SACRIFICE OF dime It So mi BARBARIC MUSIC FEATURE OF "THE FLAME," DUE HERE SOON Richard Walton Tully's Latest Success Has Exotic Setting, Driving Action and Gorgeous Scenic Effects Weird Musical Effects Produced. CUTTING OFF ON General Manager of Dairy men's League Says Move to Avoid Famine Is Needed. (ON'T you let anything keep you away from coming PUBLIC APPRECIATION AIM 16 COWS MILK veircosits Habit Formed of Selling Animals as Tliey Go Dry to Escape Buying Higli-Priced Feed Cuts Down Herds 1000 Monthly. Bo acute Is the situation with which dairymen are confronted that many of them are selling off their herds, in some instances with a view to groins out of business entirely and in other to cut down the cost of operation, hop ing to tide themselves over "until something happens" to help them through the crisis, according to F. M. Kiger, general manager of the Oregon Dairymen's League and president of the Milk Producers' Association, him self prominent in the business. Portland's milk supply is in grave danger and what there is has fallen, in great part, to inferior quality, com pared with what it used to be, said Mr. Kiger, who declared yesterday that the league is confronted with one of the most difficult of problems that of maintaining a sufficient amount to carry local consumers on what dairy men say are rates still too low to en able them to handle their product with profit, when condensaries are offering fancy prices. Dry Cows Sent to Block. "Figures obtained from the author ities at the Portland Stockyards Com pany show that an average of 1000 'Ows a month are being slaughtered there, which are sold by dairymen who are or have been engaged in producing milk for Portland consumption," said Sir. Kiger. "The fact is that these cows are those which have gone .dry and rather than feed them at the prevailing extremely high rates for feed, owners are sacrificing them to hold down oper ation cost. This is an alarming situ ation and demands immediate attention and solution, else the supply of milk is going to be inadequate to the de mand, no matter what prices are paid lor it. "I know one dairyman who sells in the Irvlngton district who is selNng one cow every month . to. help pay for the feed for the others. Personally, I am preparing to sell 6U head of my own herd for the reason that I muat have some means of lessening the bur den regarding feed. Others are in simi lar condition and it is becoming criti cal. Public Support Demanded. "The Oregon Dairymen's League is endeavoring to arrange matters so that its members will be able to pull through, but it is absolutely necessary to have the fullest co-operation of the consuming public in order to do this. The supply must be protected at all hazards and this means that the dairy man must be supported by the . public; they should stand by him and patronize him, even though it be necessary for him to charge them a trifle more than formerly, and they should not desert him to buy from grocers who may be found selling milk at reduced rates, for such milk cannot be of fit quality and it only imperils the supply by help ing to drive honest men out of busi ness. "Producing milk is a hard business, fraught with much hard work, and it might well be- asked how long people living in the city would go out in rain and storm, work early and late and undergo all manner of hardships to supply milk to farmers; yet that is Just what the dairy farmer does for city folk. I maintain that it is a patriotic duty for the consumer to stand by the producer now and assist him to keep on his feet until conditions bring about a change sufficient for him to main tain himself." -.

