Grand Forks. N. D.. Oct. 22.-The
University of North Dakota is
fiourishing in spite of the war. Prior
to the opening of the school it. was
generally believed that the ENROLL
ment would be materially less than
that of former years.
1t has been gratifying to find that
after two weeks os school the en-
roliment has decreased only 8 per
cent as compared with the enroll
ment Of last year. A. large number
of the men of the junior and senior
classes are at present in the. serv-
ice of the United States so that the
upper classes are considerably
smaller than they were last year.
This is in part counteracted by the
large freshman enrolment this year.

HOUSTON, Texas, May IA, 1917.-
Gentlemen: You will find enclosed
remittance for the Mexico Ledger.
We find much pleasure in keeping in
touch with old friends and acquain-
tances.
We are all real well, and getting
along first rate. Weather here is
ideal summer now. People are par
ticipating in the pleasures of the
surf, which is very agreeable as well
as beneficial, for old and young. Gal
weston, l believe, is the favorite re-
sort which is fifty miles from Hous-
ton.
Crops here are unusually good.
However, this, Harris county, is not
considered a farming country. The
Governments inducement to farmers
here caused much more cultivation
this season. Truck farming and cot
ton are very promising. Texas is
just realizing the necessity for a
greater need of food stuffs, and is
getting very ambitious along that
line. All vacant lots and fields are
being put to use in the way Of gar
dens. As everyone feels the scream
ing need of cheaper living.
A great man of our prominent men
have enlisted and have gone to the
training camps. When sufficiently
trained, they will go to Europe to
help in this terrible war. And many
of the women, too, have shown their
devotion to the cause by joining the
Red Cross, and will aid in nursing the
wounded soldiers. Texas, l believe,
stands in the lead in regard to enlist
ments, and has proven her loyalty all
through the State. No doubt Mis-
souri, is equally as enthusiastic Tor
more SOY according to her size. l
am a Missourian, and must stand by
her. Kind regards,

PLANS MADE FOR MOB
LIKING RESOURCES OF
ALL WESTERN RAILROADS


Plans for mobilizing the resources
Of all Western railroads for national
defense and including the immediate
curtainment Of passenger service was
started Friday at a meeting in st.
Louis of the heads and presidents Of
the railroads.
This action will be taken following
the appeal Of the War Board Of the
American Railway Association call
ing on all railroads of the country to
adjust their service in order to get the
maximum. transportation energy for
moving fuel, food material and troops.
The notice Of the War Board to the
railroads is as follows:
l.. Consolidate where practicable
through passenger train service and
eliminate those trains which are not
well patronized.
2. Reduce the number Of special
trains and give up running excursion
trains.
8. On branch lines, where two
trains are operated, try to reduce to
one train a day.
a. Where practicable, substitute
mixed train service for separate pas
senger and freight service on branch
lines. Closely review number of
scheduled freight trains where ton
mage is insufficient to load them fully,
with a view to reducing the number OF
trains.
5. Where passenger trains are
double-headed for speed, a readjust-
ment of schedules or cutting off OF
ears, where possible, will release To-
comotives for freight service.
6. Reduce as far as practicable lux
uries such as observation cars. In
the interest Of economy, reduce the
present rather elaborate and luxuri-
Gus bills Of fare on many dining cars .
Z. Move company" freight on un-
derloaded trains. Operate work trains
as far as possible in slack times. Store
coal in slack times.
8. Make proper train loading Of
primary Importance with officials and
train crews. Give publicity to those
making good and poorI records.
