We felt sure that, with the eood siPd Wi capacity of Ye Liberty, we would be able to slat comf ortably and qukS? every person who applied for a ticket, but there is a limit to Lr?ihing-..we were literally swamped during the evening performance everyming "we Judge us not too harshly. fa?lVer' Ur r?gfc Is mPered !y a degree of pride in being able to of fer such a remarkable feature at theregular prices. You can assist us materially by attending the matinee performance. Matinee shows at 2 and 4 p. m.. Evening at 7 and 9 YE LIBERTY THEATRE What's In a name? Last evening "Hell Morgan's Girl" at Ye Liberty theatre drew a big house and the chances are good for another capacity tonight. The show is ft good one and worth double the price of admission. Yet if the author had called it "John Morgan's Oirl" possibly it would not have drawn the crowd even v. ith the fame film. o "Why Vaccination is Taboo, in the Public Library," illustrated with lan tern slides, will be the subject of an ad dress by Mrs. Lora C. Little at W. C. T. U. hall Thursday evening at S o'clock. Admission free. Mrs. Little is a lec turer for the national committee on medical freedom education and is mak ing a coast' to coast speaking tour of the country.

J he truth is, that in the recent member ship campaign wherein it was the wo men versus the men, the lords of crea tion lost nnd at the meeting Thursday evening, May 10, thev will be called upon to furnish a first class dinner to the women who werq the better bustlers in securing new members. : o A circular letter is being sent out to all alumni of the Oregon Agricultural college by Percy A. Cupper, acting president of the association, and K. B Lemon, alumni secretary, asking that each alumnus see that his neighbor plant every foot of available ground. Also he is to see that he himself is not bo busy that he forgets to till his otn lot and raise all the vegetables he can. The alumni are encouraged to encourage the home guards, to drill raw recruits or would-be haw recruits, and also to drill himself. Tho appeal is made to marshal the resources of the nation for the task of prosecuting the war. This Is a hard luck story. Just as the young man who is making about $85 a month is beginning to think of making a happy home 'for two, along comes the government with a proposed tax on in comes in excess of $1,000 ft year. And if the prospective better half goes on a visit, it will cost about 50 per cent more than in the past to write her a letter as one of the means of raising money for the war will probably be that of in creasing letter postage per ounce to three cents and even a common postal card will cost two cents. o On account of the small attendance of tho business men last night at the meeting called of the members o'f the Business Men's league for the election of a director for the coming year, the meeting was postponed until Thursday n seems that most of the members of this department were more interested in seeing Hell Morgan's Girl at Ye Liberty theatre than in talking business. However, it is hoped that the tired business man will be entirely rest ed by Thursday evening and that at least a representative number will at tend the annual election of officers. , Th,e following two sales are reported by W H.
