For reasons chiefly eco tiomlc, R?.lnhardt's Icidlnc actors in a numb< r of lUHlnnrra must not only |>Iay in more than one thea ter In an evening. hut also must impersonate roles requiring difT? r ont make-ups and widely differing, mental atlltudcd. For example, Eugen Khepfer. who playvd a Mar |wrt in the Salz burg h'Ptlval plays, appears in the KnrgfouM costume of a Chin ese mandarin. speaking the flow ery language of t li?* Orient, in Kin bund's "The Chalked Circlo" at the I)i utsoh es theater until he ii> poisoned by It !h Jealous wife and dl.*x. His resurrection behind the fiCfiiM must then be followed by n mad taxicab dar,h to the Koin oedle (heater at the other end of Berlin. where in Galsworthy's "Loyalties" lie appears as the at torney Jacob Twisden. with a completely changed voic. manm r nnd make-up. His rslleaguo, Hans Thimig, ap pears with Kloepfer as I'rlnce l'ao in the first aet of "The Chalk' <1 Circle" and then hurries to the adjoining Kantmerapiele theater, where ho Is transformed Into a bolshevik parading under t li- ? name of St. John In Mell's "Apos telsplel." only to return to the ivutKchos theater for the last act of "The Chalked Circle," In which he beebmc the emperor of China. Carl Goetz. who also had a star part in the Salzburg Fes t lea I. plays the part of a pious grand rather in the "ApoHtelsplel" and then tnxies to "Loyalties" in which he impersonated the Itnlian wlno merchant, Hlcnrdo. Finally, lie returns to resume his grand father role. The record of these Relnhardt stars however. was surpassed lart season by the comedian, Paul Morgan, who appeared each night In ftve different theaters and- cab arets, taking a different role in each. !(Trh IKK MIX KO WITH WTIJTOIfS \ICT Berlin, Nov. 17. ?

"Mint?" "Yes, they raise a lot of it out; here. I believe this colony sup plies most of the mint to the big chewing gum manufacturers. I am sure that all the well-known 'Spearmint' flavor comes from right in here. Conditions in oth er sections of the country have driven the industry here." It Hounded exactly like an addi tional Item for that imposing list of things which North Carolina possessed supremely, an item to be put down beside the towel factor ies. the table lineu factories, the denim factories, and perhaps to be put lh the company* with Ml. Mitchell itself. It began to shape itself into the formula used ? "North Carolina raises more ininl than any other state in the union " Where Mint t'omni From Aud it belongs to Currituck ? county. Here was something that' tile expert duck shooter didn't Know about the county. He had made no mention of the vast mint , fields that nre cultivated iu thei lands that were formerly the Dis mal Swamp. By now we had drawn up before a trim white house. Mr. liagley was greeted cordially by au elderly furmVf ? with a huge gray beard. He spoke with the deep gutturals of the Teuton, Herman und Meunonlte. 1 He was very happy to have vis itors. To be suro he would show ! ? hem the mint fields, und the dis tillery where the oils were taken from the plant and reduced to the raw atato in which the Wrlg ley's buy It. Yes. they could also: see some of the oil itself. If they would come this way. All of this was said iu a language that was somewhat difficult to follow, it be ing part f.erman and part Kng llsh. or nil Kngllsh with a thick | accent of German over It.

