190S, in the United States, is $7,
778 000.000. accordlnz to the recent
report of the secretary of agricul
ture. This stupendous total is not
only the greatest in the nation's his-'
tory, but Is also nearly three hundred
million dollars more than that of
1907. During the last ten years we
have raised the Inconceivable sum of
sixty billion dollars worth of produce
on the farms of the United States.
The corn which grew last Summer in
lour months would, if .it were not de
voted to better purposes, pay the in
terest bearing debt of the United
States, dig the Panlma canal, and
buy fifty battle-ships. The other lead
ing products in order of value are
cotton, hay, wheat, oats and other ce
reals, sugar, potatoes, tobacco and
iops. If anyone can read Secretary
AVllson's report without a feeling of
pride In the stupendous extent and
-wealth of the country, he'd better
Jhave himself examined. There is
something vitally the matter with that
yortion of his brain whith is the seat

One exchange says that probably
the worst fool bill that will appear
in the legislature t.3 session is by
Kellaher, requiring bedsteads and
sheets to be at least nine feet long.
That Is something that will regulate
itself. How long, oh how long, is Or
egon to be afflicted with such repre
sentatives as Kellaher. And another
oh serves that something is the mat
ter with the dear public when It votes
f i- :aen for members of the legisla

the use of hat pins over ten inches
long. But the latest is the bill In

The hunting expedition which Pres
ident Rooaevelt has planned for next
year in South Africa is one which
should result in much enlightenment
to science. The specimens of animal
life, peculiar to those which are fa
miliar to the people of civilized
countries and which will be added to
the Smithsonian Institute, will prove
an attraction to all students of ani
mal creation. This is observed in
view of the petitions which are being
addressed to the president by humane
societies of the country begging him
to abandon the hunt on grounds of
humanity. In another column will be
found a copy of the petition which
is being addressed to Mr. Roosevelt.

Preparations are In busy progress

be given on Saturday evening. This
is the second annual joint r-ceptin
of these two classes and It promises
to be an event worthy of the fes:l-e

As a pre-commencement occasion
occurs the annual tryout for oratori

citles are to be represented, the Nor
mal and the Vespertine, by D.
C. Henry and Mabel Robinson respec
tively. Miss Ida Coyne was oblised
to give up her place on account of
extra study caused by the delay at
Dolph during the cold weather. Class
sermon is to be at the Normal chapel

The churches of Monmouth will unite

On Monday morning at 9 o'clock

outdo the other.
Commencement exercises are to be
held in the Assembly Hall on Monday

27th year of the O. S. N.S. will re
ceive diplomas.
The event of the year to the child
ren of the training school came on
Saturday evening when the long-talked-of
cantata, "The Merry Com
pany" and "Peggy's Dream' were pre
sented. The chorus work of the for
mer deserves special commendation
as does the characterization of the
special parts. Cadet Alene Hosner;
Little Old Man, Claude Boyle; Lit
tle Old Woman, Lora Chute. The po
licemen "knew their business" and
their marching and stunts made a de
cided hit with the audience. "Peggy's
Dream" was a credit to all who train:
ed for and participated in it. It went
through without a stumble excttpt
'when Jack "fell down the hill." The
costumes and steps were very taking,
the parts well adapted. An encour
aging sum was realized and work will
immediately to begin upon a more
intricate production to be given late
in the Spring.
