UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICE

Important changes in university
regulations have been made by the
faculty in order to prepare the way
for the big reconstruction program
that is being planned by the Univer-
sity Of Idaho.
/ The date of opening the new
quarter has been changed from Dec.
80 to Jan. 6 in order to make it pos
sible for the men in training camps
and in service to get to Moscow in
time to begin work. 1t is believed
! by the faculty that many men were
unaware of the quarter system and
that this change would give the uni
versity time to acquaint all prospec-
tive students of the opening date.
Arrangements to give university
credit to university men who have
been in the service of the govern
ment were also made. The exact
nature of the credit has not yet been
determined, but it is known that all
military training that has any edu-
cational value will be recognised by
the university officials. Thus men
who are in engineering, radio or
other technical branches of the SER
vice will robably be permitted to
graduate with the class they left.
This rule will also apply to new stu
dents entering the university.
No final examinations will be given
to university students this quarter.
The faculty realizes that the work
has been interfered with by the
quarantine to such an extent that
Lit has been impossible for the stu
dents to master their subjects and
that final examinations would be I'M
fair to the classes.
Many elementary classes will be
offered next quarter, according to
the statement of DR.. F. H. Lindley,
president of the university. These
courses will make it possible for stu
dents who have been doing war work
to enter the university at the beginn-
ing of the winter quarter. Every
effort will be made by the university
! faculty to help such students regain
the time lost while serving the gov
eminent.
The date of opening the short
course in forestry at the University
of Idaho, postponed from November
Ia on account of the influenza cpl
demic, has now been definitely fixed
as January /, and the course will
continue twelve weeks. This course
is planned to meet the needs of forest
rangers and guards; also Of
woodland owners and others en-
gagged in some branch of the
lumber industry, who wish to
acquire a knowledge of the
general principles of forestry. 1t
prepares for the civil service exam
! ination and anyone may attend who
has the equivalent Of eighth grade
preparation. The work is intensely
practical and is given by lectures in
the laboratory, and by actual field
demonstrations. A special effort will
be made to adopt the course to meet
| the requirements Of returned SOL
diers, wishing to take advantage of
it.. For further particulars address
School for Forestry University of
| Idaho, Moscow.

BY Mrs. Byrd Trego

Dor an incident happened that car
ries with It material for serious
thought. ..
A steamer bringing soldiers home
was lying in wait while transports
we're approaching with a welcoming
party which the major has arranged
for to meet each vessel bearing q
like burden.
One of the party in conversation
with the captain who had been deep
in the conflict said among other
things, "You will soon be marching
up Fifth avenue with the plaudits OF
the nation ringing about you" re
which the captain replied, 1--WE don't
want to march up FIFTH Ave., we've
been marching for a year and half,
neither do we want the plaudtts OF
the nation. We want to 90 home,
get a Job and go to work"
Ihis man has tasted victory over
the enemy and that is the biggest
thing the world has to yield to hui
man efforts. When the enemy forces
you to fight and you know your
cause is just, when you know you
are clean and he is dirty, the sue
cess that crowns your efforts is a
quality that stands alone in its e.

assure you. Whether the foe
seeks to enter the sacred portals Of
your home and destroy its spiritual
alter whose constant embers reach
to heaven, or IL the profane offense
be confined to the monument of lib
erty whose fires are kept brightly
Illuminating the world by such pat
riotism as we have recently wit
messed, the offense is the same de-
gree but larger in quantity as the
defense Is likewise. Your cause is
a holy one, your efforts sanctioned
by heaven and your victory the muir

FUTURE OF SUGAR INDUSTRY

The sugar beets grown in 1919
will be made into sugar to sell in
1920.
A fair price to be paid for crops
is agitAting growers and manufactur-
ers alike and will be affected by the
world supply of raw cane sugar.
The national sugars equalization
board has agreed to buy the entire
Cuban crop, estimated this year at
upward of 100000 tons, at $3.50
(. o. b. northern ports.
1t was planned to resell this sugar
one-third to the allies and two
thirds to American refiners.
If the refiners committed them
selves to the purchase of two-thirds
of the Cuban production, it might
obviously involve their buying more
than 100000 tons. fNsl.
| Refiners' stocks have been accum-
lating, and the estimated carry-over
for 1919 is 100000 tons.
Domestic cane sugar and beet pro-
duction, including Porto Rico and
Hawaii may reach 1850, 900 tons.
A possible supply of more than
100000 tons raw cane sugar, there
fore in sight for next year, compared
with a normal United States con-
sumption of around 100000 to
100000 tons.
A surplus of 100000 to 1,2O0,-
900 tons is thus indicated and re-
finers do not like the risk Of carry
ing and disposing of two-thirds of
the entire Cuban crop in the circum-
stances. 7Gs ~.
The above facts are taken from a
review of the sugar situation in the

RENEW THE EFFORT

A pulpit committee made a lengthy
report yesterday at the Baptist church
revealing that Rev. Wallace Wear had
declined to come here as pastor ac-
cording to an agreement which had
been reached earlier in the year. 1t
is not matter of public concern that
his reasons be paraded publicly. The
men who worked to secure this man
did so with the belief that he was quail
II fled in every way to make the church
and congregation just the leader need
ed
1t was quite disappointment to
both deacons and lay members to learn
that the final decision was averse And
yet, since developments have reached
their present stage, many feel that the
church here has lost nothing. 1t may
now proceed to secure a leader not
possessed in heart and soul of the
thought which finally kept the Flor
ida pastor from coming.
Since the church here has to go its
task all over again it is not amiss to
say there is place of importance to
fill. This reminder is dropped not be-
cause there has been any failure in
duty on the part of any one. We rath-
err believe every move has been faith
full and painstaking. There might DE
now some opportunity for naming be-
fore investigation, so anxious are the
deacons to fill the charge
The church has shown it's apprecia-
ton of the work of the pulpit commit

work may proceed with safe precis-
ion because the church members are
going to abide the results of an hon
est hunt for good pastor
The Baptists owe both congregation
and the city and community a good

which should have the services of a
capable man. EVERYBODY knows that

OUR FAIR NEXT

1t is pasttime for arranging pre-

are going to have even a much better
fair than we held last fall. 1t is go
ing to be show of our good products,
If ii lerves the purpose which the
government desires that it serve.
The government is impressing on
everybody the need of more food pro-
ducts and calls upon the fairs to make
the premiums stronger to encourage
food raising. Most of our food crops
for the year are in the making, but the
results are to be manifested at the
fair This brings greater interest and
educates where education is needed
The fair when made a food show
this year, including both live stock
and agricultural displays, can become
the best educator we may have in
the matter Of producing our own foods
1t is not necessary to stress this point
food chcw is what we want and all
we have to do now is to arrange for
our premium lists and go ahead.
There is not even the necessity of
raising a fund of any kind The fair,
judiciously managed, will quit with
the fair fund no less than it is now
and so, preparing the financial end is
no task
The dates fixed should place the
fair to follow the gathering of the larg-
er crops. Cotton should be out of the
way and other larger crops in order
that the fair may not interfere with
labor on the farms when gathering is
under way 1t will not be amiss to de-
eide upon plans for the premium list
right away. This list is needed by the
farmers and stockmen.
