Mrs. J. H. James expressed hearty
agreement with the sentiment of Mr.
Reynolds, that the college campaign
should not be commercialized.
Angus McKinnon, campaign secre-
tay, spoke of the need of the mora
support and general Endorsement Of
the campaign for funds for Bethany

men of Mankato. 1t would go far in
helping to make the campaign out

But he brought out the point thai

Appeal to Pocketbooks.
Ed Brett spoke also of the neces-
sity of appealing to the pocketbood
He started quite discussion by
stating that he understood that al
times the college, which had been
helped by Mankato business men
had sent away for certain supplies.
Rev. Georg said the college wanted
to buy in MankatO as far as possible
1t was true that the college once
sent outside for uniforms, but later
arrangements were made to get such
uniforms as were needed, through a
Mankato concern. He said the stu
dents seemed to buy practically all
they got right here in Mankato. The
college itself bought all of its sup
plies of Mankato merchants.
Mr.. Brett spoke of the report that
some tennis shoes had been ordered
from outside of the city.
Mr.. Georg said the college never
ordered any tennis shoes for the
girls. The gymnasium teacher had
once ordered supply of tennis shoes
but where they came from he did not
know.
Professor Jenny remarked that the
college now had a rule forbidding
teachers to order supplies.
Rev. John F. Mann remarked that
the question had been asked whether
the college was for German Luther
an girls only. He said it was not.
There were students there from 9TH

ton of sentiment VS.. pocketbook, he
took the view that neither should
exclusively dominate the policy of
the campaign. Both had to be con-

NJ AGREEMENT
 WAS REACHED
STEAMSHIP CON- PANIES REFUSED TO ACCEPT
 THE OFFER
MADE BY RAILROADS
Meeting Was Adjourned Without Accomplishing What Was
 Intended

SEATTLE, Jan. 1S-The meeting that was arranged a few days ago between the transcontinental rail- raod officials and those of the Al aska steamship companies. was held yesterday. The meeting, however, proved a disappointment to many, inasmuch as no agreement was reached whereby the rates may be reduced.
 The railroad officials offered to absorb six dollars a ton on freight from Alaska via Seattle to the Eastern market, providing the steamship companies obsorb the four dollars, the difference between the rates by way of Prince Rupert. This, the report says, was refused by the steamship companies. Thus leaving the old rates to prevail.
 What action, if any will be talk en later in the matter. the dispatch does not state.
