generally being encouraged; by <peo-
; pie Of other nationalities because the
celebration is intended to paw homage
to the very same ideals that have
been fundamental in the history of
the United States.
The constitutions of the. United

Chemistry Building Plans
Discussed at Afternoon
Session.

The state board of regents met in
their room at the university this
morning and devoted the entire fore
noon session to the transaction of
various routine business matters.
When the afternoon session started
at 2 O'Clock, it was found necessary
to adjourn to a larger DON because
of the presence of approximately %
contractors from a number Of cities
who had submitted bids for the cree
ton Of a new chemistry hall.
1t was the expectation of the re-
gents that they would be able to open
and examine all the bids at the after
noon session and conclude the. days
business with the awarding of on
tracts for the construction work.
Severa! other matters. of probably
more far-reaching Importance, may
come before the board tomorrow, and
although nothing definite has been
announced, it was presumed today
that the attitude Of the regents to-
ward the continued public speaking
of Col. McVey might be determined.
1t was also reported that the resig-
nation of President Steele of the Mi
not normal school would be discussed
by the board. but definite informal

|$e5,750 Subscribed Today
/, Making Present Total
$1s4,050.
ENTHUSIASM IS
STILL
Quota Of 1915, 900 is Expect
ed to be Oversubscribed-
All Money Accepted.

Despite the light rainfall which
kept a number of prospective buyers
, indoors, the second days Liberty
Loan campaign was productive of ex-
, cellent results. During the morning
subscriptions for $25,750 were made,
making a total of %s184.050 to date.
When the first lights at the base of
the Statue of Liberty were lighted last
night, they showed a total of $l5S,300
for the first days work.
The ain delayed the days sched-
ule slightly. but not enough to make
any serious difference in the work
planned for the week. The sales force
is so large and works so rapidly n
efficiently that the committee has
been able to dispose of more sales
daily than were contemplated. The
work progressed so rapidly yesterday
that the committee issued a state
Ment urging all buyers to visit head
quarters Immediately and make their
subscriptions.
The same splendid feeling evil
denced yesterday prevailed again to-
day. Men invited to call at head
Quarters today appeared at the sched-
MIS- for the allotted amounts without
* .ay. In a number of cases they
subscribed for much more than their
a4fottrnentS.
Members of the executive commit
tee again urged the Importance OF
over-subscribing the quota of $685.
900. The third loan is for $4,000, 0OO,-
600, but all over-subscrlptions are to
be accepted. In a speech at the open
ing of the campaign, Secretary Nc
Adoo said that the government de-
sired hat the a be over-subscribed
three or four times. Following this
announcement, officials of the Ninth
federal. reserve district issued a state
ment declaring that Il million sub
scribers were wanted in the district.
This means that Grand Forks. as we'll
as every other place in the district,
will have to greatly over-subscribe its
quota. If the work already done and
the feeling manifested ire any cri-
terra, the city will go over the top
with splendid results.

Should Know the Rules.

COLUMBIA, Mo, Feb. 26.-Ignorance
OF the rules and regulations of the
Food Administration is the plea OF
many merchants WIN have been SELL
Ing excessive quantities of -four and
sugar. Others have declared they had
received no official notification OF the
limitations on flour and sugar sales
and OF the rules requiring an equal
amount of other cereals to be sold
with every -four purchase.
VI have seen in the papers about
these Matters" II merchant wrote
f. b. Mumford, federal food admins
traitor for Missouri, "butsI have not
been officially notified that l should
follow these rules"
IGNORANCE of the rules is no ex-
cuse," Mr.. Mumford announced re-
Gently. "a personal notice to every
merchant in the state is not neces-
sary. When new laws are passed,
every individual is not notified per-
sonally that such laws have been
passed and should be obeyed by him.
"The announcement of the new
rules and regulations by the Food Ad-
ministration should be sufficient. No
other notice should be necessary. If
any retailer is in doubt about any OF
the regulations he car find ont about
them easily by consulting his county
food administrator.
In the last two weeks the office of
the state food administration has been
swamped with letters of inquiry, tele-
grams and telephone messages from
merchants and others regarding the
new food regulations. As soon as a
new regulation is made hundreds of
inquiries come pouring in. A bulle-
tin containing all the recent regula-
tons regarding the, sale and con-
sumption of food commodities is now
being prepared by the state food ad-
ministration.

Remedy For Smallpox.

A correspondent Of the Stockton,
CAL, Herald writes as follows
Herewith append q recipe, which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds OF cases. It will prevent or
cure the smallpox though the pittings
are filing. When Jenner discovered
cowpox in England the world OF
science hurled an avalanche OF fame
upon his head, but when the most
scientific school OF medicine In the
world-thst OF Paris-published this
recipe as a panacea for smallpox, 1t
passed unheeded. 1t IL as unfailing
as fate, and conquers in every instance.
It IL harmless when taken by q well
person. II will also cure scarlet few.
er. Hore it ID as I have used II to
cure the smallpox When learned
physicians said the patient must die,
It cured: Sulphate OF zinc, / grain;
foxglove (digitslis), l grain; u . tea
spoonful Of sugar. Mix with 2 table,
spoonfuls OF water. When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces OF water. Take
aspoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear In II hours. For q
child, smaller doses, according to age,
II counties would compel their physi.
clans to use this there would be no
need OF pesth ousea. Ifyou value ad.

To Curtail the Seed Corn Profteers.

The Missouri State Corn Growers
Association has set rs u bushel as a
fair price for pure seed corn of the
standard varieties. This action was
taken to Uhwart efforts of spectators
and protiters who we're taking advan-
tage of the seed corn shortage to
demand %exorbitant prices. In view
OF the wal emergency and the short
age of good seed corn the association
believes that a price OF rs a bushel is
fair for we'll selected, tested corn.
Farmers who ar- requested by profit.
eers to pay q higher price will do we'll
to take notice OF this action by the
corn growers. In many cases the
corn offered for sale by such men
will have been grown by members of
the Corn Growers Association and
consequently farmers should deal
directly with members OF this asso-
citation and avoid the KEGS profits
demanded by the interruptions seed
men.
