Farmers Should
Look Ahead, Word
Sec. of Agriculture

Washington. Oct. 21-William M.
Jardine, secretary of agriculture, to-
day issued the following statement:
Farmers may wisely look beyond
this year while seeding or preparing
to seed for next years wheat harvest
From intentions expressed by the
farmers it appeared that the prices
for wheat at the beginning of the
season were causing them to plan %
increase the area seeded. 1t is main
ly, however. q partial crop failure.
which has reduced the production of
many classes of wheat below domes-
tic needs. and which together with
the tariff. has CAUSED farmers to re-
ceive prices somewhat better than at
the beginning Of the season last
year.
1t seems probable that the market
has already completely discounted all
the bearish factors in the wheat
situation for this year. The depart
ment Of agriculture has made public
in this country estimates of produc-
ton in foreign countries as they We're
issued and called attention to the
various factors in the situation.
AS stated in the Outlook Report is
sued by the department in Septem-
Der, If farmers carry out expressed
intentions to plant more wheat anr
realize normal yields, all wheat next
year may be upon an export basis
and have to meet competition in for
eign markets without tariff protec-
ton.

New Chicago Play
House to Be Built
Under the Ground

Chicago, Oct 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated ess)-Classic standards of
drama and art will be introduced to
the great commercial center of the
west tomorrow night by the opening
of a new kind of theatre here. AL
ready this gospel of the classic has
penetrated TO the Chicago Scenery
Painters Union, which has author
lied official participation.
The playhouse is the Goodman Me-
mortal theatre home of the dramatic
art department of the Chicago Art
Institute. Both theatre and school,
it discards many of the traditions of
the acting profession in an effort
to naturalize dramatic productions.
1t is the aim of the director,
Thomas Wood Stevens. to offer to the
public at nominal cost the old mas
ters and the modern ones in drama,
like the art institute has made avail
able the best in painting, sculpture,
ceramics and other arts.
The theatre is unique in, being
largely underground, due to city
building restrictions on structures in
Grant Park, the heart of the citys
Lake Michigan frontage.
There are no spot lights, con-
cealed 70 wof lights above and in
front of the proscenium arch Gre
ating on the stage an effect of natur-
al outdoor daylights. This makes 1t

Winter Travel on the Yukon

The Yukon, like all large northern
rivers, freezes in the fall by the MAX
ing of scum ice and thin ice on its
margins and in it's tributaries, which
moves out and down, getting thicker
each day. Currents and winds pile
it thicker still in turns, on bars, in
narrow places. Next 1t jams in
places, piling higher. Then it may
break, or water run over it. All sorts
of things happen during the two or
three weeks ice is making before the
river locks--the ice sticking for
keeps in certain places miles apart
perhaps and holding the moving Ice
above until the whole section con-
geals-for keeps.
The general result is very 1ncon-
gruous surface. There will be smooth
ice for some miles. In certain sea-
sons a great deal Of it. There Will
be sections a hundred yards long or
twenty miles, over which 1t is al
most impossible to push an empty,
light Yukon sled, although perhaps
the margin, or parts of IT, on this
same section may offer good sled
ding. Such margins froze solidly
