The part of Norbury, the English

THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY"
To TAKE PLACE TONIGHT
Eighth Annual Web. Play to be Presented
February 2S---Best Talent in College In
sures Success of Three-ACt Comedy

The long discussed Marriage OF
Kitty" will take place in the Col
lege Auditorium Friday evening, Feb
ruary %, when the Websterian De
batting Society will present Its
Eighth Annual Play.
THE Marriage of Kitty" is a
three-act comedy by Cosmo Gordon
Lennox. 1t is full of amusing situa-
tions, and from the time that Kitty
appears attired as a simple, awk-
ward, untaught, country girl until
the curtain falls with the Peruvian
widow in the center of the stage in
her tn fit, the audience will be
overcome with laughter. The mer-
riment will not be continuous, for
there are times when the situation
will be tenser-when the audience
will almost hold its breath, await
ing the final word-the ultimate
outcome.
The Marriage of Kitty is not
what is commonly termed a light or
a frivolous play. On the contrary it
affords the greatest opportunity for
dramatic acting and rare chances for
character representation.
The Marriage of Kitty" is, how
ever. not a heavy play in the sense
that it is solemn and serious. 1t is
a genuine comedy, yet one which de-
mands real dramatic ability on the
part of the players
The cast is composed of the best
talent in college Peggy" Windus,
who has taken part in more plays
than anyone else in college, and
whose appearance alone has become
sufficient guarantee of a success

Madame de Semiano, the Peruvian
widow. She has lately thrown
over the wealthy Captain Churchill
for Ned Belmont, who is said to be
millionaire.
Miss Zelya Mecklem, who has APP
peared before in plays at w. S. O.,
will be Kitty" Friday evening. Her
work is polished and finished in its
effect, and so completely does she
fill her character that she is always
Katherine Silverton.
The part of Ned Belmont is taken
by Lawrence Whorley. He is deeply
and insanely in love with Madame de
Semiano, but by the time they have
travelled over Europe together for a
year, he has changed his mind some
what. Her fits IF Mysteries get on
his nerves. He so,p tires of min

matte individual. When he arrives
at home to arrange for the divorce,
he sees his wife as a beautiful and

Wednesday Afternoon Club.

The Wednesday Afternoon Club
was delightfully."- entertained last
week at the home of Mrs. R. P. Neil.
The hostess was assisted by Mrs. R,
M. Hedges and Mrs. Frank Jordan.
After the business session the after
Loon was spent in visiting and nee
dlework. Mr.. Morris Duryea of Eu-
gene was present and gave an inter-
esting talk on higher education in
Oregon. A musical program of un-
usual merit was enjoyed by the forty
guests. Mrs. C. B. Wolf gave two
selections in her usual happy voice.
Mrs. Conway and Miss Doris Bagley,
two of Ashland's best soloists, de-
lighted all with their solos and had
to give encores. Mrs. Cunningham
accompanied the three ladies. Dr.
j. E. Bonner gave two numbers on
the violin, accompanied by Mrs.
Drake, which will be long remem-
bered.
Dainty refreshments of ice cream
aid cakes were served in a charming
manner. Each guest was served with
small brown Towering pot, holding
pansy planted in chocolate, but in
short time the spoon found the ice
cream hidden beneath. The. phono-
Graph gave only Pansy Blossom, -
which added much pleasure to the
charm. The dainty flower pots were
given as souvenirs for one of the
happiest afternoons the Wednesday
Cub has ever spent.
Three new members were received

What Makes Meat Dear.

