This audi ence was well pleased, too, by the varied and interesting pro gram which the company gave. The program, which was well balanced and splendidly selected, ! contained many old favorites, given with good interpretation. The violinist and harpist were especially well received as were also the soloists. The Hawaiian melodies were tuneiul and inter esting. Altogether the perform ance was of high merit and de served the hearty reception given by the audience. The company was particularly generous in re sponding' to encores.

The numbers contrib uted bv the Delphians were a piano duet by Misses Lund and Peterson and a vocal solo by Miss Davis, an honorary member of the society. Both numbers were very well rendered. Instead of the regular roll call the society was honored by calls from ten girls from foreign . countries, dressed in their native costumes. Each visitor told of the customs of her people, the places of inter est in her country, and extended a cordial invitation to the Del phians to visit her in her home land. A very instructive as well as entertaining number of the program was a debate on the question: Resolved, That school credit should be given for home ment in the public school For convenience, the club di vided Monmouth into four imagi nary sections, lying, respectively, north and south of Main street. and east and west of the railroad track.

Knox farm in the Row River Valley, east of here, and the remaining six pairs on the C. Henry Haight place, in the Sagi naw district.

Attempt to Be Made to Change United States Flag Whereas, we are informed through the public press that a bold attempt is about to be made to very materially change the features of our deaf old flag by inserting in the blue field the cross bars of the late Confederate battle flag, Be it Rcsol ced, That the members of Gen. Gibson W. R. C. No. 42, of Inde pendence, Oregon, protest against any change in our dear old flag that our fathers, husbands and brothers fought for so many years, and That Washington, the father of our country, approved and be- good deal of cash in the border banks and Americans wanted to be protected against any raid or invasion which might result from sensational over-night develop ments at any time in the Mexican situation. Mr. Garner also said many cat tle had disappeared lately and residents believed Mexicans were responsible. The request for ad ditional troops was discussed at the Cabinet meeting and decided on today by the President, who communicated his ' approval to the Secretary of War. General Diaz and his friends here said they would announce their purposes here in a state ment tomorrow. The Mexicans denied that they were seeking support or sanction for any revo lutionary movement, saying their idea chiefly was a campaign of information about Mexico. Just what their plans are for the restoration of peace was not divulged, but it was learned that they are seeking the elimination of General Huerta and are not al lied in any way with the consti tutionalists. Members of the party said Senator Root met Gen eral Diaz on the latter's visit to Washington last week and that Diaz came to Washington at the invitation of Senator Fall. Whether the Senators are . fully acquainted with the plans of the Diaz group is not known. this connection ad- queathed to us, and dressed to the Portland Commer cial Club will be given prompt attention. Dates for the International Livestock Exposition have been fixed for December 7-12, 1914, at the Union Stockyards in Port land. The announcement is made thus early in the season in order that stockmen and ranchers may have a long season in which to prepare their exhibits. General Manager Plummer states that this will probably be the only first-class stock show in the country at which no entry fees are charged to exhibitors or ad mission fee to the visiting public. The premium list is the largest and most comprehensive ever That we call upon our repre sentatives in Congress to use their influence that this desecra tion does not prevail. Eliza A. Ewing, Laura C.
