UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DUTY
DURING THE PRESENT WAR

The University of Minnesota, in
sending to former students and those who
expect to register for work this fall
notice that the University will not open
until October 10, is calling upon young
men and young women to consider
seriously where their highest duty lies
in the present war emergency. Fl
To aid students in solving this problem
the notice quotes the following from the
national governments bureau Of educa-
ton:
Eve believe that all young men below
the age of liability to the selective draft
and those not recommended for special
service, who can avail themselves of the
opportunities offered by our colleges,
should be urged to do so in order that
they may be able to render the most
effective service both during the full
period of the war and the trying times
which will follow it's close.
Further, we believe that in view OF
the supreme Importance OF applied
science in the present war students
pursuing technical courses such as
medicine, agriculture, and engineering,
are rendering, or are to render, through
the continuance Of their training, services
more valuable and efficient than II they

we're to enroll in military or naval service

were to enroll in military or naval service
at once.'
Following this and statement by
President Wilson to the effect that he
sees no necessity for suspending the
sessions of the colleges and universities,
and thinks that such suspension would
be very much against public interest,
the notice goes on to say:
colleges and universities are organic
ed primarily to train men and women
for leadership in the various activities
of life and in the affairs of the nation
1t is well-known fact that college men
everywhere in large numbers have been
among the first to offer themselves fol
service in army, navy and reserve
officers training corps.
"These leaders may very likely be
lost in the cause. <.-,
"The ranks of the universities must
be kept filled in order that the nations
need be met now and at the close of the
war when the need will be greatest
The period of reconstruction will make
severe demands upon all educated
and thoroly trained men and women

FAIR EXHIBITORS
WANT MORE SPACE
BIG STATE SHOW AT FIAMLINE
PROMISES A MUCH LARGER
DISPLAY.
FEDERAL FOOD DEMONSTRATION
WILL ADD MATERIALLY TO
FAIR.

With the possible exception of the
entertainment features, which have not
yet been completely arranged for, every
department of the Minnesota State Fair,
to be held September to 8, has reported
an increased demand for space and, with
the government placing exhibits for the
first time, there is every reason to believe
that the fair will be the biggest ever
held in the country.
Will Break Records.
'All that we are worrying about this
year," said Thomas H. Garfield, Secre-
tary-Manager, recently, is the weather.
Give us good weather from now until
the fair and especially during the week
of the fair, and we will break all re-
cords"
One of the departments that will far
surpass it's work of previous years is the
School Exhibits Department, of which
George G. Howard is superintendent.
Recently Mr.. Howard issued an appeal
for more space, stating that the exhibits
already accounted for would more than
fill the space allotted to the department.
Similar conditions seem to prevail
in many of the other departments and
the fair managers are very optimistically
inclined.
Ray P. Speer, publicity Manager Of
the fair, is authority for the statement
that the government food exhibits and
demonstrations will materially add to the
attractiveness of the annual fair.
Food Display Great.
"This food conservation movement,
which will be made the chief feature
of the State Fair said Mr.. Speer, who
is member of Food Administrator Hoo
ver's advisory board,'' sis bigger than
people of the Northwest realize. It is,
in fact, the biggest problem the govern
ment has ever had to solve and when one
realizes that it covers such broad field
and takes in everything we eat and things
we wear it is not difficult to see that it
is an important work.
Practical demonstrations in food con-
servation will be held daily at the State
Fair. These will be under the direct Jon
OF government experts.

A HUMBLE AMBITION

I sometimes think it must be nice
To be humble toad, ..
And, free from strife and clamor, Just
To hop along the road;
To weep not at the price of pies,
Content to live on flies and feas. =.
The toad he never falls in love
He pays no wedding fee,
He never has to scold wife
When she is late with tea;
He never hears her parents say:
"Our daughter threw herself away
The toad he never Yields hoe
Among the weedy beans,
He never has to go to school,
Or read the magazines; Il"
He never has to comb his hair,
Or itch with flannel underwear.
He never wheels the baby-cab
Along the dusty street. =.
And hears the neighbor ladies say
90, amt the darling sweet,
He looks just like his d,-but yet
We all have something to regret
He never on the telephone -...
Called Number Eighty-Eight
And heard gumchoked female say
After lengthy wait:
II can't get 88 for you,
But won't some other number do?''
The toad he need not cogitate
Upon the price of beef,
Serene he sits in drowsy calm
Beneath cabbage leaf,
And cares not if the home-teams win
Or what may be the cost of gin.
Oh yes, I'd like to be toad,
And hop along the grass,
And help my neighbor angleworm
Eat up his garden-sass;
And then sit by and blink my eyes
And fatten up on fleas and flies.

