of no importance."

provoking attack, and . to drop
bombs."

Cowboy Music
Is Featured At
E.O.N. Assembly
A program of cowboy music, typical
of the early days on the ranges of
the west, was presented this morning
at 10 o'clock at a student assembly
at the Eastern Oregon Normal school.
The same program had been pre
sented previously before the La
Grande Neighborhood , Muslo
club.
Mrs. George Btrnte reviewed the origin
and growth of cowboy music, plac
ing it among the folk songs which
are written by the people for their
own amusement and entertainment.
Like all folk songs and legendB,
the cowboy songs have been evolving
for many years, with new versions and
new verses added so that it is dif
ficult to trace the authorship of the
original,
"Home on the Range" and "Press
Along, Little Cowboy," two typical
cowboy songs, were sung by a men's
quartet, composed of George Blrnle,
Sherwood Williams Paul Knautz and
E. E. Hurley, accompanied by Mrs.
Birnie.
The Blue Mountain Wranglers were.
presented, featuring Raymond O.
Williams and Kermlt Ragaln as solo
ists. Mr. Williams sang "When the
Work's All Done Next Pall" and
"Strawberry Roan," while Mr. Ragaln
sang a sad and lugubrious number,
"The Gamblers Blues." The Wran
glers played a group of cowboy num
bers with musical choruses.
