HE MEMBERSHIP OF the
Mendelssohn choir Of Omaha
Is now busy with its annual
- work of securing pledges for
It1Nl1INI the coming series Of concerts
- with the Chicago Symphony
orchestra and the question on every hand
Is Have you signed the pledge?"
There is very strong point Of inter-
est in the matter this year, because the
support Of the joint series of annual
concerts by these two organizations will
decide whether they will be continued.
The reason is this: Five years ago
the Mendelssohn choir entered into a
contract with the Chicago Symphony or
chestra- which was then the Theodore
Thomas orchestra, for a series of annual
concerts TO be held in the spring of each
season at the Auditorium on a basis OF
popular subscription. This contract was
to remain in force for five years, de-
pending upon the financial support Sc
cured by the local organization. That
organization did its work well and last
season Cthere was a board of guaran-
t0rs). the choir and orchestra each lost
money for the first time. 1t was found
that some subscriptions had been cut
down and financial support in some
quarters was not forthcoming, owing to
the fact that there was board Of guar
antors to take up any deficit. In view
of this the management decided not to
call on the guarantors at all and so
each party in the partnership paid up
his share Of the loss and closed the
books.
-FUra., 81.
reverted to: the subscription is to be
popular and there will be no board of
guarantors to fall back on, but, of course,
generous subscriptions or donations TO a
cash guarantee fund will be highly ac-
ceptable.
There will be one feature this year which
viii prove attractive and that is in re-
gard to the season ticket. Previously
this ticket has been issued to cover one
admission for the holder to each of the
three concerts, so that in order to get
advantage of the low subscription rate
the holder had to attend each Of the
three concerts. This year the tickets
will be in the nature of coupon book.
containing two evening coupons and one
afternoon coupon. These will be inter
tHdnSSdDISs lue nolueT can use Two even
ing tickets on one evening. and IL he so
elects he can convert the matinee ticket
into an evening one by paying so cents
additional the matinee being 81 and the
evening $3.50. for the regular admission
price. ..
The programs this year will be of a
highly popular nature. consisting of the
fsvorite numbers of the last four seasons.
So that the Mendelssohn choir is justl-
fled in its aim to get out the entire music
loving population of Omaha and vicinity
and fill the Auditorium by subscription.
If this proves to be successful immedi-
ate steps will be taken to try to secure
the partnership contract of the choir and
orchestra for another period OF five years
In any case, the Mendelssohn choir will
continue its activity.

A concert which is arousing extraor-
binary interest In musical as we'll as So
cisl circles, is the appearance OF Miss
Frances Nash. pianist with the Min
neapolis Symphony orchestra, at the Boyd
theater on Friday evening, February 10.
This is Miss Nash's first appearance
since her return from Europe, and as she
has always been deeply in earnest and
has spent much time in serious study.
much is expected of this gifted young
musician.
Miss Nash's propensity for hard work
quite disproves the old belief that only
abject poverty and it's accompanying Bit
ter struggles develop genius. She APP
peared as soloist with the Berlin Phil
harmonic society shortly before her re-
turn to America, and the testimonials of
her success are strong proof OF attain
ment in her chosen art When Miss Nash
played the E Minor Concerto (Chopin)
with the Philharmonic orchestra in
Dresden she was recalled five times.
Surely a flattering tribute to a strange
young artist.
The artistic gifts of Miss Nash are re-
garded as an inheritance, for she comes
of family which has long been COM
posers for its love, study and patronage
of the arts.
For the approaching concert the entire
membership of the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra. eighty-five players, will appear.
under the direction of Mr.. Emil ODER

BY w. S. GILBREATH

ID w. .. NTlLDIsIA1 II
Field Secretary of the Dixie Highway
Association.)
1t is HARDLY possible for the aver
age mind to appreciate the enthusiasm
which has been engendered by the
Dixie Highway as subject of thought.
That the people are thinking big is
certainly emphasized to one coming in
contact with the immense number OF
people that it has been my privilege to
meet along the line of the Dixie High
way in the last few months. | believe
that they are not only looking at the
subject from the good roads viewpoint
Tut from the idealistic one and the
national one as well.
President Wilson has very apt'y
said, "A nation is bound together by
its means of communication
means of communication create its
thought. Its means of inter-communi-
cation are the means of its sympathies,
they are the means by which various
parts of it keep in touch with one an
other" And to appreciate the thought
behind these words, one would have To
make a journey over the Dixie High
way and in a measure commune with
the various people along the route.
Emerson has said that Nothing
great is ever accomplished without en-
thusiasm.' Now most enthusiasts
really lack the power of putting into
practical operation their ideas. The
Dixie Highway association was created
for this very purpose, for the purpose
of concentrating, capitalizing, if you
will, the immense amount of enthus-
iasm created by the suggestion of such
g highway. By the word capitalizing
mean solidifying it and putting it
into workable shape, into such shape
that it will do some thing, build and
create. To do this, it is necessary to
make the people realize the national
character of such highway.
President Wilson has also said,
when l think of what the highway
means, I seem to be thinking of the
whole history of the human race. When
/ used to read stories, remember nv
imagination was most fascinated when
the characters met the rest of the
world on a journey. On the old high
ways you met everybody, from the
king to the beggar, from the king to
the highwayman. You were there, in
a way to have the adventure, the whole

