Cultivation of Soil Results in Rainfall . _ With One Exception, 19 Coun ties Lying East of River •k Have Greatest Precipi tation in South Dakota. 07 Assm-lated rrpn. Huron, 8. D., Feb. 17.—That culti vation of the soil reacts in an in creased amount of rainfall In South Dakota is a theory given peculiar force by a comparison of tables or monthly precipitation in 64 counties over a period of from 3 to 48 years, just made public here by M. E. Bly stnne, federal mcterologist. With one exception, the 19 counties showing highest average annual precipitation were those lying east of the Missouri river. The same was true of all but three of the next 14 counties in the list. Lawrence, in the extreme west, however, was shown to he the wet test county in the state, with average Annual precipitation of 28.94 Inches, according to the records of one sta tion. ITnion county was a close sec ond, with 28.63 inches average for the period, and Turner ranked next with a figure of 28.55 Inches. * The station tn Union county also reported the most consistently high annual average, the range being from 23.78 to 36.27 inches. The greatest precipitation reported from any county in a single year was ^^flat of the Vermillion station in Clay ^ county. The year's total for 1909 was 45.03 inches. Other high marks were those of Fail River county, 42.17 inches; Yankton, 40.95: Haakon. 39.91; Deuel. 38.57: Hanson, 38.25, and Turner, 37.40. In the other extreme, Butte county holds the record for scanty precipita tion with 6.67 inches for 1911. In one case the annual total for Perkins county dropped as low as 7.10 Inches. Hughes, 7.82; Butte, S.04, and Buf falo, 8.86. Yankton boasted (he longest record of observations, figures being sub mitted for all hut three years since 1873. / According to Mr. Blystone's report, precipitation in the eastern half ot the state averaged 22.3 inches on the basis of all records submitted and that in the western half averaged 18.5 Inches. In each case monthly records showed that about three fourths of the total was received during the crop raising season. Ships Targets in Bomb Tests to Be Auctioned Washington, Feb.

Y., Feb. 17.—Led from hi* home In far-off Colorado, In an urge to see his boyhood sweetheart, long since dead, Robert Roscomb, 76, is at the Volunteers of America home today, ill and broken-hearted. Roscomb came from Denver In a day coach. He was led to Syracuse, once hie boyhood home, to see Mrs. 1 Tannah Reddings, for • whom he bunted rabbits as a boy In the Onon daga valley. With only a slip of paper bearing the name of Mrs. Reddings' daugh ter, Mrs. William Eayllsa, to guide him, Roscomb started for Syracuse. He found Mrs. Bayliss but when he asked her for her mother once his sweetheart, he learned she was dead. The romance of years was broken, lie stayed for dinner at the Bayltaa home, and then wandered Into the night. The aged man lost his way and was directed to a police Ktation. To the desk sergeant, he said: •‘I’m lost, 1 guess. No one knows ^^mne in Syracuse. And she—she’s ^d^d.” Police furnished him with lodgings for the night. Today the aged man was taken to the Volunteers of Amer ica home. He is threatened with pneumonia as a result of cold and exposure. ADVERTISEMENT. “HEALTH RESTORED ■ BY INTERNAL BATHS AT 68 YEARS” M>.

