GROW SUGAR. BETS Be Il S;
MOVEMENT TO INTEREST FARM
ERS IN GROWING THEM
FACTORY POSSIBLE

movement is now on foot to bring
about q development of the growing
of sugar beets by the farmers of Nor
ing of a sugar beet factory here. The
movement was started by the agricul-
tural bureau Of the Little Falls Board
of Commerce and the proposition seems
to be meeting with favor.
The plan is to send a communica-
ton to each farmers club in the coun-
ty, urging that the matter be brought
up at meetings in the near future. The
clubs will be asked to elect five dele
gates to attend county meeting on
the proposition, to be held as soon as
possible. The idea is to get the thing
going, so that the farmers can include
sugar beets in their 1920 crop. AS
soon as sufficient number of clubs
show interest in the proposition ar.
rangements will be made to secure
speakers from the twin cities and from
Chaska, where sugar factory is now
located, to come up here for the meet
ing and explain the matter fully.
It was also, decided at the meeting
of the agricultural bureau to get start
ca as soon as possible on arrangements
for a county exhibit at the state fair
next fall with view Of having an
exhibit which will be second to none.
By getting started now on lining up
material for the exhibit, Morrison coun-
ty should be able to get back to where
she rightfully belongs at the fair next
fall. Sam Hammerbeck, W. E. Olson,
T. F. O'Conn0r and G. B. Campbell are
a committee to appear before the coun-
ty board at its next meeting, in regard
to this matter.

New T.. S. Tenor Creates
Sensation in Chicago
Charles Marshall Makes Ameri-
can Debut irl "Otello'' and
Wins Warm Praise

CHICAGO, Dec 30.-The greatest
sensation since that created by CALI
Curci's first appearance with the Chi
cago Opera Company, three years ago,
was enjoyed by Chicago opera lovers
last night when Charles Marshall, an
American tenor, made his debut in the
title role of "Otello" Not a dozen
persons in the vast auditorium had ever
heard of Marshall when the curtain
rose, but before its fall he was "estao-
lished." Chicago has awaited a per
formance of "Otello" for nearly
decade, the opera having been sung
only twice in this city since the forma-
ton Of the Chicago Opera Association
The audience made up for lost time by
cheering the unknown singer to the
echo. He received ten curtain calls at
the end of the first act, and the en-
thusiasm grew throughout the evening
Marshall is a New Englander of pow
erful build and voice. He studied in
Italy, where he became known as Carlo
Marzacli, the handiest adaptation Of
Charles Marshall in the Latin tongue.
He never has previously been heard in
opera in this country, although he es-
tablished a splendid record in Europe
Rosa Raisa and Titta Ruffo shared hon
ors with Marshall, singing Desdemona
and lago.

callers. He has been suffering from
suppurative pleurisy since Christmas
Day
The singer probably would be laid up
for at least two wsaks, his secretary
said, though he added that tire express
sion of this opinion was scarcely more
than a guess, based Upon his personal
observation of Mr.. Caruso and what he
had learned concerning cases similar
to his.
Several oxygen tanks were noticed
yesterday in the ho.,l and reports got
abroad that Caruso was in much more
serious condition rhar generally was
realized and his physicians had been
compelled to resort TO oxygen to keep
him alive.

Coates Appears as
Guest Conductor of
Symphony Society
Englishman Displays Force
and Intellect in His Work:
First T.. S. Performance of
Wiiliams's london Given

Albert Coates, conductor from the
Royal Opera, Covent Garden, the
Royal Philharmonic Society and the
London Symphony Orchestra, made his
first appearance in Amepica yesterday
afternoon as guest conductor of the
New York Symphony Society. Although
Mr.. Coates comes to us from England,
his adventures in conducting have not
been sole'y British He was for some
time conductor a. the Leipsic Opera
House, at the Royal Opera, Dresden,
and in 1910 was appointed senior con-
ductor at the Imperial Opera, Petro-
grad.
In appearance Mr.. Coates is young
and vigorous. He has leonne ply
sique, masterful personality. AS a
conductor he has breadth Of vision and
authority, an effective combination of
intellect and force. The program was
all British It included Mr.. Coatess
own and excellent arrangement of a
Suite for Strings by the early English
composer, Henry Purcell; Cigars "Enig
ma" Variations, and Mr.. Coates also
conducted the first American perform
ance of the "London" Symphony by his
countryman, Vaughan Williams. This
was the feature of the afternoon. The
symphony is the inosr imposing, most
interesting work that has come out Of
England for q lorg time. Pictorial in
character, written in the modern idiom
hut firmly nodded free from dissonan-
TIC meanderings, it is in the fullest
sense music of to-day, music of blood
and tears. The composer has barred
i he soul Of a great city, the London of
lhomas Burke, with Big Ben and the
s'lMt flowing Thames as a mysterious
background for scenes Of gayety and
soMidness. Williams has been ex-
trawdinarily successful in suggesting
atmosphere, in his use of color, which
Is by no means always drab. One can
smell the fog, but one can also see the
garish Coster life with its accompanl-
.nent of concertinas and mouth organs.
And Williams in his Hunger March"
also celebrates the great army of the
Geld and hungry, watching others 60
vhisting to work. In the second
lnovcment-the work has four---an old
musiGan plays his fiddle before
'pub.n His tune, played in the orches
ira by the viola, fell to the accom-
plished Mr.. Pollain, who gave it pathos
End eloquence. There is nothing ex-
permental in this music. 1t is the fine
accom pNsfmeht Of n tried hand.
If Mn, Coates showed himself an ad-
mirablc. conductor in the preceding
pieces he gave of his best to the SYM
Dhony and the orchestra responded
readily to the vitality of his leader
ship. The concert viii be repeated this
evening.
