Ladd's Chemistry
Building Burns

On Christmas Eve the chemistry
building at the A. C. burned to the
ground. with all it's contents, save
for the records in the vault, which
are believed to, be safe at the pre-.
sent writing. T.,
Before the flames had died down ar
rangements were made to provide for
the class room and experimental work
carried on. Other departments came
forward and offered laboratories and
while there will be some inconven.
fence, the work will not suffer.
: The pharmacy students have been
we'll provided for, and other classes
arranged so that there will be no
interrupt ion Of the work. Fortunately
there were large delayed shipments
lot chemical shipments on the road
and these will be on hand by thdt
opening Of the winter term OF school.
/. The work of the pure food depart.
/ rhent will go on without interruptions
f''Hfke origin Of the fire IL unknown
When first seen it was beyond con.
troll and one explosion followed an
other 80 rapidly that all thought of
saving the building was abandoned,
and the whole effort turned toward
keeping the flames from the library
and tn, engineering buildings, both
Of which were in imminent danger.
$4,000 insurance is carried on the
property and the emergency board
will probably be asked to cover the
net loss, some $4,000. Plans for 4
fire proof structure, larger and better
in every way than the old, are being
pushed, and building operations will
begin at the earliest possible mo-.
ment.
Professor Ladd lost a valuable pri-
vate library. consisting of books and
documents the collection of a life
time. Other individual losses will
carry the total loss on building.

To do the work properly more pow

horses usually seen in the field and
TO do it within the proper time limit
larger plows are necessary Through
much of this country there is hard
pan formed by constantly blowing at
a fixed depth, and it is very difficult
to break under this crust. Some Of
the farmers are using the three-lay
