I he history of such singers shows 1 Amern an earmarks in the way of j graduation from state universities, , singing in church choirs and teach- I mg in small towns. Kathiyn Browne, tor example, I never has been outside the United 1 States. The middle-western Um | versity of Illinois fas her starting j point in the musical world. I expect to go abroad some i day, of course,” she says. “But I’d ; like if passible to show that Ameri can blood and Jipme training can win out in grand opera. That is cotrary to tradition, but I shall , keepp trying.” And Kathryn Meisle, who makes , her debut this year, has had abso lutely no foreign training. The ex- ' tent of her voyage has been to; ] commute from her home in Phila- l , delp'hia to New York for music les- , sons. | j Americans All.

Nothing very foreign or i I “highbrowish” about that! ■ 1 Mary McCormic, who made her t debut under the regime of Mary 1 Garden, has studied and sung a bit ' abroad, but is‘ as Ameriman as pumpkin pie.

The crop will be ■ smaller than last year’s crop but very near the same as the 1921 crop from present indications. The fact, together with the higher price will make the crop for 1923 bring ' nearly as much money as the 1922 1 crop sold for. Some of the busi- I ness men report that collections are 1 better than they were last year. j LYONS FARMERS PLAN TO RAISE MORE POULTRY LYONS, Ga., October 29.

The t business man takes stock in j order to locate himself and his I business in the financial world, if I he is losing, then he begins to cur tail expenses and increase his, profits. If he is making money he coi#inues his present plans and i possibly launches out. Every man should take stock ■ and locate himself. This should I be a daily task with every individ ual. “What have I done today?” should be his question. Life is not made up of money but of deeds.
