COLISEUM

Italy's foremost operate compo-
ser, Puceini, has introduced Ameri-
can characters or an American
background into two OF his operas
Madame Butterfly and The Girl
OF the Golden West" In 'LOracolo"
France Leoni has also chosen a sub
tect with an American background.
and this striking little opera will be
played by Antonio Scott during his
visit y the Scott Grand opera Co.,
on its second tour with a greatly
enlarged repertory and list OF ar
lists, which will appear here at the
Coliseum Monday evening.
'L'Cracolo" IS based on c. 3. Fer
maids play The Cat and the Cher
ub," which a few years ago held
New York and London audiences
enthralled by IFS strange fascins ton.
True, the characters are not Ameri-
can, but the play r. by an American
and the scene f. laid IN the Chinese
purlieus OF San Francisco. giving
opportunity for picturesque setting
and costumes which IS fully svailed
OF But this IS less important than
the opportunities afforded Antonio
Scott 20 enact a role in which his
real genius as an actor and a master
OF the art OF makeup ia fully man
ifested. There are few parts IN the
operate repertory so luridly fascin-
ating as Chin Fang. rascally owner
Of an opium den and malignant
murderer, who after Turing the child
Of an enemy % destruction is stran-
gled with his own pigtan. This scene
and the one which follows, where
Chin Fang after suffering his just
fate is propped up as alive in order
20 deceive a passing policeman. IS
extraordinarily thrilling. Mr.. Scotti
brings all his great powers TO bear
on a memorable impersonation.
The interest Of "L'Oracolo" does
not lie merely In the piece as a We
hicle for acting. Leonis music is
characteristically dramatic and ex-
pressive. and while the Chinese
idfom is not over-insisted upons
clever use is made OF Oriental color
in the Instrumentation and musical
phrases, and the score pleases alike
the cultivated nearer and the train
CLOVIS with color, and apart from
Scottfs engrossing and thrilling per-
Torrance there IS not a dull moment
life In the Chinese Quarter being
wildly reproduced in the scenic en-
vironment and accessories as well
as in the singing and acting. Being
in one act, 'B'Oracolo" is given in
conjunction with either ''Cavalleria
Rusticana" or "Pagliacci," IN order
20 vary the usual rule OF playing
those operas together.
The composer Of 'B'Oracolo" is
an Italian living IN London. where
he has composed several operas in
GLIDING another with an American
back ground. RIP Van Wrinkle" and
several successful songs.

MONTANA CONFERENCE
FOR WOMEN VOTERS
Prominent Speakers of National Rep
utation in Attendance, and Perma-
nent League Effected.

The League of Women Voters, which
has been in conference in Great Falls
during the latter part of. last week
and the fore part of this week, has
proved to be a great educational up
lift to those who have been in attend
ance. Speakers of national reputa-
ton have taken part in the program,
and the meeting has been an enthus-
iastic one.
Mrs. James Paige of Minneapolis,
regional director for the League of
Women Voters, in an address before
a gathering held in the First Congre-
gational church on Sunday. outlined in
a stirring address the aim and .pur-
pose of the organization.
The League Of Woman Voters, she
said, has members from all of the po-
litical parties in the country, but is
absolutely without partisanship. The
league uses only the best planks from
the platforms of all parties, and aims
to create popular opinion and guide
the country to better government.
The slogan Of the church council Of
the league, which has been organized
to cooperate with the women of the
churches of all denominations, is, "Ev-
cry Voter a Christian, and Every
Christian a VOTER" said Mrs. Paige.
The organization of a citizenship
course, to be made available for ev-
cry church in the country, and a
speakers bureau, from which speakers
and information may be obtained by
churches for political education, was
announced by the speaker. She. said
that in other states the citizenship
course was already under way, and
that by fall it would be available here,
with a branch of the speakers bur-
eau in this city.
"With the radical and even revolu-
tionary forces that are in this coun-
try today, we need to train the young
especially, who still have their
vision to know Christian politics.
They are needed as stabilizers. Now
is just the time that all the women
are needed, and there is no better place
for the beginning Of legislation and

