CANTATA GREATLY ENJOYED Christmas Play at Congregational Church Is Success One of the most enjoyable events of Christmas week was the cantata given by the children of the Congregational Sunday School Friday evening under the direction of Mrs. C. K. Marshall. About fifty children took part and all acquitted themselves most creditably, giving an entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi ence present. "Santa's Remedy" was the name of the cantata and its theme was espec ially appropriate to the occasion. E. L. McClain took the part of the merry saint in a way which left nothing to be desired. P. M. Morse represented the Snowman in an effective manner. Before the cantata was staged there was a chorus by the kindergarten de partment of the Sunday School, follow ed by a recitation by little Kingsley Roberts, which was one of the features of the evening. Then came a number by Elizabeth Illancliar, Betty Jane Skinner, Louise Bartlett and Nattie Gerdes. In the cantata, little Robert Bartlett proved himself an embryonic actor of great promise by taking the part of Taffee In a very amusing manner. There were three choruses. Mrs. Bart lett's class constituted the Horseshoe Chorus, Mrs. Cram's class the Wish bone Chorus and Mrs. Marshall's class furnished the Four Ixaf Clover Chor us, while Mr. Newhall's boys were little snowmen, garbed In spotless white from top to toe. Catherine Ross made a veery charming Rabbit's Foot. Three girls took the leading parts of Patricia, Polly and Pandora. They were Marion Howe, Dorcas DeWitt and Sarah Howes. All the parts were well taken, both by individuals and choruses, showing careful training and considerable aptitude by the children. SAYS FARMERS MUST STUDY Dr. Withycombe Says Canal Will Rev olutionize Agriculture That the future development of the state Is dependent altogether on the farmers In general, and particularly on those who are progressive and al ways find time for study and the adoption of advanced methods, was as serted by Dr. James Withycombe In his lecture to visiting farmers on "Agricultural Opportunities In Ore gon" at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. "After Oregon's mngnificent forests are reduced to stumps, after her mines are abandoned as holes In the ground, the farms of Oregon will continue to respond to proper cultivation by fabu lously Increasing the wealth of their owners," said Dr. Withycombe. He showed that present rural condi tions would be revolutionized by the advent of Intensive farmers from Eur ope when the Panama Canal opens the water route. Every Oregonian, he urged, should take advantage of his first opportunity to get control of a piece of Oregon land and Improve It, In order that they may secure their Just share of the advantages which In variably como with Increased population. "Please, muni, tho new neighbors want to know if you'll lend them the lnwnmower today." "What! Lend them the lnwnmower on tho Sabbath! Tell them, Jane, we hnven't one." FINE GLEE CLUB PROGRAM PROMISED A program full of good music and bubbling with college fun will be the nature of the University of Oregon Glee Club concert In this city, Satur day evening, January 4. For fifteen years the lads from the State University at Eugene have been making tours and the reputation which they have gained as entertainers has been well-earned. Under the leader ship of Prof. I. M. Glenn, the organiza tion was heralded as the "Best Gleo Club, west of the Mississippi." This year the director Is M. L. Bowman, a man who has had 20 years of profes sional acting and singing. For several seasons Mr. Bowman was the lead ing basso of the Henry W. Savage Op era Company. Under the supervision of their di rector the 25 men of the club have prepared a program that is divided evenly between songs and skits. Two stong numbers to be sung are "The Song of Ferrara" by Bullard and "The Plainsman Song" by Bliss. These songs draw from the singers the sweet est notes as well as the thundering resonant ones. Mr. Bowman directs the singing of these songs personally. The men respond to his movements like a well-trained orchestra. One of the clever skits of the even ing centers in the Oregon vs. O. A. C. football game played at Albany last November. RUNAWAY AT WHITE SALMON Trout Lake Stage Crashes Into Light Pole, Injuring Driver As the result of a runaway down Main street hill Tuesday afternoon, Wm. Henning, driver of the team, is laid up with a leg badly broken in two places and a lacerated scalp. One horse was killed. Henning was driv ing the stage and as he started down the hill at the M. E. church right at the finish of his trip from Trout Lake the team broke into a furious run. The driver put all his weight on the brake bar and sawed with all his might on the jaws of the animals, but without avail. As they ran Henning did his best to make the turn, but the madden ed team was bent on reaching the stable and headed for the electric light pole. They swerved just enough for the horses to miss, but the large hack struck with a crash, and with such im pact that the immense pole was loos ened and two wires were broken, put ting the lights out for a time. Enter prise. SELLING YOURSELF A CAR Humorist Describes Pyschology of the Automobile Business James Montgomery Flagg writes an amusing 6ketch about buying an auto mobile in the January American Mag azine. Following is an extract: "You and Polly are given a demon stration. "The psychology of the trade starts psyching at the moment you take your seat in the car. The instant the wheels turn you are a goner! "You are now the best salesman they have! You sell yourself the car! You root for that car as if it was some thing you had invented yourself. "An awful clattering underneath your feet, that in later years of exper ience would clearly indicate frazzled bearings, you are now eager to have explained away as nothing but the sweet purr of perfect mechanism. "You sit on the edge of the seat, nerves taut, inwardly challenging these men to say anything nasty about their own goods. Their own? Yours! "You clutch the leather arm-rests with the fierce Joy of ownership, and cry 'Gee, some boat!' . ."We could a-done that hill just as easy on high!' grins the wicked dem onstrator as he looks around for your approval. " 'When can I have it?" you hiss, hardly recognizing your own voice. " 'By the way,' says the salesman, doubtfully, to the wicked demonstra tor, 'this car is'nt sold is It?' . ." 'Oh, my God!' . ." 'Oh, no, It's alripht I was think ing of that 1911 runabout of Johnson's no, It's nlright! " 'Oh!' "You nearly swallowed your Adam's apple." Poultry Association Organized Eugene.