and for the most part they depend on
foreign countries for raw materials
Altogether in Holland there are en-
gagged in the textile trades $40 power
factories and $500 otner works where
purely hand labor is employed. In
these concerns about $4,000 people
earn their living.
Up till a few years ago, much OF the
mems and women's ready-made cloth
ing sold in Holland came from Ger
many, but recently Dutchment have
applied themselves to this trade, which
ct the beginning of the war, saw it-elf
almost entirely in Dutch hands. Peo-
PIE in this country have been forced,
however, to economic by the prevail
il g conditions and the clothing manu-
facturers have felt the pinch of the
war just as much as any other branch
of the textile trades.

Holland Suffers On All Sides
In Her Textile Manufactures
Because Of Being Shut off

TWENTHE, Netherlands, Nov 10
The textile trade one of the principal
industries in Holland is suffering at
tack from both Germany and Great
Britain, the first of which refuses to
provide sufficient dye-stuffs, while the
latter restricts the supply of the raw
materials required to keep the Dutch
spindles going.
Ever since August, 1914, the various
branches of the tevtile trade here have
have experienced difficulties in keeping
mills at work. At first there was
certain amount of raw stuffs on hand
to furnish the looms which were kept
busy bv the orders from the Dutch mil
itary authorities for clothing for the
rapidly-mobilized Dutch troops. Then,
however. came restrictions on imports
ard exports, which was accompanied
by depression in the home purchasing
market.
This district is the center of the tex
tile trades. In the immediate vicinity
OF Twenthe in normal times $4,000
looms and 100000 spindles are busy

experience and adventure of English
life, because it was there that English
life interlaced and crossed and was
fluid, flowing from one region to an
ether, and by means of the same to-
ken, it was upon the highways that
ment get to contacts which result in
the building up of public opinion. 1t
is of the most fundamental Importance
that the United States should think
in big pieces, should think together
should think untimely of the people"
This expresses just exactly what the
people are thinking about in this
country now, and to come in touch
with the people in the various coun-
ties, towns and cities more clearly en-
phasizes in my mind, that they are
thinking along just these lines, as
President Wilson has so we'll eX-
pressed that the people of the middle
west went when the government began
the construction of the Cumberland
road This was the opening up of
new territory, and the people on the
Dixie Highway will undoubtedly open
up a new, yet old, territory, which
will show a wonderful increase and
development as the road progresses.
1t is not alone the people of the North
who are seeking to tour the South, The
people of the South are seeking to tour
the North, and after having completed
the journey from Miami to Chicago, l
am more than ever convinced that
this Dixie Highway will be the greatest
project for the betterment of general
conditions in the entire country before
the American people today.
Thousands of people, both North and
South ARE inquiring daily as to the
feasibility of travel over this road. At
every step made on this trip, scores
OF people in towns and villages per-
sistently inquired about the road ev-
en- to the minutest details. The interest
and enthusiasm has not abated one
jot. On the other hand, it is very APP
parent that it is being formed into ac-
tive working shape. Even those coun-
ties which have seemingly been
backward in their support of the
highway, are thinking deeply on the
subject. Some of them are little bit
slow to realize just exactly what ben
efits they will derive, but the immense
amount of publicity that has been
given to the highway by the newspa-
pers is gradually educating them and
in very large measure helping TO
solidify the enthusiasm. 1t would take
volumes to properly record the history
of this movement, up to the present
time. The great idea of intercommun-
ication has taken strong hold of the
people. This is very clearly empha
sized in the fact that hundreds of 9TH
err roads connecting with the highway
proper are springing up all along the
world that the Dixie Highway move
ment has had more to do with the bet
ter roads movement than any other
movement recorded in the history of
the country, and it speaks well for the
temper of the people and their bigness
of thought if President Wilson's state
ment that "you cannot nationally in
crease the prosperity of this country
without increasing the road facilities
of this country" is true, certainly we
are on the verge of great prosperity.
