SEEK
ARMY TRAINING
Present Selves to Augustana Col.
Iege Office for Service at Fort
Sheridan Camp.

Twelve Augustana students were
present at the college office this
morning seeking to enlist in the
students reserve officers training
corps at Fort Sheridan, which Of
fers a 60-day intensive training
course for those who wish to be-
come assistant military instructors
in colleges.
Provision is made for one repre-
sentative for every 25 male stu
dents attending the college the year
previous. According to this, Au-
gustana should have six represen-
tatives, as the number of male stu
dents attending last year was 13l.
Considerable stir was caused
among college authorities by an
nouncement of the fact that Knox
college at Galesburg, with slightly
larger enrolment than Augustana,
is to send IS representatives to the
camp. AS Instructions are inter
preted by Dr. G. A. Andreen, presi-
dent of Augustana, such number
would seem to conflict with gov
eminent requirements, while If
In6T6 Is NO COIIHICIb II - Cd4SUldlCO
that the number of Augustana's
representative should be raised to
Is or thereabouts No definite
statement as to the exact number
Augustana may send has been re-
ceived from the government and DR..
Andreen this morning telegraph
ed officials in charge, advising
number of Augustana' male en-
rollment and how many men to
send. An effort will be made TO
send as many as possible to the
camp.
Students OF the institution are
more than eager 10 accept the prop
osition and letters and kilograms
are pouring in constantly. The
proposal of the government is that
recruits enlist for the course and
receive the same equipment and re-
Enumeration as an army private for
the two months engaged in train
ing. Upon returning to school the
student will then be given a posi-
ton as assistant military instruc-
tor while attending college. He Is
subject TO call at a moments no
tice and is considered a part of the
regular forces OF the government
Augustana boys are delighted with
the proposition and the prospect is
that there will be many times as
many applications as appointments.

GOES WHEATLESS.

At a meeting Of the county food
administrators of Montana, held at
Helena on May 20, the subject of
wheat supply was discussed in de-
tail. 1t was finally moved, seconded
and unanimously carried that Mon
tana should go on an absolutely
wheatless basis until July l. Wheat
less is defined as the use of no
wheat products in the homes and
no sale of wheat products by deal
ers during this period.
It is understood that the baker
shall be allowed to continue baking
victory bread, but this will be the
only semi-wheat commodity in the
form of bread that shall be allowed.

Things Worth Knowing.

Paint that sticks to glass can be
removed with hot vinegar.
If you have a bottle of poison in
your medicine cabinet, tie a ribbon
or string with a little bell attach
ed around the neck of the bottle.
If you at any time go to take out a
bottle when dark, you will hear the
little bell tinkIe its warnings.
When making a silk bag to carry
crocheting or knitting, if it is i'm
possible to keep the celluloid han
dies from slipping, put a piece of
adhesive tape around the handles
as far as you wish to shirr the silk,
then shirr the bag over this and 1t
will be a perfect success.
Uses of BOraX-BoraX water will
instantly remove all soils and
stains from the hands. To make it,
put some crude borax in a large
bottle and fill with water. When the
borax is dissolved, add more to the
water, until at last the water can
absorb no more and a residuum re-
mains at the bottom of the bottle.
To the water in which the hands
are to be washed pour enough from
this bottle. Make 1t quite soft. By
its use the hands will be kept in
excellent condition, smooth, soft
and white.
Never wash windows when the
sun is shining upon them. They will
be cloudy and streaky from dry
ing before they are well polished.
Use a little ammonia in the water.
If you squeeze lemon juice on
rust stains on the spots of the dry
garment and hold II over the steam
ing spout of a tea kettle that Is full
of boiling water, the stains will dis
appear.
