MISS JULIA HEINRICH TO SING
HERE SEPT 16.

Frank Patecek will! present Miss
Julia Heinrich, mezzo-soprano Of the
Metropolitan Opera Company and
Miss Lucille Callette, violinist, in a
recital at the high school auditorium
on Tuesday, September 16, 1919.
Miss Heinrich was born in Phila-
delphia. She made her debut on the
American concert. stage and then
went abroad to .study opera. She
made her operatif debut abroad and
subsequently obtained considerable
prominence in operate circles there.
At the beginning of the European
war she returnedsto america. Since
her Metropolitan season she has be-
come one of the leading American
concert singers ard her engagements
have made her khown from coast to
coast. Her we'll deserved success on
the concert platform is due to an un-
usually sympathetic voice of delight
full quality combined with a sound
musicianship and deep sympathy for
the things in life which really count.
The fact that Miss Heinrich is to
be assisted by Miss Callette lends
added interest to the event.
Miss Callette, vtolinist, Ia an artist
who has made many friends among
discriminating music lovers for her
sincere musicianship and unusual
ability. .
There are Indications that some
thing out of the ordinary will be
heard at this recital although Frank
Patecek refuses to divulge just what
it is. The reporter has his sus-
picions. II they are correct those
who attend are apt to have very
pleasant surpirse.

l understand the Government is
going after the champagne trust
Pm sure It will be fizZle. Why
don't they go after the soda foun-
tains and see what they are charged
with. Look at the corkscrew busi-
ness-i:'s crooked. Profiteers tell
us that the trusts made this country
what it is today, and that's just
what the people are kicking about
now The retailer says we should
go after the money power We are
all after it with all our power.
The lack OF money Is our own
fault. When the oil trust raises
the price OF oil, we make light of it.
of riding we called it fare.
The serious problem that Is facing
the people all over the world today
is the high cost Of living. There Is
such a scarcity of food that every
civilized country is willing to so to
war for piece of Turkey. Well, IL
the price of grub keeps rising the
first thing we know we will have to
go up in an aeroplane whenever we
get hungry

free country, that every American
citizen has chance to be presi-
dent-except Bryan.
Look at the English when they
tried TO take the Dardenelles-no-
body knew what 1t was-they didn't
know whether it was some kind Of
medicine OF a disease.
A great many people tell US that
the coul try is more prosperous now
than ever. They say look at all the
automobiles you see running up and
down tho streets, and you don't see
any where near the number OF poor
people on the street that you used to.
That's ell very true; but half the
poor people have been run over and
the other half are afraid to come
out.

With the high cost of everything I
consider it an impossibility. Look
how the price of everything has been
raised. When our ancestors want

an animals skin. Now II you buy
suit you get skinned.
Did you ever stop to think how
our forefathers struggled to settle
this country? They travelled miles
and miles in order to get place to
settle. know some people that
travel miles and miles so they wont
have to settle.

the only place for poor people to live
is at the North Pole, where they

A man has to work very hard to

BOY SCOUTS.

A reporter from The Farmer visit
ed Camp Cudlipp at Sulphur Springs
and found the camp in excellent or.
der and the Scouts taking dip in
the river or at rest IN the camp.
They MADE an inspection trip to the
various places of interest in Coving-
ton, Saturday. The camp is now
composed of Troops "a and 81. To-
day the Scouts will play with st.
Pauls at the stadium. Thursday and
Friday they made a Scout test for
advancement.
1t is quite interesting to watch
the Scouts at their various amuse-
ments aud games. Among them Is
milking the cow, war horse, tossing
the blanket, wrestling (and blythe
way, they pull of some pretty fine
wrestling bouts sometimes), mock
court martial and bugling.
1t is noteworthy thai there have
been 10 accidents since they have
been in the camp. 1t may astonish
some to learn that Notwithstanding
the camp is right on tie river mos
quito bars have not been in use.
The boys say they are mot troubled
with them. The only precaution
aiken is an occasional use Of Mackie's
Pine Oil, just to get good Whit of 1t
Scoutmaster B. D. Fowler is de-
lighted with the camp &nd with Cow
ington in general. Bbth he and
Friend E. Hoyt were 5utspoken In
their praise and appreciation of the
attention shown the Sceats and wish
ed especially to thank the people.
Executive Hoyt announced that
the Scouts would be hefe again next

RIVERSIDE DRIVE.

Mr.. Walter Jahncke has given a
beautiful shelled drive to aftomo-
bilists i'll the grounds surrounding
his beautiful country home, snown
as Riverside Drive. This hiss al
ways been one of the prettiest drives
to be found any where. Bistmore
itself can offer nothing as pretty in
scenery. Under the new arrange
ment autos take one course pDinted
out by arrows, and 90 not pass each
other as in the old drive. This adds
several miles to the drive over a
picturesque course OF shell road and
bridges, and is greatly appreciated

Commission for immediate consid-
Grafton:
We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of the First Ward, beg
leave to call attention to the condi-
ton OF what is known as the Turn
pike Read, in the Goodbee neigh
borhood.
The road has. never been worked,
is in bad condition, and parts of it
completely covered or inundated by
water. The road-bed is several
inches lower than the surface of the
surrounding land which causes it to
be more Of a drainage canal than
a road.
We respectfully request that you
give this matter early attention, and
have the road-bed raised and graded
above the water line.
This road is much needed and
much travelled by the citizens of that
country, and Is one of the Oldest
roads in the parish.
Respectfully,
E. F, FUHRMA
And Others.
