Hence the interest in the National

Good citizenship is certainly nee
essary in America. Our organization
aims to teach girls how to use the
vote when they get IT,
When a man or woman attends
school It Is his or her ambition to
be fitted TO step into a position in
life that viii help the country. We
are educated TO know what is ex-
pected of us.
II Is just as necessary that we
know what our share Is in govern
mental affairs. When college girls
graduate and reach the voting age,
they will be in a position to step
right into the work carried on by
their mothers before them. II they
make a part OF their college life a
study of how to use the vote.
1t would be a mistake 10 teach
along party lines Simply make Il
training for the good OF America.
The average woman, so we are told,
has a mind OF her own. Teach her
the why's and wherefores OF the vote
and then she will be in position TO
use that mind when the time comes.

Madam Marcia Reads
Hughes Horoscope
BY LoRA KELLY.


WASHINGTON-Germany will pay
her full war debt.
The allies will repay us principal
and interest for all war loans.
Next September our relations with
other nations will come to a climax,
from which we will emerge with our
colors flying.
The coming two years will be es-
pecially fortunate ones for the
Harding administration.
These things are indicated in the
horoscope Of Secretary of State
Hughes. cast by Madame Marcia,
astrologer TO official Washington.
Madame Marcia has startled Wash
ington oficialdom by her accurate
predictions.
One of her prophecies was that
Mrs. Norman Gait would one day be
mistress OF. the White House Six
years later Mrs. Gait became Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson.
Weeks before the Chicago con-
vention Madame Marcia predicted
the presidency for Senator Harding
She enjoys the friendship Of Mrs.
Harding.
II am not a fortune teller" Ma
dame Marcia says. 'I am scientist" &"
she is the widow of a New York
physician.
Her first prediction to attract at
tention was that Of the acquittal Of
Roland b. Molineaux, twice con-
victed OF murder in 1891.
The position of the plants at the
time OF Secretary Hughes birth,
April IL, 1852, indicates he will
WELD powerful influence in the posi-
tion he occupies" says Madame
Marcia.
His signs show ability to foresee
clearly, and presage success in all
affairs where impartial judgment is
necessary" she continues.
He is naturally very cautious.
"In regard to our financial rela-
tions with other nations, Secretary
Hughes is well fitted TO demand and
compel payment from our dar debt
ors He will see to il we get full
reparation. He will give no quarter
where money is concerned.
THE planet Venus indicates his
love OF art, literature. beauty. music,
painting-all the higher mental at
tributes. This would incline him to
be free from vice and evil intent.

Workers Out of Jobs in
Cities Now Drifting Into L.
Pre-War Work
DECIDED CUT
IN WAGES MADE

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Widesnread
unemployment in cities has created
drltt back to the farm and relieved
the rarm labor shortage brought
about during the war, reports of Fed
eral and state employment bureaus
reveal. Farm hands in the great
grain belt Of the Central States are
reported plentiful at wages greatly
reduced as compared with a year
ago.
Farmers. who for several yeara
have been forced to grant almost
any concessions to labor to bring
their crops through are in a positions
this year to dictate terms Of employ
ment according to employment
agency officials. Then, too, ths
farmer faces the problem this year

Farm wages in Kansas this year

year ago, the free employment bu-
reau in that State reports. W. IA
Lewis, Missouri labor commissioner.
declares there probably will not be
any shortage of farm labor this year
and wages probably will be much
lower than in any year since 1916"
In North Dakota a survey dis
closed that farm labor for spring and
summer work was plentiful at from.
$40 to sac a month, as compared
with wages OF from $50 to $50 a
month paid last year.
In Illinois the State Department
OF Labor reports farm hands going
back to the farms and accepting the
cut in wages.
Kansas farmers are demanding
experienced men after worrying
along for several years with any sort
of labor that presented itself, ac-
cording to officials Of the Kansas
Free Employment Bureau. Expert
enced applicants are being located as
fast as they apply, however, while
there are about 16 applicants for
every job open in other lines Of in
dustry, the records show.
The bureau warns that farm hands
who venture to define how many
hours a day they are willing to work
stand a poor chance of getting jobs.
The general scale recognized in
Kansas, the principal growing State,
according to bureau officials, runs:
For experienced hands, from s25 TO
$50 a month (according to expert
ence) for single men, and from $40
TO sos for married men who are will
ing to live on farms with their fam
lies. Last year, the peak year Of
farm wages. the scale ran $40 10 S65
for single men and $50 to $50 for
married men.
The immediate prospect is that
harvest wages this year will be
around So a day, as compared with

OVATION FOR
WELLS, SOLOIST

John Barnes Wells. the soloist, re-
ceived an ovation and the Orpheus
Club achieved a veritable triumph at
the closing concert this season OF the
organization, given in the Playhouse
last evening Numerous encores were
insisted upon.
1t was a distinguished as well as
large assemblage which greeted the
club. In 1t were noted Governor and
Mrs Denney. former Governor John
G.. Townsend, Jr.. Adjutant-General
J. Austin Ellison, General A. p. Cor
bit. Colonel Joseph d. Hartman,
Colonel George w. Sparks, Major
David ]. salter. all Of the governors
staff; Mayor and Mrs. Taylor, Judge
Herbert l.. Rice. and Major and Mrs.
John p. LeFevre, of Dover.
Mr.. Wells sang two groups OF
songs, the first from the old school
classics and the second from the
modern. His first group comprised
"Where'er You Walk" by Handel;
nina" by Pergolese and "The
Sailors Life" and old English folk
song. For the second group he Of
fered "In Fountain Court" by Alex
ander Russell "The Little Bird"
and "wishin' and Fishin'" Of his
own composing; "Serenade'' by
Oley Speaks. and III l We're King, "

As encores. Mr. Wells gave
Sweet Little Mother Of Mine" by
Bartlett; The Lilac Tree" by
George Garlan. and The Lightning

Mr.. Wells achieved such success
az his appearance with the orpheus
last season, that much was expected
of him. Not only did he live up to
the expectations in every way, but
exceeded them. His enunciation and
phrasing were models OF excellence,
and his tone rich and full. Few ar
fists who have sung in Wilmington
have given as much delight.
Under the leadership Of Ralph
Kinder, the Orpheus Club surpassed
all previous efforts in shading and
expression. The pianissimo effects
we're particularly good. 1t sang ten
numbers and several encores. Among
the songs were THE Crusaders" by
Macdowell; "The Vocal Combat"
from melodies Of Balfe and Wright
arranged by Dudley Buck; Wake!
Miss Indy" by H. Waldo Warner;

fenbach, and THE Omnipotence'" by
Schubert. Fred S. Smith accom-
panied the club at the piano, and
Mr. Kinder perforfed a like service
for the solo numbers of MT Wells.
