Company M had a fine audfence at the Arcade Theatre last . night for their military vaudeville show. Af ter the film, the Company M quartet sang several numbers. Two local boys, "fly weights", introduced by Mr. Emahiser as "Biff" and "Swat" put on a boxing match that was a scream and got the laughs. Then Alfred and Zinn did a musical number and dia logue that went over well. 'This was one of the best numbers on the pro gram. Hendricks and Eckerlin, 185 pound bokers, put on a lively exhibi tion, boxing three fast rounds to a draw. Pike and Lawson wrestled a clever match, Lawson winning both falls. This was a hard fought, inter esting contest. Davis and Rowin boxed three two-minute rounds. Davis showed considerable class; the bout was called a draw. The climax of the evening came when Jack O'Neil, the local champion, wrestled three of the best wrestlers of the company, defeat ing the three in about fifteen minutes. The proceeds went to the Company M fund; the public got a good show for their money. For that sunburn and chapped hands and faces Silverthorn's Fam ily Drug iStore. Adv. t . 5-31-tf.

In part Mr. Burleigh 3aid: "This government represents ; the highest and boat in human . govern ment and is the product of years of i abor ftn(1 gacrifico. "Between the government and the citizotj there is n solemn compact, the government agi ucng to provide protec tion to the citizen in his personal and property right3, and the citizen prom ising faithful fealty and loyalty to the government by obedience to law, payment of taxes, to carry out the purpose and "ffieioncy of tho govern ment, and to perform military service in behalf of tha government nnd in great crises u the. extent of giving his life n service of the nation. "The present great crisis is proving the test of American citizenship. I , "Those of today who are enjoying the benefits and blessings of this gov ernment are the heirs and trustees of a great heritage, and are pledged to the-performance of the duty and ob ligation of maintaining the efficiency of the government and giving it to fu ture ages unsullied and uncorrupted by any act or omission oh tho part of the citizen. This present great crisis was forced upon us by the arbitrary and tyranical acts of the military power of Germany in violation of American rights driving our commerce from the high seas and murdering our cit izens upon the highways of the world. "In this great conflict and national crisis with the world's greatest mili tary power the men of military age eniov th highest nrivilpcn Vnnwn ti AwiopIphti. . pitiznnstim (nvinir flioii-1 ... - t '& services and lives in support of the sacred principles of liberty, freedom and justice. "Treason against the United States consists of levying war against them, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. "The man of military age who nog. lects or refuses to,comply with the law requiring j-egistration for mili tary duty is violating his oath ' of al legiAnce and is not keeping 'his pledge of citizenship; and the man or woman who advises tho young men to refuse to submit to the registration law and to perform miitary duty is a traitor to his government and should receive a traitor's reward.. "The young man who is qualified for military duty and does not enlist; the main or woman who is able to pur chase a Liberty Bond and does not do so; the man or woman who does" not aid in the Red Cross Work and the Y. M. C. A. work is unfaithful to thoulu ties of citizenship and by neglect and indifference is giving aid and com fort to tho enemies of the American government. No one has done his duty in this great conflict until he has done all within his power to bring this war toa speedy and successful termination.. ... . "One may prove untrue to his gov ernment by acts of omission as effec tively as by sets of commission and he'who fails in the performance of a duty or the exercise of privilege and thereby renders inefficient or less ef fective the fig'uing force of the nation is rendering assistance to the enemy and proving his infidelity to his gov ernment. "It is the iuty of the American people, one hundred million strong, to get under the burden of this great conflict and battle for the right until victory is assured and until the democracy of the United States be comes the democracy of the world, and the flag of freedom, equality and justice be unfurled to the breeze in every land and German militarism be utterly destroyed." Following Mr. Burleigh's address Captain Neer put the boys of Com pany M through the spectacular man euvers consisti.it? of close order drill, guard mount, silent drill and advance of attack. The drilh were well exe cuted and the boys won hearty ap plause an dpraise from the spectators. The maneuvers ended with a thrill ing charge with fixed bayonets upon the grandstand.

Giain grading, testing and inspec tion will be given six solid days of lecture and laboratory work at the Oregon Agricultural College-, June 7 to 13 inclusive.
