Through the great opera houses In
New York and Chicago are wrapped
in midsummer silence, feverish man.
agerial activity is going on behind
the scenes. 1t il hard for the public
TO appreciate the long and difficult
task Of engaging next seasons sing
ers and arranging the repertoire.
This work, however, y now largely
completed and we may soon expect
the impresarios to divulge some OF
their jealousy guarded plans.
An interesting feature OF the COM
ing operate program. and one OF
which no secret Is being made. Is that
both the Metropolitan and the Chi
cago Opera companies will include a
much greater number Of American
The list at the Metropolitan Includes
Florence Easton. Geraldine Farrar,
Anna Case. Mabel Garrison. Vera

The idea that foreign name and
foreign fame are necessary to must
cal success has long been frowned
upon by many Americans and Is now
proving quite untenable. The Italian
ization Of names that once was the
fashion is rapidly dying away. and
many Of our singers who did adopt
foreign names are now changing
them back to their original forms
Thus Edouardo di Giovanni Is once
more Edward Johnson. and Carlo
Hackett is plain Charles Hackett
Henry Scott shows his good sense in
not caring to sail under the borrowed
colors of Enrico Scotti and Thomas
Chalmers gets along as well with his
own cognomen as he would with
Tomasi Cialmero.

RICH PHOSPHATFS WERE
 FORMED BY VOLCANO

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Dec. 24.-The Island of Makatea, northeast of Ta- hiti, where operations on the rich phosphate deposits have been held up by a strike of Japanese workers is said by scientists to be founded on submarine volcano, gases from which developed the phosphates.
 The volcanic mountain has partly erupted but has never succeeded in breaking out flow of lava, it is said. Originally the island was 9 coral atoll, standing at the level Of the sta, a ring of limestone forma tion surrounding the central la goOn.
 This, by volcanic action has been raised and lowered several times. Now it stands flat-topped plateau three hundred feet above the level of the sea, sloping down toward the central basin Of the ancient la go0n.

INTERESTING STORY
 OF RAZOR CLANS FROM ONE WHO KNOWS THEM
P. F. Halferty of the Cordova Clam Factory Who is Known Here Tells About Succulent
 Bivalve

D. J. Halferty and P. F. Halferty operate a clam factory at Cordova The latter has manned a seine boat in Southeastern Alaska. Recently an outside paper printed an illustrated page of pictures and an article from P. F. Halferty telling of the habits of razor clans, from which the fol lowing extracts are taken.
 Work Out to Sea
 Starting at the, lower side of the 'spat' belt the size of clams steadily graduates larger as one approaches low water. where the remarkable ones are always found. Marketable clans are never found on the spat belt, neither is spat found at low water.
 coupled with known facts. lead to the belief that when the tide is high the 'spat" slowly work their way seaward from the propa gating belt beneath the sand hy the same means If locomotion by which they disap- Dear in the sand: thus by easy stages they arrive at low tide in about one year. when they are of marketable size.
 It must be understood that shOuli they come out and the sand to mi srate, their numerous enemies would testroy them. Thus every year the propa gating belt is vacant to receive spawn the following June.
 It is my opinion that razor clans spend the prime of their life at or near low water, and that when age comes on and natural death ap. breaches they work their way into the sea beyond the breakers. burrow deep in the sand and there die. buried where the breakers will never wash them out. It seems to be the in stinct of all animate creatures to hide away when the time comes and die alone.
 The theory that clans do pass on into the sea is more evident when we know that clam diggers very seldom dig up dead clam or empty shell. Comparatively few empty shells are found on the beach. when we con sider the myriads which must die q natural death. We notice the same lev with tho bird family. dead one is seldom found. they hide away.
 As late as 1903 the. sea otter hunt ters near Oyhht, with powerful glasses. often saw sea otter eating large razor clans as they foated on their backs holding the clam on their breasts With their fiaDpers. l considerable above argument conclu- sive evidence that there are millions of clans in the sea beyond low water
 All varieties of clans are c1lled bivales. because they have two aper- lures in their neck with balYe, or stop cock, at the outer end of each Clans have the power 10 ornn and close these valves alternately; by opening one and c.osine the other ond expanding their shells they suck air from above and by compression of their shells they force sand above them with great rap.di.y.
 They are q perfect purpn: in fact our hydraulc pump might be consid cred an infringement Of the clans patent. Their pump:ne apparatus is one means of their loccnotion and livelihood Thus they obtain food and at the same time dredge it above them. the force of which settles their shell into tho excavation.

NEW ERA FOR
BUSY DIXIE
Permanent Prosperity for the South
Which Has Turned From One
Crop to Diversified
Farming.
[Dy United Press.l

ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. IA new
day is dawning for~Dixie, bringing as
surances of permanent prosperity and
completion OF development work now
under way, according to the agricul-
tural and industrial life of the south.
The south is enjoying unprecedent-
ed prosperity, but it will not stop short
of permanent prosperity and complete
development Of it's varied resources. +,
With banks filled with money, easily
obtained at good rates for sound pro
jects; with industry stabilized; with
agricultural interests on a firmer and
more diversified basis: with the num-
Der of unemployed negligible. and with
capital and labor at peace, everybody
south Of the Mason and Dixon line is
working with one object-to complete
the DEVELOPMENT of Dixieland there
by ins,,ring lasting prosperity.
Optimism, based ON progress made
witi.in the last few years and on ex-
cellent prospects for continuing devel-
opment work, prevails throughout the
south.
The industrial :. and agricultural
southland of today is as different from
the south of a few years ago as expert
enced men in these lines can make It.
Considered from purely monetary
standpoint the war was worth billions
of dollars to the southeast, business
men point out.
Much money was spent locally In
construction of war camps and plants;
through acquisition of government Sc
curities by the people, and through de-
velopment of idle and waste lands.
Agricultural reforms, adopted be-

TO MAKE FUNDS MOBILE
It Will Relieve Pressure on General
Fund Which Bears Burden and
Can Not Now be Help
by Other Funds.

| Many Iowa cities find themselves
badly handicapped by regulating stat
! utes, some of which became laws Ions
! ago when conditions were very differ
ent from these latter days.
For one thing, taxes are levied fol
certain funds, and each fund has Its
maximum limit and stands by itself
If there Is a big balance in one fund
| it may not be used to pay the needs OF
another fund, however depleted the
latter may be.
Here in Keokuk, as in other cities
the general fund, which pays the bills
not belonging to any special fund, and
all the emergency and special expenses
Of the city, is at a low stage, while
some other funds have good balances
in them.
keokuk Drafts a Remedled Bill.
City Attorney Ddckey drew bill to
relieve the situation by allowing tho
| city to increase its tax levy from a
maximum of ten mills, to a maximum
Of fifteen mills for the general fund.
This bill was sent to Representative
Oertel and to Senator Frailey with .
request from the city council that they
introduce it and have it passed It
would not necessariallyf increase the
total taxes as other funds could be
lowered.
Another factor which this bill would
relieve Is the greatly increased cost
of everything now, as compared with
the last century when the limit was
rfixed by the legislature. Now, given
levy will buy and build only about half
as much when the state law was en-
acted.
The bill drawn here is now held up
by another bill introduced from an
other Iowa city allowing city councils
to switch money in the treasury from
one fund to another, whenever this Is
needed This will help out here as in
other cities.
