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

-.iiu. i mm ui signaling was
also given, a message being hand
ed up by a member of the audi
ence, wigwagged across the
stage and reduced to writing at
tne receiving end with the aid
of a code.
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.

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. Her death was due to a
form of epilepsy that puzzled the
medical talent of the northwest
to classify with a certainty. She
had three attacks of the disease
at intervals covering a period of
several years. She is survived
by a husband.
