Lindsborg Chorus Sings
for Pure Love of Music

Annie Swensson, both of Lindsborg,
and G.. II. Beckman and f. a. Linder
of Rock Island, Ill.
1t was the same season that The
Messiah" was given by the Bethany
chorus at Salemsborg, a country church
near Lindsborg. J. NJ. Nelson, who
ever to this day is a member, drove
the horses that pulled the lumber wag-
on wherein some of the chorus mem
bers rode. The bass violin of the or
chestra was tied to the rear end of the
wagon.
That was the beginning. This must
cal organization has grown steadily In
numbers. Every year "The Messiah"
has been given one to four times. But
the o~ratorio is no longer sung in the
nent auditorium, seating 1900 persons,
built especially for the chorus.
The Roll of Conductors
The conductors, since the Inaugural
ton of 'sThe Messiah have been Mrs.
Alma Swensson, p. T. Lindholm, n. A.
Krantz, Sigfrid Laurin, Samuel Thors-
tenberg, q. H. Malloy, Earl Rosenberg
and the present conductor, Hagbard
Brase. Professor Brase has been con-
ductor since 1915.
OF those VINO participated In the r1rst
presentation of 1.-THE Messiah" very
few remain, but the chorus still num-
bers among its members a number who
took part 80 years ago. Mrs. Alma
Swensson. the first conductor, is one
of the singers who will be with the
organization when it appears in Kansas
City, November 10 and 10. She has
sung in the oratorio every year since
1882.
The members of the chorus sing for
the pure love and enjoyment of music.
True, an admittance price is charged at
the annual Easter festivals, but the
and players neither ask nor expect any
compensation for their services.

Labor Notes

A library of industrial relations has
been established at Princeton univer-
sity to help fill the growing need for
a special source of comprehensive in
formation on industrial relationships
and the human factor in industry.
According to a statement issued by
the Pennsylvania railroad, the annual
wages are $3.50 as against $3.50 in
1914, while government figures show
that the cost of living has increased
81 per cent.
The Chilean government has sent a
representative to study conditions OF
textile manufacture in Germany.
The more than 5000 employees OF
the John A. Roebling company at
Trenton, n. j., have been insured By
the company under one blanket policy.
An increase of 20 per cent has been
granted to common labor employed in
the window glass industry in New
York.
Eastern Pennsylvania iron puddlers
have been granted an increase of 81
a ton, making the present rate IS a
ton.
Approximately 100. 1000, 900 pounds
of p p will be utilized this year in
the manufacture of automobiles In this
country. This is an increase of
80, ZOO, 900 pounds over 1921, and about
100000 pounds more than 1870. In
which latter year the automobile In
dustry consumed 1853 per cent Of the
total copper production.

its mercantile feet and the Seamen's

the ships, to be operated comparatively
by the union. following the example
set by the italian Seamen's guild,
which operates a cooperative mer-
chant fleet.
Owing to the depression in the ship
building industry all the shipyards are
devoting their attention to other work
in order to. tide over the prevailing
difficulties. The Fujimagata snipJard
at present is mainly engaged III the
manufacture of water pipes Il tram
way carriages, while the Wawasa yard
in manufacturing railway locomotives
and tenders, steel bridge Orders, oil
tanks, steel poles, railway car
riages, etc.
Canadian railways have slashed
some S200,0 900 from their semi-monthly
wage bill to their shop employees. de-
spite the overwhelming strike ballot
which union leaders hold in their hands
from about $1,000 men employed from
coast to coast.
According to an estimate by the
Swiss Textile Workers association, a
textile worker received in 1914 a wage
of 1914 francs n year more than was
actually necessary to get the neces-
sary focdstuffs and commodities for
daily use regarded as the minimum by
the Federation of Swiss Consumer As
soc;ations. In the year 1921. the
same worker earned 154 francs fewer
than were necessary to meet this
requirement.

MISS SCOTNEY WON

MELBOURNE CROWD
Great Diva First Heard OPP.
cratic Star When She Was
Unknown to Fame.

