U|INDE['RTAKERS
MEET ON u"
CAMPUS TODAY
Address of Professor Hohen-
shuh is Feature of Second
Day Session.

! The second day Of the convention
Of the North Dakota Funeral Direc-
tors association opened at science
hall at the university this morning
when Dean H. E. French Of the uni
versity medical school welcomed the
visitors to the university campus.
uled to appear before the convention,
did not speak as he was detained
in Bismarck where he was called on
Tuesday in regard to legislative mat
tiers.
Following Dean French's talk, an
informal discussion occupied the time
of the members, at which various
business matters were taken up.
President; j.. w. Calnan gave a
short address of welcome to Professor
Hohenshuh. we'll known lecturer and
demonstrator at this kind of a con-
vention, who spoke to the audience
or matters of pertinent interest with
regard to their profession. His talk
was largely technical and took up
various phases of the work from the
technical standpoint.
Professor Hohenshuh was given a
most cordial welcome by the
ton ensemble. His appearance at
the meeting at the university today is
probably his last in North Dakota. as
he a made a decision to abandon
his platform work entirely. He is
probably one of the most noteworthy
and interesting speakers on this kind
Of subject that has appeared in
North Dakota, and members of the
convention endeavored to show their
appreciation Of his talk in a fitting
manner
This afternoons sessions Of the con-
vention will be featured by a further
address from Professor Hohenshuh,
and by talks by DR.. c. j. McGurren,
secretary of the state board of health,
and J.. H. GRADER.

c. MCCONNELL GIVES TALK

Rev. c. NJ. Mcconnell, principal Of
the rural churches Of Lakeville, Ohio,
spoke before the Commercial club at
its bi-weekly dinner last night. MI.
Mcconnell emphasized the point
throughout his speech. that the
church must represent the entire
community. Measure the success of
the church by the success of the COM
munity," he said, adding that If the
place has good yoads, good education
al features, and good honest business
men, the church as we'll as the COM
munity must be a success.
After discussing the work Of his
church, he mentioned several reasons
why the country church cannot be
abandoned. Prominent among these
was that there is undoubtedly a feel
ing Of unrest and dissatisfaction
among all classes, and that the farm
ing classes present a fine hotbed for
stray weeds. Here, he said, is where
the church must play it's part, by
vigorously working for social and
economic justice and letting the men
make their own decisions.

Captain Oscar g. Holm Writes Thet
!. His Men Are Treated Well BY the
villagers-3srd Division Bay Be
Among Last Home.

Oscar G. Holm, captain Of the 130th
infantry of the 33rd division, which ts
now stationed in Luxembourg, writes
to,J. b. Wineman from the village Of
Moestroff. The letter was dated
January 10, and in 1t he describes the
country where he is stationed.
He writes of Luxembourg as a
small. peaceable country. about the
size of a large farm in North Dakota,
or about 1,400 square miles. The
scenery, he says, is beautiful, and 1t
was during his travels through hat
section that George Barr McCutcheon
received his inspiration for his novels,
Beverly Of G~raustark." and "Grau-
stark" >. $50. te -,
The men, Captain Holm says. are
we'll taken care of. 1.-THE people tpeat.
us very well, which adds to our COM
fort. The boys are all billeted in
W comfort to give the boys room in
their houses. The large towns are
very clean, compared with some I
have seen in France. Most OF the
people speak English, French, Bel
gian and German. English is taught
in the high schools, during a period
of six years."
Captain Holm describes the high
ways and railways of Luxembourg as
being extremely we'll kept. The
roads, he says, are all paved with
crushed rock, and village streets are
covered with cobble stones. The rail
service he says compares f~avorably
with hat in America, except that the
coaches are only about one-fourth
the size of the coaches in America.
He describes the farms of the viii
layers as only square pieces Of lands,
and the houses are grouped in a viii
lage near the farm plots. THE liy-
ing house and the barn are built In
one. and are built of hand-cut rock.
A door leads from the kitchen Into
the barn, which is almost always
open. OF course these are villages,
and this does not apply to the city
homes" Electric lights are used
everywhere in Luxembourg, the writ
small streams is utilized for the
| electricity, and both houses and
streets are lighted in this way.
One point that particularly inter-
ested Captain Holm. was the size OF
the monthly light bills. They pay
; the light bill by the month at about
and the light is turned on from 5 p.
m. until 1880 p. M"
Captain Holm said hat he had
heard that. the 41st division was
"homeward bound" but hat he ex-
pected the 33rd to be about the last
n to leave foreign soil. Rumors.
| he said, were about that the 33rd
| might go to Russia, and he concludes
with the we'll known and pathetic
phrase that somebody is always TAX
ing the Joy out of life"

'U' COUNCIL
TO |! DECIDE ON
R. 0 I. c. PLAN
At Meeting Held Tomorrow
Special Committee Will
Report on Proposition.

At the regular meeting Of the uni
versity council to be held at the uni
versity at a o'clock tomorrow after
noon, the matter of the establishment
Of an r. O.. T. C. unit at the institu-
ton will be fully discussed. A report
Of the special committee, appointed
it the last meeting, of the council. to
look into the r. o. T. c. plan SO that
members Of the council might have
further info NATION bearing directly
upon the proposition and a more clear
understanding of the matter, will be
heard. The committee includes DR..
E. j. Babcock, DR.. G. A. Abbott and
DR.. o. G. Libby.
Should the council at it's meeting
decide against the establishment OF
Their. O.. T. c. unit at the university.
the matter Of the proper utilization Of
the drill hall recently erected upon
the university campus to accommo-
date male students taking military
training, will come up. The financing
Of the erection Of the drill hall was
borne by a number of business men
Of Grand Forks, with the understand
ing that an appropriation would with
out doubt be secured from the legis-
lature late on to GOV its cost ana
reimburse the hackers
Should the r. O.. T. c.. unit not be-
come a reality at the university, it is
deemed probable hat the business
men who backed the building will be
delayed in securing a return of their
money.
Members of the board Of regents
are thought to be generally in favor
Of the establishment of the r. O. T.
C. unit. 1t is stated that NJ. Muir
has expressed himself favorably on
the proposition, and Others are known
to entertain favorable opinions.
President T. F. Kane, who is in Bis
marck today in connection with an
educational bill now up before the
legislature, is expected to arrive in
the city some time tonight or early
tomorrow mo ming to be present at
the meeting of the university council.
Military training at the university
was carried on last year and funds
for the necessary military equipment
and the salary Of a properly equipped
military instructor came out of the
general university salary budget. BY
the establishment of the r. o. T. c.
unit, it is stated. the war department
of the U. S. government would bear
q large share of this expense to the
university, furnishing the necessary
arms for drilling and detailing a gov
eminent officer for duty as an in
structor at the institution.

Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1919-08-08

To Middleburys indebtedness to the
late Col. Silas A. Ilsley as a public
benefactor there will now be linked a
deep gratitude also to his widow, Mary
E. Ilsley, whose announcement of a
$4,000 additional gift for the Ilsley
library will assure a fine memorial, and
make certain its early completion Mrs
Ilsley could certainly have chosen no
more appropriate outlet than this for
her generosity, for it is not only a
proof that she heartily shared in her
late husbands philanthropic program,
but the total of $4,000 now available
will give Middlebury a building truly
fitting for the purposes designed. In
these days of enormous costs of
building materials, it will not go any
too far, and the suggestion from other
quarters that Mddlebury village should
show its appreciation by furnishing the
site for the building is one which the
Register commends to the voters.
Surely the village does wish to have
this much share in an Llsley memorial,
and thus leave all of the $4,000 to put
into the building itself
