him from practically every institution

would subscribe their quotas and
many of them promising oversubscrip-
tions.
The quota for the states institu-
tons. including colleges, universities
and business colleges, has been set at
a minimum of s62,500. When the quo
ia was established the committee made
an estimate of what it would take to
reach it. They found that if the facul-
ty members would give 10 per cent of
one months salary, S. A. T. c. men
S. each and all other students $3.50
each the minimum quota would be
reached.
To make up for the deficit that may
occur, all student organizations such
as the Y. NJ. C. A, the Y. W. C. A.
alumni associations. fraternities and
sororities are asked for contributions
from their treasures.
Each institution is expected to per-
feet its own internal organization for

Use LATE POTATOES FOR SEED
Experiment Show Their Superiority
for This Purpose.

An excellent second" or late crop
of potatoes has been grown this year
in many parts of the state These
potatoes will be somewhat immature
when dug, because the growing sea-
son is cut short by cold weather.
Such potatoes are excellent table
stock, but whenever possible they
should be saved for next years seed.
Experiments have shown the supe-
riority of such immature tubers for
seed purposes. and if these potatoes
are planted next spring, they will gen.
orally excel paintings from old home
grown or Northern-grOwn seed, both
in earliness and yield, according to
J. T. Rosa, Jr., of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Therefore, gardeners and truck
growers who have a late crop of po-
tatoes this fall should save as much
of it as possible, either for their own
use or for sale, he says.

NEW PAY SYSTEM FOR SOLDIERS
.PaybOOks' Enable Them to Collect
Salary on Time.

PARIS, Oct. 2 (By MaiD.-Under
the new pay book" scheme recently
started American soldiers no longer
will have to wait months for their pay
because their service records happen
to be delayed or irregular.
Each soldier will be given a little
book, which will have almost the
facility of handbook in enabling him
to collect from Uncle Sam. At the
beginning of every month, the holder
of pay book" can collect the past
months pay promptly. Another radi-
cal innovation provides that men ar
irving in leave areas may collect
their pay for fractional parts of a
month. The pay book" scheme al
ready has been approved by the con-
troller of the treasury and general
headquarters, and is scheduled to be
in use this month.

Keep Up Morale, and Yanks

Are Told.
ST. LOUISANS SPEAK
War Couldn't Be Won With
out Y. NJ. c. A. and Red
Cross, Is Word Given.

A plea fer suppression of all de-
nominational feeling in the United
War Work campaign was voiced to
small gathering of Columbia minis
tiers and war work leaders yesterday
The appeal was voiced by two st.
Louis pastors, the Rev. Benjamin
Young, pastor of the Union NJ. E.
Church, and the Rev. z. p. Phillips,
rector of the st. Peters Episcopal
Church. Both of them have seen ser
vice in Y NJ. c. A. uniforms, and Mr..
Young has three sons in service
THE war could not be won without
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Red Cross
said Mr. Young.
THE Y. NJ. c. A. is home, brother,
even mother to the boy away from
home in the Army.
Without the preservation of NOR
ale, tomorrow disaster will come.
With the morale of the Army upheld,
our men will march across the Rhine
and into Berlin to save the world from
'POtsdamnation'
THE idea of a combined campaign
for the seven organizations included
IN the present movement. although
suggested by President Wilson. was
originally urged by business organi-
ZatiOns throughout the Nation"
Mr.. Phillips added his appeal that
denOminatiOnal lines be kept out of
the campaign.
IF you don't believe in this unified
enterprise. don't go cut to solicit at
all he said.
The Y. VI. c. A. the Knights of
Columbus and the Jewish Welfare
Board are all doing the same thing
keeping the boys in touch with
home and keeping away every I'M
toward thing.
1--WE have the cleanest army in the
field"
The speaker said the men who have
laid down their lives in the war thus
far challenge the living TO see that
the war is carried to a successful con-