One acre will produce several hundred dollars worth of oil. ?100 A (.it 1 1 on The stuff is Immensely valuable. After we had seeu the plant our host led us to the house.. x Ills wife met him at the door and hurled some staccato (ii'rman sen truces at him. None of us knew a word of CJerman, but the lau guuge a housewife uses when she protests against the bringing of strange visitors in It before she1 has cleaned up in the morning ts a universal language. Hut the host reassured her with n friendly poke under the chin and led us up stairs. "One bottle is vorth fife hundred dollar.'* he said, briefly. The bot tle was a five gallon glass water bottle. He had half a dozen of them stored there. He was walling cannily for the market to bo '.n greater need of mint oil. There is not much of it available In the world this year, on account of a storm and blizzard In the Middle West that killed almost the entire crop out there. This colony was established there before the war, and has be come a part of tho community in Currituck. They are good citizens, having their rucial and religious peculiarities, to be sure, but Cur rituck has been hospitable to them, and they have become au asset. Plant are being made to largely lucrease tho colony. The middle west is too cold for them, and they are prospering in the lands that used to be the IHsmal Swamp before it was drained. Mint and corn and beans are their main crops. "I'd like very much to have your picture, if you don't mind my tuk ing it," I said to the host. "With us we do not have pic tures." he said modestly. "Tak?? the fields, the still, anything you like but with us we have no pic tures of ourselves. " It Is a religious belief, I take it. The Amish are a sect of the Menonite church, established 400 years ago during the Reformation They have been In America since the beginning. particularly in Pennsylvania and Illinois aad Ohio. These migrated here front Illinois. There are several scorn , of them settled in Currituck. The company which is promoting their colgnizat Ion holds about 150,000 acres of land I hero. "So ducks are not the sole in-: dustrv in Currituck," we j?aid to Mr. Hngley when we started "Oh. no." he said. "They kill n good mnny ducks here in winter.! but relatively few of our people are concerned with It. We raise a good many potatoes down the j county toward Powells Point. You ! see this corn hero, and beans. ' [There is some very Rood farming! done lu the county. I cum more i sweet potatoes an* raised here than in any county !i# the State. It Is a right profitable Industry." Th? White C tuuut "In that all?" t "Well, yea. I guess that's all thai'.-* of much Interest to any-! body.'4 Hut Iiagle.v Is modest before he > is honest, certainly about himself. He I* a farmer who has taken a 1 small acreage a mile out of Mo-, yock. and made It pay on a differ- | ??nt basis than Is the custom of most North Carolina farmers. He raises seed for other farmers. ' lives his life In contentment and peace, and with Mr?. Bagley has h? en engaged in a search that has lured th?? grower or Carina lilies-' for generations. And he has found it. Or rather he has brought it to i pass. Cantia growers have j searched for years for some com- 1 binatlon of known sorts of the lily . that would Rive them a while can-i mi. The flower, as most people J know, runs generally to reds and : yellows, and combinations of these : colors. The experts have been ! looking through the years for a ? lighter shade, and hoping that j lame day there might come a' white one. Out there lu the middle of the 20-acre field iu front of the Dag ley house Is a row of cannas that 1 are white. It has been there three years now, with occasional rever sions to other types. It has not j b? colli'* definitely fixed as a white : cauna. or so definitely that he can honestly announce a white canna. but it is coming more and more 1 consistently white; He has hopes that years of painstaking cros? breeding has removed all the col or from it. and that it will stay white. So here Is another thing In , Currituck that may get itself a ' place in the roster of first things in North Carolina. The Bagleys raise canna?, on the scale that peo ple hereabouts raise tobacco and i cotton and corn. That field in j front of the house, the most be- 1 wilderingly brilliant sight in ? North Carolina, produces a large part of the canna lilies sold by the i florists in this part of the country. ? One of these days It will produce I llie white one they have been ! looking f?ft and it will be a fa mous field. It must have been an absorb- j ingly interesting search, and I know of no two people more splendidly lit tod with patience and intelligent.- to conduct such a search than Mr. and Mrs. Bagley. Both are college trained. Each thought to hive a different carver, but both saw distinguished service during the war. and both, for rea sons of health. were compelled to seek the country. And hen* they have made themselves a home and found Interesting work to do. And very well they have doae it. They have learned a lot about all sorts of farm crop *eed. They have contributed Improvements to types that are proving of vast benefit to farmers. And they have had the time to give themselves to Intelligent and sympathetic in terest and leadership in the com munity. Mr. iiagley was born there and he will no Oil ll\icg there. When the while canna is | established he will start looking for something else. The lily will probably carry the Currituck name. So the duck hunter was wrong about Currituck. There are uinre things there than ducks. And we were wrong about It. There is no n>?rd for a facetious phrase about whiskers whet) one can *?av that Currituck flavors the chewing gum of the world, and that it is likely to have named for it a flow er that scores of experts have been trying for a generation to develop.
