Tie made a special study of the movement for co-operative trading among farmers which is sweeping the country, and arriving at the conclu sion that the reason most of them had no wide success was that they failed to appeal to " 'Bill' Smith, Individual, R. F. D., number blank. Pauper coun ty, Anystate." Large co-operative schemes which require "Bill" and his neighbors to form an organization, charter freight cars, find markets, and otherwise exercise initiative and exec utive ability, will not work. "Bill" is too busy plowing. If you want to help him you must go to him person ally, or at least by mail and say: "Look here, "BIB," here is the ad dress of a. man that wants to trade a Poland-China sow for a safety razor and two bushels of alfalfa seed. You've always said you were going to raise hogs and you know that safety razor you bought in Columbia won't make a dent in your beard. Now here is your chance." "Bill" will rise to that kind of a lure like bass in May. He particularly loves to "swop." If ha can acquire something he wants without paying any money for it, he is decidedly tickled. Col. Watson looked around the world for a method to reach "Bill," and found it in that land of a million systems, Germany. The German co operative selling scheme is a govern ment organization in which the town ship is the unit. The township secre tary of the Chamber of Agriculture lists everything offered and bid for in his little territory, and makes what trades he can. The offerings that, do not sell in the township are passed on to a similar organization in the coun ty. What is too big for the county goes to the provincial secretary, and if none of the lesser organizations can handle a large proposition, the na tional government will sell it. Of course Colonel Watson could not build up .any such intricate system single-handed; but he quickly perceiv ed that the essential of the German plan was the individual appeal. Every opportunity to buy and to sell was laid before every individual farmer and dealer in the township. This Colonel Watson determined to do and lias done for the State of South Caro line. Doubtless the personality and reputation of the man have had much to do with the carrying power of his scheme. Nevertheless, there is no evi dent reason why it would not work in many States. In the first place. Colonel Watson obtained the co-operation of five of the State's largest dailies. They gave space free. Incidentally they have all gained by doing so. Without excep tion, the rural circulations of these papers have grown steadily. Kach of the papers agrees to publish every Tuesday a farm market bulletin. In this are listed every bid and every of fering that comes to the commission er's office; and the rural folk are in formed that a postcard telling what ! they have to sell or want to buy will obtain them a place on the list. The immediate result is a flood of post cards voicing an incredible variety of bids and offerings. One man wants to sell a game rooster and another a thousand acres of land. A third needs a hired man, and fourth wants to trade a phonograph for a plow. Xow a surprisingly large proportion of these demands can be "matched." j For example a man who had 240 bead of scrub yearling cattle to sell, went to Norfolk, Richmond and sev eral other cities without getting a I suitable offer.

And that Harrisburg was aware of the fact was evidenced by the large audiences that were on hand to greet the initial performances. Inclement weather played no part in the big opening, in fact, the weather man seemed very much ignored and a balmy, clear day could not have been more conducive to big business.

When the little girl, Joan, matures, she becomes engaged to Julian St. Saens, a puritanical young artist, who, never suspects the relation of Valerie to his fiancee, refuses to paint the former's portrait because she does not come up to his moral stan dards.

A quest of the blue tiger—a beast which had been termed "the flying Dutchman of Zoology"—because many scientists and explorers have seen it. yet none ever has been caught—is to begin to day when Roy Chapman Andrews and Mrs. Andrews sail from San Francisco for the Orient on the liner Tenyo Mara. Somewhere in Central Asia or Tibet they expect to capture a specimen of the animal and to make an exhaustive study of zoology for the American Museum of Natural History of New York, of which Andrews is assistant director. to the Colonel. The conjmissioner had already heard from a man only forty miles away from the-stock-raiser, who wanted yearling beeves. The trade was consummated within twenty-four hours. In another instance a man wanted to sell a hundred and fifty bushels of fine seed oats, and a postal brought the information that the owner of the third farm from his wanted to buy them. Often a farmer listing a quantity of grain such as a thousand bushels, will be able to quickly sell It In small quantities. Colonel Watson is already planning extensions of his co-operative market. He hopes to make each local chapter of the State farmer's union a unit, in a system like that of Germany. The local secretaries are to list local de mand and supply, and the State office to act as a clearinghouse for what the smaller organizations cannot handle. The commissioner also hopes to make of the distribution of farm labor a separate branch of the business. Meantime this co-operative market grows in size, variety and fame. And here is a fact that will show you how the farmers regard It. Although thou sands of items have been listed and sold and millions of dollars have changed hands, often between men who never saw each other, there has been but one complaint of unfair deal-i ins, 1 A medium or full figure, seeking to /r\ mould the waist-line shown in the Yt ri/ -- - JJJ spring fashions, will find corsets of ordinary strength absolutely Amr/lf ' k inadequate to stand the strain. / YjnL^X-^ —I ( f V Such garments will break down / Jul \\ or stretch hopelessly out of 'll \\ shape very quickly.

