University Notes

At the chapel hour yesterday the
senior class made its first appearance
in cap and gown. The elass entered in
a line Of march after the other stu
dents were in their places. Dr. Frank
W. Chaec interpreted a beautiful march
on the pipe organ.
After the services the annual senior
chapel march was held. with the robed
seniors leading, the other classes fol
lowing in order of rank The march
was confined to State street, Wilson
park, the capital grounds and the cam
Pus. Formation Of the line into a large
w concluded the maneuvers.
From now on the seniors will wear
the insignia of scholastieism every
third Friday of the month, the time
for the regular student body meetings.
However during the last month of the
year the class voted to appear in caps
and gown each school day. The idea be-
ing not 10 institute a new custom. but
to be original and stand for higher
scholastic dignity.
Tonight will occur the dual debate
with Pacific University Both student
bodies have looked forward to this
event with great interest for the past
two months. Willamette has reputa-
tiOn to defend since she whipped Pa
cifie in both debates last year. How
ever the Forest Grove institution has
vowed revenge. The local contest will
be staged in the Waller hall chapel at
$ p. m. Discussion will center around
the question: Resolved, That a Literary
fTouA Il =
House i'll No. 6060 is the best method
for regulating European Immigration.
The affirmative side will be defended
by Adalph SpieSs and Otto Paulus rep
resenting Willamette. while Glenn aJek
and X. w. lrle OF Pacific will argue
against the question. Professors Fred
eric Dunn and Ernest Bates of Eugene.
and Prof. Hector Mcpherson of Cor
wallis will serve as judges Professor
James T. Matthews viii preside. A
musical program will be presented.
There will be no admission charge and
all Salem people are welcomed William

WHAT is A LIBERTY LOAN BOND?
Special Advantages of These Bonds,
Which Are a Mortgage on
the United States

A Liberty Loan Bond is q solemn
promise of the United States to pay
at maturity the amount of the bond
to the holder thereof, and to pay
interest semi-annually each year
from the date of the issuance of the
bond until it is fully and finally
paid.
The faith and honor of the United
States, backed by all of the resour-
ces of the Nation and the American
people. A Liberty Loan Bond is a
mortgage on all the resources and
taxing powers of the Government
and all of the resources Of the Amer

There are two kinds of Liberty
Loan Bonds. Bearer Bonds are to
be issued in denominations of $50,
$10O, $780, and $1,000. These Bear

ARRANGE PATRIOTIC MEETINGS
People of Rural Communities Gather
and Make Plans To "Do
Their Bit''

! Patriotic agricultural meetings
have recently been held in the Maple
Center schoolhouse with practically
every farm in that community rep
resented by one or more members,
and at joint districts Thornapple
and Hubbard, where an audience of
sixty discussed methods by which
the farmers in those communities
could increase the production of
staple foods A similar meeting was
held at the Rodgers schoolhouse in
Thornapple where about 35 people
gathered and discussed plans for
doing their bit" to aid in the pro-
duction of foodstuffs during the COM
ing season.
Due to the nature Of the soils in
these communities the people agreed
that the greatest benefit could be
gained by increasing the potato
acreage. In each case children of
the school, ten years old or over,
were loaned a peck of pure bred
seed potatoes in order that they
might establish the pure varieties
on the home farm. Meetings will
be held on the fields during the
growing season in order that the
crop may be protected from the
potato bug pest and sprayed against
the blight.
1t is suggested by the State Coun-
Gil for Defense that the people from
communities throughout the county
gather at one of these schoolhouse
meetings and discuss new problems
which have arisen out of the pres
ent state of war, and to report the
method in which they plan to "do
their bit'' to the State Council. The
County Council for Defense will
gladly supply speakers to discuss
topics of the day at any meeting
which farmers choose to schedule
1t is hoped that at least twenty
such meetings will be held during
the month of June. Those who
think that such a meeting would be
a benefit in their community should
communicate at once with G. M.
Householder at Ladysmith, and ar
rangements will be made.

Rusk Co. Agricultural Agent.

