CHICAGO CONTRALTO TO BE SOLOIST WHEN "MESSIAHS GIVEN Miss Mary Welch, mezzo contralto, of Chicago, who is bailed as a rarely gifted singer, will be heard here as one of the four soloists with the Festival chorus of 200 voices and the Richmond Symphony orchestra. Tuesday evening. Dec. 27, when they present the worlds greatest oratorio, Handel's "Messiah." Miss Welch is said to have a contralto voice of great beauty, range and power. W. L. Hubbard, of the Chicago Tribune, says of her singing: ' Her voice, rich toned and smooth, is under complete control, and Bhe interpreted her numbers with the spirit of exaltation and joyous proclamation that are so frequently lacking. It Is a pleasure to find a contralto who does not grovel in grief and swathe herself in solemnity when singing 'Messiah.'" Other soloists who are to appear are Mae Graves Atkins, soprano, and James Haupt, tenor, of Chicago, and Edward LaShelle, bass, of Indianapolis. ' Music Achievement. Presentation of "Messiah" here this Christmas time is an epoch in the music achievements this winter. Considered the greatest oratorio ever written this oratorio is performed at each Christmas season in at least a hundred cities in the United States and all over Europe as well. All the accompaniments will be played by the symphony orchestra, which will also have two numbers alone. One of these numbers "The Pastoral Symphony" appears on the repertoires of many orchestras and is played as a separate number. The orchestral parts were written by Handel but later revised by Mozart who adapted them to the more modern orchestra with its larger number of instruments. The Festival chorus of over 200 ok'es, assisted by the four visiting soloists will join with the orchestra in presenting the oratorio. XMAS SEAL BOOTHS

THE

Learn a Carol a Day Part of Christmas Celebration Planned by Richmond Community Service

"Deck The Hall" Many of the brightest carols come from the British Isles, where the celebration of Yuletide antedates the celebration of Christmas. With the coming of Christianity the missionaries did not suppress the popular celebration of the season but encouraged it and gave it a new religious interpretation. Much of the festivities center around rollicking, singing, dancing and frolicking. The old pagan songs were re-written to present the Christian idea. Today's Christmas carol comes from Wales. The title "Deck The Hall" spreads the spirit of Christmas, for the LEGION HEAD SHAKES HANDS WITH LABOR BLUEFIELD, W. Va., Dec. 16. Hanford MacNider, national commander of the American Legiqn, extended the hand of friendship to organized labor and pleaded for a continuance of good feeling between the legion and union labor in an address at an American Legion meeting last night. He predicted that the American Legion and the American Federation of Labor in the future will be working together in the interests of America and for the benefits of their members. Mr. MacNider said: "A small percentage of the public has a vague idea that the American Legion is opposed to organized labor. Nothing is further from the truth. "No American citizen denies the right of laboring men to organize for their betterment, and protection. That is exactly why th American Legion is organized for the ex-service men. There are radical and irresponsible members of all organizations who do not reflect the true sentiments of the bodies which they purport to speak for, and take it upon themselves to stir up antagonisms when there really s hould be nothing but co-operation and friendship." Final Music Memory Tests To Be Given at High School final tests in the music memory contest will be held in the auditorium the high school Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock.

THE FORUM An open letter to the parents and friends of children in Wayne county in general and Richmond in particular: The children in our schools, both public and parochial, have before them a splendid chance to serve humanity in the sale of Christmas seals. In fact, the motto of the Junior Red Cross is "I Serve," and the object of that ser vice is humanity. It will cost approximately $600 to furnish milk lunches to under-nourished school children this year and this amount must come from the public or the work will not be done. The school authorities very properly do not wish the children to make a house-to-house canvass in order to further the sale of seals, but they are co-operating, as good citizens, in this manner: Each school building has been supplied with a certain number of seals. In some buildings these have been distributed among rooms, ifi others only one teacher has charge of the school's supply. But, in any case, it is possible for any of the children to procure any number of seals desired. How are the children to sell the seals? They are to make a can vass among their relatives and friends to secure orders and collect the money irom tnem. They are then to buy the necessary number of seals from the proper person in their school building and deliver the seals to those who have ordered them. If each school child will sell at least 12 cents' worth of seals the $600 will be raised. Will those parents and friends who have not been supplied as yet kindly instruct their children, or little friends, to buy their seals without delay? One room has sold $30 worth of seals to date, and one boy has sold $5 worth. If parents, teachers, and children will work together the amount needed will be raised before Christmas. George G. Burbanck, in charge of publicity. Tuberculosis Seal Sale.

