So ',, much were hig lectures appreci " ated that his elass unanimously f passed the following resolution: It RESOLUTION OP THANKS H Whereas, Col. E. Hofer, has ' i out of his kindness and his J abundant fund of information, I enriched with his wide reading I and large acquaintance, given the students of the Oregon Nor '.. mal School some most instructive, interesting and valuable lectures : during the past few months: ., Therefore, be it re-salved -That we, th students of the Leeture Course, hereby extend to Col E. Hofer a vote of appremtioa for . his generous efforts in our be : half. The Normal faculty is in great demand for educational meetings ; and rallies at the present time. Last Saturday Mr. Butler was at Turner, Mr. Gentle at Sheridan and Pres. Ackerman at N. Plains, - and on Tuesday of this week ; Pres. Ackerman attended a rally at Webfoot, some seven miles i from McMinnville, and Pre. ; Ackerman has accepted an invi- tatiofl to speak to the Southern Owgoei School Masters' Club at Jacksonville next Saturday. Mr. Evenden has accepted an invita tion to attend a joint rally at -'Steridan on April 10. They all report very pleasant arai profit able gatherings. Mr. Griffa has commenced to tear down the old gymnasium which was recently, sold to him, and when ' the domestic science and art classes are transferred to the new training school building, .and the building belonging to the school district now occupied by such classes has been removed, and the walks laid to the gymna sium, heating plant and laundry, and Normal grounds will be very much improved in appearance. The out-of-door activities are beginning to take shape. Walk ing clubs under the direction of Miss Taylor, head of the Depart ment of Physical Education, are being organized, tennis teams are getting together, and the young men of the Normal are seriously debating the : work up on the baseball diamond. Preparations are being made for perhaps one of the greatest events of the year, namely, May Day exercises. These will take the form largely of a pageant, illustrating the Exploration peri od of American history on the part of France, England and Spain, together with the uual competitive events and the crown ing of the May Queen. Mis Parrott, Head of the English Department, made a business trip to Portland Satur day. The Easter vacation will be from Wednesday noon, March 31, to Tuesday morning, April 6, and many of the students are having pleasant home anticipations. President Ackerman received word from Prof. Sheldon, Head of the -Department of Education at the University of Oregon, that the Committee on Advanced Credits of the U. of 0. has de cided to grant full two years col lege credit to those of the Oregon Normal School graduates who have taken two years professional work in addition to a high school course. This privilege is hieilv appreciated by the Oregon Nor mal School, and we sincerely trust that such committee wiH never have cause to regret eitending this privilege to our Oregon Nor mal School graduates. The outfook for the summer school is very encouraging, and the Drobabilitiei ar that evrrv room in Monmouth available will be oaed. The President is aniious to have all who will furnish rooms or table board to arive the infor mation in writing, stating full particulars, and the price. Please do not telephone in but send it in writing. Friday morning the Training School Orchestra under Miss Ho ham's direction gave an enjoy able little woe-ram in assembly. The boys and girls gave the stu dent body much pleasure by their excellent playing. On of the numbers was esDwiallv nsirwH for the benefit of the students "The Student Teacher's Walts." ' Monday evening Miss Butler. Miss Taylor. Miss Hoham and Miss Dunsmore were hostesses at a birthday dinner in honor of Jars. Lvenden and Miss West. Miss Ruth Raktarae was the Senior speaker Wednesday morn ing. Her talk on Festivals of Japan" brought to light many Quaint customs of the inland neo- pie whose ways are so different rrom our own. The three literary societies are jointly presenting "Polly of the Circw." a clever littk play, on Friday night of this week. Re hearsals under Miss Pamrtt's direction have developed real talent in some of the characters who are working hard.. The whole student body is eagerly looking forward to the, final presentation. si A 1 March 30 is the date of Mary Antin's appearance in Monmouth where she will lecture on the subject of ."The Responsibilities of American Citizenship," a topic on which everyone should be thinking. This will be Mary Antin's first appearance on the Pacific Coast and the Oregon jersey tsm SUE For Po& Getttrty Will HeU an May 12 Be 131 89 G3J lift EEI EU'ERED Swraval Muawumta StoeJk Rawer! WfflHavNumbcrfH! bk the SaU , As things begin to shape up for the Polk County Jerseys Breed ers' sale on May 12, evidence ac cumulates to indicate that it will -in many ways-be the greatest sale of the kind ever held. Over 150 animals have' been entered for the sale. Of these more than fifty and probably as many as uxty will be Register of Merit Jerseys. About twenty-five bulls will be sold and almost all of these will be from Register of Merit dams. So far as can be learned, this k the largest num ber of Register of Merit Jerseys ever placed in one sale, and should give it a place high in the history of dairy sales. While there is an earnest de sire on the part of all to have a successful sale, and the utmost harmony of action prevails, the consignors seem to want the fact emphasised