Every other nation except Great
Britain that has opera at all has it in
it's native tongue. France, Spain,
Italy, Germany and even Russia have
the masterpieces of music sung in
words Ineligible to the people that
hear them. Only we that speak Eng
lish are content to listen to songs We
do not understand and to follow emo
lions that might as well be rendered
in pantomime. The assertion that
English is not singing language was
born either of ignorance or of impu-
dence, says the New York World. Our
language contains some of the most
beautiful songs in the world, and some
of the greatest of singers have delight
ed to render them. Any opera singer
could surely learn to sing English az
easily as Russian.

GOOD PROFITS IN
RAISING POPCORN
Crop Should Be Cultivated and
Cared for in Same Manner
as Other Corn. -

With popcorn so popular an article
of consumption as it is, there is no
farm in any portion of the corn belt
that should not grow a patch to sup
ply the family needs. Popcorn will
do well on any land that will produce
a good crop of corn.
1t should be cultivated and cared
for in the same general manner as
corn, though it may be planted more
closely. 1t ripens in about 100 days.
and it should be shocked at soon as it
is ripe, so that it will dry out well be-
fore husking. 1t will produce from 50
to 60 bushels of ears with a good
stand, and this will fetch from 81 to
81 per bushel.

sPoONINc a FINE ART.


Spooning, by which is meant tina:
form of affection described by the sage
Noah Webster as acting with dem
Onstrative or foolish fondness," has
been placed upon solid and respon-
sible basis in the Lynn high school.
Books on etiquette for the young usu-
ally deprecate spooning, or omit to
mention It at all, but in this high
school boys and girls who desire to
spoon have merely to get a permit
from their parents. To be more ex.
plicit, the principal of the school, oh
serving some mushy scenes In the cor
Fidors of the building, recently an
nounced that public lovemaking must
stop: but he added that pupils desir-
ing to spoon must bring written per-
mission from their parents. Spooning
thus is reduced to practical work
ing basis, says the Boston Globe. II
you produce the parental permit, pre-
sumably you may spoon. So girls who
like spooning, and evidently there are
some in Lynn who do, must produce
their permit or go unloved. Nam
ma, you haven't made me out spoon
Ing permit yet" may be heard in the
homes of Mary. Margaret and Estelle.
while in another part of the city, Paul,
Henry and Oswald are saying, "Pa,
just sign this spooning permit, before
you go downtown" When the per-
mits are issued and have been o. KID
by the principal, there will be an op-
portunity for organized labor to estab-
lish Spooners' Union No. 1 in Lynn.

found that several persons in the

certain, since America has been

the Monroe Doctrine has lost some
