PEETTY WEDDING.
At Peoria Popular Young People
Wed.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Lamar at Peoria was the
scene of a pretty wedding, Thurs
day evening, when the latter's
sister, Miss Clara Ridenour, was
united in marriage to Roscoe
Carmichael of Harlan, Lincoln
county. i
With Miss Nellie Carmichael,
sister of the groom, at the piano,
the young couple entered the par
lor and took a position nnder a
floral bell, where they were united
with the ring ceremony, "for
better or for worse" by. Rev. J.
B. Ellison, in the presence of
about 25 relatives and freinds.
The bridesmaid was Miss Lucile
Berry, who was prettily attired
in pink silk bastiste and carried
a t.onquet of sweet peas, and
Charles Cator was best man.
The bride made a very, pretty
picture in a dainty costume of
white silk and carried a bouquet
of white sweet peas. She is the
voungest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Ridenour and a pop
ular yourjg woman who has many
friends. The groom is a young
man of worth and is well and
favorably known.
After congratulations the com
pany enjoyed a social hour dur
ing which light refreshments
were served. Many handsome
and useful presents were received.
Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael left
Friday for a trip to Newport.
They will take up their residence
at Harlan, where they are follow
ed by the good wishes ot many
friends.
Athletics at Willamette.
Although the attention of ath
letic circles is at present directed
to the great college game and
track and held events are in the
future, Willamette University,
through Trainer Roy Heater, is
gathering recruits for the coming
track season. Trainer Heater
says Willamette will be able to
put out a much better track squad
than it has for some seasons past.
Willamette has practically been
given the assurance that two men
who performed for McMinnville
last season will don the "cardinal
and the gold." They are Wil
liams and Roberts and are ekcel
lent men, especially .Robert?,
who is considered to be up in the
Dan Kelly class. Bill Pemberton,
a former Pacific man, and Gray,
an old Willamette athlete and
captain of McMinnville track
team several seasons past, may
enter the university tfiis year.
Cummins, who ran in the sprints
last spring, will be back. Rumr
spread it that Lounsbury, Wil
lamette' all-round athlete, would
enter the Kuoxville University
of Tennesee this fall, but the
management here announces that
he has given notice that he will
return to defend the honor of
"Old Willamette." Lounsbury
is a pole vauiter and broad jump
er. - Forbes and Shanks, both
iood distant men, will return to
the varsity this year, while many
other recruits are in evidence and
make an encouraging showing for
the track so -early in the school
y ear. Oregonian.
Should Keep Sheep.
Every farmer, with time to
give them attention, should keep
a few sheep, says the Agricultur
ist. There is no other domestic
animal thit will give scn large
returns for the money, outlay and
the care required. The sheep is
invaluable as a weed destroyer,
and the yearly increase and an
uual "clip" makes the shvep one
of the faim's most reliable re
sources. Every farmer could,
maintain a flock of from 20 to 100
with very little expense and
much profit. The "best kind"
is largely a matter of fancy.
Every year the sheep enter more
largely into the production of
food in the United States. Good
mutton is scarce and the indica
tions are that sheep prices will
continue to soar for some time,
at least, Everv farmer or feeder
who has handled sheep in the
past four or five years, has bad
good profit tor his pains. Decide
what kird of sheep vou will raise
and then start your flock.
Special Attraction September 25.

are to have the opportunity of

much in vogue in New York.
Plots are entirely done away with
their place being taken with
catchy up-to-date songs, glitter
ing dance effects, and bright dia
logue of the clever principals
composing the company. Seats
are now selling.
THE WHOLE TRUTH.
Most Editors Too Charitable to
Print AH Kansas Editor is Not.
People who are given to abus
ing the , newspaper for what it
prints or omits to print, as the
case may be, should take a hint
lrom an article published in a
Kansas paper, and be thankful
that the editor does not always
tell the whole truth or go into
details concerning certain affairs.
Frequently the editor is tetrpted
to "tell things" as he sees them,
but charity ; forbids. Then, in
turn, let the reader refrain from
abusing the paper.
This Kansas editor, in describ
ing as entertainment in his town
It was, with one or two excep
tions, the rottenest thing of the
kind ever seen in Atchison. Tie
singing of Miss Rildea Farlinson
was something awful, sounding
most of the time like a pig
squealing for something to eat.
Miss Farlinson is the victim of
politeness. Her friends pretend
to enjoy her singing in private
whereas they are bored. They
spurred her on to make hersell
extremely ridiculous last night,
ard did her great harm by not
giving her a hint as to the truth.
"The Landerson sisters played
a duet on the piano for 15
minutes by the watch. It was
simply awful, but the audience
thought it would not be polite
not to applaud, and brought on a
second a tack, which lasted ten
minutes. The sisters were prob
ably tuined for good housekeep
ers by this missapplied kindness ot
the audience. Falson Iterson, a
youth whojshould be put to work
sang one of those maudlin popu
lar songs about Sadie going
away from home because her
father would not keep her suppli
ed with street car tickets. Fal-
som loafs around with the gir Is
too much, and he will never
amount to anything. The violin
solo by Miss Ancherly was too
bad for dhcription, and the ac
companiment was no better.
"The recitations by Annie
Chanter and Alice Pointen were
the same old thing, en the same
old subject. Yet both were ap
plauded and their miuds tnrned
from the right channel of house
work and dish wash hi n?. It was
an unfortunate and painful affair
throughout, and no good can
come of it."

THE SCHEDULE.
And Other Intresting Facts About
OAC Football.

October 19 Willamette at
Corvallis.
October 26 Whitworth college

November 28 St Vincent's
college at Los Angeles.
With such a coach as' F. S.
Norcross, picked by "Hurry Up"
Yost as the greatest quarterback
ever produced in the middle west,
entering upon his new second
year at Oregon Agricultural col
lege, and an array of football
talent seldom seen in a northwest
college, prospects at Corvallis are
good for a winning eleven, de
clares the Sunday Journal.
"Nearly all of the men who held
Oregon and Washington down to
a scoreless 60 minutes last season
will be seen on t'ie field this tall
and they will be re-enforced by
at least three or four men who
made splendid records two and
three years ago.
Gene al Manager Greenhaw,
'.vLiO has spejt the summer at his
home io Po tland, believes that
OAC w'll pl?ce n the gridiron
this year one of the strongest
lepras that has ever donned Cor
vallis mo!e.'uns. Greenhaw is
e. thusiastic over the chances ot
his team and does not anticipate
u mscal trouble with his oppon
ents. True, his scheduule does
not con tain, such Jeams .a -Idaho,
Washington state college, or the
University of Washington, but
the "Aggies" will try conclusions
with their time-honored enemy,
the University ot Oregon at Eu
gt le.
Washington, "U," Idaho and
Washington slate were the reci
pient of challenges f om the Cor
vaPis manager. but so far -no
game has " -cn arranged with any
ot the thre. For three years
the "Aggies" have journeyed
no th to Seattle, and on two of
tVe occasions administered
severe drubbings. Last season a
no-sco, e game was played.
Repeated efforts to get the
Wash'ngto.i "U to Corvallis fot
a game have failed, and the scant
courtesy shown by the sound
players has not increased their
favor with tee OAC players.
Coach Norcross' men will play
their Thanksgiving game iu
Southern California this year,
which, by the way, may be the
only big exhibition of the Ameri
can gauie played in that state,
Stanford and the University ot
California are still substituting
Rugby for the gteat college
game. The game ought to be
a drawing card in the absence of
the annual contest of the two
largest institutions.
