RECENT PROMINENT SOCIAL
EVENTS WELL ATTENDED.
Manager Sherwood Keeps up Stand--,.
ard of Excellence in Large Hall.
Lovers of fun in summer are being
well cared for by Manager Bert M.
Sherwood, of Rex Hall, judging from
the splendid , success of the many
events recently that have been held
in the large 'hardwood floor audi
torium. The Serpentine dance of a week
ago is still the subject of pleasant
comment in the social world of La
Grande, and its pretty effect still
lingers in the minds of all who. were
present. This was but one of several'
events of great importance to the fun
levers. Last Saturday night the base
ball boys held another of their pleas
ant dances in the Rex hall and the at
tendance was unusually large
Every convenience for summer has
been added to the popular hall and
not a thing is left undone by Manager
Sherwood to properly care for his
large list of patrons. His personal
supervision of detail is what has made
the hall a success from the beginning,
and he has never tired in his efforts.
It has repeatedly said, "Sherry is
never so happy as when he is doing
something to make someone comfort
able." A slight change is made in prices
of dances at the Rex. In other words
dancing has been put on a meter( sys
tem you pay for the number of
dances ycu partake of. With the 25
cent admission ticket, goes five dance
tickets. When you have danced five
times each additional ticket costs
five cents, or a ticket for the entire
evening costs seventy-five cents.
The new plan is working well and
seems to be popular with all who
dance. .. ,

Argentina Humor.
On the prairies of Argentina, when
the chief mode or travel Is by horse
back, the ranchers orteu make use ul
the Spanish expression, "cotniirar tier
lu." The literal translation of that
phrase Is "to buy ground." The South
American rough riders think that when
you full off your horse you occupy the
ground where you land almost as if
you owned It. and If you muke mnctl
of n hole lu the earth where you
xtrlke. as you nre very likely to do
when you lire riding a Hery Argentine
mount, they sny Unit you have bought
the ground and begun to dig the cellar