1t was while singing at a reception
in Melbourne, Australia, given in honor
of the late Lord Kitchener, that II
year-old Evelyn Scotney received the
opportunity that eventually landed her
in the foremost ranks of the Metro
politan Grand Opera company. At
that memorable reception the whole
assemblage was thrilled by the sweet
young voice and the beautiful face of
the unknown singer. Among the
guests there was one who listened with
more than interest. This was Nine.
Nellie Melba. Her whole being seem
ed to vibrate to the music. When the
song was finished the great prima
donna rose.
II must meet that singer" she said,
Fastening up to the young performer.
Thus began the interest which soon
ripened into a deep regard and friend
ship between the two. 1t was at Nine.
Melba's direction that Evelyn went to
Paris and continued her vocal studies
under the great diva's teacher, Mar
chest. She progressed rapidly, and
Melba has lived to see her protege de-
velop into one of the loveliest colora-
tura singers of the day.
Miss Scotney will open the concerts
of the Great Falls Artist Series in
October. Besides Miss Scotney, Will
Steege, manager of the concert course,
will bring such well known artists as
Nine. Nevada Van derVeer, contralto,
and Reed Miller, tenor, who will ap-
pear in joint concert; Paul Althouse,
foremost American tenor Of the Met

Salvi, the worlds greatest harpist, and

complete production Of Mozart's

dous reserves Of power and sorority
when he needs them, but in general
he plays with marked restraint and an
admirably balanced sense of proper
ton. He can play with great delicacy
too, and with unsurpassed beauty and
tenderness. Everything he does, how
ever is instinct with n fine manliness
and deliberate, almost indolent
strength. The volume Of his tone
upon occasion, is tremendous, yet he
did not pound. AS his passionate out
bursts are never hysterical, so, too, he
is never sentimental in his lyric mo-
ments. His tone sings, but it does not
wine. he never slops over, or let's
tenderness degenerate into flabbiness
Even at its lightcst, most capricious
his playing is virile and adult. 1t sings
not like a child. but with the brave
gayety of the happy warrior"

CIRCUS MANS SON
FORSAKES BIG TOP
FOR OPERA CAREER
Cousin of Richard Ringing of
White Sulphur Springs Sings
in LA Traviata."

If you offered the average Amer
lean boy a career in the circus or q
chance to make himself famous OF the
operate stage, which would he choose!
The circus, of course.
Not so with Robert Ringing, son OF
Charles Ringing, the millionaire owner
of the greatest show on earth" Life

the sawdust, the glitter of spangles
and the romance of tented cities that

New York Evening Mail. Robert is q
cousin of Richard It. Ringing of White
Sulphur Springs, the latter also being
a son of one of the Ringing brothers
of circus fame.
And now, after nearly Il years of
study, Robert has made his debut as q
professional operate baritone before
New York audiences. His role was
that of Germont in la Trsviata" at
the Academy of Music, Brooklyn
where n company organized by Josiah
EURO has opened for a program of
grand opera.
A Child of the Circus
The first IL years of Roberts life,
he said in q recent interview, were
spent in Baraboo, Wis, which was the
winter quarters of the circus at that
time. When he was Is years old, his
father sent him on the road with the

him, but he continued to yearn for the

Matters

The scale on which music has been
developed as a community enterprise IN
Lndsborg. Kan, has attracted the at
tention of the whole United States
and is one of the inspirations which
encouraged the musical Arts associa-
ton of Great Falls to attempt its am
bilious artists course at the Palace
theater this year. The history of the
Bethany Oratorio society Of Lindsborg
was briefly outlined in a recent issue
of the Kansas City Star, particular
emphasis being put on the fact that
members of the chorus in the Bethany
society sing for the pure love and en-
joyment of music.
The Star says:
To the Bethany Oratorio society,
siah" for more than 40 years, Bethany
college owes thanks for the first build
ing fund the institution ever had. 1t
was in March, 1882, that the initial
public singing of 1.-THE Messiah" was
given in Lindsborg and the proceeds,
$3.50, went into the Golfers of the
school.
To this sum of $3.50 were afterwards
added other sums, from which grew the
present main building. Then, too, since
that time all earnings, after expenses
have been paid, have gone to the college
treasury.
In 1882, DR.. Carl Swensson, founder
Of Bethany college, organized the cho-
rus. His wife, Mrs. Alma Swensson,
was the directress. The rehearsals be-
gan in January and involved a great
deal Of work. but they were attended
faithfully and the training was efficient.
