 The sale of the properties in accord ance with the order of the court will no doubt be advertised almost at once, which will clear the road for the dis charge of the receivers and the consum- nation of the reorganization plan, thus rendering available the new $15,00O,o00 of cash which has been held ready for months for the use of the company.

 PLENTY FARM HELP
Unemployment Causes Drift Back to
 the Soil
Ry Assocjafed Press

:. Kansas City, Mo-. Apri1 y.--Wldespread unemployment in cities has created a drift back to the farm and relieved the farm labor shortage brought about dur ing the war, reports of federal and state employment bureaus reveal. Farm hands in the great grain belt of the central states are reported plentiful at wages greatly reduced, as compared with a year. ago. Farmers. who for several years have been forced to grant almost any concessions to labor to bring their crops through. are in a position this year to dictate terms of employment. according to employment agency officials. Then, too, the farmer faces the problem tis year of holding down the cost of pro- duction because of the low prices of farm products and generally. is trying to get along with as little help as possible.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 22.-It takes about ten days time, four of which are occupied by travel. but at that the Scotti Opera company is worth going to see. Not since the San Francisco earthquake disaster some sixteen years ago. when Caruso, now gone and a horde of Metropoli- tan opera house singers rendered practically the same operas in the old Mission street theater and the engagement terminated with earth quake. fire and all the horrors at tending such affairs. when one has to escape without even ones clothes. not since that wonderful combination has San Francisco heard such beau tiful. we'll sung and musically rem dered operas as now being offered by the Scotti company. Of course Scotti is very popular, but Geraldine F'arrar is the shrine of musical wor- ship. Every one is crazy over Ger aldine's singing and acting and her 1 appearances fill Exposition Auditor ium- Zazz is her lead and of course the Gate City would not turn her loose without her inimitable Car men. Farrar sings several times in san Francisco. but only once in their engagement in Los Angeles. The local management explains that Miss Farrar has concert engage ments in the east,' and we of course know that Miss Farrar's very modest | fee of a few thousand a performance
 has nothing to do with her single ap-
 pearance in Los Angeles.
 Gennaro Papi is somewhat of a | lightning" .conducr5r and meets all
 emergencies of travel inconvenience
 with perfect steadying powers. Con-
 ductor Fulgenzio Guerrieri is also
 right there with the quirt and even | the legitimate Metropolitan artists
 cater to his whims of cadence. Be- | fore winding up, the future of Alice
 Gentle should be forecasted. She has | wonderful talen, works hard and only
 in some sentimental passages would | the listener associate her art with her last name. We cannot say she
 is coming, for she has arrived. and l if it were not for Geraldine's art in
 immediate comparison one might say | that she is next in favor to Scotti,
 but then Farrar is above Scotti.
