PLAYING THE GAME

Many rules for the government of
human conduct have been laid down, and
all of them have been broken. Still. it
isn't a bad idea to think about some of
them occasionally and if possible give the
sensible ones a trial
An exchange prints few, attributed
to Walter Johnson, famed baseball pitcher
and manager, and while they particularly
apply to the game of baseball, the prin-
ciples enunciated are equally applicable to
the game of life in general. Johnson
says:
PLAY fair; be on the level.
Have respect for discipline.
Never alibi for failure; accept the
breaks of the game as they come.
Grit your teeth and bear down when
things look toughest
Don't criticize fellow players.
Live clearly
Never quit!''

ing new forms of power as industry
has been. To be sure. the use of pow
er on the farm is no cure-all for the
stupidity of the individual farmer
here and there. Neither has ii been
for the same kind of men in industry.
There are block-heads everywhere.
But the use of power on the farm
is revolutionizing farm procedure.
Even a brief review of the farmers
past performance justifieS the conclu-
sion that farming in this country is
fast becoming a well organized in
duStry, and that industrial methods
are being applied with startling re-
suits.
For example, the National Indus
trial Conference Board states that
while the output per worker in
manufacturing during the period
from 1900 to 1925 increased 40 per
cent that of the farm workers gained
AZ per cent. This, too, in spite of the
fact that the production of grain. one
of the easiest crops grown from point
of view of labor involved, was be-
coming relatively less important in
our national diet. Remove this factor,
and the farmer more than held his
own with the industrial worker.
Again, the Secretary of Commerce
of the United States using 100 as the
index number based on output of
l898-l900. gives the index per worker
for 1927 as follows: Agriculture. Isl;
Manufacturing, l49; Rail Transport
tation. l61. Not so bad for the poor
backward farmer"
There is not the least fattery in
the observation that the American
farmer has held his own with the
other industrial divisions of our ma
tlonal economic system. His progress
has been just as marked and just as
intelligent as that of industry. His
food supply has kept well ahead of
pOpulational demands, while at the
same time he has devoted 50,00O.000
acres to export crops. one of which
alone cotton - brought into this
country 20 billion dollars worth of
capital. A very meritorious perform
ance. He has raised the feed to keep
alive his power houses, and at the
same time has met every demand
upon him for food by the Epicurean
palates of our growing industrial
centers. Besides. he has also raised
100000 more than his share of chill
dren of the country during this time,
the 30 years ending June 30. 1929.
You can't beat that record for per-

estimated that from IS to 95 per cent
of the population was required to
produce food, clothes. and shelter for
the nation. Today, only 35 per cent
are so engaged and in the near future
it may be done by Is per cent of our
population.
McCormick's reaper was one of
those inventions which make straight
the highways of civilization. Hungry
congestion composing our cities was
for the first time guaranteed bread.
Until l848, the hand-scythe, plus a
stick handle, had been doing business
in the Self-Same way for mlllenIumS.
But by 1859, there were $4,000 reap
erS doing the work of $4,000 men
By contrast. it is interesting to note
that if any single wheat crop In
Kansas alone were harvested by the
old scythe method it would require
775,000 men to do it. Imagine the
price of loaf of bread under such
conditions
These changes on the farm are sig
nlhCant. In 1919. the year animal pow
er started TO decline. there were only
1891 farm trucks on American
farms. In 1928. nine years later. these
had grown to 697.300 trucks and had
for company another 5.426,300 motor
vehicles!
The rapid change from animal
power to machine power is as Slgnf-
cant as it is startling. We can no
longer look upon the American farm
er as a sort of glorified. romantic

Talented Girls
Play Twin Cities

After a whirlwind of fattering
successes in some of the largest
cities of the country and, in
cidentally some of the most critical
audiences in the nation, the out
standing company of colored girls
enrolled in the Harlem Play Girls
are to make a presentation before
a Twin City audience.
Special interest attaches to the
coming Of these young women be-
cause of the known difficulty that
lies in the path of colored per-
formers in getting an opportunity
to display premier talent before
the footlights of America.
Especially pleasing is the
thought that these young women
have won their way not through
favor or by any of the devious
ways through which notable sue
cess is sometimes achieved, but be-
cause hard work and the exhibit
ton of unusual talent has forced
for them an charging recognition
in many heretofore closed cities
New York, San Francisco, Holly
wood, Dallas, Memphis, and Chi
cago are numbered among the
sectors, north, south, east, and west
where these engaging artists have
set record.
According to announcement by
the Stecker Brothers, Twin City
Music Service, who present them
to northwest audiences for the
first time, these IL young artists
have been gathered after a ma
tion-wide hunt for the very best
in the several musical fields rep
resented.
They will be seen and heard at
the Coliseum Ballroom on the night
of Wednesday, June 8.

st. James Presents Unusual Program
Theme of Song and Story Heard by 200

Samuel Herrod and his Twin
City Civic chorus covered them
selves with glory and won the en-
thusiastic approval of the 200 peo-
pie who listened to their well rem
dered music last Sunday night at
the st. James A. NJ. E. church in
st. Paul.
Just to have rendered the well
known and magnificent Heavens
Are Telling" was sufficient to have
rendered secure the reputation this
chorus and its unusual director
have reached in the estimation of
Twin City people, to say nothing
of the wealth of other numbers in
which the director showed remark
able control of his singers empha-
sized in the clock like precision of
attacks, releases and pleasing tenn
pos and shading.
The soloists were most convinc-
ing in their work. In spite of the
request of the chairman, Mrs. 81. S.
Brown, to refrain from applause,
the audience broke forth time and
again in unrestrained approval.
Preceding the musical numbers the
dramatic group under Mrs. Eva
Walker Carr presented beautiful
and gripping play, "The Upper
Room" which showed in an in
tensely interesting way scenes
following the death of the Savior
as his followers gathered in the
upper room" to learn of the
devastating tragedy.
