Maizie’s romance really began when, she ran away from her puri- tanical parents in Canada to become This happened when Eighteen found her in Detroit,- posing for artists. In a studio she Ryerson, a youth- fully groomed man of 50, who was introduced to her as a weil-to-do pa- tron of the arts. Ryerson took an immediate inter- est in the little dancer and modi It was purely a fatherly intere says Maizie, “at least 1 thought # and when he asked me to go to live apartment as his ward, 1 the most fortunate of girls.” Maizie describes the apartment as an exotically furnished su'te in an office building, where turbaned ser- vants of a Hindu cast of counte- nance trod soft oriental rugs and lighted incense lamps, “I had lived there only twe months,” she says, “when Mr. Ryer- son proposed marriage. He argued that our arrangement would cause folks to talk, But I protested 1 wasn’t in love with him. “Then he suggested we be mar- ried for a 30-day trial and that if he hadn’t taught me to love him by the end of that period, 1 would be free to leave him.” The marriage took place in the fall. It lasted 29 days. Then Maizie left her benefactor, complaining of his ideas of love and love rites. She said she believed Ryerson had formufated these ideas while con- nected with a strange secret order, Ryerson had headed a book concern which issued a volume setting forth this cult’s precepts. Many copies of this beek were found on the concern’s shelves when receivers took over the property. Marizie promises to tell all about Ryerson’s love doctrines when her suit for divorce comes up for trial. Ryérson denies all her charges. He says he is a victim of ingrati- tude and asserts when he tells his story in court he can sutain his good name. BETTER TIMES FOR FARMERS FORSEEN IN 1923 BY WALLACE; LABOR COSTS HAVE DECREASED Washington, Jan. 2, — Better times for the farmers of the coun- try are foreseen for71923 by Sec- retary Wallace, who, in a state- ment today, rev: ed agricultural conditions of 1922 and set forth the prospects for the new year. In his statement, Mr. Wallace said: “Twelve months ago most of the ix million farmers of the United tates were sarting on the long hard climb out of the ‘valley of economic depression. They have not yet attained the heights which are bathed in the grateful sunshine of prosperity. Some, indeed, have fallen by the way. Others are still in the valley. Nevertheless, as we stop a bit and look back- ward We can see that very con- siderable ground has been gained by the great majority, and we can enter the New Year with renewed hope and with that courage which | comes from the realization that! ally making progress. 0, when speaking of the prospects for farming in 1922, I said that while there was no rea- farmer in the near future, there | was promise of better times, both for the farmer and for those whose business is largely dependent up- on him. The year has brought ful- fillment of that promise. Speaking generally, times are better, much better, than a year ago, both for agriculture and for industry. “Crops have been good, on the whole. Prices of the major crops are mostly considerably higher. While there has been a correspond- ing advance in the prices of the things the farmer must buy, the total sum while farmers will re- ceive for the crops or this year is greater by a billion and a half dol- lars or more than that which they received for the crops of last year. This will certainly mean better times on the farm, and farm folks will be able to ease up a little on the grinding economy they were forced to practice the preceding year. ‘The labor cost of producing, the crops of 1922 was still further re- duced. There were some substan- tial reductions in freight rates, Much helpful legislation has been enacted and more will be this win- ter. Interest rates are lower and the credit strain has been eased. Martyr ‘to-Medical Science THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | This has made it possible for many {farmers who were rather heavily involved to refund their obliga- | tions and get themselves in condi- {tion to win through. | “There are still some dark spots. {In some sections weather condi: tions were