Ministries

The State College MINISTRIES were sue
cessful in their entertainment last Saturday
night and drew full house. The program
was of the usual minstrel variety with sew
eral good specialties. The chorus work was
fine. The we'll trained body of 35 of the
best male voices in the College never
failed to please. Stunt, Phipps and Cline
IN solos ELECTED hearty applause and respond
ed in each case. Some very good comical
songs were rendered by the endmen, Mracek
and Logan. Perhaps the most taking"
part of the program was the neat takeoff
of ballet girls by Pckrel and Grimes. The
cornet duets of Porak and Ellis were above
the ordinary and were we'll received
Grimes in his bag punching was up to his
old standard. The old plantation songs
with which the performance was closed were
among the best, and to many the best fea-
lures.
Colonel Sapp acted as interlocutor, while
the show was given under the direction of
Clinton STUNT
The share of the proceeds which went tc
the Athletic Association was $161. SO. Elk
penses were $45.95, leaving net proceeds tc
the amount of Sis SIS for the association.
The men who worked long and hard to make
the show success are deserving of thanks
not only of the association, but of the en-
tire college.

COLLEGE NOTES.
(From Evergreen

Among the work seen on the drawing
room walls within the last two weeks have
been some interesting drawings of the de-
tails of buildings, as seen from the drawing
room and studio windows When asked to
name the best drawings that have been made
in the class so far, Miss Woodward said:
''One of the best drawings made was a
small drawing from spray of fir, by Mr..
McGilvery. The shape and growth of the
leaves, and the texture of the stem were
shown beautifully The best drawing of a
building so far has been by Mr.. Swegle,
who drew the creamery building. The best
drawing from the japanese lanterns was by
R. Kennedy; of the apples, by Everett
johnson. The best free hand perspective
plates, by Stanley Shaw. Neil Thomas does
strong work, as do Peter HUSKY, Ray Dam
man and others, whose drawings you will
see at the exhibition, which takes place soon
after the holidays.
Miss Woodward said further 'The
most difficult problem the class in water
color and design has yet met has been the
designing of ''all over" patterns for wall
paper and fabrics. But they persevered un-
til they worked out some very good designs.
The class has studied color in flat tones, in
Producing one color, and then three, into
their compositions. At their next lesson
they bring the study of full modelling in
color. The first problem will be flower
form within given space. The flower will
be the carnation. We obtain them from the
green house.
Among the work done by the private
class has been large study of yellow
chrysanthemums by Miss Browne. She be-
gan the study from nature, and finished it
from memory. A dainty study of pink
primroses was done from nature by Miss
Davis. Miss Davis is now at work on a
study of fruit. Miss Pope did from nature
spray of oak leaves with rich coloring,
and group of ears of corn, yellow and red
The sketch class are interested in their
work. The last two Saturdays Iwere spent
in studying the features from the cast. The
only way to gain true knowledge of draw
ing is to study from the model, meaning by
that from nature, from life, from the object
or the cast,

New Conservatory

The School of Music is now at home in
the new conservatory building which stands
completed just north of the main group of
college buildings. The moving in, coming

may be heralded as a Christmas present to
the entire College community. To those in
terested especially in music it is great
boon because of the convenience and oppor-
tunity to do the work, and those not so en-
thusiastic in the divine art may pursue their
studies far from the maddening noise of
ceaseless practice.
The building presents a classical front
overlooking the campus and the city of Pull

are separated from the practice rooms which
surround the recital hall by a stairway and

