Mabel Garrison Heard in
Old Hymn

The instinct which bids the Cypress
ed, the failing, the sorrowful, to seek
Divine consolation in an hour of trial,
is expressed in one of the new Victor
Records for February, Come Ye
Disconsolate" by Mabel Garrison.
This hymn seems to have received from
above, the assurance of help and COM
fort, and to carry it broadcast
throughout the world. Its orchestral
setting is remarkably beautiful. Miss
Garrison sings with perfect, uncon-
scious art and calm steadfastness of
emotion.
The "Passepied' from the opera "Le
Roi S'Amuse" is Mischa Elman's latest
Victor Record. Originally sailors
dance, it has a brilliant rhythm which
Elman snaps out with real musician
ship, never losing the cheerful spirit
and the strong, human heartiness.

is a poetic presentment of the spinning

endless source of wonder.

GROWERS INCREASE PROFITS
BY PROPER COTTON GRADING

Need far more general adoption by
communities of q single, superior va
riety of cotton for each community
has been brought out by cooperative
graders working under the direction
of the Bureau of Markets, Uuited
States Department of Agriculture,
who last year graded approximately
230,730 bales in Texas, Mississippi,
Louisiana, North Carolina, and South
Carolina. 1t is evident, they say, that
no marketing association can secure
the full benefits or organized effort
unless it is handling dependable guam
titles of a standard product. For this
reason cotton specialists of the de-
partment are giving special attention
to educating producers regarding the
value of CHASING cotton before sale,
the use of market quotations, the
. growing of better varieties of cotton
on a community basis, the depressing
effect of inferior staple upon prices,
and the loses incident to improper
ginning, bailing, and storage. They
are encouraged to organize for the
purpose of securing the benefits of
community production and marketing
of superior cotton. At some of the
towns in which classers were located,
it had been the custom to buy cotton
as short staple, but during the past
season cotton classed in the course of
these demonstrations as full inch or
longer were sold at premium, thus
bringing into the hands of the pro-
ducer thousands of dollars more than
they could have gained under former
conditions and emphacizing the desir-
ability Of selling according to actual
class. A further result has been the
withdrawal from the field of many
so-called "scalper" buyers whose prof
its depended largely upon the ignor-
ance of the grower as to the class and
value of his cotton.

TOO MUCH COTTON.

Do the records in regard to the sup
ply of cotton startle you, or is there
question: in your mind as to their ac-
curacy? If you believe the figures to
be correct, what do you believe will re-
suit if the South produces more than
100000 bales Of cotton this year? Do
you know why cotton is no longer
salable? There are at least two bales
of cotton in existence for every one
that can be spun during next year.
Can you upon any other fact or theory
explain why cotton is so difficult to
sell?

MUSIC AND DRAMA OF THE MONTH

Victor Record is sung by Charles Har-
rison in his best fashion. Its first sue
cess was at the Winter Garden in
New York
Victor Roberts gives you a good
chance to laugh with "I'm A Lonesome
Little Raindrop," a happy-go-luclsy rag
time song to a sort of chop-chop ac-
compartment with bells. For Every
Boy Who's on the Level is a good,
wholesome song with a simple melody
which Roberts sings with the Harmon
izers Quartet
A hit from Billy Murray that sails
merrily over the right-feld fence, the
soft-drink signs and all, is "Oh Geei
Say Gee! You ought to See My Gee
Gee from the Fiji Isle" The Gee-Gee
is from the circus, and her costume
chiefly ballet skirt of green leaves, a
nose-ring, toe-bells and a kick like
home brew my Home Town Is a
One-Horse Town" in which Victor
Roberts Sharmonizes with the Har-
monizers Quartet, is an entertaining
march song with a-fne swing to it.
This is a great Victor Record.
