GRAND OPERA FEATURE
TUESDAY ROTARY LUNCH

Grand opera was brought to the Ro-
tary meeting Tuesday by DR.. Charlie
Ploussard, chairman for the day. Per-
haps Charlie had an ulterior motive
maybe having figured it out that if
the fellows could hear a fellow sing
with perfect tonsils-or none-as
the case happened to be-they'd all
flock to Mercy hospital to have theirs
looked after.
Anyhow, when they heard Emil
Rosseau, native of Alsace-Lorraine
and lately member of some of the
best known grand opera organizations
sing several times, each knew there
must be something the matter with
his own voice.
Rosseau sang at the college Mon
day night and someone must have
done some tall persuading to get
him to remain over next day. He was
The Coconino sun., 1926-12-03

accompanied by Mr.. Bennett, who
travels with him. His last selection,
the second encore number, was one
of the late Caruso's favorite select
ions, from the opera Carmen.
Mr.. Bennett later gave piano solo
and an encore number.
Tom Mccullough spoke on life in
surance. 1t was real talk, with sta
tistics favored with good sense and
dashes of humor. 1t was easy to take
and very likely convinced several
that life insurance is something
every man especially the man with
family can't afford to be without. The
very first man who ever had his life
insured, back in England in 1888,
and for only one year, played in all
kinds of luck, for he died within the
year and the policy was paid.
Tom said among many other in
teresting things that the insurance
companies of this country pay out
four million dollars in death claims
every day, on the basis of 300 work
ing days year and that the agents
The Coconino sun., 1926-12-03

of the country write fifty million
dollars worth of policies every day.
He stressed the fact that to make a
go of it the modern insurance sales
man must have high standards of
honesty and real service and respon-
sibility. 1t has grown to be pro-
fession to sell life insurance and
the man who doesn't regard it as a
profession and done that means fair
dealing with his clients can't hold his
job.
Miss Helen Harrington announced
that Wana camp fire girls are con-
Quoting the sale of Christmas seals
December to IS, with headquar
ters at Hotel Monte Vista, and that
it is to be run on race plan. She
showed the Rotarians the Rotary
mascot for the drive, a wooden black
and white pup of attractive mien
and really exemplary behavior that
should have a good chance to win.
Ed Babbitt had his terrier pup
there too, but nobody applauded, on
the contrary Ed was fined by Doe
Ploussard for bringing the guest
without previously notifying the Sec
retary.
l Ed was also fined because his as
sistant, Walt Bennett, has q stiff
neck. John @. Thomas paid be-
cause he wrote on the box of good
cigars passed in honor of his birth
day that he was eighteen years and
nine days old, and Doc couldn't fig
ure the nine days. Doc Mart Fronske
also contributed in Sergeant-at-
Arms Ralph Davis receptacle be-
cause he couldn't clear himself Of
completely in the table silverware

President Ed Miller opened and
closed the meeting. Guests: Mr.. Ros-
seau, Mr.. Bennett, Miss Elsa Myers,

and persiflage the club settled down
to enjoy the music and speeches.
Miss Louise Hodges, accompanied
by Mrs. w. NJ Rudd, sang as we'll as

Rev. Edw. L. Freeland followed

ChippeWaMaiters Moving
!. !. sloWlsy But Surely

While we have expected to re-
ceive news from Washington of
the passage of the Jurisdictional
bill, and headway being make on
several other bills, such as the
classification bill, and the measure
to set aside q portion of Rice lake,
we have learned that on account
of other pressing matters before
Congress, the Indian matters nave
suffered a temporary delay. The
jurisdictional bill has passed both
the house and Senate, and has been
referred to a conference committee.
The conferees on the part of the
house and senate have been ap-
pointed. Owing to Senator Har.
reid, who is one of the confeerees on
the part of the senate, having been
continuously occupied on the com
lnittee which is now considering
the modification of the Volstead
law, he was unable te attend any
other committee meetings, hence
hekeonfeerccs-haso n6s yeStaker-
up the jurisdictional bill, There
seems to be no doubt however,
that the conference committee will
report the jurisdictional bill favor
ably, it is learned that President
Coolidge, looks with disfavor up
on the submitting of what he
terms ''stale Indian claims" and
it therefore problematical at the
present time to ascertain just what
the president will do with the
Chippewa Jurisdictional bill.
However with Commissioner
Burke, strongly in favor of the
bill, the Chippewas can count on
his efforts to advise the president
properly, should the president en-.
tertain any doubts as to the neces
sity and propriety of approving
the measure.
The classification bill, has been
satisfactorily ageed upon between
Mr.. Ballanger and the Indian bur
eau, and should be reported out of
the committee by the first of next
week. 1t is not generally known
just how the committee will re-
commend the classification bill,
and it is no secret that some pro-
tests have been sent to the com.
mittee, from outside scources, such
as the Minneapolis and St. Paul
associations, the associated chara.
ties of the Twin Cities, and some
individuals who have assumed to
take rather important atand,
when they know little or nothing
of the merits and justice Of the
measure. However, it is learned
that Mr.. Burke would like to have
tue bill enacted into law, and with
his assistance. together with that
of Mr.. Ballanger, there is fair
chance for the measure becoming
q law.
The Rice Lake bill so called,
which has for its purpose the re
serving of certain land upon Rice

Tomato growers Of Delaware and
particularly in and around Kent coun-
ty have been fussing with cut worms
this season more than for several
years. Many of the farmers have had
to plant tomatoes more than once
owing to the ravages of the cut
worms which flourish in cool wet
weather, and the past spring has been
a dandy one for the cut worms.
More white or Irish potatoes are
being grown in Delaware this year
than for many seasons, due to the
high prices of the tubers recently.
Ordinarily Delaware is not potato
state, the farmers only raising enough
for their immediate needs, but the
fancy prices which they brought last
spring has induced more of them to
60 in for potato raising than hereto
fore. The same conditions used to
prevail in regard to sweet potatoes,
but now Delaware sweet potato grow
