GOODWILL SPRING MUSI-
CALI TO CREATE MUCH
NEW INTEREST

To the many friends and lovers
OF the Goodwill Spring Musical, l
wish to say that we are about to
start u work in preparing for
our Fifth Annual musical. We feel
we have tried to live up to our
motto of getting digger and bet
ter each year. It IS for you how
ever, to decide just how near we
have reached our goal.
The past years have shown us
Just how much the public appreci-
ates these musical, because each
year the attendance has grown
rapidly. We had It at our three
largest ehruehes and there was
not enough DON at any n of
them. Last year we went to Cen
trail High school Auditorium. and
still we did not have enough seats.
So this means we as choirs must
do more work in preparing for
the next one. Since this is true, the
presidents Of the choirs that took
an active part in last years ser
vices are asked to meet at the home
cf l.. L. McVay, 1868 Corby St.,
nexs Sunday, January %, at a P.
NJ, to talk over the outlook for our
fifth annual musical which will
rake place the last Sunday in
April. This will be the fifth Sun
day in April and we hope all chur-
shcs and civic groups will leave
shs date open that all the people
Of Omaha may have . chance 30
stiness this programs.
The Host Choir is decided in this
manner. The choirs that wish to be
hosts send in by their choir presi-
dent a written invitation, inviting
the choirs to be their guests on
this day. These invitations are
read and the presidents of the
choirs vote by ballot as to which
one will be accepted as host. The
Choir receiving the largest num-
Der of votes is declared host.
The choirs that do not succeed in
becoming host still look forward
to tho next year with the hope of
getting il.
It will perhaps be interesting
to the choirs TO know that our
Spring Musical has caused other
people Of both races to attempt
to do this same thing.
Let us look forward now to the
fifth Sunday in April 1889 with a
100 per cent spirit Of solidarity. In
fact I think this word Solidarity
should be used as our slogan. Read
your local papers and keep posted
on the news about this great event
when all Omaha will come out and
do honor to their Church Choirs.

COUNTY CROPLAND
UNDER PROGRAM

Instructions on checking COM
pliance in the 1889 AAA program
were given farm reporters at an
all-day meeting in WabasSo to-
day. County Agent j. I. Swed-
berg and George Claussen, chief
of the soil conservation program
here, explained procedure. Mem
bers of the county conservation
committee also attended.
The AAA office announced this
week that 13 more checks for
contracts under last years pro-
gram arrived in Redwood county
this week. They totalled $1,884.60.
Redwood county farmers will
set new records for participation
in AAA farm programs this year,
the chairman announced. He
pointed out that approximately
1913 per cent of all cropland, 362,-
983 acres, in the county will be
farmed in cooperation with the
AAA this year. This is an in
crease of 1877, 795 acres over last
year. On a farm basis, 1893, or
748 per cent, will take part in
1899, as against 1,040, or 80 per
cent in 1888.
"The increase is due to four
factors" Mr.. Claussen comment
ed. Individual farm allotments
and other details of the program
were announced far enough in
advance of planting time to allow
farmers to make the necessary
adjustments in their operations,
the program fits the county better;

given a clearer understanding of
aims and provisions and farmers
are more aware of the problem
facing them in their efforts to adj
just agriculture to present condi-
