teal Vol. V Monmouth, Polk County, Oregon, Friday, Jan. 10, 1913 No. 18 REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER Livestock Association Seeks to Aid Industry IRRIGATION CONGRESS IN PORTLAND County School Superintendents of Oregon Held Convention in Salem Last Week. Portland, Ork., Jan. 7. Ccrtain measures believed to be of benefit to the state as a whole are favored by the Oregon Pure bred Livestock Association, which will present them to the coming session of the legislature. Among these is the Livestock Sanitary Hill, which has the approval of the Grange, the woolgrowers, dairy association and the con sumers League. The association also asks that $50,000 out of the Panama-Pacific Exposition ap propriation be set aside for live stock premiums to go to Oregon exhibitors. An appropriation of $10,000 is asked for purchasing livestock for the Oregon Experiment Sta tion; this is to be a continuing appropriation: It is recommend ed that the premium fund for livestock at the State Fair be raised and that an annual appro priation of $3,000 be made for the annual dairy show at Port land. It is also thought best to do away with district fairs and establish a county fair in each county. It is recommended that no state fair be held in 1915, but that this state join with the Panama-Pacific Exposition to hold the biggest stock show at San Francisco ever known. Plans are complete for the Ore gon Irrigation Congress, to be held in Portland January 9, 10 and 11, which will be attended by many from -all parts of the state.

Tomorrow (Saturday) Night 5 and 10 Cents STATE NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES Jubilee Singers Will be Here Jan. 28th Instead of 27th COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS VISIT HERE Mrs. Carrie Jacobs-Bond Will Give Entertainment in the Chapel Saturday Night. The Normal was favored last Monday by a visit from nineteen County Superintendents which was very much appreciated by the faculty and student body. The Normal feels that there is no body of people that stands closer to both the schools of the State and the Normal than does the County Superintendents, and therefore, they are doubly welcome here at any time. They spent the day in examining the work, b th of the Normal and of the training school, and we trust that what they saw was satis factory. The Domestic Science department served a dainty luncheon at noon time, of which the visitors spoke very highly. It required a great deal of enthu siasm on the part of the depart ment to serve the lunch on so short notice, and just at the close of the vacation period, and their efforts are very much ap preciated. The time for the Jubilee Sing ers has been changed again from January 27 to January 28, just one day later. Nearly every student was present Monday morning ready for their usual hard work. The spirit with which they returned was very commendable and speaks well for the enthusiasm of the student body as a whole. We regret to report that Miss Myrtle Cooley is so ill that she was taken to a hospital at Rose burg. Her . many friends wish her a speedy recovery to her usual good health. President Ackerman ad dressed the Salem high school Wednesday afternoon, and on Friday night of this week de livered an address under the auspices of the Philomath Col lege at Philomath. He will re turn Saturday evening. All who are interested in an evening of pleasure and a genu ine musical treat, cannot afford to miss hearing Mrs. Carrie Jacobs-Bond on Saturday even ing. Mrs. Bond is an artist of international reputation; as a composer and as a performer she ranks among the very best. It is characteristic of her recitals that they appeal most directly to the heart, touching most tenderly the bond of sympathy, stirring responsive memories and arousing the loftiest emotions; all who have heard her agree on the universal verdict of the subtle magic of her power and her ability to carry' her audience completely by her simple but most charming presentation. All her productions breathe her own sweet personality and it is a rare opportunity to hear such an artist in so small a town. We bespeak for her a large and enthusiastic audience.
