'" On Wednesday, June 12, the members of the Delphian and Ves pertine Literary Societies of the Normal, presented Miss Kennon with a beautiful black leather writ ing case, which bespeaks the high regard the societies hold for the earnest and enthusiastic work of Miss Kennon during the past year. Monday morning Mrs. Gerlinger, a member of the Board of Regents for the University of Oregon and official representative of the Food Administration in charge of the work among college women of Ore gon, spoke before the student body concerning war service work in con nection with summer vacations, thrift stamp sales, and food produc tion and conservation. Numbers of the girls of the Oregon Normal School have signed up for definite pieces of constructive summer work. Tuesday morning was Mr. H. C. Ostien's last appearance at chapel before his departure for France as a Y. M. C. A. secretary. The stu dent body presented to him through the president, Miss Strauser, a handsome silver wrist watch as a reminder of his splendid service for the Oregon Normal School., Mr. Ostien in a fittingly happy speech expressed his keen pleasure in the gift. It is with regret that the school parts with Mr. Ostien but his new opportunities for service which he can render so well will recompense the students and facul ty with the thought that the field of service is only wider and at this time more compelling. Mr. Ostien has a leave of absence for this work. His many friends will wish his safe return and will await news of his work in France. Wednesday morning the students in Miss Butler's Advanced Domestic Art classes presented the finished products of their quarter's work in a fashion show. There were grad- uation dresses, ginghams, dainty lawns, "made overs" and all varie ties of artistically fashioned gar ments which the girls had made themselves under Miss Butler's di rection. It was a fine presentation of work well done and proved most enjoyable to the interested specta- tors. Wednesday morning another chapter in "The Making of a Man o'War's man" was shown on the screen.

AGRICULTURAL COMPARISON High School Baccalaureate Ora tor Liken Learning to -Fa rating According to Rev. C. E. Pace, who preached the high school bacca laurate sermon, there are several kinds of culture. "True Culture" was the topic of his address, deliv ered to a large crowd which filled the Christian church to capacity last Sunday evening, and he insisted that the true kind was immensely differ ent from the kind that is spelled with a "k". ,? Aa well out learnlntr into a child by opening his skull and stuffing it in with a force pump as to accept the common idea of instruction that puts the blame for lack of acquired learning on the teacher of the child. The child could only give out what was in it arid teaching was the art of drawing out the things that were in a child's mind. Culture of the mind was associat ed with the original meaning of the word which was its use to designate the preparation of a field for the growing of crops. Just as a field is prepared, sown and harvested, is the culture of the mind accomplish ed. The speaker gave instances where the mind and braia only had been cultivated. Efficiency had resulted in a one sided culture which made of a student a machine and often one cruel and brutal. To obtain true culture the heart must be pre pared also and sown with the prop er seed. Throughout the discourse, which was prolonged to an hour in length, there was a humorous and witty vein that kept the audience constant ly on the alert. It was a union ser vice with the three ministers of the city participating. Special music was furnished by the high school glee clubs under the direction of Miss Morris. The complete pro gram appears elsewhere in this is sue of the Herald. Latest List Called to Colors Following is a list of the drafted men for Polk county: Glen Keen ey, Hoskins; Harvey V.

Drop Day Meetings For the Summer Because of the pressure of farm work which makes it difficult to get leisure in the day time during the summer, the meeting time of the Grange has been set for the even ing of the second Saturday of the month. At the session of the grange last Saturday the members listened to the report of their dele gates to the State Grange. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Stockholm represented Pomona Grange and although they were not regular delegates a num ber of other Monmouth grangers visited during the session of the state meet in the capital city and reported at the meeting. A feat ure of the State Grange was the ap pearance of the Elkins rural school and teachers in exhibition before the assembled visitors and dele gates and the exhibition is said to have been most satisfactory and to have made a fine impression on the spectators. t Others who attended the session of the State Grange during the week were Messrs. and Mesdames P.O.Powell, L. P. Gilmore, W. Riddell, Jr., Mrs. T. J. Edwards, Mrs. E. R. Ostrom, Miss Maggie Butler and H. K. Sickafoose. H. Hirschberg, a member of the local grange was re-elcted treasur er of the State Grange and Mrs. Winnie Braden, also a member, was a candidate for the office cf secretary of the organization. Mrs Braden was present at the meeting of the Grange Saturday and gave an interesting account of plans for work in the county of the Food Administration and Council of De fense with both of which she is in timately connected.

MAYOR OSTIEN RESIGNS J 0 B Departure For France Leave City Without Chief Executive The resignation of H. C. Ostien as mayor of Monmouth was read at the meeting of the common council Tuesday night and was duly accept ed. Words of regret at the part ing with our chief executive were spoken and on motion the council duly expressed its appreciation of the services of Mr. Ostien, his cour tesy to his fellow members and zeal for the city welfare, their regret at the severance of relations and best wishes lor him m the service of our country abroad. One member of the council, D. B. Stump was absent. As there seem ed to be a general scarceness of receptive candidates, the matter of naming a successor was put off un til the next regular meeting of the council, June 28. In the meantime by provision of the city charter, the recorder is acting-mayor. The new city well was reported as ready for connection and the council instructed the water super intendent to turn in its water to the reservoir as soon as approved by the State Board of Health. The recorder was also instructed to notify the paving contractors that the time of doing the work of main tenance on the paving for the pres ent year is now with us. ' It. developed during the meeting that between eighty and ninety loads of gravel had been hauled on the street south from the Evangel ical church. This was done on the agreement that the city pay for the gravel and interested people donate the hauling which was found a most satisfactory way to carry on street improvements. The eclipse of the sun held the boards in Monmouth Saturday as well as elsewhere and while it was underway practically all of our in habitants spent the time in the open, watching through smoked glass or photo negative the progress of the great event. Save for a thin cres cent, like the rind of a section of orange, the eclipse was total, the strange color of the softened light, that ensued during the course of the event, being a conspicuous feat ure thereof . Mrs. W. M. Black of Falls City was heating dope which was to be used for garden spray when the stuff boiled over and she burned her hands. When she went to get something to put on the burns the spray material took fire, scattered over the room and the house was in flames before water from the city fire department could be turned on. Mrs. Hewitt spent a most enjoy able time last week visiting with relatives in Lane county. She has a nephew who is sheriff of the county and she was much interest ed in the workings of the jail in Eugene. Another nephew with whom she visited in Springfield is mayor of the latter city. ( Miss Frances Brewster of Seattle visited last week with former schoolmates in Monmouth. She was returning from Florence, Oregon, where she attended the funeral of Iher father.
