Grummann, head of 'be department of fine arts of the inte university, returned Tuesday from Washington, D. C, where lie : funded the convention of the Ameri can Federation of Art. Between 800 and 1,000 people were present, at the meetings. Included in this number were museum directors, famous artists, art directors, and others of high rank in the world ot ait. The meetings were held at the Corcoran Art Gallery for the most part, although one session congre gated in the National Gallery. Smith sonian institution. On Thursday morning, by special nvitation. President Harding reviewed the artists in front of the white house and on Thursday afternoon a recep tion was held in the white house. The convention closed Friday wan dinner at Rauschers and very dis tinguished delegates were heard at that meeting, including the head of the Pan American Union. All phases cf art work were discussed. In addi tion to the set papers there were a great many very valuable informal dis cussions and msny round table gather ings were held on important topics The convention devoted a considerable amount of time to arts and crafts and puiral painting. Various collections were especially thrown open to the visitors. A col lection at the Smithsonian Institution, of work done by American artists during the war and on .war subjects was very interesting. At this institu tion there was also a collection of drawings exhibited by the American Institution of Architects and in that exhibition Messrs. J. II. and Allan McDonald of Omaha were represented by the drawing that they had sub mitted in the state house competition. On Thursday evening the conven tion were special guests of the divi sion of prints in the Library of Congress, where they viewed a col lection of Whistleriana recently pre sented to the Library of Congress by Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Tennell, famous sketcher. Mr. and Mrs. Pennell were present at the reception and added a great deal to the interest of the occa sion. .Considerable interest was mani fested in the western office at Lincoln and the direct irs have decided to con tinue that office here and have added to our territory Washington and Ore gon, so that all of the territory west cf the Missouri, except California and Texas is now included in this terri tory. A 6trong movement is being made to hold the next convention at St. Ixmis. The directors considered the matter very carefully and finally in trusted the next meeting place to the executive committee.

The merry-makers did a snake dance down R street to Six teenth and then over to O where several of the confectionery stores have "hand-outs" of punch and cigars. All traffic was blocked for nearly an hour while the Enake dance con tinued. Every theatre in town was visited. This event in years past has been a source of constant worry to street car conductors and confectionery store proprietors. This year it was left totally in the hands of the stu dents and was conducted in as orderly fashion as possible. ' After the parade the "shirt-tailers" proceeded to the drill campus where a bon fire was built and about twenty "student life" sections of the Corn husker were thrown in as a protest of the Btudent body against Its libel ous articles and questionable pictures. m ) j p PAY Fun PLAY WJK V- J - ' Hs f v vs"V,' Offers Prize of One Hundred Dollars " C J O' kX JttiCf for a Good Musical . f - .

