Farmers unlon News.

From every Southern State comes
the good news that campaign in
the interest of the Farmers Union,
has oeen arranged for July and Au-
gust from South Carolina west, and
South Carolina is now arranging for
thorough campaign of the Palmetto
State.
The time is ripe and the farmers
are more ready to organize than ever
before known. just one good man
in each county of the South for one
mouth organizing the farmers now
will prepare the way to save millions
for the farmer in marketing the
South's next cotton crop. 1t is not
enough to organize farmers for their
own protection and go back home
thinking that the thing will work it.
self. twill not do it! Every county
union in the South should see to it
that at least one county newspaper
in each county carry a column of di-
rect news from organized farmers.
Instead of this farmers colp mn work
ing injury to the regular farmers
Union papers it increases the de-
mand for such papers. The country
or county newspapers are good me-
diums for educating the farmer along
the business side of his farming and
in order to keep up with the progress
of the organized movements of the
farmers every farmer should take at
least one good paper that will give
him the news direct as to how things
are going; but in case satisfactory
arrangements cannot be made with
the established press to carry these
farmers columns in your home pa
pers, letter addressed to this bureau
setting forth the facts in the case,
every local union will be supplied
with sample copies of the best and
cheapest papers in the land of the
South, which will enable each union
to make its own selection at large
club rates.
In order to keep in touch with the
latest prices, plans, and methods of
combining your strength for the
good of all, the farmer must read the
news from reliable sources which will
save money enough on one bale of
cotton to pay for five or six good
newspapers.

"James M. Luber, of near Jalapa,
sowed one and one-fourth acres OF

GREAT AUDIENCE DELIGHTED
WITH THE SINGING PARTY
One of the Most Popular Entertain

Decidedly one of the most popular
attractions that has appeared here

consisted of musical numbers. MAIN
ly the old favorites and including sew
eral very classical selections. Each
number was superbly rendered and
the audience grew very enthusiastic.
The quartette-two gentlemen and
two ladies-is one of the best heard
here in long time. Each possesses
a splendid voice. The quartette gave
three regular numbers and on each
number received from two to five
encores. Among their best rendi-
tions were Strauss "Greeting TO
Spring The Old Oaken Bucket" +"
My Rosary" Creole Love Song
and medley of national airs.
William A. Goldberg, the poss s.
sor of rich baritone. delighted with
Ttlzer's Goodbye, Sweetheart, Good
bye" and Annie Laurie"
John Eichenberger has one of the
sweetest tenor voices imaginable and
his work was brilliant. His charac-
ter song, "Niccolini," rendered with
MIR. Tichenberger in the costume OF
an Italian organ grinder. was one
of the evenings best numbers.
Miss jeanette Fodde. the sweet
contralto, charmed with her solos
while Miss Lottie Fahlen. whose
voice is beautiful and clear soprano
finely and worthily gave the prison
song from al Trovatore," assisted
by Mr.. Goldberg.
The second part of the entertain
ment consisted of a series of scenes
and the Offering of the best musical
numbers from the delicious opera
made famous by Lulu Glaser, Dolly

Cannibal Maid" Brides and
Grooms." 81 Am No Longer Dolly
Warden" and several other of the
dainty numbers from the opera and
pretty scenes were delightfully."- pre-
sented.
There is no question but what the
Kellog-Haines Singing Party made
good in Grand Junction. The audi
ence was fully satisfied.
In passing, credit should be given
the pianist. who. while he had nc
individual numbers, proved himself
an accompanyist of rare ability and
a pianist of the highest class.