Leslie's: 1t will be a surprise to
many to know that our imports of
cattle now exceed exports. In 1904
we imported but 10000 cattle, val
ued at 100000. In 1912 imports
had grown to over $5,000,000. Ex-
ports of meat, particularly of fresh
beef, have fallen off even more than
exports of cattle. Last year there
were sent out of the country only
100000 pounds OF fresh beef, as
against 354 100000 pounds in 1901.
The total value of meat and dairy
products exported last year approxi-
mated $145, 100000, as against
$209, 100000 in 1896.
Once boasting that we might al
most feed the world, these figures
show that we are barely able to feed
ourselves. Unless production is in
creased we shall soon be calling on
the rest of the world for more food
stuffs than we can give in return
II is not surprising under these con-
ditions that meat is higher than II
used to be and that the cost of living
has advanced

Why Memoirs Are Tame.

Professor Barrett Wendell, at a
Harvard tea, was asked why books
of recollection were always so tame.
Professor Wendell answered:
Let me tell you story. A great
man once said to friend:
"T think I'll write my recollec-
tions.
Very good said the friend, but
let me caution you not to recollect
anything about celebrities that are
living
oh said the great man, living
celebrities are just the ones l want
to write about. They're the ones that
will make any book SELL
Very WE'LL said the other, but
remember my warming
why, what's the danger, any
way?'
"'The danger replied the other,
is that as soon as you begin to rec
ollect things about living celebrities
they will begin to recollect things
about you

ing at the Baptist church was a sue

school room was artistically deco
rated with ivy vines and lilac bios.

with beautiful rugs.
The program was splendid through
out. The work of the church orches.
ira, led by Mr.. Pedersen, the popular
violinist, is worthy of special men,
ton. They favored the gathering
with several numbers, every one of
which showed that real artists were
at the instruments
Mr.. Carson gave the address of
welcome in behalf of the church and
handled his subject well. Rev.
Poor's address in behalf of the Min
isterial Association was very helpful.
He brought out very clearly the fact
that one church cannot be a power
for good and cannot reap great
ingathering of souls without it's in
fluence reaching into the other
churches of the city.
The response of Rev. MacCullough
hno rff fo1f 4 l.,
gave credit to his members for what
work has already been accomplished.
His ministry to date, of six weeks,
has resulted in the connecting of the
church building with the sewer the
organization of a choir, the securing
of the orchestra, led by Mr.. Peder-
sen, the purchasing of a printing
press from the Tidings, with which
the church prints its own weekly bull
letin, and many other things in the
field of personal work and Christian
helpfulness.
DR.. MacCullough, the pastors
father, who takes up his work at
Medford Sunday, followed the re-
sponse of the pastor. He exorted
the people to have great vision, and
that with such vision, with the help
of the Heavenly Father, the future of
the Ashland people would be very
fruitful.

Mothers Day i'm Ashland.

Mothers Day was fittingly OBJ
served in several of the Ashland
churches.
The Presbyterian church was pro-
fusely adorned with white blossoms,
the white carnation in evidence.
Rev. Browning of the Christian
church preached tender and beauti-
ful sermon touching on mother love
and its results. Garfield, Mckinley
and Lincoln were given as fitting ex-
amples of how our own nation had
been blessed by the labors of three
mothers who with constancy and de.
votion amidst hardships trained the
boys who became in time the great
est men of the century.
The service at the Methods
church also had the same theme
what the world owes to the rea
mothers, the kind who believe il
line upon line. and precept upon pre-

How are Red Cross funds spent?
Spontaneous contributions, through
a variety of channels, are used suffi-
cient for immediate needs, and the
Red Cross followed it's customary pol
icy of reserving as much of it's funds
as possible for permanent rehabilita-
tion.
In the flood and tornado stricken
regions the Red Cross has given
splendid evidence of the effectiveness
o. its scheme of organization and of
its methods as worked out on the
basis of experience at San Francisco
and as tested by the Minnesota and
Michigan forest fires, the Cherry

floods of last year.

school superintendent or your teach
er, as the rules and regulations con-
tanned in the bulletin will be used as
far as they are applicable for the
work. This little pamphlet contains
many suggestions that will be help
full to those preparing exhibits.

cal fair, and just as soon as the COM
mittee has been able to collect suf-
ficient funds, complete prize list