Story of Christ's Life Best Literature' Purdy "It is a wonderfully inspirational thing to study biographies, especially the one of Christ," said Prof. Alexander C. Purdy in his final talk of a series of lectures at First Methodist Episcopal church Thursday night. "The life of Christ furnished the best of all literature. No man knew Christ fully until he experienced him in his own life. When man did experience Christ in his own life, he became acquanted with him more thoroughly." Prof. Purdy emphasized the importance of an actual experience with Christ in order to come closer to him.

Leigh who is rapidly gaining a reputation as an artist gave one of the most interesting and instructive talks of the year, telling lw he became interested in art and also the method of construction of lithographs and etchings. He immediately won the interest of his listeners when he began by saying "On the only other occasion when I have been requested to speak I felt a bit worried lest my audience should depart, but I am happy this morning in the assurance that this gang not only had to come but will have to stay". ... To begin with, my subject is as dry as dust. I nearly sneeze myself when I think of a speech on print appreciation. I remember with distinctness with what "ennui" I listened to most of the addresses from this platform when I was in college and I do not assume for an instant that anything I might say would fall outside of thaf great majority." Mr. Leigh has presented a collection of lithographs of various famous artists to the Earlham library. In speaking of this collection he said, it is this beginning of a print collection wheh the Earlham library has very kindly agreed to make a part of its permanent collection. Collection is Sport "The realm is mine of course. The sport to be derived from prints is in the collection of them. Thev have been placed in the library in the hope that some few of you will examine them from time to time and not be compelled to feast your souls entirely mIU?bInd r b,runette ladies oa thc magazine covers. In speaking on the appreciation of prints he said. "If one likes a print because the subject is familiar or be - cause the print tells a story that is 1 reason enough to buy that print.

Yet that is what Alfonso' Brown, and Elmer j .vionatnan, neia on suspicion in tne city jail for the past 24 hours, have done, if the tale they have told local officers is true. Brown and Monathan were picked up on the street early Thursday morning when they were seen to be acting queerly. They refused to talk, beyond giving their names as Fred Burns and Alfred Brown. Friday morning one ot them told officers that they had been patients in an insane asylum at Kankakee, 111. Police at that place were notified and an investigation started.

LOCAL BANKS TO PAY 3 PER GENT RATE ON SAVINGS, NEXT YEAR The Interest rate on savings deposits and certificates of deposit on and after Jan. 1, 1922, paid by Richmond banks, will be 3 per cent, instead of 4V per cent, which has been the prevailing rate for about a year. The Second National bank, the Union National bank, the First National bank, the American Trust and Savings bank and the Dickinson Trust company, in a statement Friday said this action had become necessary on account of the low income yield prevailr ing on all high grade investment securities. '.'About one year ago," says the statement, "when the banks ot Richmond increased the rate on savings deposits to 4 per cent, the income yield at that time on all good securities was 6 per cent and 7 per cent, and in some instances as high as 8 per cent, and under those conditions we thought we could pay as high rate as 4V2 per cent. Today the income yield on this same class of securities is only 4Vi per cent to 5 per cent. The banks therefore feel that it would be unwise, as well as contrary to the rules of sound and conservative banking, to pay under existing conditions, a greater rate than 3 per cent." The interest rate on bank loans will not be reduced at present, one official said. "Indianapolis and Cincinnati bankers are still making 7 per cent loans."
