The case OF Attorney General
Daugherty is not like that of Mel

been the grand master of patron
age since March last, and the de-

tremendous. Aspirants for every

man to ambassador-haye had TO,

not been taken care of 1t has led
to some hard feelings in many
quarters.
Personal reasons also are said to
figure largely in the attorney gem
erals reported desire to retire
from his post. His own health is
none too good, and Mrs. Daugherty
is an invalid. necessitating his

To Try
New Line-Up
On Chemawa

Oregon Agricultural College
Corvallis, Sept. 29.-Despite the
6S to victory of the Aggies over
the freshman squad Saturday, the
varsity will not be as strong as
prophesied.
Andy Crowell, last years tackle,
who made the drop kick which
won the game against Washington
and Husky Campbell, considered
one of the best tackles in the con-
ference, will not return.
The lineup for Saturdays game
against Chemawa was not an
nounced, but Coach Rutherford
probably will start Bob Stewart at
center. Joe Kasberger, Charles
johnson, Red Hagerdorn and
Hughie McKenna all may be used
at quarter. Captain Powell will
handle the fullback position.
Clay Miller. former Long Beach
star and Stanley Summers, prob
ably will start the game at half
back.
To strengthen the line 1t has
been necessary for Rutherford to
switch several backfield men
Locey and Harold McKenna, full
backs, are now working as tackles.
Simon and l.. G. Johnson also are
developing into good tackles and
may be used part OF the game. Nc
Fadden, varsity end, and Lough-
rey, last year freshman end, are
holding down the varsity berths.

Sec. Treas. and Atty
Gen. Plan to Resign

Washington, Sept. 20. - The
first six months OF the Harding
administration having gone by
without the occurrence OF any
thing startling. The tea table and
cloak room gossips of the national
capital are predicting some radical
changes in the make up Of official
Washington for the next six.
It is the gossip OF Washington
that before the new administration
celebrates its first anniversary,
there will be at least two. maybe
three and possibly more, cabinet
changes. The rumors have re-

Two May Resign.
The names chiefly conceded in
these rumored changes are Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon and Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty.
According to the stories that
circulate among the tea tables of
Washington, Secretary Mellon has
tired OF public life after his brief
first taste Of 1t. and is desirous OF
getting back to the placid seren-
Ity OF directing score Of big cor
porations and banks with which
he Is connected.
This Is Secretary Melons first
taste OF public life and political
contact and ii is admitted by his
fellow intimates that he has found
1t little to his liking. Being nat
urally of shy and retiring dispo-
sition, the secretary of the treas
ury IS said to have formed a pro-
nounced dislike to the rough give
and-take OF Washington political
life, and It would not surprise his !,
intimates should he embrace the
first opportunity to get back into |
private life.
Mellon Disheartened. ,,
Secretary Mellon has found
rough shedding in Washington
with his tax program, and this is
said to have increased his dislike
for his job. One of his first Off
ciai acts was the presentation TO
congress of an estimate of how

has run thru record number of is

thru translations into the languages of
many foreign countries.
Riley was born in Greenfield. Indi-

Requiescat in Pace.

