az a Result Of the War

Chicago, Oct. 20.-For the hrst
time in sixteen years the meat pack
ers at the Chicago stock yards are
working night and day in the can
ned meat and hide departments in o.
der to fill orders. The unusual activ'
itv has been caused by the large or
ders received as result OF the Eu-
ropean war. In the canning depart
ments alone 800 extra men have been
put to work within a week.
The visible domestic supply OF can
ming beef was depleted several weeks
ago and the packers began sending
to foreign feds for cattle suitable
for this purpose. IS a result Canada
Mexico and southern states which
never before shipped livestock to this
market have been sending their cat.

for their product.
The packers announce that their

Just now the students. especially
the first year students at the b. Y.
College are meeting with all the tri-
ais incident to examinations. Next
week the first reports are to be
made and the grades are to be sent
to parents. Most of the teachers
therefore, are taking advantage OF
this fact and getting data on the lat
est mental abilities of their students
As the process makes extra wo"k for
both student and teacher, each con
siders himself the martyr. II anyone
gets any real pleasure from the gem
eral checking up, it must be the par
ents. Some students though are ey-
EN- doubtful as to the real pleasure
arising from this source.
Since their organization, the first
years are keeping alive. Tuesday al
ternoon they met and added an amuse
ment and a refreshment committee
to their organization Those chosen
are Peterson, Wintergred, Wilkin'
son, Carlisle, Misses Hendricks, Widt'
soc, and Smith. The class Is plan

hope to make it bonfire party.
