with the campaign to raise the fund

there have been pouring lately from
every state in the union, and from all
parts of the world, suggestions and
demands that the new building be
dedicated TO DR.. AngelL FOR foity-foa-
wears actual or titular head Of the in
stitution.
The officers OF the union, which is an
organization of students and alumni,
! received the suggestion cordially when
first it was made and now that the
communications from former students
take on a rote of insistence to the
same effect. it is said, the realization
of the building project will be accom-
panied by the naturalization of the
Angel Memorial. The general tenor OF
| the alumni suggestion is that alumni.
undergraduates. professors and cltl-
zens generally may express in the mil
| lion dollar union home their regard for
| the man who has been their guide
and mentor for nearly half century
1T is peculiarly appropriate that the
Michigan Union home for students and
alumni should be builded and main
| tanned IN the nature of memorial to
| DR.. Angel, because it is TO emhody the
newest idea in education propounded
by the Oldest educator" said Dean
Henry NJ Bates. Of the law depart
ment, general chairman of the union

always had at heart--the complete

Oak Tree Thirty Seven Feet Around.

The largest oak tree in the world is
located on a ranch in San Benito coun-
", California" remarked John H.
Blackwood. of Los Angeles. at the Ra-
leigh This immense tree. which is
nut bearing tree, measures thirty seven
feet six inches in circumference. 1t is
near the city of Stockton, and the ma
tives declare that ii produces a ton OF
acorns every year.
Until the discovery OF this tree. the
Hooker oak of Chico. Cal. named for
the English botanist of that name. Sir
Joseph Hooker, was the largest tree
known. II is twenty-one feet eight
inches in circumference and rises 10 a
height of los feet
Recently the American Genetic So
ciety gave prizes for the location Of
the largest nut-bearing and non nut
bearing trees in this country. and this
brought about the discovery of the
, San Benito oak. The largest on-nut-
bearing tree was found TO be a syca-
! more near Worthington. Ind. This tree
! is $50 feet high after having had its
height reduced considerable by light
ming and wind. 1t has a spread of 100
feet and its trunk one foot above the
ground is forty FIVE feet three inches
in circumference. This Indiana tree Is
the largest known tree in the eastern
country 1t does not compare. of course
with the giant redwoods of California
Some of the latter measure more in
diameter than the Indiana tree in cir
conference.
The second largest nut-bearing tres
is a chestnut three miles from Crest

One Really Funny Thing.

There is only one really FUNNY
thing in life" an artist philosopher
confided. That is clothes. Naked
sayages seldom laugh, and when they
do laugh it is not the laugh of humor.
II is the laugh Of disdain or triumph.
Fact is. they haven't anything to laugh
at Nothing is out OF tune. nothing Is
out Of style. They can't masquerade
they can't pretend. They can't be
funny until they get hold OF some
civilized persons necktie and old hat.
After that, they can become as con-
ventional and ridiculous as the most
civilized"

Chicago. Oct. Weakness
in northwestern markets and IN Winn!-
peg brought selling pressure in our
market after an early advance, and
closing prices were at moderate losses
as compared With last night. Exporters
were reported as being busy and some
sales We're consunmated. Crop reports
by local experts were construed as
bearish but one of the leading au
thorities estimated that out OF our
present large crop only $4,000, 600 bu
shells will be available for export.
Three hundred and thirty million bu
shells were exported last year. Further
confirmation is received daily OF q
liberal decrease in the acreage Of win
ter wheat which is being prepared for
seeding this fall. Export clearanCes
continue on a large scale, the total for
yesterday being over 100000. Total
clearances for the week were 1000 900.
Corn-The readjustment OF cash corn
10 an October basis, with october dis
posed TO drag, combined with heavy
receipts and forecast for fair and
warmer weather TO cause q weak corn
market. Commission houses We're the
best sellers early and later local shorts
took advantage Of the weak position
and passed the market on every show
of strength. There We're export bids
in the market and probably some corn
was worked. aItho no business was re-
ported. Estimates OF the 1915 crop
ranged from 2,s7l, 200 100 to 5000 600, :
900. The local trade accepted both
reports as bearish. Country offerings
were not large, due no doubt to the
veE. unsettled condition Of the cash
market
oats-Local traders were disposed
to sell oats on the belief that a material
increase in receipts may be expected
soon. commission houses we're fan
buyers, however, on resting orders anG

corn did not decline so much.

Especial correspondence.l

Washington, oct. l.-Transportation
of Canada's grain crop is an acute
problem. according TO report from
Consul Henry p. Starrett. at Fort Will
liam Ont The grain crop this year
is the largest in the history of Canada,
he SAYS but fears are expressed that
lake carriers will he over-taXed and
that storage facilities are inadequate.
Inasmuch as a congestion of grain in
western Canada would have important
effects on the American grain market
and result in overflow OF grain from
Canada into the United States, the
question is one of concern TO this coun-
try as well as TO Canada
Consul Starrett thinks the real dan
ger is the possibility of serious con-
sestion at the Atlantic ports due to lack
of ocean tonnage. He thinks the ele-
vator facilities and the railroad and
other transportation facilities will be
sufficient to handle the crop up to the
point where it reaches the Atlantic
ports.
Ocean Tonnage Lacking.
Saving that the real crux of the sit
uation as 10 moving the Canadian grain
crop Is uduSeE Oi ldSh "a 'tedA t'4-
mage TO carry the crop from the Al
lantic ports. Mr. Starrett adds that IT
is we'll known for sometime there has
been inadequate vessel tonnage on the
coast even for the ordinary needs OF
commerce. So the necessity of taking
care Of the export grain complexities an
already embarra ssing situation. This
condition has largely been brought
about by the Communicating for war
purposes by the admiralty of con-
sidera BILE percentage of British ships
engaged in the over seas trade. To
relieve the situation and to insure an
adequate supply to the British isles the
coming winter, Consul Starrett SAYS 1t
is understood the admiralty purposes
releasing enough tonnage to move the
Canadian grain exports promptly upon
arrival at the seaboard.
Shipping interests have suffered from
low lake rates the first half OF the sea-
son. grain having been carried from
Fort William TO Buffalo at a rate of
= cents per bushel. this being below
what is said to be actual cost OF OPP
Grafton II is hoped that the higher
rates from now on will more than COM
pensate owners for losses the earlier
part of the season Rates now are
goiry up and Mr. Starrett predicts that
every available bottom on the Great
Lakes may reasonably expect to be
busy Cor the balance of the navigation
season and this with very attractive
charters.
