Tncbel Vol Lindsay, the celebrated
American poet, and as a result % %
this the League, cooperating WIT
prof Pannunzio of Willamette
University, will bring to the cap

widespread interest in Mr.
1indsay's local appearance was
manifested last winter, when he
was announced to appear during
the mid-season, an engagement
tbat was cancelled owing to the
death of his mother. And now,
that he has even a larger number
of admirers, it is foregone con-
clusion that Waller hall, where
he will appear, will be far too
small to accommodate his poetry
loving friends. This acquaintance
has been made bit more intimate
through the perusal of "Tramplng
with 4 Poet in the Rockies" by
stephen Graham, recently pub
lshed. One gets from Mr.. Graham
some picturesque descriptions and
a most delightful portrait of Mr..
Lindsay. "My companion has two
voices" writes Mr.. Graham, "one
that of a politician, harsh and
strident; the other is that of
Homeric harper and ballad chant
er of the days of old"
According to present plans, 1t
is quite probable that Mr.. Lind
say will come here either Novem-
ber 26 or 27th.
1t was through Prof. Pannun-
zio's efforts that Mr.. Lindsay was
secured last year, and both he
and the league are uniting this
season, thus lessening the ex-
penses incidental thereto.
All last years officers of the
league were reelected at the bus
mess meeting Tuesday night.
They are: Mrs. j. w. HARRISON,
president; Mrs. q. G. Richards,
vice president; Mrs. Byron F
Brunk, art director; J. M. Cliff
ford, secretary; Miss Renska
Swart, treasurer; Mrs. Gertrude
Robson Ross, in charge of pub
licity.
Heads of the various depart
ments will remain the same, with
the exception of the modern writ
ers, which will be under the d1"
rection of Mrs. ]. G. Nelson, who
takes the place of. Mrs. w. F. Far
go, retiring.
1t was decided to reduce the
annual dues from two dollars to
one dollar for the individual, this
being done so that it will be IL
nancially easier for entire faml-
lies to belong to the league.
The sections doing active work
are those of landscape gardening,
modern writer's, Photographic and
arts and crafts, story telling and
interior decorating. Each of these
divisions will be represented III
the November regular meeting,
which falls on the second Tues
day in that month. This session
which will be open to the public,
will demonstrate the work of the
entire league.
Tentative plans are already un-
DER way to bring number OF
worth while speakers to Salem,
and as the league is affiliated
with the American Federation of
Arts, several of that organiza-
uon's loan art exhibits are sehed-
uled to be given during the sea-
son.
Mrs. Helen Ranney of Califor-
MA will be speaker at the meet
ing OF the Missionary society of
Inc First congregational church
