VIOLIN RECITAL
OF MUCH MERIT
Frederick MaeMurray Appearedo Last
Evening In Concert Before
Appreciatlve keokuk
Audience.
AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM
MuesIo Lovers Of City Arc Hopeful
That Mr.. MacMurray VIII
Locate Hero This
Year.

The fact that concert-violinist OF
unusual ability as well as composer
of notable achievement, gave his IN
itial recital in this city last evening
would seem to have been but little UNI
derstood by the music-loving people
of this city, If one is to Judge by the
small audience that greeted Mr.. Fred
erick MacMurray in the altogether de-
lightful program presented by him In
the Y. w. G. A. auditorium.
What the audience lacked In num-
berg It certainly made up for in en-
thusiasm and Mr.. MacMurray was re-
called time and again, graciously re-
spending to continued applause with
several encores Of exquisite beauty.
Mr.. MacMurray. who intends locating
In keokuk as a teacher and concert
recitalist, has appeared twice before
on programs given under the auspices
Of the Monday Music club and Co. l..
At each appearance he has been most
cordially received, and Keokuk will In
deed be fortunate II Mr.. MacMurray
can be induced to remain here.
An American Of Scottish descent,
he showed his genius at very early
age. He received his early musical
education in Bloomington. ILL.,; then
studied with Yunck of the Detroit con-
servatory and in the Spioning violin
school of Chicago. About this time
musical enthuhiast of Toledo, Ohio,
heard MacMurray play and furnished
the funds to send him to Brus sells, Bel
GUM where he studied with the re-
nowned Adolph Bulie, first violinist
of the F1ouzaiay quartette. After
travelling in Europe. Mr.. MacMurray
returned to America and for seven
years was teacher Of violin in the con-
servatory Of music connected with the
university at Madison, Wis, where
he had notable success In imparting
to pupils HIS knowledge of violin tone
and technique. He has received the
unqualified praise OF the critics and
press of this country on his playing
and compositions and musical circles
In Keokuk will find in him notable
asset.
The program given last night was
most comprehensive In scope, en-
bractng as 1t did works from Bach,
Tartini, Brahms. requiring great tech.
meal skill to the simple ballads which,
without even the establishment of
piano accompaniment, sang their way
simply and directly to the heart.
Those who did not hear last nights
recital missed rare treat, and 1t Is
hoped Mr.. MacMurray may be per-
suaded to give another recital some
time in the near future.
Mrs. Wilbur Hughes and Mrs. Ralph
Joy assisted Mr.. MacMurray. Mrs.
Hughes beautiful contralto voice was
heard In two numbers-"Violets." and
'The Gypsy Maid" and Mrs. Joy did
admirable work as accompanied.
The program played by Mr.. Mac
Murray was as follows:

vice OF food conservation for our ma
ton and / hereby accept membership
in the United States food administra-
ton, pledging myself to carry out the
directions and advice of the food adj
ministrator in the conduct of nv
household, insofar as my circum-
stances permit"
We not only want the names and
addresses, but we want the number of
persons in the household, we want to
know whether the household en-
ploys cook, whether it has a gar
den, and we want to know the occu-
patton of the bread winner. There
are no fees or dues to be paid.
"On receipt Of the pledge we will
send out preliminary instructions and
household tag to be hung in the
window. The insignia of the food ad-
ministration will consist of the ma
tional shield, surrounded by heads of
wheat, and we hope to have the shield
displayed in every home in the United
States.
I'VE have the promise of support
from many hundreds Of women's Or
ganizations in the recruiting of our
membership.
with the assistance of various
trained women in the country, we are
formulating committees on domestic
economy, and from leaders in the sub
jcct of nutrition we are organizing
committees on food conservation and
utilization, and we propose with their
advice to furnish information from
time to time to the members of the
administration as to the manner in
which they can best serve the national
interests in food conservation. We
have six general principles of instruc-
tions.
Save Wheat.
"First-to save wheat. If we eat,
as usual from our harvest this year
we will have little more than enough
for our own supply, but we can divide
with our allies if each individual
makes some sacrifice; by eating at
least one wheatless meal day, sub
stituting cornbrcad or other cereals.
"Second-We want to save the
meat, for our cattle and hogs are
decreasing, and we must send to our
allies, so we wish every householder
to buy less.
"Third-We wish to save the fats.
We consume three times the fats that
ar 'essary for nutrition and we
- +. NJ now for war. We wish
..nr used in cooking; we want
bat served on the table; we
W.. ,css lard, bacon and other pork
products used.
"Fourth-Any deficiencies in food
supply, by economy along the above
lines, can be amply covered by in
"reasing the use Of fish, potatoes
beans, peas, turnips, cabagcs and veg
etablcs generally.
Save Transportation.
"Fifth-Wc want to save t-ansnCr-
tation. Our railways are unable to
meet the war pressure for munitions,
men and coal so that we wish every
one to consume products of local ori-
gin so far as possible.
aside from eating an increased
proportion of these commodities i'm
order to save on the staples, it is ex-
tremely important surplus of these
commodities shall be preserved or well
stored for winter use.
"SiXth--We preach and want every
one to preach the gospel Of the clean
plate; to buy less foodstuff, to serve
smaller portions and to see that moth
ing of value goes in to the garbage
can"
