Miss Mamie Abel Hays, Soprano
Says Every City Soon Will
Have Its Classic Singers

That Atlanta soon will have a
grand opera company of it's own is
the prophecy of Miss Mamie Abel
Hays, coloratura soprano, who has
just completed a three years study
for the operate stage in New York
and now is spending a short vacation
with her parents at 65S Edgewood
Avenue.
The day of American opera is just
dawning," said Miss Hays at her
home Monday afternoon. There is
more and more demand for American
operas with American singers, and l
believe the time viii come, and soon,
that every city in the United States
will have its grand opera.
Every Town Has Company.
"In Germany and other European
countries, almost every town and city
has a municipal opera house and
local opera company. The American
people are more brOadened in their
tastes each year. 1t is only matter
Of a short time until they viii demand
classic music, and when they do they
will get it.
Il think the main thing necessary
10 making success, next 10 the
voice is the opportunity to make
good. Many singers, after spending
years in studying, take the first en-
gagement that is offered them. And
the majority of them spend the rest
of their lives singing small parts.
Foreign Trade mark Useless.
Competition has entered the OPP
cratic field. There are three grand
opera companies in New York, and
the formation of more is contem-
plated. 1t is no longer necessary for
the American singers to go abroad to
make their debut for the American
people are getting educated out OF
their habit Of looking up to every
thing that is foreign or that has made
a success abroad.
q think We have as good teachers
in America as abroad, and those with
ambitions to be singers truly make a
mistake if they go abroad to study,
unless they have at least prepared
here"
Miss Hays has been engaged by
the Central Congregational Church of
Atlanta for the summer. She will
also do some concert work in and
around Atlanta before returning to
New York in the fall

said the New York newspapers early this

THE 1912 apple crop in the United
States was -. 600. 900 barrels-far above
IN, average, say the experts whose
business il is 10 know.
If the last two statements are true,
why is il necessary for New Workers to
pay five cents each for apples that he
considers fit TO eat, and why must he
pay from 10 to 20 cents a quart for
apples with which to cook?
The cost of apples to the human race
always has been high, ever since the
days Of Adam. But in Adams case it
was not the initial cost that was great.
His apple was cheap enough when he
first acquired it. The high cost came
later. So in our childhood days we often
paid dearly for apples. They were to be
procured, at least by those of US who
lived in the country, for nothing more
than the trouble of picking them off the
trees or the ground, or perhaps at the
expense of the delicious danger of raid
ing Farmer Jones orchard. Then, as
in the case of Adam, the high cost came
later. Tie apples may have been green
or Farmer Jones may have discovered
who robbed his orchard.

THE EXCUSES T HEY GIVE.

Perhaps the reasons given by the job
Der are more worthy of attention than
those of the others. He sees both ends.
He knows the apple game from the
standpoint of the grower and from the
standpoint of the retailer. He stands in
the middle, buying from one and selling
to the other and it is his business to
know. THE high retail price of apples, I"
said one of the largest jobbers in New
York, sis 80 per cent the fault of the
retailer and the consumer. The retailer
is to blame for charging such high prices.
The consumer is to blame for permitting
himself to be cheated and paying them.
For some unexplained reason the con-
sumner prefers box apples. by that
mean apples that are shipped in boxes
instead of in barrels. don't know why
unless it is because they look better in a
box than in a barrel. Practically all of
the box apples come from the West
from Oregon, Washington and Califor-
MIA. These are the apples that are polish
ed up by the retailer and placed on the
stand at five cents each. His profit on
these is from 300 to 400 per cent. A box
contains from 100 to $50 apples, accord
ing to the size of the fruit. The retailer
can go down to the market and buy them
for SIPS or $3.50 cents box, or approx