Mia* Garden herself was quits as overwhelmed by thi* failure as was the company. It had certainly been through no lark of dlligejiee on her part that the story went a* it did, for she had arrived at the studio early each morning and was often the last to leave it. Certainly we were most unwise in selectinfP’for her first picture a story in which her operatic tradition was so ingrained. This was brought out by the comparative success of her second film. "The Splendid Sinner.” Had this only been produced first we should have done on it three or four times the business which we actually did. As it was, "Thais” had been such a complete "flop" lhat exhibi tors had their fingers crossed when it came to Mary Garde*. The Garden experience cost the Goldwyn company heavily. Disas trous as it was, however, it did not compare with the $>’50,000 contract which the Famous Players Dasky or ganization made wdth the late Ca ruso. 1 was at Graumann's theater in I.os Angeles when the first of the two pictures involved in this contract was released, and its reception was even more virulent than that accord ed "Thais.” After playing two days it was, in fact, hissed off the stage. What was more, this experience was echoed all over the country. Nor was a rival's venture witli the beau tiful Dina Cavalierl more productive of confidence in the wisdom of trans planting t'.e operatic star to the screen lirmument. Aside from the unfamlllarity of the stage and operatic star with the me dium of motion pictures, a difficulty enhanced by the arrogance with which they usually approach the new field, there is another fundamental destruction in tile path of the film producer who exploits them. Al though their names may be on the lips of every inhabitant of a large city, many a small town knows them not. Main street, which counts enor mously in pictures, is apt to be much more familiar with some' compara tively obscure film actress than with Farrar or Garden. This fact was brought home to me when, some months after signing my contract with Miss Garden, I was talking with a small-town exhibitor who had come with his lawyer to see me about sign ing a rontract for Goldwyn films. "Ah,” remarked the lawyer, look ing at some photographs on my desk, "1 see you have engaged Mary Gar den That ought to be a great card.” "Mary Garden!” exclaimed the ex hibitor at this point. “Why, what’s new about her. I showed her five years ago and charged 5 cents ad mission.” Evidently he had confused the prima donna with Mary Gardner, a screen actress. * One of the Incidents which stands out from that winter in the Fort Lee studio was the meeting which I effected between Mary Garden and Geraldine Farrar. This two rivals had never been Introduced. But neitker apparently had found ac quaintance necessary to the forma tion of a firm opinion. In the days when Miss Farrar used to be work ing in the Lasky studio I would some times talk to her while De Millo was taking other scenes. The con versation usually drifted toward peo ple, and Its current bore us almost inevitably to Mary Garden. It was quite patent, however! that the fas cination which this theme seemed to possess for Geraldine was that of professional rivalry, which always exists, and the greater the prima donnas the more vehement the feel ing. When I came to meet Miss Garden I found the sentiment strikingly recip rocal. Yet on that famous day when I brought Miss Farrar over to the Fort Lee studio to meet her rival I wish that the world might have shared in that greeting. Never were two women more glad to see each other. The affectionate cadences of their voices, ttife profound apprecia tion of the privilege of this moment expressed by each—these ended at last in a farewell kiss. But the kiss, I discovered later, had worked no psychological change. Both felt ex actly the same after the meeting as they had before. My experience with Miss Garden was costly. It was not, however, so Ill-fated as was the Goldwyn com pany’a engagement of Maxine El liott. With this episode I shall begin my next chapter and shall follow it with the story of Pauline Frederick, the Goldwyn company’s engagement of Geraldine Farrar, and with my memo ries of Charlie Chaplin. CHAPTER ELEVEN. Maxine Elliott and Pauline Frederick. It waa one day Just after the Gold wyn company'! Inception that Arch Selwyn and Rol Cooper Megrue came to me In great excitement. “Max ine Elliott's arriving tomorrow from England," announced Megrue. “Ye*. Sam,” added Selwyn, "and we think It would be a great thing if you signed up with her. Right this minute the Shuberta are after her for pictures.” When, a few days later, Miss El liott came to my office I thought I had never seen a human being more radiantly lovely. When I considered, too, that In addition to this glorlou^ beauty she had a reputation for these looks In every hamlet In America, the one anxiety which assailed me was; Can I possibly get her away from the other fellow? As a matter of fact, I did secure her only after long, arduous negotiations. Never was a picture surrounded by more care than Miss Elliott's first production. ' Irvin Cobb and R<>1 ronppr Megrue wrote the story. Both names should have assured the ex cellorice of the vehicle; Alan l)\ran, one of the most celebrated directors, assumed charge of the production. Hugo Ballln. the portrait painter, de signed the sets. In spite of nil this perfection of detail, “Fighting odds” waa an abject failure. Never, Indeed, was any Goldwyn film criticised so ferociously