At noon September Is, accompan.
led from st. Louis by his brothers,
Dudley and Robert, the flag draped
coffin of Russell Riggs reached his
old home at Ironton. Members of
the American Legion, all of whom
were his old comrades and friends,
came to the station as a guard with
rifles and colors to bear through the
streets of Ironton on black draped
automobile truck their soldier friend
who fell over there. They carried the
coffin into the room where nearly
four years ago he had kissed his par
ents goodbye for the last time, and
started out as a young volunteer Of
eighteen, to do his part in freeing the
world of oppression. As they rested
the coffin and looked up at his life
sized portrait smiling down upon
them, each man lifted his cap in sill
ent tribute.
On September 16, along with many
other friends, the representatives OF
two st. Louis Legion posts arrived,
bringing with them their colors, to help
in the funeral ceremonies, which were
held in the Court House yard at Iron
ton. The speakers and choir occupied
the flower covered pavilion, which
stands in the beautiful grove of hard
naples. At 8 O'Clock the services be-
gan led by Rev. George w. Graham,
who was chaplain at Camp Funston
during the war. Mr.. Graham read
the Scripture, Rev. A. s. Baldridge
led in prayer, the choir rendered
sweet music, and DR.. John F. Herget,
pastor of the Ninth Street Baptist
Church in Cincinnati, delivered a
patriotic address. DIR. Herget was
senior chaplain of the 97th Division,
with title of Captain, and saw service
at the front in the Argonne and in
Belgium. He wore on his breast the
Belgian Croix Deguerre. At the foot
of the pavilion steps rested the flag
covered coffin, with the beautiful ma
tional colors and legion colors mass
ed at head and foot, with soldier on
guard at attention at head and foot
constantly from 1 until P. NJ. DR..
Herget only spoke few words of the
deceased, but he read some para
graphs from his comrades and officers
over there, telling that he was always
faithful and loyal soldier, believing
in his cause and fighting gladly for
it. The rest of his discourse was full
of lofty aims and high ideals, told in
a manner to grip that immense
audience. We are sure it will do
good. Service men from all over Iron
and adjoining counties were present.
The mayor Of the city had given those
in charge of the parade the rights Of
Main street from the court house to
the depot, which is nearly q mile,
and all the business houses had clos
ed by common consent. The two
marshalls on horseback led the way,
then followed the mnsic, the three
sets of colors with bearersand guards,
and firing squad. Occupying space
to themselves the two uniformed
chaplains marched together, followed
by truck with body. The pail bearers,
consisting of old chums of Russell,
two from Marines, two from Navy
and two from Army. walked beside
the bier. His father, mother and
three brothers followed in machine.
A long line Of uniformed service men
in formation followed, and sixteen
lladies belonging to the Auxiliary Of

end of the procession. The walk on

Arcadia College Notes.

One of the principal accomplish
ments of the young lady of this modern
world is proficiency in the art of
music. Unhappily, the natural gift
that many posses is distorted, twisted
and stunted by the overdevelopment
of the profane in music, to the neglect
of the classical. Whether or not the
present age would be satisfied if "rag-
time" and "jazz" were eliminated and
whether the minds of the youth can
be made to appreciate the real music
of the masters, may not be an easy
matter to answer. But it is certain
that any school of music that is
worthy of the name, must seek on
every occasion, in the studio and on
the stage, in private or before the
public, to develop in the student a
taste for-the music that has won on
its merits the commentator of the
musicians of the present and of the
past.
The Arcadia College Conservatory
has, during the many years of its ex-
istence, always aimed at bringing be-
fore it's members only refined and
dignified music. The Musical Depart
ment is under the direction of
thoroughly competent teachers. A
visiting Musical Advisor in the per-
son of Mr.. William Mentor Crosse
comes to Arcadia at regular intervals
during the year and gives personal
attention to the progress of each
pupil. Professor Crosse is master
pianist, an editor of music and a COM
poser of national reputation. The
advantages enjoyed by pupils under
such exceptional conditions, must un-
hesitatingly be acknowledged.
The courses of music are complete.
The great majority of those who
register in the Arcadia Conservatory
devote their time to a piano course.
The College possesses upward of
twenty bright and cheerful piano
studios, furnished with high grade in
struments. There are also courses in
organ, violin, mandolin and guitar.
The vocal classes, private and gen.
eral, have been organized and give
promise of many a rare treat during
the months to come.
The first Recital of the season was
given on Sunday evening, September
25th, in commemoration of the forty
fourth anniversary of the coming of
the Ursulines to Arcadia. This recital
was given by Miss Hiawatha Boyer of
Pennington, Mo-, and Miss Otie Linn
of st. Louis. These young ladies were
assisted by Miss Deronda Mcclure,
who sang several very pleasing num-
bers. The young ladies showed taste
and talent in the various selections.
The recital was private, the faculty
and student body alone being present.
The program was as follows:
Opening Ensemble, two pianos, two
performers.
Piano Solos, Serenade, Miss Linn.
Allegro, Miss Boyer.
Air Vaire, Miss Linn.
Voice, Rose in The Bud, Miss Mcclure.
Piano Solos, Mazurka, Miss Linn.
Elegie, Miss Boyer.
Rondo, Miss Linn.
Voice, The Rosary, Miss Mcclure.
Piano Solos, Miss Boyer.
Closing Ensemble, Country Dance,
two pianos, two performers.
The Conservatory promises other
recitals during the present season and
hopes thereby to awaken in its mem
bers the ambition to become success
full musicians, and in its audiences a
deeper love and apprecia ton for the
art of music.

atory is "giye more time to REAL
