DEPARTMENTS D|cN|F|ED
Business Administration
New Title Of University's
Commerce School.

Formal announcement was made
yesterday at the office Of President
Schcuch of the State University that
Chancellor Elliott had given his for
NAL approval to the change Of the
name of the department of commerce
and accounting to the department Of
business administration.
This change has been under con-
sideration by Chancellor Elliott for
several months. Its ultimate sanction
was forecasted by the appointment
last September. Of DIR. Harry Edwin
Smith as head of the department and
professor of business administration"
With the bulletin Of yesterday, As
comes assistant professor of business
administration.
The change is something more than
mere change in name. 1t carries
with it broadening of the scope Of
the department and the addition of
greater dignity. Last September
there were radical changes made in
the curriculum of the department. its
standard was raised materially by the
elimination of certain courses and the
addition of others. 1t is proposed to
build this department into a close re-
lationship with the banking and bust
ness interests of the state. 1t was
with this idea in view that Dr. Smith
was brought here from the University
of the Montana work. In this depart
ment as in the other vocational schools
and departments at the university,
Service" will be the keynote.

With Enthusiasm Of National
Meeting in Chicago.

Dean Whitsock of the Montana
school of law is back from Il visit in
Chicago and Kentucky. In Chicago
he attended the annual meeting of the
American Association of Law Schools,
of which the Montana school is a
member Professor Neff of the Mon
tana faculty was also n delegate.
Professor Langmaid, formerly of Mon
tana and now at Tulane. was there.
1T was the largest and best meet
ing the association has ever had"
said Dean Whitlock yesterday to a
Muscular reporter. "All of the MEM
bership was represented except the in
stitutions on the Pacific coast; their
delegates got caught in the snow
blockade and were unable to reach
Chicago in time. Professor Neff just
managed to get through the storm;
he missed only the first session.
There was enthusiasm in every
meeting. Two or three changes were
made in the constitution this year. all
looking toward raising the standard
of the work in the schools of the assoc
citation. Standards of admission in
particular, are receiving attention.
At the conclusion of the association
meeting, Dean Whitlock went down
into Kentucky for a visit at his old
home. on the way back to Montana,

CARRIERS SERVE, many
Estimate Population b,
Number of People Served
by Each Carrier.

Between 1900 and 1900 people are
served by each of the city carriers of
Missoula, according to figures COM
piled by Postmaster Lister. There are
10 letter carriers in the city and they
serve 3,45O houses. There is one par
GELS post man who does nothing but
deliver parcels post packages. but he
has the whole city for a route.
Many business men prefer to have
postoffice boxes, instead Of using the
carrier service. and there are at pres
ent about 900 small boxes and $50 Of
the larger boxes in use.
According to the estimate of num-
Der of people served by each carrier.
the population of Missoula is over
Is, 900. this system of estimating being
used in many cities. The system
used by tho United States census
gives practically the same results as
the rostoffice estimate gives, the gov
eminent bureau estimating five peo-
pie to every house.
Ten carriers serving from 1900 to
l,50o people apiece allow for an esti-
mate of over $1,000 inhabitants. taking
into account those who are using post
office boxes, while according to the
government census, based on five peo-
pie to every house, the population
would be about 10000 or more.
Missoula has fewer letter carriers
than any of the other large cities of
the state. Butte has s., while Great
Falls and Helena have ii apiece. each
of them serving from 1900 to 1900
people. Missoula's present delivery
force is over worked and the post
master has made attempts to have adj
ditional carriers Put on in the city, as
they are badly needed.
Some of the carriers take in big
bunch all at once, like the one who
handles the university route while
others have widely scattered territory.

there being no less than 413 possible

nearly 400 places, while the most of
the others average well over 800, only
two carriers having less than that
number of possible stops. On routes
Nos. 10 and 6. there are 272 and 277
houses that are served by the letter
carriers.
MissoulA gets an unusually larfee

TO SAVE RODS.

Frank H. Zouck, chairman of the
State Roads Commission, is starting
a campaign to bring about lessen
ing of the damage done to State
Roads by heavy motortrucks. He eX-
plains in a statement that the roads
were never built with a cOntempla-
ton Of such heavy trucks being used
on them The wear from these trucks
is so heavy that the cost of maintain
ing the roads over which they travel
is almost prohibitive
Asked whether he thought he could
stop the use of the heavy trucks, Mr..
Zouck said:
There was a man who tried to
hold a calf by catching on to its tail.
The calf started to run and pulled the
man along with it. Another man
said, Let him go; don't you see you
can't stop him." The man holding
ON to the tail of the calf replied, Il
know | can't stop him, but | can slow
him up a bit That's the present
case"

compromise which, with a few yer,
bal changes, are not inapplicable tt
the European situation today, wher
some people imagine that all the
principles involved might be discard
ed and that the only important thing
is to stop the fighting. Mr.. Lincoln
said:
The national resources, then, are
unexhausted, and we believe mex
haustiDle. The public purpose to es-
tablish and maintain the national
authority is unchanged, and, as we
believe, Interchangeable. .
He (Davis) would accept nothing
short of severance of the Union
precisely that we cannot and will
not give. Between him and
us the issue is distinct, simple and
inflexible. 1t is an issue which can
only be tried by war and decided by
victory. If we yield we are beaten;
if the Southern people fail him he is
beaten. The war will cease on
the part of the Government whenever
it shall have ceased on the part OF
those who began it.
The difference between our case
then and that of Europe now is that
the United States claimed to be sup
pressing an instruction, instead OF
lighting a sovereign nation. But the
question of fighting to a finish or
the contest, and aDan-
loning all the principles for which
he war had been undertaken in or
Ter to stop the fighting, is alike in
Record.

