She has besides them other rare quail
tiles, vivacity and brilliancy, and, bet
ter still, personality. pas
Though she has not tl1us far sung
many roles in opera in her native land
abroad, in Paris, she has won distinc
ton in such leading parts as Manon
and Louise. Here she is chiefly
known at the Metropolitan as prob
ably the best Musetta heard there
since the first memorable performance

She has the making Of popular

And to assist these, she has beauty,
dash and the magnetic quality.
This is a tribute singers seldom
earn For tones" are all most ar
fists give their hearers.
In connection with the Monday
Music club course as presented this
year it is interesting to note that the
soloists all happen to be Americans

tingent of young Americans who are
so rapidly pushing to the front in the

STRAW VOTE
BY FARMERS
Harding Great Favorite Over Cox IN
Thirteen Pivotal States, According
to Figures Received
Uo to Date

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.-Harding
is going to sweep the farmer vote Of
the country into his presidential bas-
ket if the returns in the Farm Journal
straw ballot tell true story.
Out of thirteen pivotal states from
which returns have come Harding has
polled approximately 10 per cent of the
farmer vote, with the balance split
between Cox, Debs and the farmer-la-
Dor party. In Minnesota Sc per cent
of the votes are for Harding and only
in Indiana and Illinois does there ap-
pear to be any considerable division
of opinion. Cox has polled As per
cent of the ballots in Indiana to date,
and 46 per cent of the votes in Hi
nois.
Whether its straw votes indicate
the preference of farm women as we'll
as men, the Farm Journal is not pre-
pared to state. For years It has
conducted a straw ballot among the
farmers of the country and never yet
has it failed to pick the winner. In
1916 Wilson was Indicated as winner
by small margin, and California,
which ultimately decided the issue,
had given Wilson a small majority in
the Farm Journal ballot.
This year California is going II per
cent for Harding in the test vote.
Whether the women on the farm will
share the views of the men-folks re-
mains to be seen. The returns up
to date are as follows:

Young People from CoIored School In

Ten years ago young colored man
and his wife named Jones, who had

few poor ignorant children of their
race into one room Of small cabin
for the purpose Of teaching them
There were cracks in walls and roof,
and often snakes crawled in and
filled the heart Of the northern bred
girl with terror.
Today, the Piney Woods country life
school, as it is called, occupies twelve
frame buildings clear of debt, and has
1,500 acres of land, with tools and i'm
Elements for it's cultivation. There
are 325 boys and girls in the school,
who owe all their advantages to the
persevering energy of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones. These boys and girls are all
learning useful trades by which they
will be able to earn an honest living
and by means of which they will be-
come intelligent and useful citizens
Of their country.
Out of the yellow clay, once consid-
cred too poor to raise fuss on, these
boys and girls are now making bricks
greatly needed for this growing school.
The religious training of the chill
