opportunities, and shows 'plainly
enough that the army is no place
for drones, rowdies or cowards, but
opens lines for. honorable advance
ment to the self-respecting, sober,
ambitious young American whose
temperament inclines him to a mili
tary career. Mail a postal to the
Recruiting Station, U. S. Army,

Public School Exercises.
The public school commence
ment exercises were held in the
Opera House last Friday night.
Heretofore the usual exercises
occupied two separate evenings
but suitable arrangements could
not be made with the Opera
House managers on account of
other engagements so the eight
and ninth grades united in the
rendering of a well prepared dou
ble program.
The occasion was one to make
the heart-leap with pleasure and
anticipation. There were bevies
of pretty girls clad in snowy
white, a number of fine looking
boys and terrace upon terrace of
beautiful flowers. From the cur
tain in trout hung each class mot
to, the one in green the other in
pink representing the class colors.
Bach grade arranged in semi-cir
cular form occupied the stage so
the foot lights shone full upon
them. - The evening: was warm :
the house was crowded ; pleasure
was written upon every counte
nance and the atmospnere was
heavy with the perfume of the
many flowers.
The different numbers on the
program were of a high uniform
grade showing careful painstak
ing preparation. In fact older
people might well be proud to
possess the oratorical ability of
many of those, who spoke. There
was nothing to mar the exercises
from beginning to end. The
teachers, City Supt. Holmes and
County Supt. Denman deserves
the highest consideration and
praise for their arduous work and
faithful work. So perfectly did
everything work that while Miss
Margaret Evers was reciting the
nursery experiences of a young
mother, two babies responded
with appropriate squalls.

Visit Big Stock Farms.
Dr. James Withycombe, agri
culturist of the Oregon Agricultural
College, says the Salem Journal, is
to devote a week or ten days to
practical investigation of the prob
lems of which students have been
gaining a theoretical knowledge for
the past two or three years. Leav
ing Corvallis next Tuesday, a class
of 33 students will be escorted on a
tour of the state to visit the princi
pal stock farms.
Their first visit will be to the
Stump sheep farm, near Monmouth,
and will go from there to Oak Hill
ranch to see what is regarded as the
best herd of Shorthorn cattle in
Oregon. Ladd's Crystal Springs
Farm, near' Sell wood, will next be
visited, and from there they will go
to the model stock farm of Richard
Scott at Milwaukie. A visit will
be made to the Fraake stoek farm,
and returning via Salem, the Gilbert
farm will be visited."
Senator Booth contributed $250
toward the expense of the trip, and
A. N. Gilbert, of Salem, added to
the amount available for the out-:
ing. Dr. Wityycombe is an earnest
believer in practical application of
the lessons inculcated in the lecture
room, and the members of the class
expect to be greatly benefitted by
the observations made.