unfavorable and crops ' {were short, and farmers in these : sections are having a very hard jtime of it. Freight rates are still ; too high, especially for those who must pay for a long haul to mar- ket. “Taxes are high, but this is | ‘largely due to the increase in local | taxes, over which farmers them- | { selves must exercise control. | “There ha@ been gratifying | {growth in farmers’ cooperative i marketing associations, and more of them are being organized on 4 i sound basis. i “Aside from the help which has j been given by legislation and by | administration activities, strong economic forces are at work to re- store @ more normal relation be- tween agriculture-and other indus- tries. _/ “The peril in the agricultural depression is more keenly realized | by other groups than ever before, and on every hand a sincere desire is being evidenced to do what can be done safely to help the farmer better his condition, “Everything considered, we have good reason to expect still better ee for agriculture in the year SCHOOLS ON INCREASE IN RUSSIA Moscow, Jan. 2.—The number cf public schools in Soviet Russia shows an increase under the Soviet regime as compared with pre-revolution times, according to recent announce- ment of A. Lunatcharsky, commis- sar for edycation. During the first two years of the revolution public education was given much attention by the Soviet government, and the number of pub- lic schools was brought up to 30,- 000 with a staff of 70,000 teachers and 2,250,000 pupils, as compared with 22,000 schools, 32,000 teachers anc 1300,000 purils in i911, But in 1921 with the change of economic policy and the abolition of the non- monetary system came the first re- duction of expenses in edugation and curtailment of publie schools. In 1922 a further number of schools had to be closed, on account of bud- get difficulties, while many schoods| + were deserted by their staffs owing to insufficient and irregular pay. At the present time, according to to official figures, there are 23,000 schools, 48,000 teachers and 1,635,- 000 pupils, But 1923 is expected to show a decrease, for the gpvern- ment will place the cost of upkeep of public schools upon local authori- |ties and these are notoriously short of funds. GIVE YOST CREDIT FOR NEW PLAY (By the Associated Press) Chicago, Jan. 2.—The discoverer ot of the play chiefly responsible for the modern-day style of foothall— the forward pass—has been found. He is Fielding H. Yost, veteran coach at the University of Michigan. Twen- ty-five years ago, nine years before the forwar@; pass was used in foot- j ball, he introduced the spiral throw, using it first at Ohio Wesleyan uni- versity to teach punters how to kick - a spiral. Using his hand instead of his foot, for Yost says he was a poor punter, h’ explained to his squadow to {m- part a whirling motion to the oval, to give it speed and direction. Foi many years he used this trick 1. coaching his backfield, and in 1905, the year before the present-day for- ward pass, he published in a book on football, illustrationg of his method of getting off the spirat throw.. . “In executing the spiral throw” Lost said/in his 1905 article, “place the ball on the hand as in the illus- tration. The ball should lie diag- onally across the palm from the base of the thumb to the end of the little finger. “The arm should be brought around forward, in a hori- zontal line and, just as the ball leaves the hand, it should be caused to revolve on its axis by suddenly jerking the hand around the ball and ot the left. The oval will thus be made to rotate like a spiral kick. The end of the ball that is ahead in the picture must be kapt ahead all the time. The ball in htis manner can be thrown with ease from 80 to 40 yards. The revolution of the ris} on its axis should be rapid. . This pass can be made with or across the wind and with practice the’ player 1 can control its distance and direc- - tion as well as if the oval were a baseball.” ‘: CHARGE SHERIFF. vA Bréat composer.” me CoRMACK() ,Jeritza in one of Her Famous Roles—DeLuca Grand Manner—Kreisler Makes a Quaint Record ‘ = XN HERE isan interesting ip of soprano solos among the first , Fecord releases for 1923.

