Sheesley, 601 Walnut street, appointed by the dealers to get into communication with Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, said the new prices will stick during the win ter if the federal government does not take a hand. Mr. Sheesley said to-day that the national food administrator will be approached early next week and is sanguine that the matter will be ad justed. When asked what the retail ers desire the food administration to do, Mr. Sheesley stated that they would like to see the wholesale price set at $3.22 per hundredweight, which would still be an increase of 34 cents per hundredweight over the wholesale price of milk yesterday, and the retailers could then sell it at eleven cents a quart, and six cents a pint. The retailers would be willing, Mr. Sheesley said to agree to have a committee appointed to look into the matter after the adjustment, and If it is found that $3.22 is too low a rate to allow the producers to do business at a reasonable profit, to al-1 Church Music BETHLEHEM LUTHERAN Morning: Prelude, Echo Bells, John Hyatt Brewer; anthem.

MUSICAL WAVE SWEEPS COUNTRY Cities Aid in Spreading Work Throughout the Smaller Communities Within the past two years a great wave of musical impulse seems to have been sweeping through the communities of many of the cities and towns throughout the country. This impulse has manifested itself chiefly through the forming of large Community Choruses such as the one in New York under Harry Barn hart's leadership. Some of these choruses have numbered several thousai 1 participants in giving per formances of the choral works of the great masters. This,work is always accompanied by a tremendous en thusiasm on the part of the per formers. Now with music so much in the forefront of daily life, it is interest ing to compare musical conditions at the present time as they are to be found in the average American vil lage, with those of the larger towns and cities. The writer has been in a position to make observation along these lines and has found that the facts acquired, favor the cities de cidedly and show the tremendous amount of work yet to be done for he musical beneli of the small vil lages. Aside from community singing as a factor in the musical growth of the cities, these same places have long offered rich opportuniy for a gen eral musical development and enjoy ment among their inhabitants, opera and concerts of every variety have here been given, and enjoyed by even those of moderate income. For tunately, there have been civic move ments on foot which have established the giving of concerts in large halls in winter and in the public parks in summer. These concerts have been many and of high character, and have been given at a small cost of admission when not entirely free. Some other phases of urban musi cal life are the music clubs, the mu sical departments in the many wo men's clubs throughout the country and the conservatories and music schools. Many of the latter rival like institutions of Europe in the ex cellence of their teachers. Emphasized by Contrast In most cases the investigation in villages has brought out the lack of music more clearly because of Its sharp contrast to the supply of mu sic in the cities. The people living in these scattered places have very few musical advantages and often times none at all. Concerts, save now and then a poor one outdoors in summer by a visit ing band, are seldom heard; music in the churches is at a low artistic ebb; but few of the congregations join the hymn singing, and there is no choir save the "helper" organist who attempts to plav the organ Musical instruments In the home are not uncommon, but musical perform ers in the family are few and far be tween and usually of little training. ( ommunity singing is a stimulus quite unknown save perhaps through the newspaper. The harvesters' song is no more heard in the fields, nor is the boy heard "who whistles at the plow." What is being done about all this musical poverty of the small villages? Shall it continue to exist, or shall we utilize to the fullest the many ways by which the joys of music can be brought to them in some full sense Great Work For Music Clubs The mqslc clubs have been doing a great good in this direction, i>ut this vast field is still comparatively undeveloped. This is a question on which the clubs should concentrate in order to devise all. possible means to make felt in the smal towns and villages in their respective vicinities the full importance and necessity of community music in all its phases the chorus, the orchestra even if very small ones, bands, etc. The resulting relaxation and variety of activity (in sharp contrast to the or dinary monotony of village life) would make community music a wel come addition. The time is surely ripe for more active propaganda than ever to bet ter the existing conditions, and cer tainly if bettered, these conditions would soon bring untold enjoyment of music to many a human beings in our land as well as he a powerful aid to the higher development of the American people as a whole.

