DO AS RANGER IF ON
RANGE, WILL ADVISES.
It’s been a long time since Will
Rogers used to spin a lariat as one
of the principals of the Ziegfeld Fol­
lies in the old days of glorifying the
American girl, but he has never dis­
guised the closeness of his associa­
tion with the livestock business. As
a small-town attorney In “The Coun­
ty Chairman” he goes right out on
the range and eats barbecue with
the hands.
He talks cattle, too, to the cattle­
men. But when he crosses into the
sheep country, where even to men­
tion cattle makes sheep men see red,
he is the soul of discretion. One
would think he was born among the
flocks and had been weaned on mut­
ton, such a bld he makes for the
votes of the good shepherds.

OLD-FASHIONED
BASKET SOCIAL
BENEFIT PLANNED
1.4. ‘
LEGION SPONSORS AFFAIR FOR
THURSDAY. MARCH 21.
Rare Talent Secured to Appear On
Program: No Admission
Charged.
A good old-fashioned basket social
and community get-together will bo
held in the Hermiston Auditorium
Thursday. March 21, for the purpose
of supporting the financial program
of the Boy Scout movement in this
district. The affair will start at 8:00
P. M., with a short program followed
by the basket auction sale. After
the basket» are sold and supper
served, dancing will be enjoyed by
those who care to dance.
No admission will be charged, but
women and girls are expected to
bring baskets well filled with deli-
cacies.
Each basket should be a
complete lunch for two and the man
buying the basket will be the sup-
per partner of the lady bringing the
basket. Younger girls may bring
baskets, too, the committee pointed
out and these will be auctioned sep­
arately to young swains, at a lower
price.
A program has been arranged
which will be a real attraction In
Itself. Hal Hatton, high school
coach, has consented to make hie
first public appearance here In a
tap dance number; the Follett broth­
ers (no program would be complete
without them) will sing and play;
Velma Amsberry, 9-year-old acrobat,
will do her stuff; a group of Boy
Scouts will present a stunt— and
there may be more, it has been an­
nounced by those in charge.
Oscar Payne, preacher, master of
ceremonies, and Scoutmaster, will of­
ficiate at the selling and it is poin­
ted out that seeing him in the role
of auctioneer may in itself be an at­
traction worthy of note.
H. A. Pankow will have charge of
making the coffee but It Is assured
that his close connection with tho
distribution of water in Hermiston
will have no influence over the cof­
fee.
The committee has asked that
those bringing baskets will include
two cups and spoons in their baskets,
as well as their names, since coffee,
cream and sugar will bo served free
of charge. No identification marks
should be on outside of the basket.
Music for dancing will be fur-
nished by Mel's Merrymaker», a
group of local musicians. Every­
thing for the big occasion is dona-
tad, and every cent derived from the
sale of the baskets will go directly
to the local Boy Scout fund.

"The Boy Scouts, one of the finest
boys’ organizations In the world, has .
been neglected here during the years
of depression and as a consequence
are badly in debt and in need of im­
mediate funds. The American Le-
gion believes in Scouting and the
great work it does for our boys.
"A scout committee recently at­
tempted to raise this money by popu­
lar subscription but found it next
to impossible to do so. Accordingly
the Legionnaires decided upon what
they believe will be the biggest af­
fair of the season in Hermiston to
help put the scouts on the financial
basis their organization deserves.
"Everything for this program has
been donated and every cent will go
to the Hermiston Boy Scout Troop.
"This Is your opportunity to help
the Scouts and at the same time en­
joy an evening of real entertainment
and fun. We urge you to attend.”
