We are in receipt of an official com-1 munication from the "Department of Information. U. S. Grain Growers, Inc." which contains matter of interest to many of our readers, and particularly to those who have Just affiliated with that organization. The letter was sent us for publication in the interest of the Grain Growers, and the part of especial importance with relation to future plans of conducting membership campaigns is herewith quoted, as follows: "CHICAGO.

Mr. Garton himself appeared in three
numbers, "The Little Damozel," "In a , Gondola" and "Calling to You" in which his fine tenor voice was heard to good advantage. -His every appearance was encored repeatedly and he responded with a clever song called "Her Dream." Miss Mary Carman, well-known local pianist acted as Mr. Carton's accomranist. The program was a varied one and included quartets, duets, solos and a clever reading, "Fast Friends," by Miss Kerlin and Miss Schell which was one of the hits of the evening. Nellie Donovan in Irish songs in costume and Miss Kerlin in Colonial costume were recalled, both singing with much appreciation of the characters of the lyrics presented and both made pleasing appearances. Nellie Donovan in an aria from Mignon displayed a warm sympathetic contralto and Jeannette Schell in the "One Fine Day" from "Madame Butterfly" disclosed a fresh youthful soprano. Further variety was given the program by the introduction of two piano solos by Miss Kerlin and Miss Scheil. The quartet numbers were all encored the fresh clear youthful voices blending harmoniously and showing good training and flexibility.

B. C. Marsh, managing director of
the Farmers' National Council, claims that the tariff bill reported by the senate finance committee: "Is the worst of the many gold bricks handed farmers by the present administration.' How does Marsh manage to get that way? He goej on to say that if tariff-farmers wanted to "give farmers the same protection as they do manufactured products the duty on wheat would have been placed at $1 a bushel, instead of 30 cents; on green hides at least six cents a pound, instead of two cents, on eggs at least 35 cents a dozen and on wool 45c to 50c a pound, instead of 33 cents." He insists that: "The senate bill is evidently framed to permit manufacturers to continue the profiteering they carried on during the war." It is possible that Mr. Marsh may know a little something about farming and feeding, but that he could frame a satisfactory tariff bill is to be doubted, supposing he had a whole life-time to do it in.

"The Fraternal Order of Eagles is conducting a campaign in Indiana to organize an old-age pension club in every community where they have an aerie. Already more than 70 of the?e clubs have been formed, and candidates for the legislature are awakening to the fact th?t they will have the voting strength of these clubs to con tend with in the coming primary and election. Already politicians and candidates are expressing sympathy with the movement but what we want is their pledge to support an old-age pension law at the 1923 session of the legislature. "The plan of the Eagles is to have each aerie appoint a committee of five whose duty shall be to organize a club in their community. These five can add the names of as many men and women to their committee as they choose, and canvass the community for members of the club, having them sign a pledge to support an old-age pension law; then appoint a committee to visit all legislative candidates, and in the name of the club demand their support of such a law."

"Our territorj near Minsk covered five districts, in which we distributed relief for the Quakers, and for the Joint Distribution committee (Jewish) which had asked the American Friends' service committee to act as field agent for their funds. "Up to February. 88.000 refugees had passed through Minsk, and of that number, about 11,000 were detained in Minsk for sickness, or because they lacked the papers to take them through. "Scurvey and typhus, and pure starvation caused most of the sickness. Most of the children were lit

"As soon as possible, the relief workers are organizing 'clean-up' campaigns, in order to get all the dead bodies buried and to remove as. far as possible all the surface effects of the famine from the country.

CINCINNATI, April 26. One of the most novel suggestions for the use of the radiophone is advanced by James G. Fisk. a member of the Cincinnati board of education.

Fisk says further that under his plan each of the 45,000 school children in this city would be furnished with a receiving set and that the leEsons would be broadcasted at certain hours of the day from a central station. The children, he said, would go to the school buildings but once a week for further instruction. He declares the plan would entail a saving of hundreds of thousands a year to taxpayers.
