Back in prehistoric ages they said,

other whale with bones outside the

There was no reason for the legs on

SCHOOL LUNCHES
FOR 8 AND 5 CENTS
CHICAGO EXPERIMENT IN FEED
ING SCHOOL CHILDREN PROVES
SUCCESSFUL.

Chicago-(By A. P.)-Judging by
their patronage, the &c and sc meals
put up by the Chicago board of edu-
cation are making an enormous sue
cess.
The city's penny lunch business
runs from forty to fifty thousand
customers a day. Sales, measured in
pennies and nickels, almost daily be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000
eve have to chase the children
away" remarked DR.. Frank G.. Brun-
the board of education, who has charge
of this work. "Often we have to stand
at the door and protect the lunch
rooms so they won't be overrun."
DIR. Bruner said that penny lunches
had been established in 81 of the cits''s
elementary schools. Their object, lie
observed, is to provide substantial
food at the least cost for children
coming from homes where there is
real necessity Lunch rooms therefore
have been opened in districts where,
as general thing, the people are not
as well to do.
For five CENTS" DR.. Bruner said,
sthe menu runs something like this:
Soup, bread, mix or cocoa, fruit or
pudding.
milk. And then a yOungster can spend
only penny if he wants to, buying
any one of these articles for it. Or if
he is not blessed with wealth and yet
has more than a penny, he can for two
cents purchase a meat ball, beans,
spaghetti, or rice.
'.The board of education is spending
$15O,OO0 a year to provide these
meals" AIDED DR.. Bruner. "The board
donates all service and equipment.
That includes the rooms, cooks, light,
gas,-the entire maintenance cost.
What the children pay goes into the
food. We buy at wholesale and the
receipts cover the purchase of the
food.''
In additin to the penny lunches,
the board of education supplies a bite
to eat at the morning recess at 10:3 80
in all elementary schools. This sells
for a penny and consists of a sand
wich with filling of jelly, jam, syrup,
peanut or oleo, or else dish of por-
ridge
Then there are 80 or so high schols.
These have their cafeterias. They are
run on a different principle, the object
being to provide food for students COM
ing from a distance. DR.. Bruner said
that in all cases they were self sus
tanning. In some the cafeterias are
operated on a private concession, in
others by the board of education.

ENTERTAINS STUDENTS

The brotherhood of the Presby-
terian church, at their regular month
ly meeting Wednesday,, had as their
guests the young men of the univer-
sity. A sumptuOus banquet was serv-
ed followed by interesting and instruc-
tive speeches by DR.. Ppham, the new
president of the university, Rev.

church may have upon the lives of
students DR.. Upham gave as an illus
tration the work Of a small unpreten-
tious Presbyterian church In college

no larger than the Presbyterian
church in Moscow, has passed from it's
aisles one president of the United
States, more than thirty foreign mis-
sionaries, over one hundred ministers
of the gospel and hundreds of God
fearing men and women.
Rev. Mr. Gould urged the men of
the churches of Moscow to open up
their homes to the students Of the
university who are far away from
home and to invite them home with
them for meal. He said the students
appreciate such kindness and will all
ways remember such events through
out the remainder of their lives. Rev.
Mr.. Gould also paid a glowing tribute
to DR.. Upham as being christian
who works at his job.
Dean Eldridge warmly welcomed
the students of the university and ex-
tended to them the fellowship Of the
brotherhood. He said that DIR. Up
hams speech wu1d be considered as
his initiation into the brotherhood
The next meeting the brotherhood
will be a father and sons meeting.

Growing Cowpeas.
The black-eyed pea is the most

rows and cultivated, it makes a large
yield. Under field conditions, it is a
common practice to SOW the black
eyed peas broadcast in corn when the
last cultivation is given it. A few
rows of peas planted every two weeks
will furnish the home table.
Soil and Fertilizer.
Peas will make good yield on any
good garden. However, a soil too
rich in nitrogen will cause the plants
to make too much vine. AS rule,
peas do not require any fertilizing
but on poor soil a small quantity OF
commercial fertilizer will increase
the yield of peas.