Company’s present season, Bori’s is the song of a girl, bubbling aver with sheer delight of life. A bit of chromatic melody, a half-phrased utterance of joy, precedes the actual waltz. The waltz itself displays the true beauty of every range of the voice. As:it develops to its climax, it becomes extremely difficult, calling for long senle passages and a climactic high D, clear and pure as crystal. Farrar's contribution is something rare, something remote from the ordi- Mary run of music. “Songs My Mather Taught Me,” by the great Bo- hemian composer is a wild, sad, slow, -like strain, in somewhat ef a bid rhythm. ‘The voice rises and descends in long swooping curves, de- scendjng in full octaves to its graver and deeper tones. It is one of the most haunting melodies of modern music, ending on the “dominant” with and incomplete effect. No one who has heard (and who has not?) Butterfly’s song of faith for lier. busband’s return can fail to be in- terested in Galli-Curci’s interpretation. Qne of the most remarkable of modern Italian melodies combines with the method and voice of this artist to make an ‘unforgetable zecord. Records like this make you fuily appreciate the teivilege of being able to hear them when the mood and moment fancy. Tosca’s dilemma is well-known—the woman forced to choose between sacri- figing her honor and her lover's life. Her conflicting emotions, pending de- cision, are summed up in this beautiful aria, which Jeritza sings with a splen- did full voice and with fine dramatic sense. o The fragrance of some long forgotten juggests the character of De Gagorza’s latest record, “Mado- line” Simple and tender love-senti menta, neither subtle nor yet crude of self-conscious composition, are re- vealed by the rich and mellow baritone of the singer, level and pure and softly flowing. .

This is his manager’s dictum. If John McCormack sang every song that his admirers would like to hear him sing, he'd never get any sleep. His latest record on the January Victor list will please his entire follewing—a song in a lyric metre familiar to all Jovers of Irish poesy’ “Mother in Ireland” is obviously a song of the homesick, composed in waltz time, ith a melody which the tenor sings lightly and easily, dwelling here and there with true lyric fire and passion on some high note. By many cherished as the noblest of Liszt's orchestral works, “Les Pre- dudes” was inspired by ‘the historic parse of Lamartine, “what is our life ut a succession of preludes to that un- known song whose first note is sounded by Death?” As a musical intimation of immortality, there are few orchestral works of the mid-Nineteenth Century equal to it in beauty of sentiment, or in grandeur and variety of expression. It includes a number of musical themes, all based on two simple ones, which undergo extraordinary and ingenious transformations. The records this month include parts x and 2, by Willem Mengelberg and Philharmonic Orchestra on two new Victor Records for January, It is a matter for debate whether the music student or the layman who loves music without technical knowledge of its structure gets the greatest delight from a great musical masterpiece in- terpreted by a great artist. Suffice it to say that both will enjoy in their own degree Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody” on a new record by Paderewski. This record belongs to the great display pieces of piano music. Liszt’s intricate ‘and delicate finger machinery is in it —the multiple trills, overhand chord passages that crash like thunder, crys- talline glissades and moments like warbling brook-water, eee ‘Among his mementoes Padere- wski treasures a piano pedal, plated in gold and inscribed with the names of the captain ang officers of H.

While the fox trot com- nands an overwhelmil plsraliey in the dance record releases, the waltz in recent months has been putting » a fine display of “‘come-back” spirit. Two medley waltzes on a new Victor dance record also serve to introduce a new dance orchestra to theVictor following, the Serenaders. It is mostly a string organization, minus the saxophone and the jazz whistle: Its orchestral tone is rich, sonorous and flexible: its tempo and its sense of rhythm delicately and subtly balanced. Appropriately it makes its, bow with two waltzes, the first by Victor Herbert, “A Kiss in the Dark” from “Orange Blossoms,” the gecond “Wolts Is Made for Love” from the “Yankee Princess.” Both are slower than the so-called old-fashioned waltz, which really was gpt so very slow.

Two fox trots by Paul Whiteman from Ir- ving Berlin's “Music Box Revue” are an immediate refutation of any such pronouncement, “Pack Up Your Sins” and “Crinoline Days” ably illustrate the Whiteman group principle ethat har- mony is possible where only melody was present, before Whiteman’s day. eee Of Feodor Chaliapin’s first re- cital in New York City this year a.-local critic remarked; “He sang the “Volga Boatman's Song,’ and was forced to repeat it. ‘Seiten has Carnegie rung (and there have been a good many ovations in that hall) ay it-did after his first sing- ing of’ this favorite ...
