AMERICAN SINGERS OP.
PORTUNITY.
By TOWNSEND II. FELLOWS.

Are you aware Of the fact that the
income derived from the concert and
oratorio field by our first class singers
amounts TO an exceedingly large sum
Of money each year?
Do you know that many Of our sing.
ers in this field are making incomes far
in excess of those who are singing in
grand opera?
Did you ever stop to think or realize
that very many of the leading operate
artists are only too anxious TO take up
this branch of the profession, and that
for their efforts in this direction a SAL
airy of from $1,000 to $1,000 night is
a thing of everyday occurrence?
Do you know that the yearly income
of the popular concert and oratorio
artist can be placed at from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year?
The concert and oratorio field is the
inheritance of the American artist. II
YOU, American singer, really aspire to
come into the heritage that rightly be-
longs to you; if your hope is centred in
this direction, there is no reason why
Won should not attain the heights and
the income that goes with IT.
You will have to make up your mlnd
to one thing in particular, which many
of our American singers seem to have
overlooked, and that is that the aver
age American, when he or she goes to
concert. would like to hear songs sung
in the English language by singers who
thoroughly understand English dietion.
Many Of our singers seem to think
that the English language is not good
enough TO sing in; that it is necessary
for them to exploit the French. German
or Italian, possibly the Russian Ian
guage, upon an audience Of Americans.
This may satisfy the singer. but; with
few exceptions, the listeners are bored.
though too polite to say anything
Be an American. II you are IN
France, sing in French; in Germany,
sing in German; in Italy, sing in ltsl-
ian. But if you want to make nams
for yourself in the hearts Of the pe CO.
ple sing in the language Of the country
in which you were born, and show that
you are able to take your place at the
top.

Enthusiasm counts for good deal.
It is a contagious disease. Let the
man at the helm be enthusiastic over
the work and the effect is bound to be
electric; results are more easily gained
and the work will be done cheerfully
and without complaint.
The organist who looks for results
must allow ample time for preparation

the music, arranging the programs,
keeping the library in order, all re-
auire time, and for these he is re-
sponsible. The voluntaries should each

SAVE TROUBLE BY
SEEING ASSESSOR
Must List Your Personal
Property by Saturday
to Avoid Penalty.

There isn't minute that County
Assessor X. Il. Curran and his corps
of deputies are not busy these days
waiting on the crowds that come to
the office to list their personal prop
erty and real estate improvements
Saturday is the last day that 1t Will
be possible to list your property un-
less you pay "A heavy penalty.
An unusually large number OF cit
izens, who have not time to call at
the assessors office, have obtained
blanks which they have filled out
and mailed. Only in extreme eases Is
this method pursued but ii will be
permitted until Saturday No lists
received bearing postmark later
than II p. m. Saturday night will be
preserved and the sender will have
TO pay the penalty.
One clause of the new law which
has occasioned some comment Is the
listing of electric driven vehicles.
Electric cars must be listed with the
assessor for taxation, but automo-
biles are taxed by the state.
Assessor Curran has left nothing
undone to notify citizens to list their
property with him. Much publicity
has been given regarding the new
method of assessing and several hun
dred postal cards have been mailed
to the rural districts warning all to
call before the penalty goes on

CAREFUL SELECTION OF SEED
Best Plan Is to O5tain Supply From
Fields in FaIl-Change Varieties
If Not Satisfied.

How about your supply Of corn and
cottonseed for planting? The best
thing to do, of course, is to select our
own seed in the field, but If this was
not done last fall and if we are not
satisfied with the varieties we are
now using, it will probably pay to
make change.
In this case we would suggest writ.
ing to your state experiment station
and asking for list of the varieties
that have done best and that will
probably be best suited to your con-
ditions. Then when a good variety
has been settled on, see to it that it is
kept good by careful selection,-The

Every day at this season brings

being heavy will, when iuclosed in an