GIVE THE STORAGE BAT
Terry A SQUARE DEAL

A young woman drove her car into
the Prest-O-Lite service station of
Magruder Motor Co. yesterday morn
ing to have her battery tested. While
the attendant was removing the SER
vice battery from her car, prepara-
tory to reinstalling her battery,
she asked a few questions of Mr.. Ma
gruder, the manager.
GLOW long will a storage battery
last?" she inquired.
Before l answer that l would like
to ask you a question:" said Mr.. Ma
gruder.
Chow long will an automobile last?"
WELL" the young lady replied, "of
course that depends on what use it
has and how it is taken care of. Some
last longer than others"
Exactly SO with storage batteries.
Some last longer than others, and
Pret-O-Lite is some battery. But even
a Prest-O-Lite has to be treated right
to give proper service all of the time.
Try to u your engine without oil and
see where you get off. How long
would it last?
"A storage battery ought to be test
ed at least once a month-twice a
month in summer is desirable-and
distilled water added if necessary. The
Prest-O-Lite service station will do
this for you without cost, but it means
dollars in your pocket and longer life
to your battery. Should a test indi-
cate the necessity for repairs or a
freshening charge, you are told Of it
before there is any danger of perma-
nent harm to the battery. In this way
Prest-O-Lite service is instrumental
in making your battery last as long as
possible and in giving you the highest
possible efficiency at all times.
"If you don't get Prest-O-L Lite SER
vice, it is your own fault. It is al
ways here ready for you. But we do
want you to give your battery the in
telligent treatment it deserves, and
to take advantage of the service sta
ton.
"One thing o r if your battery
is to stand idle with your car out of
commission for a month or more at
a time, notify US and we will send
for it, and give it the carr it needs
while you are away. Then you can
depend on it's being in first-class con-
dition when you are ready to use it
again. Our charges for this service
are very moderate"

Cut this Out and Take it With You.
A mar often forgets the exact name
of the article he wishes to purchase,
and as a last resort takes something
else instead. That is always disap-
pointing and unsatisfactory. The
safe way is to cut this out and take it
with you so as to make sure Of getting
Chamberlain's Tablets. You will find
nothing quite so satisfactory for con-
~stipation and indigestion.

MORE ATTENTION TO
OATS RECOMMEN DED
Crop Ranks Next TO Corn and
Wheat in Value.
Among Essentials for Successful Pro-
duction Are Weil.Prepared Land,
Fairly Fertile, and Seeds Of
Suitable Varieties

Oats rank next to corn and wheat in
CROP acreage and value in the United
States. But Notwithstanding this
less attention has been given to the
production of oats than 10 any other
important grain, so that Yields often
have been unsatisfactory and the crop
sometimes unproftable, say specialists
of the United States department Of
agriculture.
The essentials for success In oal
production;
Well-prepared land that Is retentiv'
of moisture and fairly fertile.
Good seeds of suitable varieties,
thoroughly cleaned and graded ant
treated for smut.
Early seeding with a grain drill
The harvesting Of the crop at the

Careful shocking and stacking so as
to preserve the crop from injury by

BABOON PUT TO USEFUL TASK
AS Shepherds, the Animals Are Said
to Develop Traits That Are
Almost Human.

have often wondered, remarks Mr..
w. c. Scully in the Atlantic Monthly,
why more balloons are not trained as
shepherds. The creatures invariably
develop an absorbing affection for any
young animals, human or other, that
are placed in their charge, and there
Is Northumberland instance of a
baboon taking charge of a motheress
Kafr infant and guarding it night
and day for more than two years.
The simian foster parent performed
every necessary function except feed
ing the child.
Several balloons have been trained
as shepherds. In case that Mr.. Soul
ly himself observed the baboon had
charge of several hundred sheep He
became passionately attached to the
members of the flock, and remained
with them all day long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral in
the evening His only fault as shep-
herd was the outcome of extreme So
licitude If he heard the voices of wild
balloons In the distance at any time
of the day, he would Mt once collect
the sheep, and with every appearance
OF the liveliest terror hurry them
home.
