As recently aa ten year ago theae aquare or group dance were an Integral part of onr weatern country life. Today the modern tendency for Jar la crowding out the old time fiddler and the old time dance. The old time fiddler cannot play the new dance mualc, though he enn play the old Irresistibly. The consequence is that not only the fiddler, the caller,' and the old rhyme themselves, but also the people who know how to dance the figure are disappearing." If this Canadian woman had crossed the boundary line Into this country and visited various place In a number of different states she might have discovered that mourning over the passe fiddler Is still a ing of the Mt premature. If, fur Instance, she had gone Into the Catskills In New York Bhe might have made an Interesting discovery, as witness the following from the New York Sun: Having explored the Catskills, Mary Elizabeth Osborn has recorded In American Speech some of the results of her observations on the square dance. The neighbors gather In the front the barn or, corrupting parlor, touch for the true antiquarian, In the garage. The fiddler calls the figures; he Is dictator of the dance; he has been known to stop fiddling and scold the dancers if the figure la not being performed quite swiftly enough or evenly enough to meet his approval." Whatever the dance may be, says this historian, there are Introductory and closing steps that are always the same. The openiug figure la ordered thus: Head couples. Right and left, j p I I n J old-tim- naif promenade; Ladies change, Balance four, Aliemand left. All promenade." The closing figure Is directed In this fashion by the master of festivi- ties: Ladles to the right and swing, Balance to the next ; Gents to the right and swing. Balance to the next ; Aliemand left. All promenade. In Captain Jinks," a favorite dance, the figures are performed with enthusiasm to these quatrains, the flying lady is frequently lifted bodily from the floor and swung In the air with right good will : First lady swing with Captain Jinks; the one that never drinks; the one that carries the Now with Now with chinks. now with the dude of the ballroom. First gentleman dance with lady so And fair; Now with the one wit? curls hair; Now with the one that air. In her In the now with belle of the ballroom." A typical dance for four couples is expressed in these lines: First tw give right hands across. Back with the left; Fall hack between sid couples. And forward six. And And back with the left; Join your partner. And balance four In o line; Swing to place And promenade alt." Thl I an aspect of life In the Catskills the mmmrr boarder due not know. Our author says that In the village the square dance are fulling off somewhat In popularity, but on the farms they are as greotly enjoyed aa they were a generation ago. Jazz leave the guests apathetic. It wa only a year or so ago that the Kansas City Star chronicled the fact that ten old lime fiddlers, five from north Missouri and an equal number from the southern section of the state, will saw It out December 30 at Jefferson City for the state championship. The winner will receive a large loving cup. The contest Is expected ta take all night." And the Itolla the (Mo.) Herald reported that Ozarka have radio and free rural mail delivery; they have automobiles and roads but refuse to abandon the old square dance where the fiddler plays the Arkansas Traveller' and Turkey In the Straw' and at the same time calls the danee figures In verse. A year or so ago a South Dakota editor, commenting upon the revival e dances In that state, of the was moved to the following reminiscence of an earlier day: In the spring of 1879, I witnessed my first frontier dance. A new store building was to be dedicated with a dance. There was room for three sets of four couples each to dance at once and the musician and caller was Dome Evans. Just what Dume was a contraction of I never knew. His music didn't appeal even to my unpractlced ear, but his unique and poetic Improvlsion as he called to his own fiddling impressed me more than the movement of the 'dancers. When the sets were full, Dumes fiddle and also his voice came Into action. He always sang in a droning monotone, keeping time also with his foot. The opening was always the same, Slute yer partners. JIne bands and circle to th left. Right hand to yer partner an grab right and left." By this time his eyes were closed and his voice had risen to a sort of rythmatic wail : First couple lead to the couple on the right "Lady In the center an three hand round ; mind yer feet fellers, dont tromp on her gown. First lady swing out and second lady in ; three jine hands and circle agin. "On to the next couple, hoe It downl three Jine hands and caper round. Third lady to the center; give your honey a whirl, lead to the next with your best girl. Grab your honies, dont let em fall, shake your hoofs and balance all. Ringtail coons In the trees at play ; grab your partners and run away. variation Or there might he after the grand clreledo-the-lef- t, something like this: old-tim- do; yer." Dunie's physic! endurance apparently was as Inexhaustible as hi power of Improvlsion. Hour after hour the old fiddle would screech, and hour after hour the voire of the fiddler would drone on while hi foot kept time without Intermlwdon. Of course there were occasional periods of Irrigation, though Dume nerer seemed to be effected by his potions, and when at last the dance broke up It was near the hour of blushing morn. Similarly a writer In the told of old time (Ky.) Courier-Journa- l dances and old time fiddlers In that state as follows: Some of the Kentucky fiddlers had more of a variety of tuneful breakdown melodies In their repertoire than others, but there was one accomplishment In which fewer excelled. That was the calling of the danee figures, which some of them could do In an original and novel way. The figure of the old time square dances were called off In the quaint vernacular couched In loose rhyme, and the variations that took a wide range occasioned much merriment Following Is a sample of one of the characteristics danee rails of the period : "Slute yer pardner and let her go; Balance all and Swing yer gal and run away; Right and left and gents sashay. Gents to right and swing or cheat; On to next gal and repeat. Balance next and dont be shy; Swing yer pard and swing her high Bunch the gals and circle round; Whack yer feet until they bound. Form a basket and break away; Swing around and all get gay. All gents left and balance all; Lift you hoofs and let em fall. Swing yer opposite, swing again; Ketch the sagehens If you kin. Back to pardner, All jine hands and off you go. Onts salute yer little sweets; Hitch and promenade to seats." d square dance, or The other Included figures, one quadrille, of them being called Others were made up and Interpolated, such as Swing Yer Long Cornstalk," which had Its Usually the origin In Arkansas. dance caller of other days had a foghorn voice and he contributed much to the shindigs of the period that often lasted until daylight before the final strains of Home, Sweet Home" broke up the party. All of which offers rather conclusive evidence that its not yet time to e fiddler write finis" to the and his dance tunes. He will hold sway at the Virginia music festival at Charlottesville this month, according to the Information accompany the picture shown above, and Judging by reports of fiddlers contests in other parts of the country which have appeared In the newspaper recently. It teems likely that he will pursue hla "calling" for some time yet to come. tOk hr Waster Htrrmvmvmr Vais. old-tim- e time-honore- old-tim- ' e0K APEX HAIR OIL dUee-Iro- n y, opt! dele-gallo- e MOTOR OIL Freely in Cold Weather How WANTROt ruas Am Mil I tmmr frmt I 1111 Mm m k0 wain wpiMnii w. n. i. e. o. w Ihwm. in.

Winter Feeding Expensive The winter feeding of big game animals is an expensive project.

Without this winter food the animals would have a hard time through the win ter.
