After the Doctor--
! THE DRUQOIST
The doctor's work is only half
what has to be done. for the pa
tient. And if the drupgist be
lacking in ability and care the
prescription might as well have
never been written. But we
make a special study of each ease
and our own medical knowledge
is thorough enough to be of great
use to us in those sometimes oc
curring cases when the doctor,
in his haste, makes a slight error.

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."
