The 5th and 6th grade room leads the other grades in having the most improvement for February. Their percent of improvement is 6.89t. This room has taken much interest in weighing and measuring.

A JOKE ON MY GRANDFATHER Once when my grandfather was visiting a cousin in California he re membered about how nice and socia ble the people are in Oregon. "Yes," replied hia cousin, "and they are so intelligent, too. Now there is an old fellow living near here, who is from Oregon. Perhaps you would like to go over to visit him?" Of course grandfather wanted to o, so his cousin took him over and intro duced him. "It seems good", said my grandfath er, "to see some one from dear old Oregon." The old man looked at grandfather questioningly and an swered: "I'm not from Oregon." and then added proudly "I'm from the state of Tillamook" Grandfather was rather astonished at the man's ignorance, but his cousin thought it a very good joke on Oregon. So grand father .thought, and told it a great many times when he returned to Ore gon. Once when he was invited to a friend's house to dinner it happened that the friend's son and daughter-in-law were present. Grandfather re peated this story, but observed that everyone looked rather queer. The daughter-in-law seemed greatly era harassed. Finally the father-in-law said:- "Well, Mabel, that's just like your Uncle Ben." Grandfather said that incident cer tainly taught him a lesson.

A PRIZE OFFERED Last week there appeared in tljese columns the first chapter of an inter- Farmer radio fans of Polk county will be interested in the announce ment for radio station KOAC, Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, to the effect that at regular intervals starting Monday evening March 28th County Agent J. R. Beck of Polk county will broadcast on items of in terest to the farmers of this district. In commenting on this item of the program, W. L. Kadderley, director of the station states that this is the first time, on the Pacific Coast at least, that radio will have been sys tematically used by county agricul tural agents to talk iirectly to farm ers in their respective counties about current activities associated with the Agricultural Extension Service. The press, the telephone, the farm visit and the farm meeting have been the means of contact for the county agent and the farmers of his county. Be cause of the increasingly large num ber of receiving sets on the farm, es timated to be over 200 in Polk county, radio is now to be used as means of direct communication by county agents. According to Mr. Beck the first talk will be given at 8:30 Monday evening the 28th, the next one on April 11th and a third one on April 25th. As is the case with all beginners in radio broadcasting, Mr. Beck has stated that he would especially like to have listeners inform him as to the recep tion and criticize delivery so that later talks may be improved.

Music, color, dancing; love, play, song all were portrayed in a very pleasing harmony in the Choral-Dance-Cycle given by the Mac Dowell Club in the Normal chapel Saturday night. From the open ing of the gypsy festival and the crowning of the queen Carita, to the capture of-the maiden's heart by the brave youth, the story pro ceeded with nn air- of gaiety and laughter which left a pleasant sense of optimism with the audi ence. The gypsy costuming of the chorus and dancers made a bright setting for the unfolding of the story. As a whole the operetta ,was one of the prettiest ever pre sented in Monmouth. The presentation on Saturday night demonstrated the ability of the MacDowell Club to please its audience. Since its organization in January of this year the club has set as its aim the preparation of music to fill demands for such en tertainment, and it is to be hoped BOD If it's a Goodyear Tube If it's a Goodyear, Tube inside that casing of yours you have the finest air .container that quality materials and manufacturing ex perience can produce.

EUGENE BIBLE UNIVERSITY DOUBLE WINNER IN DEBATE Our debate teams again met de feat Thursday evening. Leon Blankenship participated in his first Normal debate.
