the time and energy to study and TO
go out In society. She must decide
whether she will enthusiastically or
her gift--and then must work, using
her wealth only as a means to the end.
1.-THE poor girl is handicapped in
another way, but she is left pretty
much TO herself, The mere matter Of
living is a problem with her, but once
she has solved that she can devote all
her time and her energy to her work.
And II she has talent there are al
ways ways Of having It developed
without an excessive payment Of
money, which would be beyond her
means.
my advice to girl who is ambi-
tious is don't despair at the obstacles
you have to overcome. Have faith in
yourself and you can succeed In spite
o fthe wishes Of your family and
friends an din spite Of many financial
difficulties that may be put in your
way. 1t all depend on yourself-that

OCTOBER Is FINAL MONTH
FOR SOWING COVER CROPS

October is the final month during
which farmers who wish to protect
their fields during the winter can SOW
cover crops, according to R. e. Steph-
enson, soils extension specialist form
the College Of Agriculture. Many
farmers have already realized the
value of such crops and seeded their
fields with them, reports from more
than so Kentucky counties indicating
that the acreage Of such crops will be
increased from one-third to one
fourth more than that of last year.
Rye which has proved to be the most
popular crop for this purpose up to
the present time can be seeded later
than any of the others recommended
for cover crops, DR.. Stephenson said.
In sowing cover crops farmers are
coping successfully with the largest
single soil management problem
which they have, Mr.. Stephenson said
This problem is the conservation of
plant food and the prevention of
teaching and erosion. Regardless Of
teaching and erosion cover crops are
profitable ones in view of their green
manure and pasture value. Many Ken
lucky farmers will be compelled to
SOW cover crops this fall If they wish
to keep their farms up to high state
of production since their fields are
N such condition that in a few years
they will be quilted an dleached be-
ycnd redemption, Mr.. Stephenson

Miss Mason, who In private life is
the wife OF the chief conductor Of the
Chicago Opera Company, Maestro
Gorgio Polaco, is the daughter of a
wealthy st. Louis family. When she
was young she wanted to become a
singer and received the encourage
ment Of her family, the members of
which thought she wished to sing
merely as a parlor accomplishment.
When they realized that she had tai
ent and genius for singing and that
she intended to make the cultivation
of her Wits her lfe's work, they be-
ran TO object to her having a career
She was studying in New York City
at the time and her mother issued an
ultimatum to the effect that she must
give up her singing lessons or her
allowance would be cut off. When
she refused to discontinue her singing
her mother carried out her threat. In
stead Of captivating as most wealthy
young girls would have done, Miss
Mason secured an engagement sing
ing in New York City and made her
own way for many weeks. When her
mother realized she did not intend to
give up her singing she visited Miss
Mason and toll dher if she felt that
