 Hast Lynne" by many sociolo- gists is believed to have influenced the fight of women for civil rights as effectually as Uncle Tom s Cabin advanced the movement for abolition of negro slavery.
 Husband Was Master
 Until Hast Lynne" had made its appearance, woman accepted her husband as her master. His wishes were law.
 Not until England and the whole world, for that matter, was brought face to face with facts as they ap- piled to Isabel, the heroine of East Lynne,p and her vain strug- gle for possession of the child she had brought into this world was any serious thought given to the rights of motherhood and woman hood generally.
 The theme of the novel became one of the most successful of stage plays, and the screen version en- ihanees the stage interpretation.
 "The Sea Beneath"
 "Ihe Sea Beneath" revolves around the activities of noted German submarine, the U-172, and the efforts of two American ships to capture it. One Of these vessels, a big schooner, is equipped as a "Q-ship' or mystery sfip," with a big gun concealed under a false deck-house. The other is an Am- erican submarine, escorting the schooner and maintaining telephone communication with her through a long cable. The efforts of the German spy, a woman, almost capture the American vessels and the heart of their commander.

CUT AND DIVERSITY
 IS CROP PLANTING
 SLOGAN IN DIXIE

ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. 15.-Con- servatisln probably will be the keynote of Dixie's farm program this year.
 Such program, built around the Tive ad-home" idea, is the plan of extension workers of various states, and already farm agents and home demonstration workers are carry ing plans to their constituents.
 The outlook for cotton this year, leaders emphasize, is far from bright, and an effort will be made to have farmers plant more than one cash crop, varying with the locality and accessibility to market.
 A minimum production of cotton is recommended by the Georgia col qege of agriculture, although noth- ing has been said about adopting any set acreage control plan. Eu- gene Talmadge, commissioner of agriculture, said cut of 10 per cent from the 1881 acreage was cer- tain.
 More attention to livestock, poultry and food crops will be given by Georgia organizations.
 Mississippi farmers are prepared to produce this years crop at rec cord low cost, J. c. Holton, con- missioner of agriculture, says.
 North Carolina's plan, advanced by the state college of agriculture, provides for all food and feed crops needed on the farm, strict ad- herence to a budget, cash crops best suited to the individual farm, idle land seeded to leguns, improve ment of farm generally, improved living conditions.
 Alabama, through Gov. B. M. Miller, has refused to join Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina and Arkansas in the move for law to reduce the cotton crop 50 per cent. But Seth P. Storrs, commissioner lof agriculture, has plan for re- dlicing the cotton crop by voluntary contracts between the agricultural department. and farmers.
 From Arkansas comes an opti- mistic note. The record breaking crop of 1891 has placed farmers in an independent position. The farm- CTS are paying their federal loans, have their pantries and barns well filled, and many have money in the banks.
