COLLEGE MORALS

In what amounted to defense of present-day
college students against charges Of immortality which
often heard, DR.. Sweet Of the divinity school, of
Chicago University recently told of conditions in
leading colleges in the early days.
During Colonial times and for some years follow
ing the Revolution religion at its lowest ebb,
cording to Dr. Sweet, and in the universities
Americans hardly touched by the church. This
is asserted by some Of the early presidents of the
universities themselves.
Lyman Beecher is quoted saying that at Yale
in 1870 most of the students skeptics, while
"rowdies were plenty and wine and liquors were
kept in all the rooms" Similar conditions were
ported about the same time at Harvard and Dart
mouth at the latter being said that in 1893 there
was only student who claimed to be Christian
Ashbel Green, who was president of Princeton
from 1872 to 1922 writes that there were not more
than five six students who did not use profane
language in common conversation, sometimes of the
most shocking kind" Bishop Meade has declared
that the Episcopal college of William and Mary
during this period "a hotbed of infdety sn6 - the
wild politics Of France"
In spite of the conditions noted by Dr. Sweet and
others, however, it seems that most Of these wild
students of early days turned out fairly well and
many Of them became leaders in the building of the
new republic. Perhaps those Of the present will do
equally well after they have had their jazz age fling

Mrs. AIbers Aged
lO2 Years Called
Pioneer Lady of st. Rose Dies
Monday FOrenoOn-Had 214
Descendants

Mrs. Mary Albers, pioneer wom-
an of this community, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. George
Toenyan, near st. Rose Monday
morning at the age of 1O1 years, 3
months and 13 days.
Mrs. Albers' excellent health,
which continued almost up to the
time of her death, allowed her many
privileges not usually the lot of
aged persons. Last Friday she was
still able to leave her bed without
assistance and spent the day in a
chair. She attended mass at st.
Rose for the last time five years
ago, and since then has lived in
almost complete retirement. Mrs.
Albers' hobby in her old age was
the making of quilts, and it was her
great regret when failing eyesight
forced her to abandon this occupa-
ton.
Born in Oldenburg, Germany, on
September 10, 1881, Mrs. Albers
came to America at the age Of 16
years. Her maiden name was Mary
Pantcher, her father being of
French, and her mother of German
extraction. She spent one year in
New York City, and then moved to
Ohio with her parents. At Piqua,
in Ohio, she married Henry Albers
who served in the Union Army for
three years during the Civil War.
and was wounded at Vicksburg dur
ing that famous battle.
Following an honorable discharge
Of Mr.. A9bers, the couple came to
Minnesota in 1866 and lived for a
year in st. George township,
Stearns county, later moving to
New Munich where they took up
a homestead. In 1898 they retired
from this farm and moved to Free
port where Mr., Albers died Janu-
airy 20, 1913. Since 1920 Mrs. Al
bers has been making her home

SPENDING AND SAVING

The problem of spending and saving is old
civilization, and in scarcely any phase of human
conduct do we find greater differences among differ
ent persons. It is unfortunate that few able
to strike happy medium between stinginess and
wastefulness.
The type of spendthrift who wastes inherited
money is well known, is also the lazy, shiftless
type who live from hand to mouth in good times or
bad. The Industrious worker who literally throws
away his earnings is more rare.
An illustration of the latter class is seen in the
late author and playwright, Edgar Wallace, who
of the most prolific and successful writers of all
time In the 25 years before his death he wrote
$50 full length novels and literally thousands of
short stories, besides 20 plays So many of his works
had big sales that his income must have been ex-
ceedingly large.
He was thought to be wealthy man, but at his
death his estate found insufficient to pay his
debts and his wife left without means of sup
port. 1t seems increditable that of Wallace s
intelligence and tireless energy should have been so
short-sighted with respect to his financial affairs.

