UNIVERSITY OPENS OCT. 10.


In reply to the questions that have
been asked with regard to the Uni
verslty program in view of the wal
situation, and relative to the uncer-
tainty of students concerning their
highest duty in this time of stress, it
seems pertinent to make the following
statements:
The bureau of education of the de-
partment of the interior of the federal
government says:
We believe that all young men be-
low the age of liability to the selective
draft and those not recommended for
special service, who can avail them
selves of the opportunities offered by
our colleges, should be urged so to do
in order that they may be able to
render the most effective service both
during the full period of the war and
the trying times which will follow it's
close"
President Wilson, in his telegram
to the President of one of our state
universities, says:
81 see no necessity whatever fol-
suspending the sessions of the colleges
and universities and think such sus-
pension would be very much against
the public interest"
Colleges and universities are organ
lied primarily to train men and wo-
men for leadership in the various

Railroad and Warehouse Commission
Will Make Inventory of Telephone
Utilities in the State.
More than 10000 miles of telephone
toll lines will be valued by the Engine
ering division of the Minnesota Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission with
in the coming year. After two weeks
of preliminary instruction and coach
ing, three crews of practical telephone
men will begin next week to make a
detailed inventory of the toll lines in
Houston and Winona counties. Ad-
ditional crews will be organized as
soon as suitable men may be obtained,
and it is expected that by fall, nine
or ten crews will be at work.
The utmost care is required of the
field men in their work. Every pin
on the cross arms, every glass insula-
tor and the enumerable units of con-
struction must be counted and re-
ported. The size, quality and general
condition of all the poles, together
with the kind and position Of guys
and anchors are required for this in
ventory, in other words the detailed
data required by the Commission is
almost unlimited and the work of
gathering the information, necessarily
will be slow.
The purpose of this undertaking is
to ascertain the value of all the
telephone property in the State used
for toll purposes with view of OBJ
tanning a basis for determining the
reasonableness Of the prevailing rates
for toll service. The inventory figures
will be compiled, the value determined
by expert telephone men and statistic
ians and the final reports filed with
the. Commission.
Commissioner Charles E. Elmquist
accompanied the party to Winona in
order to inform himself on the me-
thods employed by the field crews in
obtaining the information desired by
the Commission. D. F. Jurgensen,
Chief Engineer of the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
is in charge of the entire work, and
will visit the crews from time to time
to see that they are following the
standards he has prepared.

The world needs wheat.
1t is depending on the United States
and Canada for it's supply. America
must divide what she has with the
other nations. To enable her to save
sufficient wheat, the University of
Minnesota bread-making experts have
perfected Liberty breads, each loaf OF
which saves from 20 to 35 per cent of
the amount of -four usually used. They
have provided cornmeal yeast bread.
Here are the proportions for one loaf:
One and one-fourth cups milk and
water, or water.
Two tablespoons sugar.
One tablespoonful fat.
Tive teaspoons salt.
Two-thirds cup of cornmeal.
Two and one-third cups flour.
One-half cake compressed yeast.
One-fourth cup warm water.

and bring to boiling point. Add corn
meal slowly, stirring constantly until
all is added. Remove from fire, cool
mixture, and add compressed yeast,

Rice Another Substitute.

NlCe AltOCHeF OuUStlCutc.
A recipe for the rice yeast bread
produces two loaves. The rice used
should be boiled in a large quantity
of water-some eight Or ten times as
much water as rice. This gives dry
rice which is an important factor in
the making of the bread after the fol-
lowing directions:
One cup milk.
Six tablespoons sugar.
Four tablespoons fat.
One and one-half teaspoons salt.
One-half cake compressed yeast
softened in one-fourth cup liquid.
Three cups boiled rice.
Eight cups flour.
