HOMECOMING AT "U" SET
FOR IOWA GAME DAY
Alumni From 1873 on Plan to
Attend Campus Reunions
Nov. IA.

Representatives of every class
from 1873 to 1925 are expected
to return to the University of
Minnesota campus Saturday, Nov.
ii for the annual Homecoming"
to which, each year, thousands
of graduates and former students
make the + way from all parts of
the county. Special reunions
will be hs,d by many of the five
year chance classes" including
this year, 1920, 1915, 1910, etc.
Minnesota's Homecoming will
be the latest at any of the west
ern conference universities this
year, having been set back two
weeks so that it might come on
the day of the Iowa football
game, inasmuch as Minnesota has
been a frequent guest team for
the football game at Iowa's Home
coming.
The Iowa-Minnesota game is
more than likely to decide the
conference championship in the
opinion of many football experts,
as the Hawkeyes now have an
easy schedule up to Minnesota
and are likely to go undefeated
up to November IA. If they do
the contest will be one of the
most sensational and significant
ever played in the western con-
ference, with Iowa's sophomore
sensation, Nick Kutsch, pitted
against the sophomore stars of
Minnesota, Joosting, Mural and
Almquist among the others.
A special issue of Ski-U-Mah,
the student magazine, a parade
of student floats decoration of
fraternity and sorority houses.
open house to visitors at several
places on the campus and many
dances and other gatherings are
on the schedule for Homecoming.
The crowd at the stadium for the
football game is expected, to be
second only to that drawn for
Notre Dame and may pass the
Notre Dame figures if the cham
pionship depends on that meet
ing.
Homecoming arrangements are
chiefly in the hands of the stu
dents, and a large committee
representing the student body
has been at work for a month
making preparations.

PEANUT BRITTLE GOES
GOOD; HOW TO MAKE 1T

Everybody likes peanut brittle

pieces when cool. If roasted pea
nuts are used add when sirup
forms firm ball in cold water.

COOLIDGE FARM
INQUIRY ENDED
Satisfactory Solution of Problems
in Sight, Head of Agricultural
Conference Says.

Washington-The Presidents agri
cultural conference has been definitely
dissolved. In making this announce
ment the department of agriculture
said President Coolidge had acted on
the recommendation Of Robert D. Ca
rey Of Wyoming, chairman Of the con-
ference, that no further sessions be
called. The conference was no longer
necessary, he told the President, be-
cause most Of it's recommendations
had been put into effect and "a salts
factory solution of farm problems" ap-
peared in prospect.
The recommendation of the confer
ence, dealing with cooperative mar
kettng, which has not been acted upon
by congress, has been taken up by
Secretary Jardine with leaders in the
movement, and they have assured him
of their assistance in efforts to i'm
prove conditions and In supporting
legislation. Early in the summer,
President Coolidge considered calling
the conference back into session this
fall to continue it's study of farm prob

COLONEL MITCHELL
REVIEWS ATTACKS
Defense Launches Cannonade of
New Charges Against Navy
and Army Air Services.

Neutrality-suspicious. reverberatinR
cannonade of accusations was turned
loose by Colonel William Mitchell
against those in charge of the mill
tary and naval air service.
Through his counsel, Representa-
tive Frank R. Reid, the colonel in
formed the courtmartial trying him
because Of his previous utterances in
the air controversy that he was fully
prepared to prove his charge of crimi-
nal and almost reasonable negligence
in government aviation.
Among the multitude Of offenses of
which the defense counsel promised to
furnish proof were these:
That the Shenandoah went on it's
fatal western trip unfit and against
the will of its commander, Zachary
.Lansdowne.
That a naval officer sought to have
Lansdowne's widow give false testi-
mony.
!. That those who arranged the un-
successful Hawaiian flight of the PN-9
No. 1 were incompetent"
That high army and navy officers,
had testified falsely before commit
tees Of congress-
That Colonel Mitchell himself was
denoted and transferred because he
told the truth,
That government aviators are put
to unnecessary hazards and many
killed as a result.
Army aeronautics Is gradually
wasting itself away under the present
administration of the war depart
ment," said the statement of the de-
tense.
I'VE will prove that Colonel Nit
chell, after exhausting every usual
means to safeguard the aerial defense
of the United States, without result,
took the only way possible that would
cause study of the true conditions of
the national defense to be made"

GAS STATION SIGNS
CALLED LAUGHABLE
Better Forget Tax and List Other
Items, Also Explain Price Vari-
ances, Says Gas Tax Man.

Nickles N. Dimes, the gas tax
man, prominent a year ago in
the campaign for Minnesota's
now most popular tax, stopped
off the other day wearing his
usual broad smile. He said the
smile was prompted by the price
signs at most filling stations.
What would you think of a
local merchant who posted signs
reading: Eggs 47c-Tax 1c, or
Butter 53c-Tax 1c and carried
the same idea throughout his
store?" queried Dimes. We'll,
he would only be following the
example at the gas filling sta
tions. There's no more reason for
the Gasoline 23c-Tax &C. signs
than for like butter and egg
signs, for the gas tax is a tax
on the business of dealing in mo-
tor fuels and part of the general
expenses which like the mer-
chants taxes are added to over
head and passed on to the GUS
toners.
Gar owners know they're pay
ing 2-cent gas tax to improve
roads so they will use less gaso-
line, although they probably
would have forgotten about it
never know the difference
if the filling station signs were
not always there. But they
would get more kick out of signs
showing who gets the profits and
why gas prices are higher in
some towns than in others near
BY"
- The gas tax man declared the
new method of raising funds for
needed road improvements in
Minnesota as popuar here as in
other states and modestly re-
marked that his campaign pre-
dictions are being fulfilled.
