fore the building is completed. 1t is
for the boys who will enter the col
lege in the years to come, that these
contributions will benefit.
Lately a campaign for total of
$4,000 for this building is meeting
with encouragement in many ways.
Notably among these successes was
the action taken last winter by the
state board of regents, who in view of
the policy of the local Y. M. C. A. in
charging no fee for membership, SIM
ply depending on voluntary gifts for
support, and in planning to grant full
privileges in the new building to ev-
cry registered A. C. student whether
he be member of the Y. M. C. A. or
not, voted to supply heat, light, water,
and janitor services for the building.
This was done in recognition Of the
valuable service such a building will
render to the student life, esecially to
the welfare of the men students dur
ing their out-Of-class hours.
Then in January, 1917, the new stu.
dents coming in this last year gave
$4,000 as their share. And the follow
ing month of February, the citizens of
Fargo contributed $4,000 which we'll
shows their interest in the young man.

The association is bending it's in
f1uence primarily toward the upbuild-
ing OF strong purpose of Christian SER
vice to home community in the realm
of the church, the Sunday school and
public school with its allied interests.
Y. M. c. A. work at the A. C. is help
ing the college to turn out men of
leadership who will go to all parts Of
the state and who believe with firm
conviction the man who really leads
is only he who lives to serve the vital
needs of men intellectually and I'M
selfshly.
With the Y. NJ. C. A: work in the
splendid roomy new building every A.
c. student will be insured a larger
guarding of the ideals and standards
he brings with him, a larger oppor-
tunity to grow in christian manhood,
through the experiences Of actual SER
vice work among his fellows, and a
larger and deeper incentive to live his
life first of all for others, rother than
for himself The spirit of self-giving
which has characterized the whole
worldwide Y. M. C. A. movement has
sent men forth from the A. C. in lat
er years with bigger motive and larger
vision, and now, as this work is about
to be strengthened by the addition of
this splendid equipment, it is the.

New Y. NJ C. A. Building for n D. Agricultural College

This building is to be erected during
the coming school year as a result of
a campaign for funds, waged by the
students of the Agricultural College
Y. M. G.. A.
Three years ago group of men,
members of the association cabinet,
recognized the need of better equip
ment for the Y. M. G. A. work at the
college, and at meeting in March,
1914, started the fund at the rate Of
500 per man. Six months later the
corner property, just east of the col
lege gateway was purchased, and
some months ago the students and fac
ulty, in response to the call of these
men, rose up and made their gifts for
a Y. M. G. A. building in the unpre-
cedented figures of $18,500. This
means that rs per cent of the entire
teaching force of the college individu-
ally endorsed this movement-with an
average gift per man of $6S. The stu
dents, to the number of 416 contribut-
ed an average of S35 per man. Out of
the regular students, college, high
school, and industrial course classes
-88 per cent endorsed this movement
by personal gifts, at an average of
$35 each.
This campaign for Y. N. C. A.
building at the A. c.. has begun at
home; $1S,5OO was raised by students
and faculty out of their own pockets
in February, 1916, before anyone out

HOW YOU CAN SPOT A GOOD
A. EXECUTIVE

"The higher up he is, the more de-.
pendent an executive becomes on
those under him. The real success CT
an executive, it seems to me, rests
on his ability to promote wisely, and
at the same time to keep the force
working in harmony and contentment
A little jealousy here and there in an
organization can ruin it's efficiency. l
have known men who had enough gen.
eral grasps of things to have made
great department managers, only they
could not get along tremendously with
those about them. If a man can't get
along pleasantly with his associates,
he cannot successfully handle force
of men. I never like to promote
man to a responsible place if he has
failed to work in hearty cooperation
with the men alongside of him. When
you hear men say to their boss: He
is a good fellow to work for you may
know he is successful executive"

TYPHOID fever

Typhoid fever is germ disease
that is easily transmitted by water
and milk and by the housefiy and
wherever it has a chance to be car
ried. Great care should be used in
guarding the water supply, so that it
cannot become contaminated from out,
houses. Personal cleanliness of ev-
eryone in the house is also an import
ant safeguard. The Chinese will not
eat without first washing their hands
This is good practise for all. If one
gets the hands in contact with the
typhoid germs which abound in what
comes from the person sick with ty.
phoid and then handles dishes or milk
utensils they can become contaminat-
ed and the disease passed on to Who
ever takes food or drink out Of the
dishes or utensils. The typhoid germs
may live for some time outside the
body. In/these days of extensive
travel the typhoid germs may be car.
ried for some distance within persons
who have come in contact with things
containing the germs. Cleanliness is
good preventive.

