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." -.

CONGO SIGNAL DRUM USED IX "THE FLAME."
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.'

GIRLS GIVE UP TRINKETS
Money Raised for Society Emblems
Turned Over to Y. M. C. A.
KLAMATH FALJJS, Or.. Nov. 23.
(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.
