Twenty-six students have been dropped from the rolls of the Oregon Agricultural College and forty-five others have been placed on probation because of failure to satis fy the scholastic requirements during the first semester.

To this end the parents and guardians will be asked to co-operate At the close of each temester a re port of the standings of each student will be sent directly to the parent or guardian. The organization of an association of County Fair Inspectors for the state of Oregon was one of the most Im portant results of the work of Far mers' Week at the Oregon Agricultu ral college. It means better protec tion and greater opportunities for the Oregon fruit grower.

THE CONCERT OF WHITMAN COLLEGE GIRLS GLEE CLUB ((Contributed.) The concert given by the Girls' Glee Club of Whitman College last evening, under the auspices of Pen dleton Academy at the First' Presby terian church, was well attendee! and greatly appreciated by an audience composed of Pendleton's music-lov ers. The excellent program was sur. ficiently varied to Batlsfy nil tastes. and It would be difficult to say which number was the most popular. The work of the Glee Club Itself was a decided treat. An organization of wo men's voices so well trained is sel dom heard, and the effects produced last evening were delightful. Among the best numbers was "The Rosary." The exquisite harmonies of Nevln's composition were strikingly brought out by the sweet, rich voices. All the numbers In Intonation, shading, and artistic rendition, showed the careful and thorough training received under the direction of Mrs. Appy. The ladles' quartet composed of the Misses Williams, Paddock, Gwlnn and Dlven, was very pleasing. Their voices are good and blend well, a ne cessary condition for good quartet work. These ladles were obliged to. respond to encores nt each appearance and were fully equal rn the demands made upon them. The soloists were Mrs. Appy. teach er of voice In Whitman conservatory. Miss Lucile Preston. Miss Alberta Williams, Miss Florence Bohannon, and Miss Paddock. Mrs. Appy. who has a dramatic soprano voice of much power and beauty, sang an aria from "Alda" (Verdi), responding with the charming "April Rain," by Speaks. Miss Preston sang "Marguerlta" (Helmund). and "Because I Love Tou, Dear," also responding to an en core. She has a rich contralto,-voice which Is well trained, and her sing ing was much enjoyed. Miss Wil liams, a lyric soprano of a sweet liquid quality sang "Somewhere, Sometime" (Clough Lelghter). and responded with a pleasing ' encore. Miss Bohannon Is a mezzo-soprano of much promise. Her singing of "Der Erlkong" was highly artistic and Intelligent, and her beauty of voice showed to advantage In her three numbers. Miss Paddock very ably took the solo part In one of the Glee Club numbers "Invited by Mistake." Miss Ludwlg accompanied the singers most capably and this was not the least enjoyed feature of the con cert. The playing of Mr. Sterling, piano soloist, who assisted the Glee Club, was, as usual, artistic and satisfying, and needs no further comment since he has already-been heard here on several occasions. His numbers were "Hark! Hark! the Lark" (Schubert) and an Etude by Chopin. In every particular the concert was a decided success. T M RETRAYED" SAYS AUTHOR OF CHANTECLER Paris. The financial success of M. Rostand's play, "Chantecler" Is phe nomenal. It is said that the first hundred representations In Paris alone will bring In no less than $320,000. When the managers of the theater St Martin have pocketed a million or so people will cease to ask, "Is Chan teeler a success?" Rostand says: "Do not congratu late me. I have been betrayed by my Interpreters. I suffer the tortures of the damned." Now all the world knows his chief Interpreter Is M. Gultry, and that the actor and author are not on speaking terms. It Is said that on a recent oc casion, when the poet and his lllus. trlous family left the theatre, Gultry pointed the finger of scorn at them and remarked: "There go our coun try cousins." As to the critics, they are all at war with eaeh other. Alfred Capus says: "Chantecler is a play upon whose success or failure I cartnot pronounce until after at least 200 representa tions." Julius Lemaitre declares: "It Is a fable of 4000 verses." mease, ooo A Pre-Easter Showing of new pat tern hats, rich and exclusive novelties Fashion followers will be glad to in pect the millinery showing, for in all the northwest there is no col lection of hats that will equal this one in style and assortment Come in and see them while the stock is complete Now is the time to get your hat fixed up The Yogme lilliiery-Opp. P, 0.
