Company M Benefit a Success.
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.

a few well chosen, remarks expressed
his pntriotic ,entimcntt He then in.

inent attorney, of Enterprise, who
gavo the main address of the day in
which .the patriotism of the speaker
jthe olors wa3 predominating. 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

AwiopIphti. . pitiznnstim (nvinir flioii-1

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.
Following the maneuvers three lo
cal boys staged a side car motorcycle
race which added to the excitement of
the day. The riders were J. F. Priest,
"Red" Williams and "Hank" Holmes.
The race was wen by Red Williams
making three miles in 4:45; second, J.

COURSE IN TESTING
AND
GRAIN GRADING.
For Farmers, Warehousemen, Eleva-
tormcn, Millers, and Others at
O. A. C. June 7-13.
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. The work will be of
such a character as' to familiarize
grain men with the variety character
istics of the principal grains of the
Pacific Northwest, and with the grain
grades requirements of the new grad
ing law. Apparatus will be provided
and each student will have an oppor
tunity to make standard weight per
'bushel determinations, stanard mois
ture tests on wheat, corn and other ce
reals, hardness test, gluten tests, both
wet and dry gluten purity tests, smut
tests, and wasning tests. The labor
atory work will jiot only familiarize
the student with" tho grade require
ments, but will give him actual ex
perience with the manipulation of the
apparatus. Lectures will be given on
the grades and on the market charac
teristics of tho varieties, handling of
grain in bulk, sampling of grain for
the making of tests, uses for different
kinds of grain, movements of grain,
the future of tho grain industry, and
other phases of the grain trade will
be discussed, both from tho educa
tional and practical standpoints. In
asmuch as the new official ' Federal
grain standards for what have just
been issued, and the grades for corn
were issued some time ago, and the
Oregon legislature has adopted the
Federal grades as far as they apply
to State conditions, this course will be
of great advantage to all who are in
terested in the production or market
ing of grain. It will also demonstrate
the importance of uniform Federal
grades for the United 'States.
Persons desiring to take advantage
of the course should write to the Ore
gon Agricultural College for informa
tion so a reservation for a place in
the course may be made. G. R.
HYSLOP, Professor of Farm Crops.
