Prom Wheat to Bread.

A record for converting grain
into bread has been established by
a Canadian farmer. Wheat which
was in the sheaf at three O'Clock in
the afternoon was made into
scenes before six. When opera
tiOns began a wagon stood in the
barn with about half a load OF
grain in the sheaf. Beside IT was
a thresher; connected with this
was a gasoline engine. The en-
gine was started, the sheaves
were fed into the thresher. and
the grain was deposited in bin.
The power then was transferred

changing the newly-threshed
wheat into -four was quickly car.

historian of the mems division Of the

ScIiu-conic manner. Mir. Chapman
sail il part:
"Thc class of 1906 is really a re-
markdblr one. In the first place our
history began back before the Civil
War We stand today the few
survivors of Il lost cause
we have done many things that no
other class has ever done, ami where
we have followed in the footsteps Of
our predecessors we have done better
than they. For example, the clock
and staring for forty years, and no
one was thoughtful enough to donate
clock until the class of 1906 made
the college Il gift of the handsome
timepicce which now adprns the
tower.
I'VE are the only class in college
which has had a real old fashioned
Freshman Reading. with false orders
and all the other cxcitcmentS The
class Of 1907 had not even the pre-
tencc Of one, and two lower classes
have had only il sort Of primary
school substitute which is really dis
grace to the name.
our mems division outnumberS the
wOmens division nearly two to one
The juniors are evenly divided and in
the two lower classes the women out
number the men.
"Oh. yes. the class of 1906 is really
remarkable class: we have discovered
how little we really know. Perhaps
the most remarkable thing about the
class is this: We realize our limita-
tons. But we do hope to do faithful
work in the world. More than this We
do not desire.
