Music The
Consolation
of Rus sia

Odessa, June 5.-Music. once
the JOY Of the people Of Russia,
Is now their consolation. They
hunger for bread, and they long
also for music to make their un-
happy days more bearable.
In passing the unlighted
streets Of the cities Of the lower
Nolga. the stranger is often
GUIDED by piano music bursting
Upon the darkness. Walking at
early morning through the
streets Of Astrakhan, little boys
and girls, often refugees, may
be seen at the open windows, at
practice, drumming on dilapida-
ted pianos. At the dreary sta
tions, during the long waits, peo-
pie sing. This kindly, talented
people turn to music for comfort
as unconsciously as a distressed
child to it's mother.
They have no postwar music.
noj an and pep and buzz-saW
no JAZZ and pep and buzz-saw W
old, old songs Of love lost, Of the
bitteresweet of happiness gone,
of the prisoner in his cell, Of the
''shadow Ger the heart. -
Here in Odessa, by the Black
Sea, there is and has ben opera,
good opera for several dreadful
F.! gears. The fields outside the
city are bare, the cemeteries are
full, and new ones cape for more
F! bodies each day. No home, no
city, no war, no battlefield
| knows such sadness. The singers
on the stage are hungry, so arf
/ the scene shifters; the musicians
are hungry and so is the
audience.
Yet each evening, through the
Garkening streets, thousands take
/ their souls to the doors Of the
i handsome opera house, thousands
! whose bodies are ragged with old
/ clothes, whose stomachs are as
] empty as the fields, but whose
/ hearts yet respond to the magic
| Of music.
The operas are sometimes
those Of Italy-"Tosca' and
LA Traviata but more often
Russian. Pushkin, the famous
: poet. eraced the city with his
! residence for many years, and SC
operas made from his stories arr
liked, ."Mazeppa,' among
/; Others. One favorite is "Dob
rovsky,' the tragedy Of ban
lit. libretto by Pushkin, music
! by Naprovniki. This opera has
fine romance, duet IN thu

LIVE STOCK IN KNOX COUNTY

Compared with the year 1921
Knox County, according to the Agri-
cultural Department. Washington,
shows the following percentages OF
livestock on our farms: Horses and
mules, 100; cows, 100; other, IS;
sheep, rs; hogs, 100. Therefore
there has been loss of Is per cent
in "other" and 25 per cent in sheep
raising. The latter is regrettable
inasmuch as our hill lands are ad-
mirably adapted to sheep and goats.
We believe it to be a fact that a
farmer with plenty of range and
employing a herder could stock up
with goats of the good milk class
and by converting the milk into
goat cheese, make big money. We
have in mind an Italian in Colorado
who from a herd of some 400 goats
had $4,000 worth of cheese stored
away in his rock cheese house.

Geo. w. Tye is suffering from a

someone to mix-up or even thru

but because a little hair coyly con-

He went twice to the tonsorial sur
geon and on his second visit failed
on the iodine treatment. AS con-
sequence the jaw became as prog
notheOus as that of a prize fighter
and had to be drawn and quartered
by a really surgeon. The moral is
that the small things of life may
cause more trouble than the bigger
things.
