There are fifty professors and 275
others. too old or otherwise unfit for
military service, who form this volun-
teer organization, called, after one of
its founders. Godley's army.
Colbert Murray is a private in the
ranks, and it's great to see him." said
one of his fellow dons. He was paired
off with corporation road member,
and rough one, too to shift 176 pound
cases of soap to trucks for Calais and
the front. BY the end of the day the
pair got quite chummy, and when after
each trip to the truck with case of
soap the road mender would say,
Steady on, mate, and easy does it.
nothing daunted, the famous translator
of Euripides replied. Easy it is.
mattel"
The don went on to tell me that the
professors, lawyers clerks and otbegs
of sedentary habits had got over their
first handicap of tender hands and
aching backs, and they now do four
times as much as an equal number of
regulars In one of their ten hour days.
"Oh, they jolly well keep steaming
all the time" he said. "Of course, they
wouldn't be able to keep it up every
day, but they are enthusiastic because
they are volunteers"
Professors from high Tory oxford
are playing the part of navvies to aid
in the munition work of Liberal Lloyd
George, but it is only one example of
the many at oxford where war is
making manual laborers of all classes.
Another is that of the wealthy lady
who lent a piece of ground as a novel
way of giving work TO the unemployed
and at the same time furnishing a crop
of potatoes. The unemployed who were
at the same time untitled by age or
physical health for military service got
busy and planted potatoes. But by the
time the crop was ripe more perma-
nent jobs left vacant by war had fallen
to their lot. and the lady found herself
with crop Of potatoes in the ground.
but no unemployed to get them out.
She called for volunteers from her
friends at the university and the re-
suit was that professors, tutors and
dignified masters of colleges left their
libraries and went out to hoe spuds,
while some of the debutantes busted
themselves with sorting the crop into
grades.
The crop was advertised for sale.
Many Of the dons who had dug the
potatoes took personal interest in
their ultimate destination, so that the
lady cleared more than 500 for the
military hospitals.

PLAN MAKING CHURCH
COMMUNITY CENTER
Reforms Are Suggested For
Country House Of Worship.

Columbus, Ozone out of every nine
country churches has been abandoned
In recent years. Only one-third are in
creasing in membership, and two-thirds
have ceased growing. Eighty-three
per cent have less than 100 members;
81 per cent have less than twenty
FIVE, 81 per cent between twenty
FIVE and fifty. and "a per cent have be-
tween fifty and 100. Only 6 per cent
have individual preachers, while 26
per cent share ministers with another
church; % per cent have one-third the
time of a minister, q per cent have
one-fourth time, IA per cent have one
fifth time, 5 per cent have one-sixth
time. A large proportion of preachers
receive about the same pay as a day
laborer Less than 40 per cent Of the
rural population are now church mem
bers.
These facts. shown in an extensive
rural survey of Ohio. whose results
were announced recently, are appli-
cable to most states. according to the
officers of the commission on church
and country life. Plans for state sur
veys to secure definite data for each
locality were to be formulated at
the national convention here of the
commission on church and country
life in December, with President Will
son and Clifford Pinchot among the
speakers announced.
The Ohio survey is considered the
most thorough ever undertaken, but
the campaign not only for surveys, but
for speedy reforms to make churches
community centers as well as houses
Of religious worship, is to be carried
into every part of the country within
the next year.
Here are the causes which the coun-
try church of the near future must
promote in order to save itself, accord
ing to a much discussed report by Pres
ident Kenyon L. Butterfeld of Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college ready for
presentation to the commission: Good
roads. better farming, encouragement
Of agricultural college extension cours-
es, community Identification, public
health and recreation, temperance,
better schools, Saturday half holiday
for agricultural laborers, community
athletics, observance of religious and
patriotic holidays and home coming
weeks, community planning and con-
tentment with farm life
The church must become the social
center for the community, with its
minister leading in variety Of inter
est. and religion thereby will become
a stronger appeal. says the Butterfield
report.