that they care more for satisfied customers at this first sale than for high prices. In fact, owing to financial condi tions, high prices are not ex pected. Serious consideration is Normal School is peculiarly for tunate in baing able to secure one of the most conspicuous persons in American public life today as a number on th seasons' lecture course. Only twenty years ago she came to America with her par ents, a -child of thirteen, yet within suteen years she produced one of the two great books of .the time "The Promised Land," human document of extraordi nary vividness and power. Mary Antm, who in private life is Mrs. Amadeu W. Grabau, wife of a" Columbia University professor, was fortunate in hav ing her ability early recognized by her family and by such per sons as Dr. Edward Everett Hale. Mary Antin's initial appearance on the American platform was in 1913. From the beginning she held her audiences in rapt atten tion. She speaks words of con viction that m aud knars find hard to forgt. Owe p'omirnent man hm said "I have rarely listened to a more soul stirring address. She spoke quietly, but the large audience had no difficulty in hearing her. I have been told by many people that they learned more in a single lecture by her than they had been able, to g&ther from many books and publications'." Dr. Winshfpa noted educator, calls Mary Antin the woman of the hour with a great message. A Mary Antin lecture is a new experience a fascinating study. ! It is something to be enjoyed and analyzed. In her lecture which is to be given in Monmouth she emphasizes patriotism, not for one country, but for the world as a universal brotherhood. Tickets for this splendid lecture may. be had for fifty cents at Johnson's Book Store where the ticket board will be from Friday until Tuesday noon. Tickets may be had at the door also. being given to the idea of not allowing consignors to bid, al though some of the small con signors desire to buy. Clark Hembree of Monmouth, will have eight head in the sale' two of them Register of Merit cows. Mr. Hembree has not yet fully decided about showing at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, but hardly thinks he will go. He has some very fine animals, but his herd is not as complete as last year, when he made such great winnings at the California and Oregon State Fairs. Frank Loughary of Monmouth will have six Cows and two bulls in the sale. All but one of the cows is in the Register of Merit. Lady North's Majesty, third as a junior yearling at the Oregon State Fair in 1913, was put on official test late in January. She was just three years old the day she began her test and she tested over six per cent her first month, Luckiamute ideal F.ern, that was tested as a three-year-old and produced 540 pounds of butter, is again on test. She has tested up to seven per cent and her average is about six. All the herd are doing well. Guy Hewitt, of Monmouth, will contribute fourteen head to the sale. Three of these are bulls and of the cows six are in the Register of Merit and the others are either the dams of Register of Merit cows or the daughters' ot cows with official records. Bettie's Golden gi'rl, one of Mr. Hewitt's good heifers by his old bull, Kinda Lad of S. B.. pro duced 510 pounds and ten ounces of butter as a two-year-old and dropped her second calf in thir teen months. She will be tested again as a four-year-old and Mr. Hewitt has every reason to ex pect a record of 700 pounds. John B. Slump k Soh of Mon mouth are the largest consignors. They will have thirty-six in the sale, only six of them bulls. Moyane's Monine finished her year's test February 16, with 811 pounds of butter, subject of course to slight revision. She will freshen in six weeks. She came through in perfect health and good shape. Her average test was over six and eight-tenths per cent and she produced about 10,500 pounds of milk. She had a seven day test of 19.15 pounds. Her fine bull calf, just a year old, is not yet sold. Noble's Emerald of Fair Acres, a daughter of Noble Peer, that freshened about the first of the year, will be put in the sale. She is milking up to twenty-eight pounds and show ing a good test. She is on official test and the party buying her can finish the test if he desires. Several of the consignments would not be sold if the Messrs. Stump were going to show this year. They will sell show stock that would win in almost any company. Some especially sweet calves will be sold. Thirteen of the cows to be sold are already in the Register of Merit rr i . i .i i i t mi lyiignt aiar mat naa ner milk flow diminished by an injury to her udder finished her year with about 700 pounds of butter and 11,000 pounds of milk. About thirty cows are on test now. Some will qualify without finish-1 mg, before the sale and buyers can continue the test if desired. . While Monmouth will furnish a large proportion of the animals sold and while the field man hap pened to see the Monmouth con signors, it is by no means the only locality furnishing good Jerseys. Frank Lynn of Perry dale will have a choice consign ment of eight females. , He will have both Register of Merit ani mals and cows on test Lady's Pet of Kilbourne, his grand old Island show cow, is among those now on official test and while not milking as heavy as she did last Concluded on page six ' REGULAR PIJU1 LETTER Celilo Canal to Be Tested In April NEW OREGON MM BEING PRINTED Farm Land Bureau of Oregon DtvelofNMMt Lnun lias Just Umi Bmftk Portland, Ore., Mar. 22.