Roots for Pasture

experiments have repeatedly shown
that i pays to let swine do their own
harvesting with certain root crops, al
though it must be remembered that
other feed constituting as nearly a bal
anced ration as possible must also be
fed. Mangles or beets Sugar beets)
sown now and cultivated more or less
during the summer will make a pas
ture crop on which the swine may be
turned in the fall with excellent re-
suits. When turned on to such a pas
ture they should be permitted to do
as they please, which is generally to
consume the tops and then dig out the
roots.
OF course, the seed must be sown
on fairly good soil and soil that does
not bake too hard, else the swine can
not get at the roots. We make it a
practice to turn them into this field
for about two hours daily and keep
up the barn feed of a mixture of corn
meal and middlings, which, with the
roots, constitute an almost perfect
ration. Sometimes a pasture is va
ried by giving them a tu~n on to the
last crop of rape or on to grass Of

of preparing the hog for the fatten-

bar to return to the cabinet and it is
believed that President Roosevelt has
made it plain to Mr.. Root that it was
his duty to take the helm of state at a
time when many ideals of American
diplomacy, particularly those involved
in the far east, are at critical point
The acceptance by Mr.. Root means a
continuation of the 'open-door' policy
in China as instituted by Secretary
Hay.
Elihu Root is little more than 60
years old, having been born in Clin-
ton, Oneida County, New York, Feb
10, 1916. He was first chosen to Of
fee as judge of the New York Court
of Common Pleas in 1879. President
Arthur appointed him United States
district attorney for the southern dis
trict of New York and he occupied this
Office for two years. He went into the
Mckinley cabinet as Secretary of War
and was at the head of that depart
ment of the government during the
troublous times in the Philippines fol-
lowing the Spanish-American war. Mr..
Root resigned that position to resume
the practice of law in which he is re-
garded as one of New York's most sue
cessful men.

"CITY OF LIGHTS"
Dazzling Electric BriIIiancy to Be a
Feature of Denver.


Feature of Denver.
A movement is on foot to make Den
yer the best lighted city in the world.
Already counted the cleanest its power
to attract the tourist is to be increased
by lighting system that will make its
streets at night resemble the courts of
a worlds fair and make it famous as
THE City of Lights"
1t is, in fact, from the wonderfully
beautiful effects secured at the Chicago,
Buffalo and st. Louis expositions that
the idea of lighting the streets of the city
has been derived, and the man who
planed these efforts has been brought to
Denver to undertake to do for a city's
lighting that which he accomplished for
the fair grounds.
The first step toward the big plan for
Denver will be the erection of thirty
three steel arches to span 10th street, the
principal thoroughfare of the city, each
arch to carry 220 incandescent electric
light bulbs The arches will reach from
curb line to curb line, and from them
will also be suspended the trolley wires
cf the tramway line, and so all other
poles along the street viii be removed
ana Iuu sweep given the ey III the view
of the glowing arches of light. The
arches are in themselves ornamental
and in replacing ordinary poles, viii even
in the daylight add to the beauty Of the
street 1t will all be in a measure the
atrical or circusy, but is considered de-
sirable in a city so much sought by the
tourist and sight-seer as is Denver At
the same time the service result is ex-
pected to be much better than is secured
from the arc lights, on which the public
lighting of the city at present depends.

Glover is a mortgage and a

are Individual plants that do not make
seed the second year, or, making seed,
make so little that they survive in a
weakened state another year or more.
There are plants that bloom and die
the first year. Therefore, blooming the
first year should be discouraged, for
the best development does not come
until the second year. The mower
will prevent seed forming the first
year. 1t will not pay to continue the

not omit this clipping. it is vital, as

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.
Weather Favorable Except for Corn In
Northern District.