as this. Not only did we lose on the picture Itself, but the ''ffop'' was s-'J conspicuous that It resulted In the cancellation of other pictures of ours. All this was far from heartening In further performance, yet In the midst of the storm called forth by her first picture Miss Elllolt was busy on her second. She was now under the direction of Arthur Ilopklns, who, although he had been studying stu dio methods for some months, had never before assumed full away of a production. Probably nothing on the screen was mere amusing than that Inner drama of Inexperience and be wilderment revealed In the making of this second picture. One day Miss Elliott, her throat swathed In yards of tulle a prefer live measure of which she, Ilk** Bern hardt, often availed herself—was wheeling around and around on the set. “Good gracious!” whispered some body Impishly as she looked at this flit lie nnd pathetic whirling of the statuesque woman. “Isn't she ever going to run down?" Poor Mias Elliott, She evldcntlj didn't know wlial tu do when sin stopped turning! And I doubt If Mr. Hopkins was more inspired! At this point the reader may won der why 1, a producer of experience, would confide so much in two people who had so little screen experience. The answer to this is that I have always wanted to enrich motion pic tures by assured talent from outside fields. This involve.d experimenta tion, and it was natural that a few of my experiments should fail. Oth ers, on the contrary, have proved the wisdom of bringing in new blood. That Mr. Hopkins, a theatrical producer of such merit and reputa tion, did not justify my selection of him was due to his indifference to the new environment. He never regarded pictures seriously, and after directing the Maxine Klliott ytory he came to me and told me that lie could not get his mind sufficiently detached from the stage ever to be successful in a studio. A beauty of the stage with whom I had a more fortuitous contract was Pauline Frederick. Miss Frederick was with Zukor when I founded the Goldwyn company. That she trans ferred to me was due to her hus band, Willard Mack, the playwright and actor. Coming up to me one night at the directors' ball at the Biltmore, he .aid: "See here. 6am, Polly's contract with Famous is just about to expire. How about it, anyway? Now I'd like to see her go with you, for you're a yejung company and I’m sure you would take a bigger Interest in her ” I fell In Immediately with this line of thought, and some evenings later he phoned me to see him at the Ly ceum theater, where he was then ap pearing with Lenore Ulric In “Tiger Rose.” When I got to his dressing room T found Miss Frederick there. Together we three discussed the pos sibility of the star’s transference to the Goldwyn company, and after some weeks of conference the possibility crystallized into a fact. Needless to say, Mr. zukor did not take the news of her deflection any too kindly. For at this time Miss Frederick's large American following was reinforced by great popularity In other countries. In Kngland, for example, she was as much of a draw ing card as was Mary Pickford. In his irritation at her loss it was, I suppose, quite natural for my com petitor's sentiment to overflow to me. Normal or not. It certainly did so. Meeting me at a ball soon after the news came out, Mr. Zukor began overwhelming me with reproaches for my treacherous conduct in weaning his star away from him. In vain I explained that the advance had been made from her side, not from mine. He refuaed to believe me. Finally the diacusslon became so heated that Alice Joyce came running over to us. ‘‘Gentleman, gentlemen!" aald she laughingly, "I don't know anything in the world worth so much discus sion—especially a motion picture star!” At this time we were Just on the point of moving our studio from Fort Lee to California. This involved, of course, moving Miss Frederick. A gentle theory this, but its execution threatened danger. For Miss Fred erick was devotedly attached to her husband and he was playing in New York. I am not overrating the emotional pressure of this situation. Compared to Pauline Frderick Mrs. Mlcawber gave a wavering brand of devotion. She never would desert Mr. Mark— not for nn hour. I have related that the first time I talked to her regard ing a change, I found her in her husband's dressing room. This was no eoincidenoe. It was a habit. Aft er working hard all way on the set, she spent every evening back of the scenes with Mack. In consideration of such strongly marked feeling on her part I obvi ously was compelled to do something about Mack. The fact of It Is that, far from wanting him on the basis of agreeable surroundings for his wife, I was most anxious to shift him from theatrical work to our organi zation. A playwright of skill, an ac tor of experience—why should I not have supposed that he would be a valuable addition to the Goldwyn com pany, The position which 1 offered him Anally was head of the scenario de partment. Although he was making more on the atnge, he accepted my appointment at $500 a week, for the salary was accompanied by the prom ise that If he made good I would raise his salary and give him a long term contract. He started his new duties in the Fort Len studio and they were achieved so satisfactorily that we thansferred him together with his wife to the California estab lishment. Thereby hangs a tale. fCeatinned In The Morning Hoe.) Died a* a Pauper, but Left Six Millions Chicago, 111., Feb. IT.—E.

