THEY NAY PAY
MORE FOR GRUB
Agricultural College Likely
to Advance Student
Board Bill

Because the cost of groceries and
other edibles have increased almost
100 per cent over the beginning OF the
last biennium, students who eat at
institution boarding houses in the
several state normals. the AGRICULTURAL
college and the state university, face
the possibility of having to feed less
or pay more.
The price OF board at these state
owned and operated eateries runs from
80 to $3.50 per week. The minimum
price is enjoyed by students who dine
a la family, with the grub all on the
table, and but one Of their number
serving and another presiding at the
head Of the table. Where student watt
ers are utilized and trifle more style
adopted, the weekly rate Is rs to SO
cents higher
Secretary Brewer Of the board of
regents now is in correspondence with
the heads of institutions maintaining
boarding houses relative to the prob
able necessity OF an increase in rates
and students may as we'll prepare to
cut down on fudge or on solid grub.

Seventeen Declare Intention
Seventeen Declare Intention
of Participating in Fort
Smelling Work.

Despite the slush and rain, the sec
ond drill of Fargo civilians, preparing
for military service, witnessed a dou-
bling of the number Of participants
Tuesday evening. The Fargo branch
of the Military Training Camps asso-
citation worked out at Co. B armory.
The next drill will be held Thurs
day evening at the armory. It is ex-
pected that fully 200 men will be re-
| ceiving military instruction by the end
of the week.
The group last night was made UP
Of business, professional and laboring
men, elderly men, young men and
boys still somewhat under age. Some
will go to Fl. Smelling for the three
reserve corps. Others are too young
to enlist in any branch Of the service
at this time, but want to be ready
when the time arrives when they can
enlist. Still others want the drill in
case the time comes when the govern
ment will have to accept men OF older
age. They will then be out OF the
awkward" squad at least. .....-
The men who have entered the work
prove that they are in 1t for business.
The closest attention is given and
rapid progress is being made. One
prominent business man said last
night after the drill was over: 81 may
be too old for the first line that goes
out in this war, but the time may come
when l will be needed, and IL that time
comes. / want to know as much as
possible in order that 1t will take just
as little time as possible to make a
soldier out Of me-"
AS soon as weather conditions per-
NIT, drilling will be done out OF doors,
when more extensive evolutions in
close and extended order can be I'M
dertaken. Last evening instruction
was given by Major G. A. Fraser,
of the squad leaders of Company B,
First n. d. infantry.
Seventeen expressed their intention
of going to the training camp at Fl.
Smelling. Dean r. p. Robinson, presi-
dent of the organization, held a con-
ference with them after the drill.
