OXFORD AGAIN ON
GO AFTER A LONG
QUIETNESS SPELL

Oxford, Eng.-Oxford university
is once again alive after four years
of war quietude. Twelve hundred
undergraduates are in residence,
many still in khaki, some on
crutches, others lacking a limb.
Rhodes scholars are expected to
arrive in record numbers very soon.
Problems face the authorities how
ever. Overcrowding is feared,
changes of education are demand
ed and already a large proportion
of the students want to take up
chemistry and science while a still
larger portion are studying history
instead of classics. The authorities
are said to be perturbed at the
upheaval facing them.
Outwardly the colleges show lit
tie change from pre-war days. The
trenches and other signs of war
training have disappeared and
scouts. porters and the old perman-
ent staff are around ready to do the
bidding of the students and dons.

PLAN TO ENLARGE
FORCES TO FIGHT
LIQUOR IMPORTING

Lincoln, Neb.-The Bootleg Daily
Market Journal" an anonymous
circular, has appeared at the state
been considering appropriations to
enlarge the forces now trying to
prevent importation of liquor into
Nebraska from nearby states.
A statement issued by the gov
ernor before the Journal appeared,
said there was almost as much
liquor in Nebraska when he took
office last January as there was
when the state went dry two years
ago. He recommended a $4,000 ap-
preparation as an addition to the
state fund for combating liquor
traffic. The request was granted.
"Bearish sentiment predominant
ed today in the local booze market
and resulted in aggressive selling at
intervals" said the journal. "St.
Joseph options were plentifully Of
fered and prices somewhat declined
in the early period but recovered
later; cash prices at the close were
generally stronger than at the be-
ginning of the session. This rally
was due to the feeling that nation
al prohibition will reduce the avail
able supplies in the very near fu-
ture. Muddy roads between st. JOS
eph and Omaha interferred mater
tally with receipts but bootleggers
look for lower prices as soon as the
mud dries up

STUDIES IN STOCK RAISING.

Investigational work in stock
raising on the southern cut-over
lands is to be continued. The sec
rotary of agriculture has just ap-
proved a cooperative project with
the Mississippi experiment station
for experimental work in livestock
production to be carried on at the
branch experiment station, Mcneil,
Miss, in the southern part of the
state. This is not a new project but
is continuation of work which has
been under way for the past two
years on cut-over lands in south
ern Mississippi. The new arrange
ment gives the state experiment
station and the United States de-
partment of agriculture an oppor-
tunity to work out comparatively
some of the problems that con-
front stock raisers over a large
section of the southern cut-over
land area.

In 1917, a convoy of IL ships
left a British port. At dawn on
the day after sailing the escort
commander discovered Is ships
under his charge. While the iden-
tity of the extra ships was being
discussed the convoy was suddenly
attacked by German ligh: cruisers
and most of the escort and nine of
the merchantmen were sunk. The
Germans then made off.
Survivors positively assert that
there were Is ships and that the
mysterious vessel disappeared as
strangely as she had appeared.
They are certain that the ship was
not sunk. Official inquiries failed
to throw any light on the nature
of the craft. 1t was ascertained
that she could not have oeen a dis
guised German raider and her
presence was logged" ty the es-

a pair of Neolin-soled shoes which he

The soles still look like new, he says.
You, too, will think there is no
better way to save, when once you
have tried shoes with these long
wearing. comfortable, and waterproof
soles. They come in many styles for
every member of the family. And
good repair shops carry Neolin Soles
