However this doesn't prejudice you .igainst the entertain ment. The highbrows have no monopo ly on Shakespeare, and "A Midsum mer Night's Dream" isn't a highbrow play. Everyone these days is presumed to know Shekespeire. Outside the liible, his plays are the most important and useful literature we have. But listen, Vou don't have to be a literary shark, or anything like that in order thorough ly to enjoy a Shakespeare play. As a matter of fact the ordiniry theatre goer will get more amusement out of a Shakespeare comedy than a college English professor will; because the Eng lish professor (that is, the general run of him) looks at Shakespeare from an aeademie angle, ind forgets entirely the fact that Shekespeare was a flesh and blood playwright who made a ser ious business, of making flesh-and-blood andiences laugh. English professors don't laugh. They smile sometimes, but they don't really laugh and "A Mid summer Night's Dream" was written to be laughed with. Shakespeare was an actor himself, and he understood exactly how to con struct a play to make it "go over" to any ordinary, everyday audience. In other words, he wrote his pliys for the stage; not for the literary dissecting roon. The fact that Shakespeare was a literary genius, aud tiut he clothed his dramatic ideas in the greatest liter ature of all time, does not detract l whit from the activity of his plays. Outside their literary merit, and after 300 years of performances, the plays of Shakespeare stand alone on their ability to entertain, and on th.it score alone they will stack up high ubovc any and all the modern plays. Don't be afraid of Shakespeare. If you have hitherto entertained the idea th.it he was ponderous, or obsolete, or hard to understand, come around to the Grand next Saturday afternoon or even ing and hear "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and you will discover that George Cohan or George Ado has noth ing on Hill Shakespeare in the matter of nuking you Inugh. Improvements Added to Methodist Pipe Organ The pipe organ in the First Methodist church is undergoing several improve ments and additions that will add ma terially to its power and brilli.incy. Two new couplers have been added to the swell organ" ami also a sott pedal base stop, the Lieblich Gcdickt. The swell organ, formerly with 61 notes, will now have TA, and an extra octave has been added to four stops, the open diapason, harmonic flute, stop ped diapason and salicionnl. The volume of the organ as well as the opportunities for brilliant combi nations have been greatly increased by the Addition of the swell unison stop, the swell super octave coupler and the swell sub octave coupler. The motor has also been removed from the underneath lower floor to an upper floor. These additions to the or gan will not be noticeable in any way in the npepaiance of the organ lis the front pipes will remain as heretofore. The work is being douo by L. M. (.'lark of Seattle, who has been in the organ business for tiie pAst 20 years ou the coast, having repaired an organ that was in the church 'M years ago.

News From Monmouth State Normal School During the last "week the normal school received several visits from the alumni who are home for Knitter vaca tion from their schools throughout the sttite. Among the visitors are: Mr. W. IF. Morton, Mi's Anna Wood, mm -i.Jj Not Rub limes as Umg at Others, Get a Can To jay Motion For Directed Verdict Overruled (Continued From Page One.) W. Al Jones, the former secretary of the state fair board, was the first wit ness called for the state. - llr. Jones es tablished a few formal facts aud went into the description of the tickets used and the methods of handling them at length. Finally his testimony lend up to Saturday, October 2, 1915, upon which date Simpkius whs arrested and this led up to the alleged confession that Turner was said to have made to James Boss and to Mr. Jones. At this time Attorney John A. Carson, for the detensc,moved that the jury be taken from the courtroom and not allowed to hear the testimony relatively to the con fession as he intended to make a motion to have the testimony excluded from the trial. The court ruled that the jury should be taken from the court room and then Jones continued his testimony relative to the night of the arrest of Simpkins and the bringing of Turner to the po lice station. Jones Tells of Arrest. Mr. Jones reluted at length how he took two fair grounds officers, Ross and Roller in his machine and then picked tip Officer Percy M. Varney of the Salem police force and went to the residence of Frank A. Turner, the father of Rex Turner. Jr. Ross rang the door bell and was admitted to Rex Turner's room. Bex Turner then ac companied the officers to the police station where after a short controversy Ross stated on the stand that he told Turner the best thing was to "tell the truth" and related how they had se cured a written confession from .simp kins. Mr. Jones then said: "I went into the little office hi the east wing of the city hall where I saw Turner and I said 'well Rex, what did you do it for' and Itex answered 'I guess I needed the money.' "He then told mo that he would give me a check for the total amount of the shortage if I would only name the sum. "I told him I could not do this as it was not up to me to settle it as it was the state's money. Turner said I could either accept tho money to make up the snortagc or scnu nun over the road and that it was up to me to decide, and be again offered to write mo out a check u I would state what the amount was." Mr. Ross was next culled to the stand and told of his connection with the af fair and the defense nn cross examina tion asked particularly about whether or not the impression was left with Turner that he was under arrest. Boss said he did not think Turner knew he was connected with the fairground po lice but that he told Turner to "come along that they wanted him." Mr. Keller was then called to the stand nnd told practically tho snme story as had been told by Mr. Koss. Turner Takes Stand. Rex Turner, the defendant then took tho stand in his own behalf and said that Ross cursed him and walked up and down in the office. He said Ross told hiin that ho had brought disgrace upon his family and that he had better tell the truth as Simpkins had confess ed. He said he was almost convinced that they intended to take him to The penitentiary without delay. On cross examination District Attorney Ringo asked Turner if, as an attorney, he did not know that a man always had a trial before he was sent to the pen and Tur ner replied that he was so badly fright ened that he did not think of his right.;. Following this testimony it was ruled t by Judge Kelly that the confession al leged to have been made by Turner could not be introduced as evidence and that all evidence relative to the alleged confession should m excluded. The jury was then recalled to the courtroom and Jones continued his testimony rela tive to the book keeping of the fair. The following is the complete jury: G. W. Lucas, Salem; Charles Hinz, Ejiglewood; George Jliggins, Croisnn; John Boyce, Sulem; Jonas M. Mills, Aurora; Fruuk ilnpes, Salem; George Keech, Stavton; S.