ton for the hotel man is extremely hazy.
The Republican journal., 1913-02-06

But today the high cost comes before
we eat the apple. not afterwards.
The retail price of apples seems out OF
all reason and gives rise to the queries:
Why is the price so high?
Is such a high price necessary or JUST
fed?
The condquestion is easily answered:
1t is not. The first question may be an
swered in many ways. The trend of the
answer depends upon the attitude of the
person Of whom the question is asked.
The apple, in its brief career, is owned
by four classes:
First-The farmer who grows it.
Second-The jobber, or middleman,
who buys from the farmer.
Third-The retailer, who buys from
the jobber.
Fourth-The consumer, who buys from
the retailer.
Each of these, except perhaps the con-
sumner, who pays the highest price, has
his own explanation of the high cost.
The farmer blames the jobber, who re-
fuses to pay as much as the grower
thinks his product is worth The jobber
blames the farmer for his obstinacy in
holding his apples for higher price in a
year when the crop is enormous; he
blau es the retailer for his greed in
charging more than he should; and he
blames the poor consumer for being
Ignorant Of market prices and paying
whatever is asked without question The
retailer blames the railroads for high
freight rates which he must pay in the
end, and he blames the farmer for pack
ing good apples only at the top and bot
tom of the barrel and filling the middle
with cuIls so that he, the retailer, must
charge more for the good ones to make
up for the lower price for which he must
sell the poorer ones. The ultimate con-
sumner and ultimate loser does not know
on whom he can fasten the blame. He
only knows that he is charged an out
rageous price.
The Republican journal., 1913-02-06
THE BOX SUPERSTITION.

The consumer makes another grave
mistake besides that of paying the high
price asked by the retailer without pro-
test. That is in believing that, because
apples are packed in box, they are
better than those packed in barrels.
As matter of fact, in great many
instances the reverse is true. In the
first place, the box apples are shipped
all the way across the country and are
likely to arrive in worse condition than
those shipped from New York or neigh
BORN. States. Anothe thing is that,
although the famous Hood River and
other apples from Oregon and other
parts of the Pacific coast are pretter to
look az, they seldom taste as well as
those grown nearer home. OF course.
apples carefully packed in layers with
the best-looking side up and polished
after the box is opened, are good to
look upon. much better than apples
dunn ped into barrel and not rubbed at
all. But bite into one. The Western
apple is likely to be rather fiavorless.
The great majority of varieties of East
ern apples are neither.
Not so many years ago in New Eng
land the greening apple was considered
about as good for eating as any apple
could be. In New ork, when one asks
for cooking apples they are given
greetings.
The average city person seems to
think that an apple is not good enough to
eat raw unless it is red. He does not
seem to understand that an apple can be
green in color and still be ripe and de-
licious. He wants the rosy checked
apple" he has read about, and nothing
else will do, whereas, if he only knew,
he could buy for fifteen and perhaps ten
cents quart just as good apples to eat
and in many cases better-as those for
which he pays three, four or five cents
each.
So it would seem that the high cost of
this fruit is due to:
The poor business methods of the
retailer.
The obstinacy of the farmer.
The ignorance and Indifference of the
consumer.
The Republican journal., 1913-02-06
THE RETAILERS PLEA.

But-listen to the retailer. He, let
him tell it, is the most abused man con-
nected with the apple trade. lie makes
no money; the jobber gets it all and then
lies about him. Here is the consensus of
the indignant statements of a dozen
retail dealers:
"We pay the freight-in more WAYS
than one. The farmer sells his apples
to the jobber and gets his money. That
is the end of him. The jobber ships the
apples to New York and the railroads
charge eXtortionate rates to carry them.
The jobber doesn't pay the freight; we
pay it. He adds that to the price he
charges Us.
''Then, we have to take the apples as
they come. The top of barrel of
apples a ways looks good. So does the
bottom, because the farmer has learned
that barrel may be opened at the bot
tom. But in the middle all kinds of
fruit are thrown. Suppose we do charge
Is and 20 cents quart for the best
barrel apples; we fad a lot in every
barrel that we can hardly give away and
we don't propose to lose money on the
entire barrel
another thing: When the jobber saws
that we get IS quarts or even 70 quarts
out OF barrel of apples he is crazy or
telling deliberately what he knows is not
true: There may be Sc quarts of c-an-
berries or beans in barrel, but not
apples. If we get so quarts out of u
barrel of apples we think we are doing
well and it takes very careful measuring
to 90 that. The average is nearer 40.
Besides that, we take the chance of part
OF the apples spelling befo e we can sell
them.
IF, after we have paid So for barrel
Of apples and rs cents-not SO cents-ex-
pressage, we could sell forty quarts at
Is cents quart, we wouldn't say a
word. But we can't. There are no
barrel apples in the market which run
uniformly good all the way through and
we cannot get the same price for the
poor ones as for the good ones. Our
average profit on barrel of apples for
which we pay So is about 81, and we
think we are lucky to get that.
