UNIVERSITY EXPERTS
STUDY SEWER PIPE
Engineers Think They Have Solved u
Problem That PuZzed Con-
I'M

University of Oregon, Eugene. Oct
1.-The experts of the engineering
school of the university believe that
they have discovered a new combina-
lion of materials that will give ore
gon, and the Willamette valley III
particular, a better grade OF concrete
sewer pipe than it has been possible
to manufacture up to this time ana
at no greater expense. The flrst ap-
peal to the University came from pri-
yate sources, but the fact that the
sanitation of cities depends in large
degree on watertight conduits gave
the work a public Importance that
appealed to the professors as servants
of the state.
The civil engineering department
under Professor f. II. McAlister, Is
ready at all times to make tests or
materials, etc. for any municipality
or public body in the state. A COM
plete equipment for testing the
strength of steel timber, stone, brick
cement or any other substance Is at
the service of public bodies without
expense to them. BY taking advan-
tage of this offer, public officers can
assure themselves that the taxpayers
are getting their moneys worth from
the contractors. The university
hopes in time to be able to make this
offer to all comers, but for the pres
ent. It Is restricted to municipalities
and public bodies, with a small fee
charged to others to keep the de-
partment from being swamped with
this work.
The department also tests tapes and
chains for city and county engineers.
The chains are usually found accur-
ate enough for rough work in the
country, but experience shows that
city engineers, who deal with smaller
parcels of land, will do well to send
in their tapes. All public officers are
welcome to the departments aid and
advice.

The construction of a piece of road

Ministers Monthly Meeting.

The ministerial union of Webster
City met last evening at the resi-
dence of Rev. and Mrs. N. E. Spicer
who served a six o'clock dinner to
the ministers and their wives.
Following the dinner Rev. A. /.
Martin read a paper on "The Church
of the Future The paper was a
very able exposition of Galatians
1928 and Colossians 3:11. 1t show
ed that ever since the days Of the
apostles the church always grappled
with the great question of its day
and when this was settled the
church of the next generation or
century did likewise. Thus the
church Of today wrestles with the
problems of today, and the church
of tomorrow must cope with the
problems of its own times. Thus
the church has continually anchor
lated the condition of mankind and
in the church Of the future all d.
viding sails will be rent, all true
Christians will be zone in Christ
Jesus" Christ will be all and in
ALL" and so be more powerful than
ever before to Danish sin and evil
from the earth. God speed the day.

JEFFERSON TO PLAY
WEBSTER CITY
Post-season Basket Bali Game
Scheduled to be Contested
in That City.

Coach Meyer of the local basket
ball team, who closed the regular
schedule last week, has dated anoth
err game for this season. This game
will take place in Jefferson. The
reason for billing more games than
are on the schedule is that owing to
the cold weather nothing can be
done by the track and field team.
AS the men are in good condition
from their Strenuous season of bas-
ket ball, it will serve to keep them
fit for the other athletic work when
it is possible to get out. The Jeffer-
son game will probably take place
next Friday night.
1t is also hoped by Coach Meyer
that other post-season games may
u arranged in order that the men
may be kept at work until the out
door season opens. The Jefferson
team met the locals in this city dur
ing the early part of the season. In
the clash the home boys were de-
feated.

that the United States army came
to a battle was when they warned
the Mexicans to stay q certain num-
