of the late Gar Nicholas, was being
taught to sing along with other
promising children by tAe best voice
teachers Of the empire. 1t was the
czar's command.
A few years later the same girl,
now refugee back in her own land,
was sending out her vibrant, cult
waited voice over the RADIO from Los
Angeles.
The radio proved Q magic disscm!
nator for the lovely notes, carrying
them in successive waves from one
influence to another, until Broad
way called her to sing here. Now
she is leading woman in a big mu-
steal show and the future locks

Ruth Gillette is the gill the radio
made. She was taken TO Russia by
her parents when small child. Her
musical talent soon attracted atten-
ton and she was placed by the ear
under court teachers. After the
revolution she fled tc Australia
first, and singing there in concerts
for time, she came eventually to
California.

Sumter county and Brooks coun-

it was learned yesterday from Mr..
Westbfook. He said they were
typical agricultural counties;
that crop sproduced prcfitably here
could be recommended to other
counties and that crops that fail to
bring a fair return here would not
be profitable in other counties.

Man Dies Monday
As Result of Fall

Herman Mantyla died Monday
morning at the Mount Maurice Hos
pital, caused from injuries received a
week ago when the man fell on the
sidewalk, striking his head in such a
manner as to have fractured the skull.
His condition until Sunday morning,
was very hapeful, and his mind ration
al. However in the afternoon a
change appeared in his condition, and
he steadily became weaker and sank
rapidly into the oblivion Of death
Monday morning.
Mr.. Mantyla was born in Finland
40 years ago, but has only been resi-
dent Of this city for six years. He
leaves wife and four children in his
native country.
The coroners jury who conducted an
Inquest Tuesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of investigating Mr.. Mantyla's
death, arrived at decision and ver-
dict claiming his death to have been
accidental. 1t was alleged at first
that at the time Of the accident an4
other party was largely responsible
for his fatal fall, but it was discov-
cred later that the act was purely
accidental, and no one particular per-
son could be blamed for it.