hood of our state.
Old alumni of the A. C. out over the
state, upon hearing of this movement
for Y. M. C. A. building have mailed
in checks to swell the fund. Others
have volunteered time and services to
help bring this effort to- speedy and
successful end. Men in every section
of the state are interested in this
movement, and are backing it up with
both moral and financial support. =
All funds contributed to this build
ing fund will be received and handled
entirely under the supervision of the
board of trustees.
And it is not surprising that stu
dents, faculty men, alumni, ex-stu-
dents and friends all over the state
would lend their support to an ad-
vance move of this kind. The N. D.
A. C. is the one point in North Dako-
ia where more men students are gath
cred together than in any other place.
Eight hundred men year (not to
count summer students) are to be
found at the A. C. There are more
students from the christian homes of
North Dakota at the Agricultural COL
lege than at any other educational in
stitution in the state. The census for
the past year shows these facts of
church membership and application as
follows: Lutheran 1852; Methodist

Oh, the days we worked and the
ways we worked
To hammer and saw and hack,
In making chair in which no one

A chair in which no one could possibly

Without a crick in his back.

Better than you or l.;
She wrote out receipts. and never

She wrote about children, Of course

WILLIAM MANLY GREENWOOD

Wednesday morning at about five
O'Clock, with his face to the rising
sun, our elder brother, William Manly
Greenwood passed to that bourn from
which no traveller returns. From the
days of our boyhood when he was our
leader and protector, until the last
few years when we have often enjoy
ed his generosity and the hospitality
of his home, time has never dimmed
the affection of brother for brother.
During all the years of his manhood
he was a tireless worker, never shirk-
ing a duty, and giving some of his
best years in the service of his coun'
try. We hope his reward will be that
of "Well done, good and faithful ser
want" We regret our inability to pen
a tribute commensurate with what he
gave as a loyal brother.

Uncle Sam knows what he's talking

Talk of the country,
You better be sure
It's going to grow,
And it's bound to endure.
Talk of the country; don't feel the
alarm
Of those that are seeking to do it some
harm.
Just you believe that it's right, and
you'll find
There are lots of your neighbors ex-
actly your mind.
Talk of the country,
Mouse to fear
The taunt OF the cynic,
The scott and the sheer.
Talk of your country; it's fine as you'd
WISH;
Bubbling and humming, it's old flag

Strong in each muscle and sound in

RECORD WEATHER

The weather man made a grand
slam Saturday. Not content with his
achievement he still continues to
serve red hot days. There is not
much promise of rain or predictions
that will bring relief very soon. The
thermometer here registered 112 Sat-
urday, and for the state is probably
averaged aroun 10. Even the oldest
inhabitants dried up and had nothing
to say about the hottest spells Of
previous years.

THE WEATHER

If it WASN'T for the weather, what
would we have to say
When we meet each other and pass
the time of day?
We say, "It's warm this morning, get
ting hotter every hour.
Before the day is over, think we'll
have a shower"
Or, Its very dry and dusty for the
month of June, -,
We hope for change of weather, it
cannot come too soon."
Or, "The northeast wind is blowing,
the lake is getting mad, -
This is the meanest weather, !
think, we ever had"
Or, "The weather is delightful, just
the proper thing,
OF this glorious climate of the north,
let us rise and sing"
Or, IF we are to have a picnic, then
it's sure to rain,
So we have the next fair day, as
they do in SPAIN"
Or the farmer walks out, looks about
and scans the sky all over,
'"The Gay SENS fair, with balmy air,
l think we'll cut some clover"
Or, "The frost is on the grass, the
wind is getting cold"
(These changes, they have always
been, for weather is very old.)
We have to take it as it comes, don't
blame the weather man,
He's trying hard to please us; doing
the best he can.
The weather is cratic, of hundred
different kinds,
Eitful, ever-changing, like men of
many minds.
Yes, life, as we have it, is somewhat
like the weather,
Quite a well-matched team-travel
we'll together;
But life soon tires of the pace, falls
down, quits the race
The weather goes on forever
throughout Time and Space.
So, if your lost for conversation, don't
know what to say,
Take the weather for topic, for it's
with us every day.
