SEAL SALES CONTINUE GOOD


The newspapers from over the
whole country indicate that the
sale of Christmas seals is now on
everywhere. From Maine to Cali
fornia folks are this week buying
the smiling little Santa Claus with
which to seal their Christmas pack
ages and spread the cheer of the
season among their friends.
Hhere in Haakon county the sale
of the little seals is passing be-
yond expectations. Every school
teacher in the county received an
assortment of seals, and the school
children are selling these with
great success. In some instances
the teachers have written in for a
second lot.
A number of the banks and so
cleties have bought one Of the five
dollar or ten dollar bonds. Among
these thus for reported are the
First State Bank of Philip, The
Bank of Nowlin. the Midland State
Bank. the Philip Women's Club,
the Masonic~ Lodge of Philip, the
Rebecca Lodge of Philip. the Am
erican Legion. Post at Philip. and
the Philip Presbyterian Aid So
ciety. The Presbyterian and Meth
odist churches at Philip have also
reported purchase of bonds.

We say again that every cent of
the money raised is turned over
to the South Dakota State Health
Association to be used in furth-

kept in mind, not because it is
overwhelmingly important, but for

was voluntarily turned over to
the Red Cross during the war for
the simple reason that. the task

which to administer or carry on

have come to call the seals Red

Red Cross supports, encourages,
and co-operates in the work, but
has no other connection with it.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK BETTER

While times are rather tight in
Western South Dakota, and the
Pioneer Review does not see a
great deal of improvement locally
it is encouraging to know that the
situation generally seems to be inn
proving.
The business outlook is distinct
ly brighter, is the conclusion of
Dun's Review in a discussion Of
the past week as one of the clos
ing business periods of 1921 The
year soon to end has been a dis
appointing period to great many
business men, but the Dun publ
cation points out that more rapid
recovery had been expected than
the facts of the situation justified.
The Review says:
"A year which has been marked
by slow and uneven economic re-
covery nears an ending with sea-
sonal abatement of demand in diff
ferent quarters. but with basic
conditions strengthened. At this
period, when taking of inventories

Rome to send Leonora to Paris with a
thousand pistoles for the journey and
as much for yearly allowance
But this fame and fortune was
reached by no royal road. Mazzoch
describes the day Of a pupil at a sew
enteenth century Roman school, where
church singers were trained, as fol-
lows:
"The pupils were obliged to devote
every day one hour to the practice Of
difficult pieces in order to acquire the
necessary experience. Three hours
were distributed, one to trills, the sec
ond to passages and the third to orna-
ments. During another hour the pupil
worked, under the masters direction.
placed before mirror, in order that
he might acquire no contortions Of the
eyes, the face or mouth in singing.
"Such were the occupations Of the
morning. In the afternoon theory was
studied for half an hour, an hour was
devoted to the study of letters. For
the rest of the day the student exer-
cised on the clavecin or in the compo-
sition of psalm, motet or other kind
of piece, according to his talent"
Five years Of training were required
by most masters. Pupils were urged
to eat only light foods and to avoid
almonds, filberts and walnuts, which
dry the chest They were advised not
to eat before singing, and between
closely succeeding appearances only
vegetables. Falsetti, soprani and con-
tralti were recommended to take only
light wine, because wine impairs the
purity of the voice and imparts sharp
ness to it. Tenors and basses, if young,
and above all in the spring, should
dilute their wine because undiluted
wine heats the stomach and makes the
mouth dry. In winter, on the contrary,
one should drink wine just as it comes
from the vine. The old should drNk
wine "straight" all the time. A singer
should not write much. The position of
the body bent over a desk or table is
very fatiguing for the chest. If the
singer must write let him use a desk
at which he can stand
In conclusion Mr.. Henderson states:
"The singer who has mastered what the
teachers of Bovicelli's age were teach
ing will find no difficulty in delivering
the measure of Mozart. Nor will he, il
he intelligently applies the fundamen-
tai law, find himself in trouble when he
essays to publish the musical thought
of Wagner or Verdi"
