last act. Hy-

the first time he found himself weep
ing real tears and as he sobbed out
the old monarch's immortal complaint,
he wept the woes Of two old men, q
broken king and an actor soon to be
exiled from the stage.
"You see me here, you gods, a poor
old man,
As full Of grief as age; wretched in
both!
No, I'll not weep:
have full cause for weeping; but this
heart
Shall break into a hundred thousand
flaws,
Or ere III weep. o fool, I shall 90
mad"
He had Numbered forth his defiance
To the heavens themselves in fury
and passion he had never displayed
before. But his voice failed him,
breaking and cracking, driving terror
into his own soul. For his well-grain-
ed ear warned him that the end was
not far off.
The next two acts were one long
purgatory to the frightened, discour-
aged actor. Feeling the passion Of
the wretched king as he had never
felt II before, yet dreading to lose
himself in the portrayal lest his voice
should again fail him, Hyman wander
ed back and forth across the mimic
heath, now missing a cue, now racing

in eternal prayer. The vision had van
ished, but in its stead had come the
picture Of the martyr nation, Israel,
praying endlessly. The old actor no
longer felt weakness or fear; at last
he was Lear, not only the mad old
king of the poets vision, but Israel,
the Lear Of the ages.
The audience, small and apathetic,
leaned suddenly forward, as he began
his lines over the body of the murder
ed Cordelia. This was no longer the
ranting of feeble old man who had
"been somebody in his time" Here q
woman sobbed wildly; there a critic
from uptown who had strayeG in "just
for local color" clutched his fountain
pen, hardly able to wait until he could
jot down a note or two for his story.
With flashing eyes, he already saw
the headings-"New Booth Discovered
in Ghetto" 'Yiddish Genius Electrifies
in Shakespeare" He turned to the sal
low youth at his side. "Some acting"
he gasped.
"And | wanted to make an early
getaway answered Marcus, as
though glad of listener. ~ didn't
think he had it in him."
The old king gave his last despair
ing cry, pressed his lips to Cordelia's
cheek, fell heavily beside her. A storm
of applause shook the place; for few
minutes the other actors could not
continue their brief closing scene.
Some one in the house cried Speech"
and the visiting critic ground his
teeth expecting to see the dead Lear
rise to bow his thanks -. he had
heard often do those crude things in
the Yiddish theatre. But at last 1t
grew quiet again and Kent, his voice
trembling with very real emotion,
spoke his farewell:
"Vex not his ghost: o, let him pass!
he hates him much
That would upon the rack Of this
tough world
Stretch him out longer"
The curtain fell. The actors crowd
ed about their leading man to con-
graduate him upon the triumph Of his
career. But when they spoke to him
he did not answer. For the last cur
tain had fallen.

LOSS RUNS INTO MILLIONS OF DOLLAR
Many Crops Promising Fifty Bushels Totally Destroyed and
Many Farmers We're Without Insurance.

Northeastern Montana was visited
by one of the most destructive hail
storms in the history of the state
Tuesday afternoon, July 18th, caus-
ing loss that is estimated up into the
millions Of dollars, destroying some
of the best crop prospects in the
west for many years Many farmers
suffered total loss and many farmers
were not insured. The storm passed
over Sheridan county between Ante
lope and Medicine Lake to the east
across the Dagmar country into Da-
kota, taking southeasterly course to
Ray, Williams. county. In the devas-
tated territory were many fields that
were estimated at fifty bushels per
acre. -
The weather was not extremely hot,
in fact, Tuesday was quite cool. About
noon it commenced to cloud up both
in the northeast and the northwest.
About three o'clock the wind came
up strong form the northwest, and
on the extreme northwestern horizon
hung heavy green clouds, that passed
Plentywood, drifting south, far to the
west. aN
The wind was high, almost ap-
preaching a hurricane in velocity, ac-
companied by heavy precipitation
| There was no hail near PlentyWood,
but those experienced with hail in
this section recognized the death
dealing green cloud and knew that
crops somewhere were doomed.
The green cloud gathered to the
north and west Of Scobey, passed east
] north Of the city and swung south by
IFlaxville far into the reservation and
then wheeled again into the southeast
and passed between Antelope and
Medicine Lake, destroying strip
about fifteen miles wide through the
Dagmar country, going to the south
of Brush Lake and Grenora, N; ~,
and continued in a southeasterly di-
rection4 to Ray, n. D. The hail was
not large but the wind was high and
MANY fields were as bare as newly
plowed land in few minutes, and
| where the hail did not hit, the fields
were f1attened by the wind.
/. The loss at Scobey and Flaxville is
renorted at 90 per cent; Reserve and
Medicine Lake and Dagmar 70 pei
cent; at Froid and McCabe,' heavy
crops were blown fiat. Bridges over
the county that had been repaired
since the June cloud burst were wash.
! ed out again and lot Of the railroad
i track between Antelope and Reserve
was washed out. The train Wednes.
j day did not arrive in Plentywood un,
!, til late in the evening.
& Only few Of the farmers IN u1t
devastated region had any Insurance
and this loss on top of the .arougn
of the past three years is going TO g
hard on MANY. of the farmers.

Last Saturday, July 9th, was de-
lightful summer day; while it was
hot, very hot, yet the northwest
breeze was cool, and farmers gath
cred from all over Sheridan and
Roosevelt counties, Montana, and
Williams and Divide counties, North
Dakota, for a joint intra-state Recall

with their messages of better things
from both states, to enjoy themselves

chains of industrial slavery upon the
people not only Of North Dakota, Dut
the whole nation.
The crowd was not over a third as
large as the crowd attending the pre-
vious three annual League picnics in
Sheridan. county, which was a keen
disappointment to those who promot-
ed the rally: but this fact is easily
accounted for by the widespread pow
erty existing among the farmers now,
thanks to the activities of the plum
derers Of the farmers and the poor
crops of the past years. Many OF
the farmers are not using their cars
| this year many Of them have not
the money to buy gasoline OF
them did not have penny to give
and out Of pride stayed at home-a1o
the result was a crowd Of from l5Oo

the existing conditions, the crowd was
splendid indeed. IS
