Going to Washington.

The next annual session of the Ma
tional Grange is to be held at Spokane,
Wash. in November, 1912, and already
patrons from all parts of the country
are making their plans to attend that
session. The decision to go there il
the outcome of spirited contest be-
tween Spokane, Boise City. Idaho; San
Francisco CAL; Omaha, Neb., and
Buffalo, N. Y, all Of which cities were
very anxious to secure the next Ma
ticnal Grange session.
In the Spokane instance, all the
business and commercial organizations
of the city, and throughout the state
of Washington in general, gave vigor-
Gus assistance to the Washington
State Grange in its effort to land the
1912 session of the National Grange at
Spokane. State Master G. b. Kegley
had letters and kilograms by the hun.
dred from all parts of his state and
when the vote was taken, Spokane was
the winner by wide margin.
II is expected that exceptionally ia
vorable railroad rates will be made TO
Spokane. with liberal extension and
stop-over privileges; so that not only
will a large number of grange men,
bers be induced TO take the trip, but
many other people as well. because of
the advantages offered for a sght-see-
Ing trip to the Pacific coast.

One OF the finest grange halls in
New England was recently dedicated

capacity Of the main hall is 425 per
sons, while heating, lighting. ventila-
ton and acoustic properties are all or
the best.
The total cost was about $4,000. but
an arrangement has been brought
about whereby the grange is able to
finance the proposition in good shape
and the outlook for speedily wiping
out all debt is very bright. The new
hall is handsomely furnished through.

Department
COLLEGE CHAPEL FRIDAY MIGHT
-'' TyF'zs-s zssssiE. n - y.
The Clever Acting Made Great Hi win
the Audience

An event full OF interest and uni
que in every respect was the German
comedy Der Bibliotekar,' given by
the department in the chapel last
Friday evening. This is very pop
ular German farce and required a
tremendous amout Of work in prepa-
ration, and the greatest amount OF
credit is due the department for the
excellent manner in Which the under
taking was handled.
The work of preparation was begun
last October. The freeness OF speech,
accurateness OF pronunciation, and
naturalness of action plainly reveal
ed the factNthat there must have been
a persistent grind ever since it start
ed
The costumes, all the way from
John in his "full dress to the hunt
ers in their scarlet Jackets, and from
Sarah" in her queenly robe to
"Frau Dixon" in her plain servant
dress, were appropriate and elabor-
ate, adding much to the fun furnish
ed by the players.
Miss Mullenbach, head of the de-
partment, is to be congratulated and
deserves greatest praise for the ex-
cellent training that was displayed in
the work of every actor. Every
thing was in readiness, and there was
nothing lacking, even to the misutest
detail that could have added i'll any
way to the success of the event.
This is an innovation in the his
tory OF the college, as heretofore the
German plays were lighter and given
in Wright Hall.
Just a word about the players. w.
A. Vogt, the leading character had a
very heavy part and carried it in an
excellent manner. c. r. Goodrich,
was exceptionally natural, and showed
all the traits of real actor, while
Simenton also WIS calm, natural
and unruffled English butler. Kobe
was a natural "Dutchman" and could
spiel the German by the yard. Ro-
bert Cook with only three semesters
work in this department, had prom
inent part and carried it with skill.
The Misses Nelson and Hovey act
in; the part OF society maidens, pro-
we'd themselves very much at home
in all their actions and won many
suitors. Miss Bitner made typical
