    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.

Old Mans Search for
Childhood Sweetheart
Endangers His Life
- ■
Syracuse, N. 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.

BEHIND THE SCREEN
By SAMUEL GOLDWYN
(Continued From Saturday.)
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.

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.”

"When the noise of the car begins

"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

secluded still than these, that the
British soldiers might not find them,

These remembrance* and specula
tions, however, were but loose threads
floating around the strand of etout
fabric to which my mind was hold

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

ifying fashion. 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

the conversation in the least, hut

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

“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?

Reddy and Old Man Coyote Wvlde
a Dinner.
Reddy Fox was scared! Yes, sir.
Reddy was scared! 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.

found Reddy In Ids old hidlnK place
behind Farmer Brown's barn. Pa

happened that had happened the
night before. Just before the last
light In Farmer Brown s house went

a pan of food. Reddy waited only
long enough (or Farmer Brown's
Boy to get back to the house. Then
