Woman's Club
Two great names in the world of
music, DeBussey and kreisler, were
the topics for discussion at the Wom-
ans club Monday Miss Dorothy
Chandler had for her subject DeBussey
Memorials. She described in graphic
detail the memorial in stone which has
been erected to the, memory of De-
Bussey in Paris on the Bois de Bou-
logne. While this is a lovely monu-
ment worthy to commemorate the
name Of the man who wrote lovely
music, the true memorial is the work
of the man himself Dreaminess of
thought and tender melody character
ize the music of DeBussey and this
can be better appreciated when it is
played than when it is carved in stone.
Miss Helen Chandler played two Sc
lections of DeBussey's to illustrate her
sisters talk. They We're the "Fist
Arabesque" and "Clair de Lune."
Mrs. Julia Reese'su subject was
Sissy" an operetta by Fritz Kreisler
played in Vienna in the time of Franz
Joseph. This work has appeared only
once in Vienna and has not opened in
America as was expected, so material
on this subject was very meager. Mrs.
Reese substituted Emperor Jones',
the opera produced recently in New
York at the Metropolitan opera house,
and described it in some detail. 1t
was taken from the play of the same
name written by Eugene O'Neil, and
it is strictly modern and an all Amer
lean production. Laurence Tibbett
who sings the title role is the fore
most American baritone and his mu-.
sical education has been solely Amer
lean.
Fritz Kreisler, the Man and the
Composer" was discussed by Mrs.
Frank Murray. Contrary to the gen
eral conception of most gifted music
ians kreisler is quite, normal and
healthy, calm and well balanced. In
fact it is to this true mental and
physical balance which Kreisler attri-
butes his ability to be master music
ian. He says all great men have it
and many great men are notable mu-
sicians. For example there are Elm
stein and Ambassador Dawes. both
creditable composers.
Kreisler's father helped keep him
normal by having him play normally
with other boys instead of exploiting
him as child prodigy.
While Kreisler composes very few
things himself, he has arranged and
transcribed many old melodies and
made them famous. His playing Of
the violin is so full of glow and high
courage and his programs so varied
that it is no wonder that the concert
goers of the world have acclaimed him
an artist.
Two kreisler records were played on
the victrola, "Liebeslied' and "Fors-
KEN
Next Monday, March 27, is the last
meeting on the calendar for this year
and Mrs. Z. L. Killeen has surprise
in store for all those interested in
gardens. In fact it promises to be a
of unusual interest with Miss
Sallie Dooris on the program to tell
Who's Who and Miss Louise Richmond

Robert L. Evans was born in Mus
kingum county, but spent much of
his life in Morgan. After his mar
riage to Elizabeth Gorrell, he lived
on what is now the Ross farm, just
over the line in Meigsville town
ship; from there to the McLucas
farm in Morgan, and from there to
the farm west of Meigs, where his
death occurred in 1910 In young
manhood he taught school. During
the time he lived at or near Meigs
he was an extensive farmer and
stock raiser. buying wool in season.
At the time of his death he owned
some of the best farming and graz
ing land in the township. At one
time he owned strip of land from
the Bear Run road at the w. I.
Henderson home, to the Patterson
school house. We recall that in the
year 1908, following the drilling OF
a well on the VIM. Bradley farm,
we came from Stockport with Frank
Timis, now deceased who was at
that time president of the Ohio and
Indiana Oil company. After he had
looked the territory over, he went
to the Evans home where he tried to
lease all the acreage owned by Mr.
Evans-offering him $500 for six
months option on it, but was unable
to close the deal. Later he sent the
late Fred Fleming who was working
! for the company, and he was not
successful in closing deal. Mr.
Timis informed us that If he could
get the acreage he would drill a
string of wells clear through from
one end to the other, in trying to
find where the sand went through
So it has never been found what
riches are underneath this land. We
believe most of this land is under
lease, with perhaps 40 acre tract
out. R. L. and Elizabeth Evans
were parents of Ella, wife of FranI
King, Sandwich, ILL.,. Mary. wife oi
