with families, who, longing for homes
of their own and being incapable of
always earning living in crowded
cities, were deSirouS of trying their
fortunes with gardens or on farms.
"A society at work on the East Side
in New York found that most of the
men and women whom il was teaching

guage understood more or less about

Back of the plan i am desert ibing are
wealthy men who are willing TO pur-
chase large tracts of land and TO cut il
up into small holdings. The scheme.
when carried out, will be financed in
that manner No funds will be asked
of the government.
Let US say that four sections of land
are bought in Ohio, Louisiana or Texas
and divided into fifty farms ranging
from ) to 100 acres. The land would be
sold to coloniStS at cost. Each farm
would be IenCeu ana on II d mousse anu
a barn would be constructed. A well
would be dug. Agricultural imp1e-
ments. horse or mule, cow. two pigs
and a dozen chickens would be sup
piled to every colonist.
Private capital, remember, would pay
for everything. The colonists. after
harvesting two or three crops, would
begin to meet their indebtedness. Year
by year their payments would go on
until the land was clear and their own.
Probably they would belong to one
race or to one religion. Perhaps. If
they were Americans, they would be
old neighbors and acquaintances. Each
man would buy and pay for his own
property, but on the installment plan,
as l have stated, and alta low rate of
interest. The enterprise as whole
would not be communistic in any sense,
but cooperative. If the celonists SO de-
sired.
DIR Carver says the organization of
the whole community for self-help is
desirable wherever possible. The plan
that he has worked out is similar to
that of chambers of commerce in some
of our cities, where the membership of
the organization is divided into COM
mittees each member being assigned to
the committee whose work interests
him the most.

OF the latter, Henry Bergman and

on the stage for IS years. He began

"The Telephone Girl" and in that
comedy made his first song hit, the
same being my Estelle," He then
did a season with Joe Hart and

comedy characters. At this time
Gladys Clark was the ingenue of the
Boston Music hall, appearing with
Blanche Ring and other artists in a
burleque of THE Village Postmas-

ried Gladys Clark, and the two have
appeared continuously in vaudeville
since that time, with the exception
of the past two years when they
appeared in musical comedy.

heart.
Heart music is heard altogether
too seldom at recitals and concerts
The academic, frigid critics frown on
it as popular" and encourage the
musicians in their stupid professional
notion that composition, to be high
class, must be very long and very
difficult. Thus it happens that SON
atlas and symphonies and show
pieces are flung at the public, while
the shorter things that speak direct
ly to the heart are neglected.
ut is not the idea of Mr.. Finck
or of the other sponsors of heart
music that it should supplant the
art forms and the classical roper
toire. A judicious admixture of all
tie styles is the surest way for a
concert given to interest the largest
number of auditors. 1t never will
hurt the classics to program them
with lesser music. 1t is amazing,
though, to find how frequently some
of the latter holds its own with the
classics.
Lest we forget, Mozart, Haydn,
Beethoven and Bach were not in

Schumann, Brahms, Debussy and

BY HENRIETTA M. REEFS.

IN HERE have been many express
sions of satisfaction about the
opening concert OF the Omaha
Woman's Club Music department
professional series. A fine audience
was present at the first one, an audi
ence that listened attentively, and
seemed to enjoy thoroughly the var
ious numbers OF the program. 1t
was not an audience which had the
attitude that it was doing duty by
being present. There was none of
that pious aloofness nor that martyr
air easily recognizable under certain
circumstances. Nor was there any
attitude of Indifference or safety
with but a small amount OF music.
There was more the certainty that
each member of the audience had
been let in on a good thing, that
here was an opportunity to hear
some really interesting episodes
from the literature of music, and to
become familiar with them, There
were numbers which many of those
present had never heard before, and
to hear them had all the charm of
reading. new story. A great many
of the audience had heard the play
ers before; they knew how they
played and they were sure of them,
and they were not only interested in
the personality of the players but in
the selections for themselves, and it
seemed that the more of them they
heard the more they liked. The audi
ence which attends this course will
have listened not only to the num-
erous local artists who will make up
the personnel of the series, but they
will also have taken course in hear
ing many of the works of many of
the greatest composers which they
would not otherwise have known. A
wide range of selections will be
covered, in voice, violin and piano,
and at the close an inventory will
disclose that there are great many
more interesting songs, violin COM
positions and piano solos than the
average listener ever thought there
were and that the selection will not
need to duplicate the programs of
visiting artists to be so, either.
in his always variegated and il
luminative Evening Post column
Henry T. Finck tells of some mo-
mentous recent musical occasions
connected with happenings during
the recent war, and recalls especially
the patriotic tonal outbursts in the
cathedral of liberated Journal, a,
st. Paul'S Uondon) when the Unit
ed States entered the conflict, and in
Petrograd when the whole nation
poured out its gratitude by singing
the country's anthem on the eve
ming OF the first fall of Przemysl.
The snow was falling fast, while
from all the churches and from the
streets resounded the sublime strains
of the national hymn sung with un-
precedented fervor.
Mr.. Finck proceeds as follows:
when music thus becomes vital
an integral part of life itself, 1t is a
very different thing from the arti-
fcialties of Our opera houses and
concert halls, where audiences, as
a rule, 60 for mere entertainment,
