The announcement alone meant that
200 men would come at once. This

New Building on the Campus
An extensive building program is
being undertaken by the university
this year. The largest building on
the campus is the new 100000 Mines
and Engineering building, which is now
being occupied by Dean Butler and
his staff.
The new women's dormitory which
will cost s145,000 is rapidly nearing
completion and will probably be ready
for occupancy by the beginning of
the second semester.
Ground has been broken for a new
mems dormitory, also, which is to be
situated just west of Arizona hall in
line with the two other mems dormi-
tories. 1t is to be a duplicate of the
women's hall and will cost exactly
the same amount.
The new Steward observatory which
will be back of the Mines and Engi-
neering building on the highest point
OF the campus, has an equipment worth

Other features are a new machine
shop building, new greenhouse and a
big aviary, besides the handsome new
man entrance which has just been
completed and the Memorial Fountain
in front of the old main building which
is being erected in honor of the sons
OF Arizona who went to war The
fountain is the gift of an anonymous
donor. 1t has been under construc-
ton during the summer and will be
finished in few weeks. 1t will cost
approximately $1,000 and on it will be
placed a tablet of cast bronze which
will bear the following inscription:
This fountain is erected in honor
of all faculty members, alumni and

We have had several inquiries from farmers
who propose going into the dairy business,
asking us to tell them how to select their cows.
They have asked whether good cows could not
be picked up" at the various auction sales
being held, and if it was "safe" to buy such
cows. Some have suggested that the number
of these sales would indicate that more
people were going out of the dairy business
than were going into it, and asked us for evil
dence OF the revival of the business.
1t is undoubtedly a fact that few real
dairy herds are changing hands, just as it is
fact that people selling their homes
businesses, or anything else of value. If no
one would sell, there would be no trades of
any character A great many of the cows
being sold at auction sales are cows that have
proven their inability to "grade up as real
dairy animals Many dairymen are using the
Babcock tester and when cow proves her
lack of butter-fat producing ability, she is
sold. Sometimes herds are sold in which
there are several really good individuals, the
rest being of little value except for beef.
The buyer of dairy cows especially for
foundation herd, should endeavor to secure
thoroughbreds if possible Failing in that
selection should be made of COWS THAT
HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES, or heifers

appearances, except as they are sure indica-
tons of the real dairy animal. 1t were wiser

Some dairymen find themselves at this season
OF the year with too many head of cows to

it is better to SELL than to try to carry too many

presents itself for the purchasers of dairy
stock to secure some meritorious animals.

The Vice Presidents Advice

We might not go solar as Vice President Marshall did in a Presbyterian church, and on Sunday night too for Sunday is day peculiarly sacred Presby terians (we know of youthful experience) when he advocated the hanging of boshevist leaders, but all citizens withhold criticism of the presi- dent and wish him well. He should perhaps have made clear what he certainly meant that the hanging should be legal The kind of people who he believed should be hanged may be hanged for such crimes those the vice president deplored, at- tempts to overturn the government indictment to riot and bloodshed. On certain glorious day Chi cago generation ago several men and a woman were hanged by law for that very thing and the growth of anarchy there checked and stunted for many years Mir. Marshall should only have made plain that these hangings should be effected decently and in order to the end that unauthorized executoners might not be encouraged to act upon their own initiative and now and then make an irreparable mistake by hanging the wrong person. A hanging amiss is a pretty serious business.
 Undoubtedly these leaders of revolt should be dealt with vigorously vigorously and promptly It is not necessary wait until they have actually melted riot and bloodshed. Such crime is usually preced- ed by other overt, criminal acts criminal in peni tentiary before he has committed murder is better than one dangling from rope after it has been com mitted.
 We are inclined to be too enent toward these ene- enemies of the government. Recently there have been discharged from prisons by mistaken government some 1400 persons who had been committed under the espionage act to terms ranging from one to twenty years. They probably would have been kept in con-
 nement the full terms if the war had lasted so long, They are no less the of the government now than they were when they were committed and in the disturbed conditions which have succeeded the war they are capable of greater mischief than they could committed during the war

VOLUNTEER PLAN IN THIS COUNTY BE DRIVE

Though no attempt has been made 1 toward the actual solicitation of funds ] in the United Drive for Relief in the ] Near East, which starts February 10, several volunteer subscriptions have already been turned over to David 1 Goldberg. state chairman of the drive. 1 The Elks lodge has the honor of be- 1 ing the first subscriber, followed by Harry Gray of Phoenix and Flagstaff ! and Miss Gilchrist This early interest in the cause has led State Director Charles F. Willis to suggest to the county organizations that they adopt an honorary subscriber" plan. This subscription has been accepted by 1 Chairman Sidney J. Ross of Maricopa ] county, and it is expected that other counties will follow suit.
 Under this plan all persons who vol untarily bring subscriptions into the county headquarters, on or before Feb ruary 9th. will be known as Honorary subscribers" of the United Drive for Relief in the Near East and will receive | d special badge designation. The list | of honorary subscribers" will be pub lished without reference to the amounts given The honor badge will consist of a printed ribbon appropriately lettered and attached to the official button
 Works We'll Elsewhere
 This plan, it is said, has worked out effectively in a considerable number of cities during war work campaigns and the system has not only been popular with the public, but has resulted in a large percentage of the subscriptions coming in at an advanced rate.
 Chairman Ross is enthusiastic over the plan. Tt will help to make easy the work of soliciting committees he said, and vii prevent embarrassment to both subscribers and solicitors in l soliciting the same person twice. It was made clear at state headquarters that the honorary system will be op- tional with each county organization the general policy having been adopted of allowing each county chairman to choose his own methods. selecting such suggestions only as are applicable to