NEW NAVY PROGRAM

Some details of the plan strengthen the Amer
lean Navy in accordance with recent legislation
have been made public by Secretary Swanson. Stated
briefly, they follows:
A total of 80 new vessels will be built during the
next three years, including two 1500O-ton aircraft
carriers four 10OOO-ton cruisers four 1850ton de-
stroyers four 4OO-ton submarines and two 2OO0ton
gunboats.
For this program S23S,O0O,OO0 will be made avail
able and the work will be divided between govern
ment and private shpyards, is cstomary It is
estimated by Secretary Swanson that IS per cent of
the sum to be expended for new warships will go to
labor. It will directly affect some 16 major indus
tries and than 100 different mechanical trades
Lest it be thought by some that we setting
bad example at time when efforts for general re-
auctions in ornaments being made, it may be
said that with the addition of these 30 new
ships the United States will still be far behind the
strength permitted by the London treaty. while Brit
ain and Japan have built their navies to approx
mately treaty strength

Wheat Conference
At Fargo Friday
Governments Adjustment Payment
Plan Will Be Fully Explained
Many Farmers Attend

Agricultural leaders from Mime
sofa, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Montana will gather at Fargo,
N. D., Friday, July z, to consider
problems in relation to wheat in
the federal Farm adjustment pro-
gram. Conferences of like nature
have already been held in Kansas
City and Spokane.
At the two conferences already
held farm leaders have urged that
some method be adopted whereby
farmers in counties which grow
comparatively little wheat can or
ganize on an economical basis
such as will make it worth their
while to come in under the plan.
This idea would apply to many of
tMinnesota's counties.
The governments program con-
sists of offering farmers adjust
ments sufficient to bring the buy
ing power of the part of 1888, 1884,
and 1885 crops that is domestically
consumed as human food up to the
pre-war level, in return for agree
ing to reduce acreage in 1884 and
1885 crops by 20 per cent or less
of their average past production. A
processing tax of 30 cents a bushel
on the milling of wheat, effective
July 9, has been levied to produce
the needed funds.
M. L. Wilson, chief of the wheat
production section of the Agricui-
tural Adjustment Administration,
who will attend the Fargo confer
ence, says: Even if only an aver
age crop is grown next year, the
surplus problem will still then be
acute. We must remember that the
export market which used to take
our surplus wheat, almost regard
less of how much we had, is prac-
tically gone. Our present carry
over is more than $50 million bush
els. Our average crop for the last
five years has been S44 million
bushels. Each year we consume
about 625 million bushels for food,
feed, seed, and miscellaneous. In
the last II months we exported
about IS million bushels. Now, If
we assume the possibility of export
ing the next II months so million
bushels, and if we also assume a
crop this year as low as $50 million
bushels it would be necessary to
dig into the surplus to the extent
of about 125 million bushels. This
would still leave a July 1, 1884,
carryover Of about 225 million
bushels, which would still be
double the normal carryover. It is,
however, too much to expect anoth-
err crop failure next year. A less
than average crop of 800 million
bushels would then bring our sur
plus on July 1, 1885, to near the
point it is now"
The purpose of the Agricultural
Adjustment plan, Mr.. Wilson says,
is to benefit the wheat growers OF
this country, put the wheat indus
try on a paying basis for all the
farmers, and to give them as fully
as possible the economic and social
benefits contemplated in the act.
To do this the total supply OF
wheat must in 1884 and 1885 be cut
down about 20 per cent from the
average of the last three years. The
cut will be made voluntarily in
each region, state, and by each in
dividual farmer. And the govern
ment will make compensatory pay
ments. In addition to the compen-
satory payments, wheat farmers
will benefit by the improved posi-
ton of the industry.

Committee to Aid Treasury
In Strengthening Out
Tangled Affairs

!. Seeking relief from the hard.
ships caused by the closing Of the
Park Savings Bank, business and
civic leaders of the Columbia
Heights community are consider
ing forming a new bank or form
ing branch of the new Hamil-
ton National Bank.
Frank j. Sobotka, leader of a
representative group, however,
says that present sentiment ap-
pears to be in favor of the branch
bank.
To form an independent ma
tional bank would require $240, 900
in capital and surplus while it is
believed that the Hamilton would
accept the new institution as a
branch If between $4,000 and
100000 were raised, Sobotka
said:
To forestall the likelihood of
filing of innumerable lawsuits
against the bank, which Sobotka,
after comforting with Treasury
officials, said might tie up the
banks assets indefinitely, deposi-
tors are expected to request the
Treasury to place the Park Saw
angs in receivership.
Directors of the "old" bank,
meeting last night, decided to
give their full cooperation to all
investigations and plans for pay
ment of depositors. Wade H. At