Absolutely Pure imported POMPEIAN (HIVE OIL Makes the most delicious mayonnaise and Frenek 4phiIq( Attorney Holds m Cube Root Record Mason City Man Surprises1 Mathematicians With Rapid "Mental Calculations. Mason City, la., Feb. 17.—This place has presented another subject for the psychologists of the world to work on. He is Urbane L. Barrett, a lawyer, with mathematics as a hobby. Within 10 seconds he can extract In Ills head the cube root of any number. Mr. Barrett returned yesterday from Chicago and Columbus. O., at both of which he attended meetings of mathematicians and was acclaimed to have a mind without precedent in the'' history of mankind. In Chicago one paper said of him: "Archimedes might have lifted the earth if he had a fulcrum, Newton may have discovered gravity, Galileo might have found the earth revolved and that Einstein's theory Is more than a dream, but it remained for Mr. Barrett to name almost instan taneously the cube root of figures running up to a trillion.” At the Armour institute, before the American Society of Mechanical Engi neers and before the Western Engi neers, he computed the cube roots of numbers as long as one's arm. It took him 11 seconds to compute the cube root of 691,517,622,133. It was 8,877. Mr. Barrett's formula, and he ad mits it is that, although he declined to tell what it is, came to him 20 years ago when he was milking a cow. He Jumped up. rushed to the house, bossy kicked the pail of milk over and Barrett got a scolding. But he had the solution of his problem. Psychology classes here in the junior college and both psschology and mathematics classes in a number of colleges elsewhere are trying to arrange with the local lawyer for a demonstration. "Law’s still my pro fession,” says Mr. Barrett. “Mathe matics must remain Just a hobby.” Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” s--' Madge Wondered Whether Bob Had Been Coached. "When the noise of the car begins to get faint." I whispered to Edwin. "I shall start this. Luckily It doesn't make such noise." "All right," he assented also In a whisper, and then we all waited, tensely listening to the motor of the other car. In that Interval there shot through my mind a remem brance of another time when I had waited In a similar retreat farther down the road for another car to pass. Then I had been doing gov ernment service, nctfv I was upon an errand affecting tne happlneas of my own family. But the winding paths and scheduled nooks of the section were serving as faithfully for one expedition as they had for another. I knew that many legends hung around the sections, tales of the revolutionary war, when the farm ers hid their horses In gladm more secluded still than these, that the British soldiers might not find them, tales of Indian skirmishes, farther l»ack. tales of smuggling later on. of spies during the great world wnr. and last of all, tales of boot legging touching every road of this end of the island, where the dis tance from the coast of the ocean to that of sound or bay was so short as to be almost negligible to a swift motor car. These remembrance* and specula tions, however, were but loose threads floating around the strand of etout fabric to which my mind was hold ing. I did not wish the men In the other car to notice the sound of my own starting engine, therefore I must not wait until they had stopped theirs altogether. On the other hand. I wanted them to get as far away a# possible. I was glad to have Edwin take the decision out of my hands. Full Speed Impossible. "They are plowing up now," he whispered. "Better—" I did not wait for the finish of his sentence, but turned the switch key, hoping desperately that the car would respond In Its Invariably grat Another bnllsoya for Um htnta — the IpNdwijr Mi.

