be the first attempt to apply them on a

BERLIN. Aug. 12.-Now that Max
Reinhardt, the German producer is
going to America this fall to stage
several plays the technic of his Berlin
theaters becomes particularly interest
ing. Reinhardt has three theaters in
Berlin, each adapted to a different
. Kind of plays and reaching a different
public.
The oldest Of these is the Dcutsches
Theater. probably the best known
theater in Germany. 1t was here be-
fore audiences of some 1900 that ReinS
hardt gave Shakespeare and Ibsen, re-
vived the German classics and then
later presented Shaw and Oscar Wilde.
Since the war the Deutsches Theater
company has played Shaw. Rostand
and several modern German authors.
During this summer season they are
giving an adaptation of Potash and
Perlmutter."
The stage of the Deutsches Theater
IS as deep as the orchestra. "No thea
ter in an American city could nay the
ground rent and have stage more
than half this size George Middleton,
the playwright, who accompanied the
correspondent Of THE New YORK HER

orchestra. The dome curve. a white

lighting effects.
The electrical installation In all of
the Reinhardt theaters is more clab-

effects and facilities for playing spot

KU KLUX KILN SPLIT;
NEW BRANCH FORMED
Charter Granted at DoVer for
"Patriotic Secret, Social and
BeHefciaP' Organisation.

Dissension in the ranks of the MEM
bers of the Ku Klux Klan has result
ed in a split and a new branch of the
organization being formed, and a
charter was granted on Monday to the
National Ku KluX Klan, Inc, at Do
yer. The old organization, which has
gained wide prominence, was known
as the Knights of the Ku KluX Klan
and was incorporated under the laws
of Georgia.
The charter to the new order was
granted on the application of William
S. COburn, of Atlanta, Ga. an attOr-
ney from that state, through the
branch Office in Dover of the United
States Corporation Company.
The other incorporators are M. B.
Owen, J. P. Owen and A. E. Wilson,
all of Atlanta.
The object of the organization, as
stated in the, application for the char
ter, is ITO receive gifts, donations and
bequests of property and to purchase
and hold properties Of all kinds" 1t
will have zone or more offices and
conduct it's business and promote it's
objects in Atlanta, Ca, as well as
within the State of Delaware and else
where in the United States"
The newly chartered organization
will exercise the general direction of
the affairs and provide funds for the
maintenance of the National Ku Klux
Klan, "an institution organization and
operated in the State of Georgia as a
patriotic, secret, social, benevolent
order"

GREAT AMERICAN FARMER
PRETTY CHEERFUL JUST NOW

Ask a farmer about his crops.
what about your wheat?"
Game through much better than
expected. One of the best wheat crops
1 ever raised"
"And corn?"
"Well, you ought to see it. Tall
and sturdy and dark green. Looks as
if 1 were going to have more bushels
to the acre than a jackass could drag
down hill on ice."
Pastures and livestock?"
Never better. I'm making money
now on every load I ship to Kansas
City, and I'm shipping plenty. Hogs at
10 cents you know is pretty nearly
equivalent to dollar corn. The pas
lures are green, there is plenty of wa
ter for the stock, and the hay crop is
fine"
"Did you do well on fruit?"
Great. The berries have been
thick. Apples and peaches are in
splendid shape"
That is the sort of conversation that
is going all over this territory
when a farmer comes to town and gets
to talking. This isn't 1920, of course,
when everything went up in balloon.
People who keep comparing conditions
with that year never will be happy.
"Them days." as the song says, ARE
gone forever"
But when farm conditions. as
whole are compared with the general
average-well, the West can throw up
it's hat. It, is used to having a big
wheat year, with the corn half burn
ed I'D; or a partial wheat failure and
a good corn crop; or plenty OF corn
and an improbable livestock market.
But this year it has everything, wheat
corn, livestock, berries, fruit, hay'
pasture. in an abundance that rarely
happens. Also prices are good. They
aren't war prices, to be sure, but tney
are prices that would have satisfied
the highest ambitions of every farmer
in the pre-war days. They are prices
that mean prosperity to all this vast
agricultural area.
, ''Never the time and the place and
the loved ones all together, the poet
complained. Looking about these Wlue
horizons as fall comes, we tell the
poet to chase himself. At least this
year, what with yields and prices the
time and the place and the loved ones
are all on hand at once.
There is nothing artificial about
such prosperity. 1t isn't paper pros
perity. The West is pouring great
stream Of goods into the markets;
goods manufactured in the factory OF
the soil by application of sunshine and
rain and the farmers labor. The coun-
try is hundreds of millions of dollars
richer by the manufacture OF these
products that are being produced on
The western prairies and shipped
through the Kansas City gateway.
No wonder the farms and the cues
built on their trade are looking for-
ward to a cheerful winter!-Kansas
City Star.
