'VThe Book of Job"

The Book of job" as arranged and
produced under the direction of
Stuart Walker. was presented at the
President Theater yesterday after
noon, under the auspices o. Mu Phi
Epsilon. Rho Beta Chapter, before an
audience small in number but repre-
sentative OF Washington's culture.
Two narrators. described on the
program as Red Narrator Gene
We've Addleman) and Blue Nara
tor Judith Lowry. in lighted inches
on either side of the stage, introduce
with adequate effect the narrative
parts Of the biblical story. In an
stage the characters deliver the lines
Of the dialogue--apparently as given
! in the Bible. without change or inter
polation.
The use of increasing and diminish
ing lighting effects replaces the usual
/; curtain and heightens the figures
clothed in biblical costume as one
might picture them. A ceiling halo
with fan-shaped rays of the priSmatiC
colors appears when the Divine voice
is heard, while lightning flashes and
the continuous rumbling Of thunder
proclaim the Divine presence.
Thus the drama Is presented. 1t Is
tensely interesting. porfoundly i'm
pressive and at times rises to the
point of thrilling grandeur. notably at
the 0enSery Dy JOD or tnOSe "OnCer-
full lines, Il know that my Redeemer
| liveth.'

delivery of his lines and in the ac-
tion appropriate to them. was master

of the features of the performance.

/ The committee on lawns gardens
and parks was instructed to work
with residents of Kearney street be-
tween 18th and Goth streets in an
erort to have trees planted in front
OF the new homes in the two blocks.
Sp"kesmsn for the neighborhood said
appeals to the superintendent Of trees

official having notified them that the

The citizens have decided to secure
the trees themselves and plant them
at their own expense, securing per

He has always depended upon Eu-
rope to handle the surplus, and the
buying power of that people is grow
ing gradually less month by month.
In our own country, the unemploy-
ment of millions in anything like
production enterprise, and the dou-
BILE manning of many essential in
dustries, such as mining. has forced
the cost of production of non-agri-
culturel goods entirely out of the

While the farmer is entirely de-

Dor has claimed that it would sur

it has gained during the war and
it is leaving no stone unturned as
heretofore, the argument being that
the cost Of living has not decreased
This argument ignores the fact that
very large element in the cost OF
production is the double manning
of industries, as in mining and the
very low efficiency in production

Che Real Situation In Agriculture
(By c. w. Brown

lines OF business. The greater SOL
vency prevailing in agriculture is
due principally to two cause.-the
low percentage of Indebtedness on
which interest is paid and the ability
OF the farmers to reduce his cash
overhead expense-More than half
of the farmers labor expense is the
work Of himself and his family; he
has no house rent to pay, no fuel
bill to pay, his food is largely pro-
duced on the farm unless he is one of
those brainless "one crop farmers"
and of one will observe the beauti-
full flocks of chickens, herds of milk
cows, and beautiful herds of hogs
now found on most of our Bryan
county farms he will be convinced
that the zone crop farmer" has mi
grated.
From the beginning of history, ag-
riculture has been the basis of the
worlds business. Like the level of the
sea, it has been the plane from
which other business elevations and
depressions have been measured. The
future will be similar to the past,
but marked by improvements due to
better organizations, more effective
cooperative effort on the part of the
farmer and a more diversified farm
ing.
In 1914 the average value an acre
of the ten crops constituting nine
tenths of all crop production in the
U. S. was 1894 this value contin-
ually rose to $35.76 in 1919-four
times more than the value in 1896.
When the avalanche Of falling prices
in 1920 carried the farmer down
from the mountain peak or high
prices of 1919 to the valley Of de-
preston, he was obliged to submit
to immutable economic laws. He
took his losses, not like the merchant,
banker, manufacturer and other busi-
ness men who tried to fight the law
and ultimately had to fail. He was
the first to take his loss and he will
be the first to recover.
The effect of the drop in prices is
too serious to be minimized, but
plans laid for the future mast be
laid on pre-war levels on which
American agriculture reached de-
velopment that led the world.
Make the farm conform to- the lit
tie boys definition-A place where
everything is grown-A one crop sys-
tenn will ruin us-Diversification will
save us.
