Fine Program Th Rov Scouts of Monmouth entertained a housefull of friends in the high school assembly room Tuesday night, presenting an ex cellent program. Raymond Corn well was master of ceremonies with Ellis Fisher as first lieutenant and Ranie Burkhead as major of acrobatics. The feature of the program was a sketch entitled 8 "Stren uous Afternoon" in which all of scouts appeared. The opening curtain disclosed the scoutmaster seated at table engaged in writing his report of an outing which was drawing to a close. He was interrupted from time to time with visitors, scouts and others and his report suffered as a consequence. Max Bowersox, in the guise of a Bowery youth, sought to inquire and then to unite with the scouts and suc ceeded in- raising numerous laughs from the audience. Ellis Fisher as a grouchy farmer came in to protest against the tramp ling of his oatfield, but stayed to reconstruct his ideas of the scouts and departing invited all to come around and have a glass of milk and a few apples. As an introduction to the pro gram of the evening Mr. Corn well gave an explanatory talk as to the aims and objects of the Boy Scout movement , He in sisted that it was a non-military organization and said the ob servance of its principles would improve the character and aid in the development of the boys into manly men. A Fine Concert .The concert by the Salem band which was postponed two weeks ago because of inclement weath er was held under more favorable circumstances Wednesday night, an evening carved out on pur pose in the laboratories of the weather department. A large assemblage of students, faculty and townspeople gathered to listen. ' The circle of auditors settled thickly on the lawn in front of the Normal and spread out among the tree trunks of the campus. The melodies played by the band were enthusiastically applauded. A feature of the evening was the singing of Mr. Lauderman, which . was very much appreciated by all. An Indoor Picnic A party of summer school stu dents at Boothby's planned for a picnic at the latter's farm last Sunday. The farm people pre pared for their coming by a raid on the flock of chickens and when Sunday dawned with con tinued rain they saw that meas ures must be . taken that the chicken pie be not baked in vain. So Boothby, Jr., filled his hay rack with hay, and with blankets and plenty of umbrellas came to town and returned with the stu dents. At the farm they found the ample barn filled with new mown hay and with an indoor picnic the good time came off as scheduled and the chicken bones were properly picked. Entertained the Natives By way of a little diversion someone gathered up all the cows and horses that are staked out in the city and attached them to various places along Main street Tuesday night One was tied in the band stand, another to the Evangelical church, one to the telegraph pole on the corner by Boy Scouts An exhibition of "first measures was given, showing the coun,y' Prof- Hedrick is a grad applying of bandages to the Uate of the 0,d Narmal- an has head, hands and feet, including ce nad Pnice in the the placing of a broken kg in schools of the state.

Ellis Fisher then asked per mission to make a short address. His theme was Scoutmaster Corn well who, he said, wa3 much ap preciated by the boys under him and whose near departure was regretted by them. As a token of esteem they desired to pre sent him with a watch charm, the same being a gold compass. The scoutmaster accepted with appropriate thanks. The boys then gave some tumbling exhibitions under the direction of Ranie Burkhead. They turned summersaults in a number of different ways; formed pin wheels and went turning across the stage or became three story pyramids in which position the act and program closed, with the top boy waving the flag. The program also included a violin solo by Hugh Bell and a piano solo by Thyra Staats. south of the hotel and one to the hose cart in the entrance to the city hall. The owners of the animals were out early in the morning and it was only the very early risers who saw the enter tainment provided for them. Young Woman Dead Mrs. Frank Chalifoue, a daugh ter of Mrs. Geo. Ebbert of this city and sister of E. M. Ebbert. died at her home in Walla Walla, Wash., last Friday at 7:35 p. m. Her remains were brought to Portland for interment, where she was laid to rest in the River view cemetery on Monday. Mrs. Chalifoue was 47 years of age and a native of Lane county, having been born near Spring field.