Use McNpil's Cold Tablets.—Adv. MARKED TENDENCY TO TURN TOWARD THE BY JOHN AV. PHILLIPS T here is a marked tendency now adays toward the Fold Song. This is r.ot a backward step, but it is an acknowledgement that modern mu sic and ultramodern music has not tu.tilled its mission. I pointed out two years ago in this paper, that modern music, with dissonances more and more daring,—melodic structure, —whfere there was a mel -o('y—s{''f and uninteresting, large ly reflect the spirit of unrest in mankind; that we were following false paths; musically, and that a fresh start would have to be made, if we could find basis for a fresh start. The folk song is the logical music ci the people—of the masses; because it is democratic in spirit, and influence; because it was cre ated by he people for the people; because it expresses the joy's and sorrows, you even the lives and characteristics# of a people. The so called liulls of culture have been busy with much music that was heard only because it was new, and not because it was good. The music critics have had something to write about. This sort of music has been autocratic,—heard only by the mu sical elite—wt.o must keep up with the blue blooded procession. Much of this sort o<" music will never be heard or heard of again, because it is artificial, —it is invented and not created. , ... I can only repeat that we have neglected the beautiful; the art of self-expression; and therefore for feited real creative ability. We have been too busy getting elHciency; that is, a kind of grindstone persistency to master detail, and entirely miss ing the larger aspects of any prob lem which really decides its destiny. We are slaves to system and prece dent. and music has felt this influ ence. which has hindered spon taneity and natural development. True of Every Nation Every nation,- —regardless of its rank as a musical nation—owns its stock of folk songs, handed down from generation to generation, and the common property of all the peo ple. These songs are so natural and simple, some so ingenious, as to dis army the criticism of art; because they unconsciously follow the rules laid down by art. There are hun dreds of these songs that have never been put down on paper. Native talent, natural facility and Intro spective faculty—not culture—cre ated these songs. „ R is very likely that some of the finest folk songs came from crude peasants in moments of joy or grief. If these songs were crude in form, at first, they would gradually right themselves as they went from mouth The Pathe Pathephoiie THE MACHINE THAT PLAYS ANY RECORD 8 Brings all the world's artists into your home.

G. Dixon, State Health Commissioner, that, stimulated by the cases of smallpox now appearing in the state, several of the counties are taking advantage of the Act passed during the Inst legislative sessions which enables. County Commissioners to erect hos pitals for the care of persons suffer ing from the contagious diseases. Clearfield, which has the most marked number of smallpox cases, at the present time, has determined tp erect such a hospital, while the project is also tinder consideration, not quite so definite, in Erie. The city of Wilkes-Barre has just voted $30,000 for the construction of such a hospital, bearing in mind the con ditions existing during a previous epidemic of contagious diseases. Five new cases in Clearfield county and one in Harrisburg were reported to Dr. Dixon's office. Three of the cases are of children under eight years of ago in Blue Ball. An other, a woman who resides in Big ler nnd who is thought to have con tracted the infection in Blue Ball. Another case is that of a man liv ing in BoKgs township about two to mouth, and village to village; they would thus go through a refining process, as pebbles are polished by frictions of sand and sea. Lovers, soldiers, sailors, students, shepherds, hunters and peasants all had their peculiar songs. Then there were scngs of the home, the forest, the sea, the field and hill; songs of part ing and reunion, of drinking and v.cdding, and a great many others of local or national interest. The folk song then is inspired bv life and nature. Tho well-known and best beloved hymns we could term sacred folk songs, inspired by life and nature, plus love of God. Modern music has no place for tho sentimental—it has frowned on it, and demanded in its place the in tellectual, the austere, and the me chanically perfect; much of it has battered the ear and fed the mind. Some of this music is declared to be emotional, but I fear it is largely because of its overpowering volume and d.'ssonance; which we mistake for real fefeling. Not Enough Vitality Modern music has not enough genuine vitality to live long. The folk song—with genuine sentiment and unaffected simplicity-—-so long lain dormant—is being revived be cause it is true and natural musical expression. Modern music has tried to express too much—it has tried to take the place almost of the spoken drama; it has had for its object detail and color, instead of truth and beauty. The revival of the folk f-cng should be a hint to composers. Out of Europe will come the halt, the lame and the blind. They will each have their incidents to record —here is the making of folk lore — here, —if we have sentiment and simplicity,—and a desire to create and record musically—is the ma terial, —the source of an almost nev er-ending supply. The war itself should be. left out of music; it breeds pessimism and ugliness. The smaller and individ ual incidents, grave and gay, tragi', and heroic could well be called legit imate material for all art. It will merely require good taste to know where to draw the line.
