In order to effect these savings the
cab has reduced the size OF the por-
tons. has made Tuesday a meatless
day far members and employees and
has stopped serving potatoes as a side
dish with entrees. As a patriotic
measure. the club has discontinued en-
tirely serving baby lamb, veal, suck
ling pig and squad birds of all kinds.
The Food Administration also an
nounced that a decrease OF % per cent
in wheat consumption in England had
been noted for July as a result of con-
seryation measures. The saving Is
being obtained largely through the in
teiigent cooperation OF women in the
homes, II is stated. although the COM
pulsory saving policy, applied to pub
lie esting-houses. has been a large
factor.

NVN COLLEGES
CAMPAIGN ENDS
N BLAZE OF GLORY.
Endowment Addition and
$4,000 Library Fund
Both Won.

The Wesleyan campaign to secure q
half million dollars which had been
conducted during the past two weeks
closed last night at Buckhannon amid
a blaze of glory, several thousand dol,
lars having been received over and
above the figures set for the campaign.
At the annual commencement exer'
cises held yesterday morning at the
college at which Bishop Franklin Ham
ilton, Of Pittsburgh, delivered the com.
mencement address, it was announced
that forty thousand dollars was yet
lacking to complete the fund and that a
message h;Dl been received from an
eastern patron to the effect that If the
money were raised in its entirety he
would donate the sum Of $4,000 for q
library for the institution.
This statement aroused the Tagging
spirits of the campaigners and they
at once went to work. Headquarters
were moved to the court house and q
meeting of the townspeople was held
there. At eight o'clock there yet lack
ed $4,000 of the desired fund. How
ever, hard and diligent work soon saw
the sum begin to grow and at ten
o'clock it was announced that $50l.OOO
had been secured and with this an
nouncement the crowd went wild ana
the students HE'D to the athletic field
where large bon fire was built and
the revelry was carried far into the
night.
Since the announcement that the
$5O1,00O had been received contribu-
tions have come in steadily until the
sum now will reach probably to seven
or eight thousand dollars above the
sum in addition to the $4,000 donated
for the library. Thus approximately
$3.50, 900 will be the sum secured as the
outcome of diligent campaign.