BARBARIC music jars most of us There Is a certain nerve-wracking monotony in the unending chant of Indian dancers, in the love songs of the Hawaiians, the folksongs of the Southern negro or that oldest tune to which the Egyptian dancers sway, which, though it stirs respon sive chords in the Aryan breasts, can never satisfy. It pleases for the mo ment by Its hint of something long forgotten. Presently Its throbbing rhythmic monotone blends, with the pulse in the temples and it Is mad dening. This fact is - particularly patent to playgoers who have seen "The Flame," which will visit Portland soon. Richard Walton Tully's latest success has an exotic setting, driving action and gor geous scenic effects. These the play goer notices, . but he would not feel them half so strongly were it not for the muffled drumming, the interminable beating of the tom-toms and, the half- heard chanting of the meaningless gut terals to tunes which testify to the un developed cultures, of backward peo ples. The author-producer has gone to the voodoo worship for his incidental music as for the mainspring of his plot. The music interests, then bores, then oppresses the hearer. It is as it should be. It provides the proper state of mind, the psychologic back ground for the effect at which the play wright aimed. "The action and the spectacle aren't FREDERICK ZADDACH DEAD "?is feature of "The Flame." "The mu- sic is wnat makes tne wnoie enect pos sible. Half the audience grows uneasy it continues. They don't exactly like it and they can't see why it should go on. I've had men in the orchestra complain, call it unnecessary. They're ill wrong. It is the music which pro vides the mental attitude which one Native of Germany jLlved In Tilla mook County for 32 Years. UHKELER, Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) tredericK V. Zaddach. for more than 32 years a resident of Tillamook County, died at his home near Mohler Tuesday, after an illness of less than two weeks. Mr. Zaddach had been a member of the Port of Nehalem Commission ever since its organization. He had held many county and distriot positions that made him a central figure of the Nehalem Bay country for year: As a supervisor and builder he had been identified with every good roads movement of the county. Mr. Zaddach was born in Starkow, Germany, November 11, 1S59. and came to America when he was 21 year? of age, living two years in San Fran cisco before coming to the Nehalem Valley, where he had resided ever since. He was married November 2 1S8S, to Lillian Dean, of Nehalem, and to them were born two sons and two daughters, all of whom survive him. They are Mrs. F. A. Emery and Mrs. C. E. Stephens, Gilbert W. and Fred erich Zaddach. Jr., .of Nehalem. must have to catch the meaning of the story. "It is unusual, primitive In Us slnv plicity and fundamental in its disturb' ing appeal. It begins with the rhythm -of the tom-tom's beat. Then comes the melody of the chanting voices and of additional strokes upon the bullock's hide, at last the harmony of what is almost a song. The whole history of music is there, in the first sounds before the curtain rises. The Flame' is built on inevitable racial ri' valries. The barbaric music of the voodoo worshipers typifies one of the major forces in the play. Mr. Tully is proud, not without rea son, of the musical instruments which he has collected to produce his weird effects. There is a great bullock hide drum, brought overland 1000 miles from Uganda to Cape Town. a couple of smaller drums of Cuban make, which have served their' purpose in voodoo worship among the degraded half castes of that island, and a great gourd bead ringed, which lends itself to the production of the strange booming noises and sharp, clattering rattles, The boom of the big drum could be heard for miles from the hilltop where naked savages sounded their signals. The smaller drums have been beaten in Cuban jungles until the frenzied dancers ' dropped in sheer exhaustion. The beaded gourd would furnish rhythm for any kind of dance and doubtless has. "I like them," says Richard Walton Tully. Californian and student of strange cults, as he' squats upon the floor to pound away and chant the .odd disjointed measures which he has taught his troupe.. "They're real and they go bock -to fundamentals. They sound barbaric, as they ought to sound They tell the audience of the menace which threatens the white child. Their music is not incidentals. It is one of the big things in the play. I think it more important because its effect, though definite, is so seldom realized.' !l E IS WIDE INTERESTS ARES SERVED BY SELECTIONS.

(Special.) An unusual spirit of self sacrifice and patriotism has been evi denced by a group of high school girls of this city who constitute what is known in the high school as the Eula Ions Tribe. This organization had arranged to pjrehase emblems for the society and had raised a fund of 20 for the pur pose. Stirred by the appeal of the Y. M. C. A. workers for the boys in the trenches, the girls decided to turn over j Gustave Dunkelberger, the fund to the Y. M. C. A. The amount raised by Klamath County for the Y. M. C. A. fund, for which the drive closed last Saturday, aggregates close to $2S00, according to Treasurer Andrew, M. Collier. The amount asked for in Klamath County was $2500. PASTOR IS CALLED EAST Rev.