Sour Soil and the Wheat Crop.

With the exception of barley, wheat
suffers more from sour lands than
any of our common cereals. 1t is es-
pecially important to test all land to
be seeded in wheat and apply lime if
sour, because sou not only get a
larger yield OF gram but timothy and
clover are usually seeded III wheat,
and one or both may fail on sour
soils
The Ohio experiments show that
lime does not take the place of fer
uliZer or manure, but it supplements
them. The experiments further
show very strikingly that when lime
and fertilizers are used on the same
land the yield of crops is greater than
the sum of the yields from the two
used separately. However, if lime
is used alone and no provision is
made for maintaining the supply of
organic matter and plant-fOOd in the
soil, the crop yields cannot be main
tanned, and the yields from the use
of lime in such a system fall off
rapidly and many finally drop below
that of unlimed land. Manures, both
green and stock manure, and fertil
iZers should be used with lime. Lime
is best applied with a lime and fer
tiiiZer distributor just after the land
is DlOWed

LINCOLN AND PEACE.

In the early part Of our civil war
France undertook to effect a combin-
alton with Great Britain and Russia
10 enforce peace upon US. But Great
Britain and Russia drew off from the
project, and Napoleon III pushed it
"l0ne, and received a. very definite re-
!sal in a note from Secretary Sew
ard. Later he resumed the project,
and. our Government again refused to
tolerate any intervention in our war.
We knew what we were fighting for,
and we refused to consider the ending
of the war short of the attainment OF
our object.
In 1864 and the early months oil
1865 various compromise propositions
were urged here and there. The sen
ION Frank P. Blair went to Richmond
and talked to jefferson Davis, but as
Davis would only authorize HeSoIld
lions for the interests of ''the two
countries" and Mr.. Lincoln would
negotiate only for the interests o
our one common country" nothing
was accomplished There were fulfil
negotiations at Fortress Monro
which Lincoln himself attended. Tn

The very accurate work maintained
by the division of records and re-
search of Tuskegee Institute, Ala

suits, each year, of that form Of dead
the general term Of "lynching." Last
years record shows that in 1916 there
were "a lynchings. Of those lynched
so were negroes and four were
whites This is four less negroes
and nine less whites than were
put to death in 1915, when the
record was 81 negroes and l3 whites.
Included in the record are three wo-
men.
Fourteen or more than one-fourth
of the total lynchings occurred in the
State of Georgia. OF those put to
death A., or II per cent of the total,
were charged with offenses other than
rape The charges for which whites
were lynched were murder, 3; sus-

THE FARM LOAN BANK.

The last decade has witnessed a
notable charge in the relations be
tween the Department OF Agriculture
and the individual farmer, says the
Baltimore News:
Time was when the Government 5
advice gratis was regarded as olhcl-
BUSINESS Moreover, the advice, while
gratis, was usually to be had only
on specific application for it, or else
furnished in the form of technical

phlets the subjects OF which might
or might not hit your own special
problem.
But little by little both the Gov
eminent and the farmer have learned.
| The ground is only scratched as yet
speaking from the standpoint OF nigh
| " developed paternalism; but, never
/ theless, astonishing progress has been
made. on the one hand, toward being
practically helpful and on the other
toward appreciation and confidence.
We may deduce from it the prom
| Use of similar success for the rural
credit system. In the West, where
farming is distinctly commercial and
on a correspondence Well-deVeloped
business basis, success may come
quickly. In the East, the region OF
small farms and not over much agrl-
cultural finance, we hardly believe 1t
will reach its height within consider
able preliminary education.
This city. is. of course, to be con
graduated over it's selection as one or
of the Farm Bank centers. AS the
system erOWs, Baltimore ought TO be
drawn more and more closely In
touch with the agricultural field cen
tered here. And yet Maryland, Penn
svlyania. Delaware, Virginia, West
VIRGINIA and the District of Columbia
do not compose a district Of eXalte1
agricultural possibilities. Its farms
are old and we'll established. 1t IS
fairly thickly populated, with good

things to be remembered. But he

basis of the system. That its deVel-
opment requires considerable educa-
tional effort goes without saying. 1t
is very satisfactory to have one OF the
banks located here; but to get full
profit from it means missionary work

WAR WRECKS ARE MADE OVER
Remarkable Operations Being Per-
formed on Wounded Soldiers OF
European BattletieldS.

Operations by which important and
even vital parts of the human body,
shattered or completely shot away,
have been rebuilt or replaced are
now among the commonplace events
of the military hospitals Of Europe.
In the hospitals in England the
science of surgery has reached
heights heretofore undreamed Of,
thanks largely to the efficient direc
ton of Sir Alfred keogh, director
general of the British army medical
service From the beginning of the
War Sir Alfred has Impressed uron
his subordinates the necessity OF the
say ing of the limbs of wounded Sol
diers when it is at all possible, in
order that the patients may remain
useful members of the community
and not become public charges.
Amputations are now avoided in
thousands of cases where two years
ago they would have been considered
absolutely necessary. Marvels have
also been accomplished in the new
nerve surgery, which has been devel-
oped as a result of the vast multitude
of cases in which the nerves have
been severed.
Sir Alfred Keogh, the director OF
the army medical service of Great
Britain, is in his sixtieth year, and is
the son of a Roscommon barrister
He gained his first experience in
wartime surgery during the South
African conflict, when he was in
charge of a general hospital. His
work was so efficient that he was
awarded several medals, and in 1904
became director general of the ser.
vice. He retired in 1909, but return.
ed to the head of the medical ser,
vice when the war broke out. Sill
Alfred has been the recipient of many
honors from the medical and scien
tific organizations.
