Business Methods
on the Farm Found to
Be Greatest Value

Business methods on the farm;
even the simplest form of book
keeping and proper rendering of
bills and accounts, neat well-writ-
ten typewriter letter to the broker,
to the commission merchant, to the
dealer or to the customer, often
mean a big difference in prices and
determine whether the farm pays or
is loss.
The Omaha Business college is
encouraged by the growing interest
in its home study" courses of the
extension college. As an example of
the scope of this interest may be
cited one example of the present en-
rollment, in which a married wom-
an, with the care of six children, is
managing to find time for full
stenographic course.
Among the summer enrollments
of the Omaha Business college are
several teachers who are studying
shorthand for their own convenience
and possible additional support. A
leading county superintendent Of
schools, in commenting on the great
advantage of a knowledge of short
hand for advanced students and
teachers said: II wish every one of
my teachers would study it."

SALVATION ARMY
FORMS CLUB Of
LIFE Term ERS
7wenty-Eight Eligible Men,
bers Of Most Unique Shut
in Association Live in
Nebraska.

Plans for what is probably the
most unique of all shut-in clubs in
the world have been formulated by
the Salvation Army.
The club is the outgrowth of the
Brighter Day league of which Com
mander Evangeline Booth is presi-
dent Although few would care to
boast of membership, there are AZ
men eligible of whom % live in Ne
braska.
The club is unique in that no man
is eligible to membership who has
not had life sentence passed upon
him, and the Az members are the
life sentence men in the prisons
throughout the United States as
listed at the Salvation Army head
quarters.
A president, vice-president and
secretary will be elected by the pris-
oners, each officer representing a
different prison group. Preference
for Office will be given men who
have served the longest. Officers
at no time may confer together. but
all business will be transacted
through the Salvation Army prison
department, New York City, which
will automatically become the clear
ing house for suggestions, and COM
munications between prisoners.
Through the publications, The
War Cry and The War Service Her
aid, one group of prisoners will be
kept in communication with other
groups. Propositions from the pris-
oners will be submitted to the pris-
on board of the Salvation Army
which will take them up and decide
what can be done. A personal ser
vice will also be carried on by the
Salvation Army prison visitors.
To provide for better prison con-
ditions and to help in the prison
personal service work are included
in the plan for enlarged home ser
vice work in Nebraska.

new BUILDINGS
At STATE TO
Be READY SOON
Structures on Downtown
Campus to Be Occupied
at Opening Of Fall
Term.

| The two new buildings on the
down town campus at the state uni
versity will be ready for occupancy
when the university opens in the fall.
The social science building already
presents an attractive appearance
with the Twelfth street frontage. On
the first floor there is an assembly
room which will seat $50. The de-
partment of philosophy will occupy
rooms in the north wing on all three
floors. The remainder of the first
floor will be used by the department
of political science and sociology.
The second floor is given to the de-
partment of history. American oc-
cupies the northwest corner, togeth-
er with room for English history.
This subject will have some five or
six rooms along the west front of
the second floor.
European history is provided for
in the south part fthe hall on this
same floor. The college of business
administration will be housed in all
the rooms on the third f1ooi which
are not occupied by the depai tInent
of philosophy. This will give the
business college all the south end. A
room for the library of this college
is set apart near the south corner.
The floors in this building are fin
ished with cork carpet. ,,
The teachers college building will
be occupied exclusively by the one
college, which. however, embraces
wide variety of activities. Tie floors
il this building, which is fireproot,
are of maple. They have been
cleaned and vanished and many of
the rooms are ready for use. Home
economics occupies the northwest
corner of the basement With labor
atcry and practice kitchen In the
southwest corner there will be a
sewing laboratory. In another part
CT The basement arrangements a:e
made for manu- attaining. The type
writing room will occupy The south
east corner of the first floor. The
principals Office will be located on
this floor as we'll as the chemistry
laboratory. The second floor is
largely given to lecture and recita-
ton rooms. These are planned to
seat about thirty-hve or forty STU
dents. AT the east end of this floor
there will be a study room for about
220. This is most attractive room
Directly above it is the auditorium
which seats about 200. 1t is pro-
vided with footlights, stage and
dressing rooms. The physics labor
atory will be on the third floor as
will also be the Office of the dean OF
the college. AS yet the surrounding
buildings, which are later to be
cleared away, give little outlook
from the windows of this building,
but on the third floor a good vistas
over the tree tops towards the cap
itol may be obtained.
The shacks around the social
science building are rapidly being
removed. Desirable views from the
various stories are already possible:
Both buildings are of reinforced
| concrete brick.
