An Unique Company.
There ls n treat In store for us In
our Lyceum Course this season. One
of the numbers ls to be the Swiss Al
pine Yodlers, fresh from the land of
the silvery topped Alps.
The company ls a family affair, con
sisting of Herr Alois Ploner and his
family, lute of Sllz, Switzerland. The
Ploner family arc a "find" Just as
was the Itnlinn tenor, Caruso. Herr
Alois Ploner, the manager, is a bari
tone with a voice of rare quality;
Frau Agnes Ploner, the mother, has a
soprnno voice, and enjoys the reputa
tion of being the best lady Yodler
from the Alpines ; Miss Anna, the
daughter, has a rich alto voice, and
Master Franz, the son, Is recognized
as n child prodigy on the violin. In
fact, the wholo fumlly are Instrumen
talists as well ns vocalists, Herr
Ploner being a pnstmaster on the
zither. Of course, their instrumental
work Is only auxiliary to their Yod
ling, which ls tho art in which we will
be most Interested. According to
Webster the "yodle" ls a sound pe
culiar to the Swiss mountaineers and
ls mode by suddenly changing from
the nntural voice to the falsetto. To
the uninitiated the effect ls somewhat
startling, and the selections so ren
dered are unique and effective. These
Swiss singers have been trained In this
art from earliest times and the yodle,
has become a fixed element of their
nnturnl and national music.
Of course, you want to learn how to
yodlo and meet this delightful family
of Swiss people. Get your tickets
early.
THE FAMOUS NIGHTINGALES OF
SWITZERLAND.
Ths Ploner Family.
The mountain people of Switzerland
are Instinctively musical. They Just
bubble over with song, vying with the
feathered songsters of their forests
In musical effervescents. Much like
the birds, the Swiss Alpine singer
varies his song, changing frequently
from the ordinary voice to the fulsetto.
This ls called Yodllng and ls an art,
as you will discover If you attempt It.
One might Imagine this frequent
change of voice would produce a nerve
racking effect, but quite the reverse is
true It ls as soothing and pleasing as
a lullaby, when performed by an Al
pine Yodler. The voice Just slides
from the high to the low nnd back
again without a break. The effect ls
as pleasant and soothing as swinging
In a hammock on a perfect tiny In
June.
How typical the Yodle ls of the Alps
here a snow capped peak, there a
verdant valley. The harmonious Inter
mingling of these elevations and their
varying colorings make up the beauti
ful scenery of the Alps. Would It be
artistically sacrilegious to enjoy the
scenery of a yodle?
The Ploner family are natives ot
Sllz, Switzerland, and Yodllng ls in
stinctive with them, not an acquired
art. They can't help but yodle, for it
Is as necessary with then) ai eating.
The Swiss Alpine Yodlers ast to be
here soon on the Lyceum Cburse, and
will necessarily yodlo some for their
own pleasure. Why not bring the
family and enjoy the treat with them J
Portland, Ore., Dec. 31. "Under
tre new Food Administration regula
tions governing the price of mill
feeds, substantial encouragement is
offered to the farmer and the stock
raiser, and the Administration now
hopes for their full cooperation in a
capacity production during the com
ing year, of hogs, cattle, sheep and
poultry.
The above Is the statement of As
sistant Federal Food Administrator
W. K. Newell, who points out that
the way is now clear for the farmer
and the stock raiser to plan for the
greatest possible output of food an
imals. "There is every assurance of a
steady and profitable market," said
Mr. Newell, "with as ample a sup
ply of feed as can be had by milling
all the wheat possible in the North
west. The raising of food animals,
particularly hogs, and beef and dairy
cattle, is not only the patriotic duty
of every citizen so situated that ho
can do so, but it will be a splendid
business investment as well. For :
several years' to come, because of,
world-conditions, the market for food
animals will inevitably be strong and
steady, and now that the output of ,
grain feeds at the mill has come un
der Government control through the
new licensing system, with a fixed
price basis, the cost of production
will no longer be prohibitively high
or too uncertain for a safe invest
ment. Let every farmer and stock
raiser in Oregon make his plans now
for the fullest possible production of
all food animals, particularly hogs,
which are most needed and which
will prove the most profitable to the
producer.
Under the new regulations the mill
er must not charge the dealer more
than 38 of the cost of a ton of
wheat at the mill door for bran. All
feed dealers must operate under the
federal license and must not charge
more than a reasonable profit for the
handling of any mill feeds. Any cas
es of over charge by dealers should
be promptly reported to the Federal
Food Administration office at Port
land for Investigation."

GILLIAM & BISBEE
are prepared to furnish the farmers
and stockgrowers with all kinds of
machinery and extras for their
1918 equipment.
There is going to be a shortage
of extras and we would advise go
ing over all machinery NOW and
ordering all the extras you will need
this season and have all machinery
adjusted and ready for use when
the time comes to use it.
Take our word for it, if you wait
until the extras are needed you may
not be able to get them.
There will be no time
to waste in 1918
for shorts, and $9.00 higher for mid
dlings in carload lots, with a differ
ential of not more than 50c for less
than carload lots. This is a substan
tial reduction as against the prices
charged for mill feeds heretofore.
With this cut in the cost of feeding
stock and the assurance of perman
ent Government control of the mill
feed output, risk is reduced to the
minimum for the stock raiser, who
is now urged to. do his utmost to
help the Food Administration meet

Boardman Country Looks Good.
The Boardman country is looking
fine, according to the report brought
to Heppner this week by Earl Cramer,
formerly of Hardman, who now
makes his home In Morrow county's
new city in the north. Crop condi
tions are excellent and many of the
farmers are busy at the present time
sowing wheat. Alfalfa on the irri
gation project is also growing rapid
ly, says Mr. Cramer.
