Folks Begin Changing Light
Wearing Apparel—Rain
Predicted Soon.
The cool, crisp atmosphere of
teh past few days has been filling
people with pep and causing them
to step lively.
Not only has it been making
people feel livelier physically, but
it has made them feel the need of
casting off the lightweight appar

for some time and donning some
.thing heavier.
Pick Up In Business. i

pickup in business for two or
three days since the weather
turned cooler.
For weeks it had been so warm
that it was disagreeable, and es
pecially for November weather.
Now that a change has come
and it feels more like winter

been the only section where there
has been as much or more rain
than needed.
In some sections of the country

CLUB GETS N m
OFM
The sum of $320.19 was given
the Girls’ Service Club at the
meeting last night at the First
Methodist church by Kelly Penn,
treasurer of the former Young
Men’s Evangelistic Club.
The money was raised by popu
lar subscription for a bus for the
young men’s club several months
ago. Last week Mr. Penn an
nounced that the money would be
given to the girls if no objection
was raised.
In presenting the money, Mr.
Penn made a short speech in
which he said that all of the
members felt the Girls’ Service
club was carrying on the work
begun by the Young Men’s Evan
gelistic Club and donated the
money to them to be used tor any
purpose they desired.
Miss Sara McDowell, president,
accepted the gift tor the Ser
vice Club and expressed the deep
appreciation felt by each one of
the girls and added that ^tey -
would endeavor to accomplish a
great deal of good with the
money.

superior to many males, insists
that the fact that a prims donna
is gifted with an unusual voice
does not necessarily make ker a
a good actress.
<< Why should a big fat man be
exhibited on the itage throwing
out his hands dramatically in the
stilted fashion of by-gone times,
just because he sings well? I
want good actors on the stage
for my opera and good singers
in the pit to make a perfect en
semble with the orchestra."

its libretto Thackeray’s story,
