Text books and note books and

at the smallest possible margin above

Tremendous Business Done.
In 1915, with a student body of
slightly over 5000, the store did
business amounting to $4,000. On
the non-essential articles alone, net
profit of $4,000 was realized. Divi-
dends were paid to the individual
student in proportion to his purchases,
a sale ticket or cash register receipt
being given with every purchase.
These receipts are turned in every
month and at the end of the year divi-
dends are apportioned.

In 1915, a rebate of 10 per cent was
declared to the students, and in stat
ig this it must be remembered that
all supplies were sold at substan-
TALLY lower price than at any other
store in the city. Besides this rebate
to the individual students, the store
has building fund of over 5000
and have made. loans to the student
body Of some $4,000. The total bust
ness of the store has now reached
$4,000 or Sc per cent of all money
handled by the student body.
0. A. C.'s Method.
0. A. G. organized their store in
1915 with a student body Of $500.
When the store was first opened a
fee of $3.50 was charged each student
for capital stock, but this fee has since
been. reduced to fifty cents per year.
At the beginning the store was han
died by manager and one lady as
sistant. At present there are six full
time employees, several part time as
sistants and a general manager. The
stock of goods carried at 0. A. C. is
quite extensive but is still incomplete
on account Of lack of room.
The stores at both schools are un-
der competent business men who de-
vote full time to their duties The
stores are managed by a board of di-
rectors consisting Of eight members,
six students and two faculty members.
Both stores are run on a strictly cash
oasis and both are Incorporated.
The committee are now at work
lere, in gathering data concerning the
amount of all University necessities
lsed per year. Figures concerning
ncidentals will be gathered later.
Committee meetings are being held
very ten days or two weeks and ten
alive plans are being drawn up. A
etailed report will be formulated on
he results of the work and submitted
or student consideration before the
olidays.

GERS Are Being Taken On.

Berlin, Aug. 10 Correspondence of the
Associated Press Correspondence of the
foreign office will begin soon but it can
not be expected to move very swiftly
since the newcomers must take time to
become acquainted with their new work,
says the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
Already one new minister, an under
secretary, a political director and per
sonal reporter have undertaken their new
duties at the foreign office.
The system will be altered so that
one individual will control all relations
with one given country, whereas now
political, commercial and new relations
were handled separately
There are about so diplomatic posts
TO be filled besides countless legation and
consular positions.
The rank which diplomats abroad will
take is still uncertain and it is consid-
cred probable that many countries will
appoint charges d'afraires, an example
which Germany must follow.
The Allgemeine says that the general
commissary at Versailles, Director ST.
mons, after leaving the state service. will
become business director of the imperial
association of German industry.

New York, Aug. l9.-With the two

the lnterborough Rapid Transit company

resumed on the subway and elevated
lines in all parts of the city, attention
was centered to-day on an investigation
as to the cause of the strike.
District Attorneys Swami of New

continued their Investigations of charges
made by Mayor Hylan that the strike
had been brought about by collision be-
tween officials of the transit company
and leaders of the brotherhood for the
alleged purpose of forcing an increase in
fares from five to eight cents.
Mr.. Swami, who asserted that he had
uncovered evidence seeming to Indicate
such conspiracy, subpGnaed more than
90 witnesses to testify before the grand
jury. Members of the brotherhood who
are said to have declared they were
paid for striking" were questioned by

The Lowly Corncob.

Until the chemists of the United States
set themselves at work finding new
use for everything. the corncob was
deemed about as useless a thing as could
be named. True, a small quantity of
corncobs were burned in the kitchen
stoves OF farmhouses and otherwise used
as fuel, but the great bulk of corncobs
was classed as waste Three billion bush
els of corncobs every year were thrown
away
Now it has been discovered that corn.
cobs are extremely valuable and that
they can be transformed into number
of products of commercial demand To
begin with, corncobs may be cooked in a
closed tank with water at temperature
about 100 degrees above boiling point
At the end of an hours time they are
taken out in thoroughly soft and sat
urated condition and pressed They yield
a fluid that is evaporated in an open
kettle to a thick syrup. This syrup is

Saturday, the local boys won from the
Sunset Hill house BIZ score Of to /.
Mcdonald allowed the hin team only
three hits, one Of which, home run, was
their only score, In the meantime the
local boys gathered in l3 hits. The only
way that one can account for the small
ness Of the score is by the fact that
when Wells River began to hit his fast
ball he changed to slow delivery, which
the local men were unable to hit. The
game was one of the fastest played, only
an hour and Is minutes being required
for the whole nine innings The score:
