Tlic famous ifet, who is also president of the I'ontry Society of America. Is making a tour of the west and lee- luring at colleges, universities and before various literary organizations. The visit is considered of special in terest to the Normal and indeed H Oregon from the fact that Mr. Mark ham was born in Oregon City 09 years ago. Iter he moved with his family to California, but the fact re. mains that ho is now far the best known poet who is a native of Orcgoti His poem "The Main With the Hoe" is known on both sides of the Atlantic ocean and has been, translated into many foreign languages. Mr. Mark ham will jrive readings from his own work in the chapel May 17 at 8:15. Thin is an excellent opportunity to hear this very noted son of Oregon and it is hoped that many people from Monmouth and the country round will join to do him honor. The price of admission has been put very low as it is merely hoped to defray ex pense. The prices will be 35 and M cents. In Portland his lectures will be invitation affairs but in Mon mouth the public is welcome. President Ackerrnan spoke at a local teachers' meeting in Oregon City last Saturday. Miss Todd attended the ceremonies incident to the dodication of the new women's building on the campus at Kugene last week-end. Invitation have been received an nouncing the marriage of Miss Mabel C. Marr to Jay Clark at Joseph, Ore gon. Miss Marr was a student at O. N. S. last year. Miss Urenton went to Portland last Saturday to select the trophy for the May day contests. She re turned with a most beautiful vase, a worthy trophy for the class which wins the majority of points on Sat urday, May 14. Contracts have been signed with Independence, Mountain View and Elkins authorizing the Normal to conduct their schools as practice centers for the next two years. In the recent selection of teachers for the Portland schools for next year about fifty percent of those chosen are graduates of the Normal. Thin is a most gratifying fact, es pecially as it has occurred three times now. Miss Records spoke at a local teachers' meeting at Yamhill last Saturday and Miss Arbythnot at Salem on the same day. Miss Laura Hoiliday gave an in structive chapel talk Wednesday morning, illustrating it by children's rote songs. The baseball team representing the Normal played with the Pacific uni versity team at Forest Grove last Saturday. The game resulted in a scoro of HI to G against the Normal. They hope to reverse this score or even better it on Mfly day when they play ngnin't Albany college here in Monmouth. on a railroad train, going nl- by wagon, on foot, on horse- 1 or by steamer." fM man huys henkle I UNDERTAKING BUSINESS Jhur L.

BROCCOLI CROP BIG NEXT YEAR Large Increase in Acreage Assured for Inde pendence District The district around Independence will treble its broccoli acreage, ac cording to reports from the Oregon Growers' Cooperative association, which h furnishing seed for its mem bers in thin district. While in the Salem district many 're ;g'ng into the industry with an ere or two, Independence growers, satisfied by the returns lust season that this district is suitable for broc coli, arc gointf into it a little stronger. Hugh IJanmi v. ill put in 25 acres of broccoli. James Collins is also satisfied that broccoli growing is a good proposition, as he also will plant 25 acres and like other mem bers of the Oregon Growers' Coopera tive association, already has the seed. G. W. Wattenbarger will put in 20 acres on the Dr. Ketchum ranch. Last season he packed the crop of Sloper Bros., and is familiar with broccoli planting and handling. H. B. Fletcher will put in 12 acres on his ranch on the east side of the river, while Leslie Young will go into the broccoli gamo with one acre. B. F. Merrill will plant five acres of broccoli and Henry Young five acres. George McLaughlin is another farmer who has confidence enough in broc coli to put in five acres. x M;r. O'Rourke will have two acres, Wells Bros, of Bucna Vista, five acres, and Sloper Bros, the first ex tensive growers in this field, will have about 25 acres the coming Sea- n. The broccoli acreage of members of the Oregon Growers' Cooperative association in what may be termed the Independence district, is 115 and this may possibly be increased seve rs! acres before planting time is - m over. This makes Indepenhence one of the largest broccoli growing sec tions in the state, as after eight years, Roseburg had only 160 acres. But Roseburg is going into the industry with an acreage much larg er than last year, estimated by some at 250. Without including the acreage in the immediate Salem ditsric, the association now is assured of market ing the crop of broccoli from more than 500 acres. Other districts that are going into broccoli through the association are ss follows with acreage: Amity district, 'New1urg"6: Rickreall district, 35; Sheridan, 42 and Che mawa district 20. During the past season the associa tion sold through its organized sales Agencies in the east 27,514 crates, developing 38 markets.

The infantry, engineers ana Held artillery, probably 'will go to Camp Lewis. "All members will, receive their railroad fare, living expenses and their full grade pay. In addition to this they will be given fifty cents a day by the state. "All emDloyers are being; asicea io cooperate in making the annual camp a tremendous success. A letter is being sent to every employer of a national guardsman inviting his at tention to the patriotic work being don hv men in the national guard service and showing the necessity of camp attendance. "The dates June 15-29 were selected after asking all companies to state preference of dates- Practically all stated a preference for the June camp. "The National Guard is really a partnership ajmy for the national defense. "Under this system the states fur nish patriotic- young men who are of the kind that want to be ready to defend their country in case it is attacked again, as it was attacked in 1917. The government in turn fur nishes the uniforms, rifles, cannon and other supplies and pays for ar mory drills and field camps. "The National Guard was first on the firing line, along with the regular army in 1917, even as it would be first to go tehould our shores again be threatened. Without the nucleus of men with some training from the national guard and regular army the country would be defenseless if at tacked and would suffer frightful losses if successfully invaded while a volunteer or draft army was being formed and trained from the civil populace. - - - "Therefore the man in the National Guard can be set down with the high est type of American citizenship. He is nprformincr invaluable service to hl fetr.e and nation. If war should ever be forced upon DEATH OF ARNOLD HILL DUE TO SPINAL MENINGITIS MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED HERE G. A.
