A very entertaining program wan
given by the lelphiun Society on
Friday evening, November 1, 1918.
At the joint program the Delphians
were represented by Miss Sadie
Ilaveley with a very fetching little
Quaker song, and by Mitts Edith
Sumner with aneipecially appropri
ate reading.
After the joint program and a
short business meeting conducted
by the Vice-President, Miss Pauline
Peck, the regular program of the
Delphian Society opened with an
unusually interesting Shadow I'lay,
directed by Miss Clara Scharp.
A well-known Mother Goose Rhyme
was cleverly camouflaged and intro
duced in a novel manner.
A very weird spectacle was wit
neiit'd when eighteen of the Delph
ian fcirlx, robed in white, bearing
jack-o'-lanterns, slowly and stealthi
ly moved about the stage to the ac
companiment of uncanny noises; as
the wind howling and cats yowling
This number was directed by Miss
Edith Maison.
Something different and very ap
ropos to the occasion was produced
in the form of a pantomime,
"Miles Standish", under the able
generalship of Miss Chloe Hucll.
The periods of intermission were
made very delightful by the musi
cal contributions tf Vera Hudson.
The critic's report given by Miss
Blanche Wh te was apt and to the
point.
Miss Smith, Critic of the First
and Second grades of the Mon
mouth Training School, represen
ted the Faculty Wednesday's chapel,
"The Heart of a Child" was Miss
Smith's subject and her sympathe
tic presentation and telling illus
trations matte an impression upon
the student body that will carry
her message into many schools.

Movements of Soldiers
From word received this week it
is evident that Monmouth soldiers
are on the move. A card from
Oscar Zook announces that he was
at the time at Windson, Ont., and
Howard Morlan is moving from
Leavenworth, Kan., to Camp
Meade, Maryland. Howard's com
pany preceded him somewhat, he
having been held back to do in
struction work for a brother officer
who was sick. Captain W. L.
Elkins is still held at Ft. Stevens
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Stockholm
are in Hood River this week visiting
with relatives. During their ab
sence H. K. Sickafoose is keeping
things in motion at the Monmouth
Orchard. ' ,
With the ban on public meetings
and suppression of social gather
ings in the city locals are few and
far between.
The Christmas box committee
will be at the post office Friday at
2 o'clock and on Tuesday at 2 and
will confer with and assist people
who have Christmas remembrances
for the soldiers.
Card of Thanks
To the Voters of Polk County
and particularly, the Monmouth
people:
My appreciation for the fine sup
port at the polls can not be satis
factorily expressed in words but I
hope to so conduct myself and the
office of county clerk after January
1, in a manner that will justify
your confidence.
