San Pedro, Cal, Oct. 10-Com-
mander Richard E. Byrd and his
little group of followers prepared
to bid goodbye to the United
States today as their final gesture
before embarking on a long trek
which will take them into volun-
tary exile in the antarctic regions
from one to three years.
The explorer who left his mark
in the Arctic by flying over the
north polar area, and who spanned
the Atlantic by airplane in one of
the most thrilling trans-oceanic
flights will meet adventure at the
neither end of the earth by essay
ing to "fill in the blank spaces on
the map" of that region.
Aboard the stauDch whaler, C.
A. Larsen, Byrd and his eager
companions were ready to start at
flood tide today FOR dunedin, New
Zealand, where their drive into
the south polar zones begins.
Across the Pacific ocean they will
follow three other vessels of the
Byrd expedition, the Sir James
Clark Ross, the Eleanor Boiling
and the city of New York, already
we'll on their way to distant New
Zealand. All four of the ships
carry great stores of supplies in
Guiding airplanes which Byrd will
employ in his long exploration of
the so-called greatest frozen area
ON earth. Eighty two men win aid
the daring plans Of the command
Ell.
After its arrival here from New
York via the Panama canal yes
terday, the Larsen was loaded with
the last stores for the expedition.
Sheep, cows, explosives, airplanes,
polar transportation equipment
and other important supplies rode
in her hull today as she fioated in
the confines of the harbor when
workmen had finished their task,
10, 900 tons Of these supplies had
been slowed away. IS
1 After supervising loading oper-.
atoms yesterday the commander
toured the Hollywood colony, and
Mrs. Byrd, who is here to bid her
husband God speed on his explora-
ton trip. Despite the danger of
the undertaking, she was calm and
cheerful. Last night several Of
the party amused themselves at
theatres, probably the last theatri-.
cal entertainment for; them in many
months. ."t Z.
As the Larsen slips past the
break water, American Legion
members, shipping craft, seafarers
and citizens arranged to give the
party q hearty farewell. The whal-
.er will be. escorted to the open sea
by harbor vessels, and at sunset
probably will have faded from
view on the Pacific horizon.
Byrd's plans estimate his arriv-
al at Dunedin about November 5
where the Larsen will join the 9TH
err three ships. a month and a
half later he hopes to penetrate
a 200 mile ice barrier and be rid
ing in the open stretches of the
Ross sea, approximately 1000
miles from the pole. Somewhere
in this area, his base of operations
will be established.

Butter Receipts Are Lower;
Prices Remain Irregular
Egg Supply Heavier Than Year
Ago-Price Lower-Poultry
Market Declining

! Compared with the previous
week, butter receipts for the week
just past have shown a further de-
crease. However, the supply is
still heavier than the same time a
year ago. The buying demand on
butter has been only fair and
there has been an undertone OF, un-
certainty. Butter markets have
been irregular, Chicago quotations
being lower, while the New York
market is unchanged today as COM
pared with the closing last week.
Chicago butter market today on

a decline of 1 n cents as compared
with the same day last week. New
York 90 Score Extras are quoted
at 471a cents today.
The supply of fresh eggs con-
tinues liberal and receipts are
running heavier than last year i.
These conditions have generally
been favorable for fresh egg pro-
duction and the volume has been
running above normal production
for this season of the year. With
this condition existing, quoted mar
kets have not changed materially
but in some sections, difficulty is
being experienced in satisfactorily
working out receipts, affecting
sales at market quotations.
Chicago egg market today on
Firsts is 80 to 33 cents. New York
First are so ga to 33 cents.
Receipts Of live poultry in New
York last week were reported as
being 261 cars with 40 additional
cars carried over ION tracks, as
compared with 242 cars the week
previous.
The live markets have gradual
ly weakened because of heavier re-
ceipts coupled with warm weather
which has affected consumption

been noticeable on both chickens

Shows Big Growth in
University .of Minnesota
Gains Four Per Cent Over Last
Year; is Twice as Big as in
F, ~ 1917 and 1918

Minneapolis, Oct. 9.-Figures
announced by President Coffman
show that there were 104 students
at the University of Minnesota
when classes began this fall for
every 100 who were there year
ago. The gain was slightly less
than the average increase of. recent
years. LA
Without counting the graduate
school, which last year enrolled a
total of about 1900 students, many
of whom registered late, the fig
ures show that Minnesota began
the year with 1O,022 students, as
against 1922 in the fall of 1927.
These are all collegiate students.
Extension, correspondence and
short course enrollments are not
included.
This years. enrolment is ap-
proximately twice that of the col
aege year 1917-1918, when there
were 5,567 students at the Uni
versity. Growth was swiftest in
the years Immediately following
the war, and in recent years has
ranged from four to eight percent
annually. This years increase is
a fraction over four per cent and
may reach five percent when
graduate enrolment has been COM
pleted.
All divisions show increases this
year except nursing, law and agri-
culture. In both of the latter two
the drop is slight. The biggest
percentage gain is in the school of
mines, which increased from 70 to
12O.