EASTERN SYCAMORE
LARGEST SHADE TREE
Worthington (Ind. Prize Win
nsr Is $50 Feet TALL

Washington.-"Tha the largest shade
tree in the United States, as brought to
light by the prize contest held by the
American Genetic association, should

not surprising" according to q state
ment issued by the forest service.
THE sycamore has long been regard
ed as the largest deciduous tree In
North America. and its range of growth
is hardly second to that of any other
broad leafed tree, for 1t can be found
from Maine to Florida and as far west
as Kansas" says the report
The prize winner was a sycamore at
Worthington, Ind. which Is AZ feet 8
inches in circumference and $50 feet
tall. Foresters are recommending the
sycamore for city planting because 1t is
peculiarly able to Withstand the smoke,
dust and gases incident to urban life.
1t is as resistant to insects as almost
err At ten years a healthy sycamore
usually is large enough for shade as
well as for decorative purposes.
There is hardly any eastern species
so picturesque. With its notified bark
and its stature and conformation the
sycamore has a marked individuality
and cannot be mistaken for any other
species either in TO summer, when the
foliage conceals ructural form. or
In the winter. wu.n the leaves are alb

A common objection to the sycamore
as lawn tree is its habit Of dropping
its leaves before the autumn. From
this characteristic 1t Is sometimes
called "dirty tree"

this country The contest disclosed a
chestnut tree near Crestmont, N. c.,
which is thirty-three feet four inches
in circumference and about seventy

larger than the great elm" at Weth-
ersfield, Conn.,, which is twenty-eight
feet In circumference and about 100
feet tall and is estimated to be $50
years old.
Many remarkable specimens of spe-
cies which ordinarily attain only small
sizes were unearthed by the contest,
furnishing new records Of maximum
growth. A sassafras was brought to
light at Horsham, Pa, which is fifteen
feet ten inches in circumference at
four feet from the ground. Not long
before this a Georgia town claimed
that it had the largest sassafras tree in
the world, though this tree was only
something over seven feet in circum-
ference.
A white birch was found in Massa-

Louisiana with a circumference of
nineteen feet six inches, and a catalpa
in Arkansas with girth Of sixteen

The New Butter Queen.

According to the announcement by
the Advanced Registry Office of the
Iolstein-Fresian Association of Am
erica, dated Nov. 8, 1915, the HOl-
stein-Fresian COW, Duchess Skylark
Ormsby 124514, as a butterfat pro-
ducer, is the new champion OF the
world. She holds this honor regard
less of age, class or breed. In a 365-
consecutive-days' test, conducted un-
der the supervision Of the Minnesota
Agricultural College, employing thir-
teen supervisors, she produced 81
761.07 pounds of milk, containing
1,205.09 pounds Of butterfat, an ay-
erage per cent of fat in the milk of
about 4.23,
The yield ran very evenly, month
by month. This remarkable showing
Of butterfat exceeds tnat Of the re-
firing champion, Finderne Pride Jo-
hanna Rue 1210S3, by 2S.62 pounds,
and yet the entire yield of milk by
the new record holder, during the
test period, was 642 pounds less than
that given by the great daughter of
Johanna Rue 3d's Lad 26939.
The new champion was bred by R.
B. Young, Buffalo Center, n. Y, and
is owned by John B. Irwin, of Mime
apolis, Minn. The sire of Duchess
Skylark Ormsby is Sir Ormsby Hen

The new champion butterfat pro-
ducer was born Oct. 81, 1909, and
freshened at the age of five years and
three days. She was cared for by
AXel Hansen. and throughout the
test never missed a feed, never re-
quired the services of a veterinary
and was fed nothing but the ordinary
commercial COW feeds.

HIGH SCHOOL PARAGRAPHS
By LOREN MlKESELL

The second year commercials have
completed their class organization
and they are now known as senior
commercials. Their class officers
are Chas. Barlow, president; Oma
Bennett, vice-president; Evelyn Ship
ley. secretary-treasurer; Henry Pet
erson, reporter and Chas. Barlow
assistant reporter.
The auctioneer, that famous Swede
bv the name of "Ole" Peterson,
broke up a game of bingo last Sat
urday night so he could get a chance
to ply his terrible trade. By means
of his tender pleadings, he induced
us to assemble in the auditorium and
then began exhibiting his wares. He
first brought out fine basket and
began pleading with the masculine
portion of the crowd to hand him a
few of the bright pieces. He finally
induced the generous president of the
student body to buy the first one.
After this the auctioneer had us hyp-
noticed and the baskets and money
began to change places rapidly
Twenty-Five dollars and forty cents
were taken in, so we can now liqui-
date our football debt and have
money left.
Because of a conflicting date the
literary program will be given this,
Thursday, evening at o'clock, in
stead of Friday evening. The sopho-
more class has charge of the program
at this time and they will present the
play, County Fair at Punkinville.
Eight new seats have been placed
in the auditorium this week and
there is now room for every student
to sit in the right division.
