PLAYERS TO STAGE “A
SUCCESSFUL CALAMITY”
Play Comes to Penn State After
a Successful Professional
Tour of Country
The Penn State Players, under the
direction of Arthur C. Cloetingh, will
..resent as their next feature produc
tion “A Successful Calamity," a clever
comedy in two acts by Clare Kummer.
x his play enjoyed a very successful
road tour and comes to the Players
with high recommendations. There is
.10 doubt but that this presentation
will be one of the most popular that the
Players have ever oflered.
Truly American
“A Successful Calamity" is truly
an American play from the opening
line to the closing one. It has to do
with the Miltons, a very fashionable'
New York family who are living at
break-neck speed for fear that their
neighbors will out-live them. The
family have come to such straits that
the members seldom see each other,
even at meal time.
Mr. Milton is a member of the old
social school and he is sick and tired
of the social lunacy with which his
family is stricken. A chance remark
from the butler one evening, -that only
the poor have time to rest, gives Mr.
Milton food for ample thought. It
seems to have come to him ut the
psychological moment." Accofdlngly a
calamity overtakes Mr. Milton and
overnight—so he tells his family—he
finds himself a financial ruin.
Things In the Milton family suddenly
change and almost before they know
it each one of them is trying to adapt
himself or herself to the dire circum
stances to which they find themselves
reduced. It Is a period of radical re
adjustment. The young wife that
Milton thought unfaithful turns out
pure gold. It w<ts only the light In
which she had been living that had
mnde her appear as tinsel. The friv
olous daughter' proved herself devot
ed by even contemplating an alliance
that would make her ablo to help her
father- over his financial, difficulties.
**nd the young son was more than
willing to go out and work to enrich
the family coffers. So it all. worked
out, and indeed It is a successful cal
amity. But Miss Kummer has a sur
prise ending, for her. audiences in that
it proves to -be a much more success
ful calamity: than Mr. Milton had ever
hoped for.
It is a clever play and It Is being
presented in a clever fashion. Feb
ruary sixteenth and. seventeenth are
the dates reserved for its performance
here, and they are dates which every
one should bear In mind.

“WESTERN FARMS” IS
SUBJECT OF P.H.TALK
Professor. Knandel Relates Exper
iences of-Trip to Pacific
Coast-Poultry Farms. .
At the Penn ■ State Poultry Club
meeting Tuesday evening, January
sixteenth, Professor Knandel, head of
the Poultry Department, gave an Illus
trated lecture on his recent trip to the
Pacific coast to the meeting of the
American Association of Poultry In
structors and Investigators.- He was
elected President of this association a
short time before he started for the
coast.
Visits Leading Poultry Farms
Professor Knandel visited many of
the leading iwultry men in the West,
and at Kent, Washington, he inspected
the largest poultry farm in the United
States. .Oh this one farm are thirty
thousand birds, and all of the work, ex
cept the packing of the eggs, is done
by three men. He visited the Beale
farm, also at Kent, Washington, an
other of the prominent poultry estab
ments in the West. •
Because of the heat, the western
farmers, stated Professor Knandel,
find It necessary to. use a method of
poultry-house construction decidedly
difforent from that; in vogue in the
eastern states. In the East; a moder
ate amount of ventilation Is provided
for, while in the West a maximum
amount must be secured. Instead of
using a great deal of gloss, ns is found
in this territory, they use little glass
and much muslin. Also; windows open
outward to provide shade, and at the
same time allow for ventilation.
The Penn State Poultry Husbandry
Club is trying to raise sufficient funds
to secure men prominent in breeding
judging and in writing,. to speak at
the meetings, although a pian has not
yet been- announced whereby these
funds can •be secured. ' _

COUNTY AGENTS STAGE
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Discussion of Agricultural Prob
lems and Social Events
Fill Program
The annual get-together of the
County Agents and other Agricultural
Extension men »»f Penn State started
list Friday. January twelfth, and will
close today. Seventy-five County
Agents and forty extension specialists
are attending the conference. These
men represent sixty-three of the six
ty-seven counties in Pennsylvania.
The first two days were spent in
talking over the projects that have
been planned.-ami the experiences that
the men have had. Some new plans
and problems were brought up but
most of the time has been devoted to
"old business” and the revision of old
projects, and everything is being con
sidered that will promote agriculture
in the Commonwealth.
New Feature
A new feature was inaugurated this
year. Dr. E. G. Xotirse. head of the
Department of Agricultural Econom
ics at lowa State College, gave a ser
ies of talks on “The Essentials of Ag
ricultural Economics." Ho has. taken
up such subjects ass price making, the
factors in price making, the conditions
that make a farm profitable and the
conditions stirrounding agricultural
markets. He pointed out particularly
the course that farmers, individually
or as a group, should take to improve
farming and marketing conditions,
lie said that most farmers were in
terested in gaining a high price, and
that they were forgetting that a low
ering in the cost of production means
more than a higher price. He laid
great stress on this lost point because
he felt that the farmers could do in
finitely more by intensifying their
production than by clamouring for
high prices. Dean R. L. Watts. Dean
nf the School of Agriculture, likewise
sj>oku along this line, and he .said
also that the'Agricultural School will,
with the support of the legislature in
stitute a course in Agricultural Eco
nomics at Penn State.
. Monday evening the County Agents
met with the Short Course men and
women who ’were interested in the
work that would be undertaken in
their counties.during the coming year
while the extension representatives
were glad of the chance to meet the
men from their own communities.
“Set-up” by “Newly-Weds”
A regular part of the program is
the ‘set-up" •by the "newly-weds."
The treat this year was donated by
the largest group ever, and during
the Tuesday afternoon session those
men. who had married during the last
year, served Ice cream and cakes to
all of the others.
Tuesday night, the men in the field
Joined with* the Agricultural faculty

some comical way. One of the cos
