A TRIAL SOLICITED THE BURNS SOCIETY CELEBRATES AHK1VERSARY Largest Callicrin, ana Ever Held in In common wth all patriotic Scotch men throughout the world, the Robert Burns Society of this county met last evening in commemoration of the one hundred and forty-seventh anniversary of Robert Bums, their greatest poet Few men have won such lasting fame and few are so near to the hearts of the people as Burns, whose immortal songs are sung and loved by the people as they were a hundred and more years ago. The Elk's hall was beautifully decorat ed with evergreens and a large banner was displayed upon which was lettered so all could read "Scotch Welcomertiuide Mile Failde. A hundred thousand wel come. ' ' . ;';!;;!: th? two hun dred or more of the clans and friends as sembled and one of the best programs in the history of the association was rend ered, notwithstanding the fact that it was rendered by citizens of our own county, in contradistinction to former customs when the principal address has been made by speaker from other parts of the state. During the interim since the last gather ing, two of the members, who were also honored pioneers of Grande Ronde Valley and who were large factors in the history making period of this county, were called home to their Creator. " We refer to John Morrison and Mrs. McDonald, ond as will be noted by looking over the program that T. A. Rinehart was assigned to de liver these eulogies which he did with credit. The banquet which followed the literary entertainment was in keeping with the well-known hospitality of the Scotch and notwithstanding there were many in ex cess of the anticipation, there was more than plenty for all. Another feature out nf the ordinary, which showed originality on the part of the program committee was that the toasts were responded to by the ' ladies. Mrs. Jessie L. Cavana responded the 'Year that Wa" "; Mr. F. S. Ivanhoe, Mothers"; and Mrs. M. F. Davis of Un ion, "burn t bongs. 1 he ladies acquitt ed themselves with such credit that it is not expected that throughout the ages as this society meets annually will the men everhave an opportunity to respond to a toast again, with the possible exception of Mr. Rinehart, who as an afterthought wis jumped up on the spur of a moment to respond to "The Ladies." He always has liked the ladies and just having about concluded a sumptuous feast and sur- JOINT INSTALLATION The Q. A. R. and W. R. C. are holding a joint installation this afternoon. The ladies of the cotps provided an elaborate banquet and this will be a day long to be remembered by the members of both orders. AMUSEMENTS THE TAMINO OF THE SHREW It was the Shakespearean ay that monopolized the interest of the evening by reason of its really admirable presenta tion. Not only is Mr. Hanford complete master of Petruchio and Miss Drafnah a charming and individual Katherine, the shrew, but everyone of the more promi nent parts was well played, and the per formance proceeded with a spirit and eclat that was something of a revelation to playgoers. Mr. Hanford ha every reason to feel proud of bis success. His Impersonation is presunted with confidence and a finish that distinctly identifies him with the role. As an interpretation it stands out clearly in conception and definition. It is marked by strong nervous force and general ela tion of spirits, and presented with a poise that denotes the artist whose mere tech nical skill has been gained in a school of standard art. Miss Drofnah fairly shared the . honors with the star. She distinguished nicely between the shre ish temper of Kate and the tenderness of the woman when her spirit is subdued, present, ng the character with an intellige.it grasp of its salient traits and charmiog ,iar audience by her grace and refinement.

Cibson retdrned last eve ning from an outing of two weeks spent in revival work with the Mt, Pleasant Baptist church in the Fair View district. The meetings were greatly blest, the church revived and 1 1 new members added. The work went on despite almost continuous snowfall and about three feet of snow. The Fair View district Is notable for its morality and religious interests. But possibly the most notable fact is its abounding young life. Children flourish. Twenty-three babies under 3 years old were regular attendants upon the revival meetings, and strange to say were order ly and attentive. The leader in the religious life of the community is Mr. Joseph Scott, who with his large family settled around him, is ready for every good work, Mr. Gibson will fill his pulpit tomorrow. TO THINK ABOUT He who squanders health is the spend thrift of happiness. All medicine in the world cannot be substituted for exercise. Skilled Osteopaths not only cure and prevent disease, but they teach the art of keeping well. Osteopathic treatment never forces but removes barriers from natures pathway. If you would escape the annual attacks of hay fever and asthma, anticipate the season by beginning osteopathic treatment which will remove the cause of over sen- sative nerves. Save your kidneys and heart through Osteopathic treatment and thus avoid dropsy, co istipation, rheumatism and other ills. . For 12 years Osteopathy skillfully ap p'ied. has been transforming .broken down nerves and mental wrecks into sound, healthy and vigorous type of manhood and womanhood.- An old time saying. "It takes a rogue to catch a rogue, applies to internal drug ging. The rogue is seldom, if ever caught and the sufforer is burdened with two rogues instead of ens to hamper nature In recovery. N. E.
