FORT WORTH. Texas. April 2l--
The Farmers Union has been. max
ing comparison of the condition Of
farm laborcrs with other classes of
laborcrs in the United States. Peter
Radford. president of the Union, in
discussing the subject said: The ma
ton has been shocked to find young
women receiving wages under $500
per week. but did you ever stop to
consider that the farm laborer works
for less money? The legislature OF
many States has placed an eight-houi
law upon the statute books, but did
ID ever occur TO you that the farmer
works from sun TO sunl'
The Farmers Union is In sympathy
with the working girls and In favor
of oight-hour laws. and we stand fol
fewer hours and better wages for an
who toll, but how about the farm
laborers? There are more men who
labor on the farm than in all other
occupations combined.

per week where they board them

have a family 10 support on this
sum- The farm owner cannot In
crease the wages of his hired help
and "shift the burden" to the con-
sumer as is often the case with the
merchant and the manufacturer lie
does not fix the price OF his products
and while producing the wealth OF

for his services. Overproduction
and crop mortgages force farmers
into ruinous competition with each
other, forcing down prices and COM
pcllinc low wages and long hours.
The remedy lies in organization ano

CEIBEL CONCERT

Young People Of EpwOrth

Eminent VOCaIiStS

Music-loylpg people OF this city
arc locking forward with consider
able interest 10 the spring concert Of
the Geihci Junior Chorus TO be given
i'm Epwoth NJ. Z. Church on Tuesday
evening. April 20. This viii be the
fourth annual concert OF the we'll
known juvenile chorus. it having been
organized three years ago by the di-
rector OF EpNorth Church choir. On
several occasions when they have
sung the church auditorium would
not accommodate the crowds that
wanted 10 hear them. and the con-
eerts were repeated TO give all an
opportunity of enjoying their match
less singing. The chorus this yeai
Is larger than ever. and the seating
capacity of the platform will be tax
ed to IT'S capacity.
The first number on the program
will probably be "All the Birds Are
Singirg,Y a song written especially
for the chorus by Adam Geibel. Mus.
Doc. the famous blind composer oi
Philadelphia. This wonderful choir
Of young singers was named in honor
Of Dr. Geibel. and this talented mu-
sician has acknowledged the comoli-
ment by writing the pretty two part
song especially for them
Another attractive number will be
"The Happy Miller by Thomas. a
three-part song for first and second
soprano and alto. with the melody Of
the refrain on the lower notes. The
audience will doubtless receive this
selection with considerable enthusi-
asm on the night of the concert
Wathall's "By An Indian Campfire"
will be heard with equal enthusiasm
and a number Of other selections
will make up a program of unusual
merit
The assisting musical talent has
0een secured through a Philadelphia
entertainment bureau and consists OF
Ethel Neithammer. a wonderful girl
soprano. known as THE Young Tet-
razzini;n Alexander Zenker, 10y
master OF the violin. and Dorothy
Nicely. their accompanist. All OF
these young performers are wonder
full artists in their line and their
individual work is of the highest
grade The young pianist is a marvel
and plays the most difficult selections
with a grace and case that aston
ishes the audience.
Miss Irene Fulton, the well known
local reader, viii he heard in recita-
tions. and this will add to the even
ings entertainment. Miss Fulton is
very popular as an elocutionist. and
her numbers are always enjoyable