This is the situation at the opening pt the opera. The first act explains the complex situation somewhat in explaining that Henry Ashton, of Lammermopr, whose position is not wholly safe by reason of his being entangled in certain Jacobite conspiracies, wishes his sister Lucy to marry a certain lord who is powerful at the English court. Lucy has been accustomed to meet in the park daily a young cavalier who had once saved her from a great danger. The two love each other. The mys terious lover happens to be Edgar of Ravenswood, Ashton's bitterest enemy. Ashton sends to kill him, but he has escaped from his castle. Kdgar in the second act. ventures his life in a secret visit to the park to meet Lucy, accompanied by her friend Alice. The lover tells his sweetheart that he must depart to France and they pledge themselves to love no other until death. The guests assemble in the castle for the betrothal of Lord Arthur and Lucy. "The Fashion Girls" Stock Above Par at the Majestic "The Fashion Girls" are proving without a shadow of a doubt, their right to the title which is given their act, and the big crowds tliat attended the first day's performances yesterday convinced the management that no mistake had been made in exploiting the living models who are showing Harrisburg what to wear this Spring and summer. The mirrors placed at just the right, angle made even more effective the dainty visions which for some fifteen or twenty minutes pa raded before the interested onlookers. The sport suit and skating costumes caught the fancy of the audience and great approval was expressed, although the evening gowns were not to be sneezed at —or "In," either, for that matter. Miss Belle Laßue, a local qtfrl, displayed a number of beautiful gowns, among them a Yale blue even ing affair, with blue sequins, which, combined with Miss laßue's modest demeanor, made one of the distinctive hits of the evening. Catherine Craw ford and her bevy of attractive girls will be sure of a welcome any time thev care to return.

SYSTEM* QRGAIfIKED AUDITING ITATEJUiMS PREPARED Ashton, her brother, and his retainer have intercepted all Edgar's letters to Lucy and have concocted a forged let ter In which Edgar renounces her. Lucy is shown the letter and declares that death will be her only refuge. Ashton confesses his plight and in or der to save hint the world-old sacrifice is made and she gives a tacit consent lo the marriage with Lord Arthur. Edgar makes a dramatic entry at, the moment Lucy is signing the marriage contract, tears the ring from her finger, tramples upon it and defies them all. Llicy swoons. Tragedy stalks supreme in the last act. Raymond, Lucy's tutor, called to the bridal chamber by terrible cries, has found Arthur lying dead, bathed in blood, pierced by his own sword, and Lucy, laughing madly, waving the sword over her head. Lucy enters at this point and then ensues the famous mad-scene in which the hapless maiden sings of lier woes and calls upon Edgar to come to her. Lucy pleads for pity that one so young must die. The second scene represents a gloomy glade, with Edgar believing Lucy to tie happy in lier falseness, while death must be his portion. They tell him the truth and Raymond in forms him that the gentle soul has passed away. Edgar, after a despair ing utterance, plunges a dagger in his breast and dies. stagehands, who, like the sparkling wave of the poet, "outdid themselves in glee," and kept things in a state of constant turmoil; and a skit called "Looking for Betty" completed one of the best bills of the year at the house of vaudeville.

It is Lillian Gish in "Daphne and the Pirates," a story of early English history told in a most charming fiction style with a person ality of actors and actresses relieving what otherwise might be heavy his torical fact. Lillian Gish is charming in her role of Daphne, the girl with a will of her own who knows not the word "don't." Especially noteworthy is the care with which the producers have copied the seventeenth century period of England and faithfully re produced are those scenes which his tory tells us took place when England imported wives to the Louisiana set tlers. With peculiar effects which add 10 Ihe excitement and weirdness a battle is staged on the ocean between a pirate crew and the king's flagship. "Daphne and the Pirates" is a charm ing film exceptionally well done.
