r Walker Whitesides' great suc
cess, "We Are King,";will be an
unusual play at the opera house
next Thursday night. v It is a
highclass comedy byLeut Gor-l
don Keane, author of "The Mag-"'
ic Melody," ' and was used for
three seasons by Mr. Whitesides
as a staring vehicle. The action
of the play is in Kahnburg, a
small principality in Germany,
and deals with the complications
in trying to dethrone King Hec-;
tor, a despot who has run. his
kingdom into debt and ground
down his subjects. A corre-1
spondent for the London Record,
a light hearted fellow, wanders
into Kahnburg in search of
news. He is arrested as a spy.
The Prime Minister and his fol
lowers who are plotting to rid
the kingdom of Hector, are so
impressed with the correspond- j
ent's marvelous resemblance to
the king, that they induce him j
to impersonate the king, who is
away on a secret mission. Ven- j
ner under the impression that'
he is rendering the Court a favor, ;
throws the palace open to the j
wuiuiuu pwpie, juwbib but) taxes
and gets in to all sorts' of ludic
rous situations ... through his ig
norance of Court affairs.
Edmund Carroll and an ex

The Lewelling Club, composed
of students of Horticulture, meets
every Monday evening in the
Horticultural building and is
open to any townspeople who
care to attend.
The Agronomy wing of the
new Agricultural building is
nearing completion and will
furnish a large number of class
rooms, excellently lighted. .
Many townspeople visit the li
brary and use the reference
books and current magazines.
This is most pleasing to the man
agement and many more are
welcom-id.
The swimming pool in the
basement of Shepard Hall is to
be heated from the boiler rocm
and thus becoinfortable through

can get just as good for less than
half, l miles from Philomath,
Ore., 13 acres; 3 acres in culti
vation, 1 acre of rich sandy loam,
on river bottom, balance in
brush and timbereasily cleared.
This would make an ideal gar
den and truck ranch. Only $550.