ENLIST NOW

The Third wisconsin Infantry has
received order from the War De-
partment to recruit to war strength
without delay.
Under the draft law recently
passed in Congress all male citizens
between the ages of 21 and 81, not
already in the military service OF
the United States will be required
to register; this includes all mem
bers of the National Guard organ
1Zat1Ons not in the United states
service and all persons who have
signified their intention of joining
any of the proposed new companies.
There is a strong probability that
after registration day June 5th, that
all chance to volunteer may be cut
off as the draft and volunteer sys-
TENS cannot operate at the same
time. I advise young men of mill
tary age to enlist now before June
5th, while you have a chance to
choose to go into a company of this
regiment among your friends already
in the service of the United States;
for when you are drafted you can
not tell where you will go.
Be warned in time and enlist be-
fore June 5th.

Colonel, 3rd Wisconsin Infantry.

lNSURES EMPLOYEES

The Rusk County Bank of this city
lrecently presented each of it's en-
ployees with a life and accident in
surance policy, which the bank eX-
poets to keep in force so long as the
employees continue in the service OF
that bank. This policy is what IS
termed group life insurance and was
made possible by the contract en-
tered into at the last Convention of
the Wisconsin Bankers Association.
Under this group life insurance
plan the Travellers Insurance Com
pany of Hartford insures the EN-
ployees of that bank, not only in
case of death, but, in case of any
accident resulting in permanent dis
ability, the insured employee will re-
ceive from that company stated
annual payment for twenty years.
Bankers have long advocated
thrift among the people of the
country. and by thus providing for
possible accidents and death among
it's employees, the Rusk County Bank
is certainly "practicing what it
breaches
Life insurance is certainly one i'm
rortant part of any thrift campaign"
and undoubtedly many Of the young
er bank employees will have their
attention forcibly directed to the
benefits Of life insurance through
the policy presented to them by their
bank officers. The spirit OF loyalty
and good will between employer and
employee through this new form of
welfare work will undoubtedly result
in good to the bank as well as to it's
employees.

BUCK LAW REPEALED

Madison, May 1.-THE assembly
today engrossed the big fish and
game bin of the session. One of the
provisions repeals the buck law
enacted at the 1915 session of the
legislature AS the bill was en-
crossed in the assembly, it provides
for deer hunting season from No
vember 21 to November 80. Each
person is permitted to shoot one
deer during the season. In North
ern wisconsin the muskrat season
closes April 20 and re-opens Novem-
ber /. The bill provides a graduated
license fee for trappers based on the
number of traps. 1t reduces the bag
limit for bass or pike from fifteen
to ten in one day per individual.

REGISTRATION FOR CONSUMPTION
Every Man Between Fl and 81 Must
Register on June

Tuesday, June 5th, has been des
ignated as Registration Day, under
the army conscription act recently
passed by congress. 1t is expected
that at least 100000 men between
21 and 81 will be registered for ar:
my services on that day.
Of course, not all who register
will be drafted into service, but from
the whole number will be selected
those who will be required. The
first army will number 100000 and
Traditional forces will be drawn as
the war crisis may demand.
The registration rules are laid
down by the war department and are
very rigid Every man between q
and 80 years, inclusive, whether he
tered and the penalty for failing to
register is Imprisonment Any man
who registers falsely, is likewise
subject to Imprisonment.
The registrations will be made in
each election precinct. In case of
temporary absence from home, a man
must register by mail. But he must
apply for his registration, blank in
advance and mail it in time to
reach the registration officers not
later than June 5th. If in a city
of over 10000 he is to apply to the
city clerk for his registration blank
to be mailed home to reach the To-
cal registration officers not later
than June 5th. In all smaller
places he must apply to the coun-
ty clerk for his registration card.
Those who are too i'll to register
must likewise apply for instructions
in advance and get their registration
cards to the registers on time.
Registration in this county will
be in charge Of the county clerk.
Local registration officers will be
found at the polling places from z
a. m. to p. m. on June 5th. The
law is mandatory as to every phase
of the registration, and for any
neglect of duty by registration Off
GERS the penalty is Imprisonment,
under the federal government
Returns will have to be made by
local registration officers within "a
hours
The Importance Of registering
should not be overlooked by any
man. Even those who may have
enlisted in local militia companies
are not exempt unless their militia
companies actually have been mus
tered into federal service.
