The Chicago Tribune very properly
observes that duty of the citizen does
not stop with shoveling the snow off
your sidewalk. With the tremendous
amount of snow soon to melt the hope
of preventing food is to see that the
cutters are properly opened. The sug-
gestion applies to the people of Edger-
ton as well.
The local basketball enthusiasts
have not had the privilege of seeing a
game for several weeks. Opportunity
will again present itself on Friday
night of this week when the local high
school five will meet the. team repre-
senting GAINESVILLE high school. James
vile always has good team and the
locals put in extra time to prepare for

expected as the fact that GAINESVILLE is
to oppose an Edgerton team always
lends added interest.

Right now before the spring months
are past, every farmer who has wood

to those people who have access to
wood. Indications point to the fact
that coal stringency will be even more
acute next winter and it is we'll to take
notice of the conditions early.
President Van Hise, who recently
had been asked by the war department
how many men could be cared for at
the university, and who had answered
between 1900 and 5000, was notified
Thursday by Secretary of War Newton
D. Baker that the university's offer
had been accepted and cantonment to
quarter 5000 men would be established.
Barracks for housing the men will be
erected Immediately. The site, al
though not definitely decided upon, will
likely be on the lower campus, adjoin-
ing the historical building and directly
opposite the gymnasium.
