evnt and cure illness among students.

HE FOUND PROSPERITY
and HAPPINESS IN
MONTANA

Here is the experience of a man
who, with diversified farming. has
made prosperous and happy home
for his family in Montana.
. "Am familiar with other farming locali-
ties," writes Ed Mcdonnell, of Lewistown,
montana, and know of no place where,
with the same investment. you can get the
returns you can here, if practical farmer"
Mr.. Mcdonnell came to Montana
with only $500 in capital. Today
he owns and operates fine diversi-
fed farm in the heart of Judith
Basin, near Lewistown, Montana.
His average crop of wheat is Is
bushels to the acre cats, 65 bushels;
barley, 40 bushels; alfalfa hay, 8
tons; potatoes, $50 bushels.
His stock and poultry production
is equally succ ssful. Hogs have
never suffered from disease; his
small flock of sheep increased 1860
in 1925. He keeps an average of
200 head of cattle; raises chickens
and turkeys, and milks Z cows.
Il consider Montana's climate better than
that OF Iowa, Wisconsin or Minnesota" says
Mr.. Mcdonnell. THE opportunities here
are excellent for practical farmers and
stockmen."
There are wonderful opportuni-
ties here for experienced farmers.

President Cofn1an Explains
Needs of University
PAGE SIX

An increase of $1,131 ,446 in tn,
State Legislature biennial appropria
ton for the University of Minnesots
is asked in the Board of Regents
budget estimate presented to A. j
Peterson, state budget commissioner
late Wednesday.
Lotus D. Coffman, president of the
University, in bulletin issued sim.
ultaneously with the budget estimate
explained that the increase is asked
to provide higher salary scale fol
professors and instructors, and to en-
able the institution. to enlarge its
staff correspondingly with registra-
ton increases.
Direct appropriation for the next
two years of $3,765, 723 is asked in the
budget estimate. Of this amount,
$4,000 is asked for maintenance and
special equipment of the State Agri-
cultural School at Grand Rapids;
$4,000 for the year ending June 80,
1928, and $4,000 for the year end
ing June 80, 1926.
Hearing to Be Held
The allowance for the current BIZ
ennium is $3,200,OOO a year. The ,23
mill tax, permanent university fund
revenue, and other income of the in
stitution are not included in these
amounts.
Hearing of the budget estimate will
be given with the next few days, &C
cording to Mr.. Peterson. He will
pass on the request before it is SUBJ
mitted to Governor Christensen, who
will review it before it is sent to the
Legislature.
That the average University of
Minnesota education annual appro-
priation is $1,6OO,OOO less than that
of Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin is pointed out by President
Coffman in his bulletin. These uni
versities, on the average, are smaller |
he adds.
Salary Increases Proposed
The staff salary increases which
would be permitted by the budget
would place the University of Min
lesota salary scale on an equal basis
With these universities, according to

r. w. Hitchcock, Hibbing, chairman
of the House Appropriations commit
tee in the last Legislature, favored
the increase. He is believed slated
for re-appointment to that position,
formerly held by Governor Christian
son.
President Coffman's bulletin, in it's
argument for a larger Institutional
staff, makes the following statement:
''It is not too much, it seems, TO
expect that the state will provide
enough money to enable the Univers-
ity to maintain a staff, which, so far
as salaries are concerned, barely
equals the average of neighboring in
stitutions. The regents have not sug-
gested that the state do more than
this.
Registration Increases 2,779
Certain salary adjustments are in
evitable if the University is to retain
its ablest men. We have not paid
salaries at Minnesota that equal those
paid at a number of neighboring in
stitution. With the growth in regis
tration the competition has grown
more severe. Extra efforts will be
required to maintain our standing
and we should go forward"
The bulletin points out further, in
support of this statement, that the
has increased 2,779 dur
ing the current biennium, and that
during the past year alone there was
an increase of 1,674 students of col
ege grade. In 1921, the bulletin
says, in the report the regents made
to the Legislature, they predicted an
enrolment of $4,000 in 10 years. That
prediction was exceeded this year by
,410.

Good Typography Pays
A Message to Advertisers
y PERCENTAGE of present day advertising is
"a loss of money Examine the contents of many
present day periodicals and you will find much
read advertising, representing dollars unwsey spent
Common sense tells us that unless advertising
is read will not bring returns No matter how beauti-
fully worded, good and impressive the argument it will
avail nothing unless is read So it remains, that the
most important factor about advertising matter that
it must first attract attention. After attention is once
gained the depends the value and ceverness in
the construction of the message
Many printers say they do good printing and
illustrate it in printed fashion that proves contrary
Some say good work takes much time in construc-
ton and doesn't pay We will boldly emphasize the fact
that do good work. both in typographical design and
mechanical execution We prove by the very piece
you reading. We also find that reproducing good
idea doesn't take any time than would get up
poor The only difference is that in getting up
good idea it requires thought and purpose in mind so
make it effective the poor idea gets very little
thought consequently of little interest anyone