ANNAPOLIS HISTORICAL
CITY OF OLD MARYLAND
Seat of National Naval Academy
Was Once State Capitol.

Mrs: H. L. Beecher, who with Mr..
Beecher and her sister, Mrs. &. +.
Howard of Pipestone, recently returned
from an Eastern trip, during which
they visited the Annapolis Naval
academy, has written for the Review an
interesting description and historical
sketch of that institution. Mrs. Beecher
says of the academy:
Annapolis was made the capital OF
Maryland in 1894, and here today, one
may find many buildings of historical
interest, tho as city she has lost her
prominence.
Historical Building
''The State House, built in 1772-4,
is closely associated with the history of
our country. Here, in the old Senate
Chamber, where at the close of the
Revolution the Continental Congress
was holding it's sessions, and here on
December %, 1888 Washington resigned
his commission as Commander-in-C Chief
of the Continental Army. The spot
where Washington stood is marked by
a plate.
"Our Naval Academy was founded in
1915, when Fort Severn, comprising
nine and a half acres, was transferred
from the Army to the Navy Department.
During the Civil War the Academy was
moved to Newport, and the fort used
as an army camp. In September 1866
the Academy again occupied it.
Boosted by Roosevelt
"In 1897, Colonel, Roosevelt, then
assistant secretary of the Navy, asked
Congress to make an appropriation, and
the popularity won by the Navy in the
Spanish American War made large ap-
preparations follow rapidly, so that in
1900 a complete reconstruction of the
buildings began. Today the Academy
grounds cover about one hundred acres,
including farm property across the
Severn.
The main buildings are of grey granite,
and all roads of oyster shell. A high
wall, with four entrance gates separates
it from the town. The Severn, and sea
wall on Chesapeake Bay, enclose it on
the other sides.
"The Administration Building, is
noticeable by the flag staff directly in
front of it. Here the Superintendent,
and his aids, have offices. Next in
rank to the Superintendent is the Com
mandant, who has immediate control
of matters of discipline. Beyond are the
Officers Quarters. Many interesting
trophies, cannons and torpedoes, are
near the walks leading to the Armory,
the first building of the new Academy
to be completed. 1t is 110X215 and on
its walls are a collection of trophy
guns of many centuries and from various
lands. Without is an ancient japanese
bronze bell, 1856, presented to Com
modore Perry when he opened Japan's
doors, to the western world, and only
sounded when the cadets win in baseball
or football over West Point.

INSURE OUR FIGHTING
MEN DURING THE WAR

Work on the plan of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo for life and indemnity
insurance to the soldiers and sailors Of
the United States is progressing. The
advisory committee of 10 prominent in
surance men and other committees and
the Secretary are working out the details
and a bill will ultimately be drafted and
presented to Congress for action. The
report Of the various committees and the
Secretarys action furnish a tangible
working basis for the legislation

Secretary McAdoo before the con-

views as follows: ut seems to me that

dependent upon future legislation for
the granting of compensations which
have heretofore, under our policy, taken
the form of pensions. Our brave men
should not be left in uncertainty or doubt
as to what is going to be done for them
in case of either death or total or partial
disability. A man who goes out to
fight for the United States is entitled to
know in advance what a just Govern
ment is going to do for him.
! One of the great uses Of the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan Bonds is to protect
our fighting men, to supply them With
everything that will make them powerful,
effective and as safe as may be. That
those who meet with disability in the
course of their duty should be given
compensation and that the dependents
of those who die for their country should
be given compensation is exactly in line
with and really part of this use Of the
proceeds of the Liberty Loan Bonds.