Never was the sound of i he starting motor more welcome to my ears, and I handled my gears and clutch with Infinite ca/e for fear of stalling, as I guided the car out of the little glade into the wood road and then out to the broader highway. "I'm going to let her out a little," I said to Kdwin. ‘ Will you watch that side of the road for me?" “Of course,” he said, and I sent the car along the road at as good a pace ns T dared, considering the rain, the constant curving of the road, anil the danger of skidding. "I'm going to take this road along the hay to Southampton,” I ex the hay to Southampton.” I ex plained, although I knew that all roads were alike to my passengers, unfamiliar with the region. But my nervous tension demanded re lief In some sort of speech, and this was nearest my lips. "It’s a little longer and more winding, hut there's very little travel on It at night, and we come out in a remolo part of the village. By the time we reach the main road if there do happen to be watchers for us, we might have come from any one of four different directions, and there will be other cans passing.” "That appears to be a splendid Idea.” Harriet said in the tone of a person who does not understand the conversation in the least, hut thinks some comment upon It must he made. Concern for the Children. “Do you want me to keep on tpii ing you if I see a light?" Mary piped, inordinately proud of her posi tion as lookout. “I shouldn’t think it would be necessary now,” Harriet Interposed, "and I’m afraid she’ll get chilled, kneeling on the seat. I can't keep the blankets over the others, either, with her wriggling around.” Despite my anxiety, I could not help smiling to myself at Harriet’s querulous tone. It was so exactly the worried mother-tone of the woman who can see nothing beyond possible "colds” or other Illness for the small children in her care. My sister-in-law was fast being molded Into the niche Fate had provided so strangely for her. "I won't need you now, dear." assured the eager child, "but If I should want you again, I’ll tell you.” My brother In law had made no comment whatever upon the little colloquy, but after a few minutes, I noticed he was engaged in a whts pered conversation with the boy upon his lap, and after an Interval of alienee, he spoke aloud. "Bob, are you comfortable, or would you rather get In another posi tion?” “If you don’t mind, Uncle Edwin. I would rather sit the other way.” the boy reeponded, and something In his tone made me think suddenly of my school teaching days. The voice and manner of the child were those of one coached, and the conviction came to me that my brother-in law had rehearsed question and answer with the child. Why? Blaze in Drug Store.

He wished now that he hadn't waited to see the dis appointment of Old Man Coyote when he discovered the empty pan In Farm er Brown's barnyard. Reddy had him self been so disappointed the night before when he had discovered the empty pan, and his nose told him that it had been emptied by Old Man Coyote, that he wanted to see Old Man Coyote equally disappointed. With all his cleverness he hadn't thought that Old Man Coyote might pick up his trail and try to catch him. But this is just what Old Man Coyote hail done, and now Reddy was running as only a badly scared Fox can run. A fight with Old Man Coyote was the last thing* In the world that Reddy wanted. "It Is of no use for me to try to play tricks on that fellow the way I do on Bowser the Hound," thought Reddy. "He is altogether too smart to be fooled by tricks. I’ve got to trust to my legs to get me to my home before he can catch me." Bo Reddy made straight for his 'some by the shortest way. He was none too soon getting there. Hardly was be Inside when Old Man Coyote came panting up to the entrance. He was in a great rage. He accused Reddy of having stolen his dinner. He told Reddy of the dreadful things he would do to him the first chance he got. Finally he went away, grum bling and growling and still making dreadful threats. All that day Reddy remained in his house. He slept a good part of the day. When he w-asn’t sleeping he was making plans to visit Farmer Brown's barnyard again, in the hope of finding another good meal there. "Old Man Coyote will come early to night," said Reddy to himself. "I'll have to get there earlier than he does. He is so suspicious that I don't be lieve he will dare go up to Farmer Brown's until it is too dark for him to run any risk of being seen. I'll be there in time to grab that food as soon as it Is put out." You see, lioddy felt very stir* there would ho food put out.
