The senior class Of the College of
Liberal Arts met yesterday to elect Of
ficers. An interesting coincidence in
connection with this class, which will
graduate next spring, and which is
therefore known as the class of 10, is
that it contains just 10 members.
The new officers are: President
Carl r. Hollingsworth; vice-president

GENERAL INTEREST
IN The WATERWAYS
And Annual Rivers and Har-
bors Congress Will Be
Largely Attended.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-the COM
Ing National convention of the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which will be held in this city on the
4th, 5th and 9Th of December, gives
promise of bringing together the lar
gest number of delegates that ever at
tended waterway congress. Presi-
dent Taft will open the convention
with a notable address on the needs
of waterway improvements and will
be followed by a number of leading
men of both the United States and
Canada.
1t Is a subject for general congratu-
lation, according to ex-Congressman J.
Adam Bede, that the several water
and levee conventions held up to the
present time have been more largely
attended than at any time in the his
tory of the associations. ITO my mind
the increased attendance Of delegates
and visitors to these waterway confer
ences has but one significance, an
aroused public interest in the cause Of
waterway improvements and deter
mination to push tn work of lettering
our river transportation IN order that
the threatened freight congestion may
be relieved in the future.
Having attended three waterway
conventions this year and having no.
ticed the increased interest in the sub
ject, I feel certain that there is bet
ever existed before, and this among
railroad men too"
This view of Mr.. Bede is emphasiz-
ed by no less a person than President
w. w. Finley of the Southern Railway
When asked today about statements
made at the recent Levee Convention
at Memphis, Tenn, which reported the
railroads of the south as opposing the
improvement of inland waterways and
Mr. Finley said: 80 far as such state
ments have been applied to the atti-
tude of the Southern Railway Com
pany, they were based on a misunder-
standing of facts. AS a representative
of that company, which operates in a
section Of the country in which the
importance Of waterways can be in
creased, and dealing with the subject
as a practical and not as a theoretical
matter, / have repeatedly stated our
position to be that of favoring the i'm
provement of inland water ways SO far
as they can be made economically ef
ficient highways Of commerce. might
say that. interested as we are in the
development of the territory in the
Mississippi alley that is subject to
overflow, it would be a very short
sighted policy on our part to oppose
the maintenances of the leyee sys-
tenn"

AMERICAN CORN.
In lts Sturdy visor It Is Representa-.
tive of Our People.

y
tive of Our People.
Indian corn is a native of America.
The Indians cultivated it when the
white man first came, and their legends
carried it back to Manitou, or Great
Spirit, from whom it came as his
choicest gift to man, says the Wash
ington Post. Without it the earlier
settlements would have persisted.
1t grows in all parts Of the United
States and in it's every stage presents
varied charms and attractions. more
alluring to the eye than waving fields
of wheat or rice. the white cotton or
the splendid sugar cane, with which it
vies in stateliness and outranks in its
gorgeous and changeful hues Of green.
One-third Of the human family lives
on rice, but it is not the third that
counts. The date palm is everything
to the desert dweller. So is corn to
the American. although often indirect
ly. He eats it on the cob and of,
makes of it innumerable kinds of food
and turns it into hogs and cattle.
In it's sturdy vigor Indian corn is
representative of the people. 1t strikes
its tap root deep into the earth. while
the lateral roots reach out in every d.
rection. 1t droops under the long
drouth. but given two or three rains
toward caring time it yields a harvest
that puts the gloomy prophets to
shame.
