Farmers Wives Find That
Music Keeps Hired Help
Happy.

Some very illuminating tes,imo-
mails to the value Of music in agra
rian home life are given by several
contributors to Prairie Farmer one
reader declared that music has con-
tributed more to her happy married
life on the farm than anything else.
Another says she would put a musi-
cal instrument into every home in
the land. and that music in her
house is as essential as are tho
meals ON the table.

a talking machine in every home IN

there is no better cure for bad

is no medicine more pleasant to

ORGANISTS ARE
POOREST PAID
Clarence Eddy Says They
Should Demand Just
Compensation.

That the financial position of the
organist in America has not ad-
vanced abreast of the times is the
opinion of Clarence Eddy. in an in
teresting number of the Etude.
There is no class of musicians" :"
says M-. Eddy, more imposed upon
than OrCanists, and, although their
salaries as a rule are ridiculously
low, yet they are expected to give
unstintingly of their time, even to
the extent of playing for weddings
and funerals without any compen-
sation.
There is no branch in the musi-
cal profession so poorly paid as the
average church organist. The sit
uatiOn is not encouraging. On the
contrary; it seems to be continually
growing worse, in spite of the price
schedules which are steadily in
creasing in the matter of living
and other expenses. The fault is
not alone with the Organists them
selves, who fail to demand COM
mcnsurate and more just compen-
satiOn, but with the management
Of the churches. who arc satisfied
to pay absolutely nothing, or as
little as possible. The organist who
frequently engaged, while in many
cases a good position is withheld
from competent player because a
student wishes to practice upon the
organ, and will play the church
services for nothing for that privi-
lege. This is not right, nor fair!
Unfortunately in this beloved coun-
try of ours there is lack of
proper respect for and national
pride in our own artists and our
own music.
Where music is concerned we
are not at all patriotic, and we
really do not judge a thing upon
its merits, but are very apt to
award the frs: prize and place to
foreigner. This was true before
the war, and it is true today. And
in no branch of the musical pro-
fession is this more applicable
than to the organists of this
country"

GOOD CHANCE

Visiting Artists Should Be
Invited to- Meet Sales
people.

"One of the big opportunities most
often neglected by talking machine
merchants is that afforded by the
visit Of celebrated artists to their
city" says Robert Gordon in the
Talking Machine World.
The public interest in concerts
was never so great as it is today.
In recent years there has been a
great impetus to musical art through
the medium of the talking machine
and the player piano, which have
introduced music in homes where
ignorance of it formerly prevailed.
Yet few dealers avail themselves of
the great opportunity which the
visit OF a great artist affords them.
Get advanced information as to
the program the artist is to give.
Make an enlarged copy of this pro-
gram about "a by 40 inches in size
and place it in your window. Under
each number in the program list
the records which you have in stock
OF the same composition, either by
the artist himeslf or by other artists.
Next, and most important, is to
arrange for a visit of the artist to
your store. When the artist arrives
be prepared to take photographs of
him, being careful to include some
familiar portion of your store in
the background. Introduce all your
sa.esmen to the artist, and get an
informal interview with him. Ask
what his favorite records are-which
of his own records he likes the most
and, if possible, draw out some anec-
dotes which he may have associated
with his various records. This per-
sonal contact with the artist is
splendid material for your statesmen
to use later"

Philadelphia has a talking clock

mother and daughter have breakfast

Time t" go to work. the clock
soon warns Mr.. Pinto and his son,
and at it informs Mrs. Pinto its
the hour to do her marketing.
And so through the day the clock
speaks, finishing its work at II p.

stern, can be heard saying: Time

Of all the nature work in the

their different types and appear
ances, their habits, their calls, is
most interesting to children. And
OF all the information about birds,
their varied and beautiful songs and
calls is the most important. Why?
The singing of birds is the voice
of Nature itself To teach children
the calls of birds is to open to them
the heart of nature. In this press
ing matsrialistic age, when the call
of business success is so urgent, it
is well that in the teaching of chill
dren We bring to them any mes
sage from the great mother of all
of us-Nature. And what more ap-
pealing, what purer or fresher,
what more inspiring for sweetening
our daily lives than TO study the
calls of the birds as they tell each
other their stories of love, and
cheer and optimism?
The one person who knows about
the birds. who has made it a life
long. loving study, and who can i'm
itate them most delightfully."- and
accurately is Edward Avis. He has
appeared throughout the country
with his interesting talks and imi-
tations and has always created the
greatest enthusiasm. The Columbia
Graphophone Company offers these
inimitable calls in record form.
They will enrich the record library
Of any home.
These records are of still further
service by the association with Mr.
Avis of Howard r. Garis, whose
Uncle Wiggily" stories are known
and loved by the children readers
Of The Herald. Mr.. Garis himself
tells an interesting story to the
children about the birds. and then
Mr.. Avis provides the calls. This
combination is Irresistible in its ap-
peal TO the child-mind and interest.