Northern District.
The weather bureaus weekly bulletin
summarizes crop conditions as follows:
The northern districts of the country
experienced temperate too low for
rapid growth, but in the Southern States
the temperatures were highly favorable.
Excessively heavy rains from the central
and west gulf districts northward over
the western portion of the central valleys,
while relieving drought in Missouri, were
injurious in places, and interfered extern
sively with cultivation. The conditions
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts We're
generally favorable. Rain is much need
ed in the southern plateau region.
Corn has made excellent growth over
the greater part of the corn belt, and
except in the upper Missouri and lower
Ohio valleys, where rains have retarded
cultivation. the crop is clean and well ad-
vanced. Considerable has been laid by
in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. Late
corn in the Southern States is suffering
for cultivation.
''Winter wheat harvest is well advanc-
ed in the northern portion of the winter
wheat belt. and is practically finished in
Illinois. Missouri and eastern Kansas.
Rain has caused injury to grain in shock
in Texas. Tennessee and Kentucky.
Spring wheat has advanced rapidly
throughout the spring wheat region and
continues in promising condition. Some
rust. however. is reported from the south
ern portion, and on l0wlands in Minne-
sofa there is a tendency to lodge. The
crop also continues in fine condition on
the north Pacific coast, except in the
Willamette valley.
"a fine crop of oats is indicated in the
principal oat producing States, but few
unfavorable reports respecting this crop
being received. Harvesting is in progress
in the lower Missouri and central Missis-
sippi valleys"
In Illinois showers benefited all crops
not yet matured. Haying progressing;
yield heavy in north, elsewhere not so
good. Considerable corn laid by in good
condition. Dat harvest begun, good out
put indicated. Wheat thrashing, fair
yield of good quality. Apples falling;
peaches almost failure, grapes and ber-'
ries promising. Potatoes, average crop
in north. elsewhere short yield.

Although they were forced to unite

Seed Better Than Soil.

A great many farmers seem to think
that just as good results can be OBJ
tanned by using soil from an old al
falfa field on uninoculated ground as
from inoculated seed by government
cultures. The misleading statement
has been published that 100 pounds of
soil will inoculate an acre Of ground.
This is o mistake, and the farmer
who tries i viii not only lose his la
Dor but his crop. The agricultural de-
paItment says that it it requires 500
to /, 500 pounds of soil to the acre to
get the best results and that there is
great danger of transplanting soil dis
ease and seeds of obnoxious weeds.
By the use of nitro-culture applied to
the seed there is no reasonable doubt
of success. because every seed comes
in contact with the culture. When in
oculated soil is spread over the ground
it is plain that not more than one seed
in a thousand can be touched by the
bacteria.

courageo and worthy conquerors.
They raided the North Sea, discovered
new lands and founded new kingdoms
in the British Isles without breaking
off intercourse with their native coun-
try.
The Vikings were the progressives
of the Scandinavian peninsula, and to
their efforts was due the union of the
tribes which in feudal manner ruled
over Norway Before this time Nor
way was divided among a number of
mutually independent tribes, under
chieftains or jarls (earls) who directed
the worship of gods and took chief
command in war In all the tribes the
peoples liberty was carried to the
farthest extent The free men settled
their legal disputes and passed laws,
and outside the community and the
laws stood the unfree men, the thralls
or slaves.

Peddliug Vegetables.

Located near thriving summer re-
sort, the writer has for years observed
the methods employed by truckers as
we'll as by the men who buy all they
sell, and has observed that, in nine
cases ont of ten, the latter are the
best merchants, and generally because
the vegetables they buy have been
graded by the wholesaler so that they
are presented to the consumer in an
attractive form. The man who raises
vegetables, on the other hand, hates
to see anything he cannot SELL and he
tries to get rid of Gull stuff by hiding
it among the better vegetables. AS a
result he soon loses his trade. A lady
houSekeeper in town recently remark
ed that she rarely bought things of
farmers because she found their prod
ucts were not reliable.
This is certainly a sad state of af-
fairs, for who should better be able to
deliver first class stuff than the man
who raises it. And who is better able
to know what first class stuff is than
the farmer? There is not a man in
the country with a thriving town with
in easy reach who should not be able
practically to control the best
trade in that town in the prod
ucts of his farm, at least against
the middleman, if he will be
honest in the grading of his goods
and put them up as attractively as the
competitor. Surely the average house
keeper prefers the vegetables fresh
from the ground to those that have
been shipped from distance; but, on
the other hand, she has no wish to find
culls among the things for which she
has paid fair price. See the point?
