Contrasting Emotions Expressed by Geraldine Farrar Two
Scenes from her Secoad Photoplay Temptation"

Caruso had kept out of sight of Il.
audience and no one had seen him, be-
lievi1g, IS usual the aria had been sung
by another. Caruso himself enjoyed the
prank more than any other member of
the company.
In one of the scenes in Temptation
Miss Earrar, as Renee, having achieved
success opera, is suspended from TIL
company through the Vaccinations ofhC,
employer fuller. She return. the follow
ing dayand while standing outside h i'm
presario' office, the wardrobe mistress
passes taking Renee: costumes to the
-toreroom. The singer, filled with disap-
pointment rushes over and srasps her
costumes in her arms. "None shall wear
the gowns in which I had my hour OF
.uccess," she cries. This incident is
taken also from an actual happening at
ono OF the Big American opera houses.
The appearance of Miss Farrar In a
role which, IN certain minor respects,
touches on her own wonderful career in
grand opera, is matter of more than
passing interest. Miss Farrar, more often
than my other American artistic
has been asl:.d to rive advice to
young women who would choose all

donna is not authority for the state
ment, Temptation" is said TO contain
in no uncertain fashion, ;. striking and
truthful warning to those who would
seek fame and fortune in grand opera.

YEAR FOR
ADVERTISERS
SAYS RANKIN
Business is Now Booming and
Will Be Won by
Publicity.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Nineteen hun
bred and fifteen will pass into history
as an unusual year-as year of big
business, according to William H. Ran
kin, vice president Of the Mabin Adj
vertising Company. During the early
months of the year business was not
good, he says. Nearly everybody was
pessimistic. War orders helped little,
but, taking it altogether, business for
the first six months Of 1915 was far
behind the corresponding period OF
1914.
Early in the summer favorable crop
reports were received from the North
west, the Central Yves; and the South.
The harvest was much later than
usual, but the general result was
splendid.
Nevertheless, general gloominess
continued. The weather was bad, dip
lomatic complications were threat
ened, and capital was disposed to be
timid.
Sudden Change.
After depressing August theer was
a sudden change for the better. In Sep
TENDER the wheels of commerce began
to revolve once more, the pessimists
ran for cover, and the optimists, after
having had an enforced vacation ex-
tending over two or three years, were
back on the job. Business became
good, healthy conditions were restored,
the fog Of doubt lifted.
One of the big reasons for the en-
couraging change was the improve
ment of conditions in the South.
The Simmons Hardware Company,
ofSt. Louis, reported that after having
had practically no southern business
in August, trade in the South was
nearly normal in September, while in
October, business everywhere, North,
South, East and West, exceeded not
only that of 1914 but went ahead of
he banner year, 1913, before the war;
Good for Six Months.
Representatives Of such houses as
Marshall Field and Company, The
Royal Typewriter Company, the B. F.
Goodrich Company, Haynes Automo-
bile Company and Hart, Schaffner and
Marx say that business has been so
good during the last six months that
they will not only show large in
crease over the corresponding six
months of 1914, but that they will be

is a comaraderic among them, and il
the community OF artists the interests
of one is for all and all for one.
The change in Rcnees fortunes and
her opportunity to become grand opera
singer are based on events which took
place several years ago in New York,
and the young woman whom Renee TYPE
fics in this experience has since become
famous light opera star.
In order that she should have the
funds to continue her music study Renee
sings in a restaurant which is noted
particularly for its fine music and good
food. 1t is the gathering place Of noted
singers and stars. One evening Muller,
the impresario of the grand opera COM
pany, and Nine. Masof, his fayorite at
the time, hear Renee sing in the restau-
rant. Muller sends for her, compliments
her and invites her to report to him
at the opera house the following morn
ing for trial. This actually was the
manner in which now famous singer
made her start before the public.
In this connection IN interesting story
is told of appening which took place
two years ago a. the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York. For . long time it
was commonly expressed oplion that
the audience applaudcd Caruso enthusi-
astically only because of his remarkable
reputation as singer.
The famous tenor, as is his custom,
met all these remarks with silence. One
night at a performance of "Pagliacci,"
when he was in particularly fine voice,
he aroused the audience to the highest
enthusiasm with his singing. At the
end OF the first part of the opera he
was recalled again and again.
THERE is passage when the other
tenor of the cast sings an aria
= "otf stage" or in the wings. Ca
russo, for a prank, substituted himself
for the other singer and rendered the
aria magnifcently. At Its conclusion
there was only ripple of applause.

4 FORD ON A STATE HIGHWAY

In Washington county, Utah. where the topography Is rugged. the popula ton seanty and scattered. and the money available for road building is very limited. masonry ford has been built on state highway instead of a bridge. The stream crossed in this way has sandy bed. which is dry during q considerable part of the year A bridge would be expensive in itself and require expensive embankments for the approaches to it. The ford Is lS0 feet long including the l0 per cent grade running down from the roadway at each end to the sub merged portion. IL was built by con- structing along the upstream line of the crossing wall Of large dry stone 2 feet wide and feet deep, with it's top level with the stream bed This
 was laid without mortar, but a mass Of clay Is inches thick was rammed against the full depth and length of
 tho upstream face A wall of the
 same dimensions but laid in lime nor tar was constructed parellel with it
 l6 feet downstream. The sand be-
 tween these walls was then dug out 70
 a depth of 2 feet and replaced with rough rock laid in a dense mixture of sand and clay. In this way 20- foot stone roadway not likely to he undermined by any floods, rough enough to give a good footing for | horses but not so rough as to offer any obstacle to the passage of vehic les. has been constructed at low cost. Heretofore the sandy character
 of the ford made it very tre1cherous during floods.

 Members of the squad subscribed personally to a fund with which a diamond pin was purchased. All off cers were instructed to take the num- Der of each car driven by a woman. which passed their posts and to esti- mate, on a percentage basis. the eff ciency of the driver
 At the end of the month from ap- proximately three thousand woman drivers. the numbers of whose cars had been recorded, Mis- Helen O'Shea was awarded the prize, having been accorded one hundred per cent thirty two times, and having no violations of ordinances charged against her.

SHEEP VALUABLE ON
 EVERY SMALL FARM

Every farmer should keep a small flock of sheep. They cost little for feed, for they act as weed scavengers. and grow into marketable products at an early age. Small flocks upon every irrigated farm will become more pop ular, for it is on such farms in the southwest that maximum results may be obtained. There are also many waste places on farms which may be utilized for sheep production. Anoth- CT advantage of sheep is that they re- qure little labor. They come as near solving the hired help problem" as any other kind of mixed farming Lambs milk the ewes at somewhat regular intervals and they separate the milk and store away the product without the use of cans or refrigera- ton. When a farmer sees a bulge on his side of the market, the kind hearted and industrious lambs are asked to trot to market carrying all the milk and worry with them. It is like finding money. for the sheep have paid their way in wool fertilizer, and in the destruction of weeds.-Dr. K. II. Williams. Animal Husbandman, University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station.
