Motor trucks would save many dol

 great deal of delivering of freight to the farmers and could collect and
 bring to town the products of the farms, says the Woman's National Weekly. Farmers can make no bet ter investment than in building the very best roads they can. This is 2 motor age, and not an ox-wagon era consequently the highways must be to hold up vehicles with heavy loads. A

 ROSPERITY
THE CAREER OF A GRAND OPERA
 SINGER.

One of the great figures of the musical world, Madame Lillian Nor dica, has just passed away. As the world sees her life, it was a scene of cheering audiences, dignified by the praise of the severest critics. For tho place which she occupied thou sand young women are striving. The laborious effort, the sacrifices by which she reached success, are not realized.
 There is something pathetic in the fruitless effort which host of sing CTS are making to attain success of this kind. Every city of any size has number of voices which i'i some respects can be compared with the great operatic stars. But fo. every one that makes a large sue cess, whole regiment is turned down. The same old names appear year after year at the big opera houses. It seems cruel to encourage young people to enter field where so few attain the ends they are work ing for.
 The public is very whimsical It is not enough that singer have vo- cal cords producing organ tones, mellow and rounded, capable of fill ing a great auditorium. It is not enough that these be trained to the limit of graceful flexibility. A singer must also possess gifts of enchant ing viyacity, throwing the spell of her vivacious and winning personali- ty over the audience
 To become great singer a girl ought to be under the hands of d teacher by the time she is nine years old She must be prac- ticing trills while her comrades are dancing. She must have a robust body capable of living in drafty sleeping cars, and eating the indi- gestible food of hotels. And she must Ie backed by thousands of dollars, to place her in the best musical schools.
 It is a great responsibility to en- those who have real gifts, but fall just little short, to try the dizzy path to this kind of sue cess. Better the simpler pleasures and moro certain rewards of the church choir and the friendly musi- cal circles of home.
