Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
va'.lie. May 17. Eva Wilcox of Lex
ington tin teen awarded a $100 achol-
arahip in a full term of home .econ
mici at the college by the Union Pa
cific Railway aystem for being the
highest ranking club member in Mor
row county. Misa Wilcox has the
distinction of being the only girl in
the state to win a scholarship, tht
other eleven awarded going to boys.
Miss Wilcox hai been an active club
member for the past seven years,
havina- taken up wheat, calf, sewing.
and poultry club work. She was first
priie winner at the Morrow and State
fairs on her wheat project and on
that won her acholarship. She i a
graduate from high school and will
nter O. A. C. next year.
The Union Pacific system offers
these scholarships in all counties of
the state touched by its lines. The
v,i nnon which the winner is select
ed is 75 per cent on rank in club work
and 25 per cent on character, interest
nt nnalitiea of leadership. The
awards are based on the project cov
ered by the regularly organised club
work of the extension service of the
college in corn, wheat, potato, sheep,
poultry, pig, dairy and baby beef, and
bee keeping.
The story following is from a let
ter received from M.ss Wilcox by H.
C. Seymour, state club leader.
"I took my first club work when I
was 12 years old, beginning with the
nnnltrv nroiect. I did not under
stand it and when school closed I lost
interest and did not complete my
work. The next year I took garden
ing and was more successful. I then
began to understand and like club
work so that I took sewing and calf
club work the next year. I have tak
en many other projects since then,
last year taking the wheat project,
i believe I like it best of all.
"I received second priie on my
sewing and first on my wheat at the
counyt fair last year. I also received
first prize on my wheat at the state
fair that year. This will be my last
year in club work as I have finished
nigh school and will go to 0. A. C.
next jear."
SCREEN VERSION OF FAMOUS
STAGE HIT TO BE HERE SOON
The widely heralded Metro-Goldwyn
Maver nicture "The Merry Widow
is coming to the Star theater on next
Sundav and Monday. It presents one
of the most significant combinations
effected for the screen. It unfolds
a picturesque romance of a gallant
prince and a popular American dancer
in a small continental xingaom, uuu
in the hands of Erich von Stroheim,
ideally suited to stage such a thing,
the production is said to fulfill all
which was expected ol it. me una
role, entrusted to Mae Murray, fur
nishes this niauant actress with the
bst role of her career, and gives her
full oDDortunity to display the charm
vivacitv and talent for which she is
sc justly famous. John Gilbert who
co-stars in this picture with Miss
Murray eives a performance that
brings him still further to the front
tt a popular idol. Von Stroheim has
a recognized genius for selecting
tvnes that are remarkably fine actors
and then inspires them to do the best
work of their careers. The result is
tht each character stands out like
iare intaelio. The cast includes such
favorites as Roy D'Arcy, Tully Mar-
nhall. George Fawcett, Dale Fuller,
Josephine Crowell, Estelle Clark, Don
tyan, Hughie Mack, Edward onneny.
George Nichols and un ron.

1 throughout all the land,
unto ill the inhabitant: thereof
this was the legend inscribed
on what was later to be known a
the Liberty Bell, when it was
recast in Philadelphia in 1753-
Twenty-three years later this
prophetic admonition was car
ried out when the now historic
bell heralded the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence.
A century after this assertion
of American liberty, Alexander
Graham Bell gave to America
and to the world, in the 'ele
phonc, an instrumentality of i
new form of freedom. Limita
tions which had confined the
scope of the spoken word were
swept away. Doors of isolation
were thrown open. In his con
tacts with his fellows, man had
achieved a new independence.
For fifty years this emancipa
tion of speech has undergone an
unceasing evolution into a larger
and ever larger liberty. Year by
year man's voice has reached
out over greater and greater dis
tances until today it speeds
from coast to coast, borne on
the wires of a natiorv-widc tele
phone system.