Scores of Nebraska farmers are asking the state college of agriculture to assist them design modern farm steads, their intention being to con struct permanent farm plants, instead of moving to town. More than 100 special plans have been made by the college's extensions service for men who wish to build up a lasting farm stead, and an average of one call a week is received for the regular stock plans carried by the college. In many instances farmers ask for farmstead plans providing for two houses as they desire to eventually turn over the active management of the place to a on and retire to a modern home on the farm. In fact so many calls of ' this kind have been rece.ved that some of the college men believe there is now a definite senti ment among farmers to stay on the farm after they quit work. In the designing of farmstead plans which include kit buiniini and their location the college emphasizes mod em equipment and economy of labor in doing chores. In the location of the different buildings, most farmers are interested first of all in reducing their chores. Reduce Chores. "Farmers consider chores the dead end of the day's work," says I. D. Wood, extension engineer. "They are more interested in arranging build ings so as to reduce the chces than they are in the economy of the build ings. A good many consider chores of no profit: they are something that have to be done, and the fanners want them done as easily and quickly as possible." In order to obtain ideas on reduc ing the labor of chores the extension service sent out a man with a pedo meter to tag farmers around. In one instance he found a farmer walking a mile a day farther than necessary in doing his chores. This meant an extra 365 miles of walking a year, or more than 10,000 miles in thirty years. The college, in making farmstead plans, attempts to place the buildings according to the order of doing the chores. For instance, if the farmer feeds his horses the first thing in the morning the barn should be the first reached on his rounds. If he feeds the hogs next the hog house should follow the barn. The buildings are arranged around a rectangle so the farmer will be back near the house at breakfast time, and there is no retracing nor crossing of paths. UNIVERSITY TO CLOSE ON DECORATION DAY The University announces that all offices and class rooms will be closed on Decoration day with the exception that examinations will be Tield for those students, who recite at 8 o'clock and at 1 o'clock. The major portion of the students have their classes at other hours. It was found to be abso- lutely impossible to arrange a work ing schedule of examinations leaving Decoration day absolutely free with out postponing commencement one dSy. Hereafter the schedule committee will endeavor to arrange such a rchedule that every activity of the University can be closed on Decora tion day. English 1 and 2. Examinations for Mr. Forward's sec tions will be held Saturday at 1:15 In M. E. 206. Above is the composer and authors of the ten musical numbers which featured the Kosniet Klub's produc tion. "The Most Prime Minister." Howard C. Adamson. '24. and Kathleen Doyle Hailigan. '10, wrote the lyrics, and Wilbur C. Chenoweth. one of Lincoln's most promising young musi cians composed the beautiful melodies which have been said to surpass any thing of their kind in previous pro ductions. Kvery one of the ten musical num bers of the play were well received, and two or three scored a tremendous success. The numbers "Kaloa" and ' Its Your Wonderful Smile" have been published and are on sale at Walts. Ross P. Cu-tice, and Crancers. The sale of these songs have far sur passed all expectations, and it is very probable that they will be old to ojt of the leading publishers of the coun try in the near future. Following is a list of the songs, in the order in which they were rendered in "The Most Prime Minister": ACT 1. 1. 3. 4. I. o Keep Your Eye on the Ball. They all Fall for Me. My Protector. Kaloa South Sea Isle. ACT 2. Maid of the Southern Isle. J's Your Wonderful Sm'le. loyalty. ACT 3. Welcome to the Sultan of Kaloa. Could You Know. Finale. REV. DEAN R. LELAND WILL REMAIN IN LINCOLN Rev. Dean R. Leland. student pas tor of the Presbyterian church at the University of Nebraska, has decided not fo accept the offer of a similar position with much higher salary at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Leland returned Thursday morning from Winona lake. Wis where he has been attending the gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian church. While there he consulted with the members of the general board of education, under which his work in Nebraska is conducted. It was the opinion of Dr. Iceland and his advisers that it would be doubtful wisdom for him to leave a work where he had estabished close rela tions with student and church life. In considering the two posi'ions Dr. Leland found striking contrasts. In so large a city as Philadelphia, the intimate contact would be lost in per sonal work with students. The close relations with the church in a city like Lincoln was also a deciding fac tor with Dr. Leland. JUNIOR-ALUMNI BASEBALL GAME IS POSTPONED The junior-alumni baseball game at the W. A. A. picnic was called on account of darkness with a score of 9-9. Tbf juniors were at bat and were knocking hard, when the um pire. Miss Louise Pound, called a stop.

Ruby Damme who was filling out on the alumni team was the only slugger in tne Pame ho made a home run ARTHUR HACKETT TO BE COMMENCEMENT SINGER Arthur Hackett, the aoted tenor, will be the commencement day singer.

AMERICAN LEGION PLANS MEMORIAL DAY ACTIVITIES The executive committee of Lincoln Post, No. 3, the American Legion, met Wednesday evening at the office of Commander Fawell. Among other matters of business considered by the committee was the program for Memorial day and the part to be taken by the American Legion. It was proposed by several members to have airplanes fly over the cemetery and drop flowers upon ihe graves of veterans as a part of the day's ceremonies. In view of the settled policy of the Legion not to take the Initiative in Memorial day exercises but to follow and co-operate with the G. A. R. the proposal was negatived. It was considered by the committee that to drop flowers from airplanes as proposed would be a departure from the program arranged by the G. A. R. and an encroachment upon the right of Civil war veterans to de termine the nature nad character of exercises to be held on the day es tablished and preserved by them as Memorial day. It was voted by the committee to use whatever funds were necessary to insure the success of the Pershing banquet on June 3,. tickets for which are being reserved by letters and telegrams from ex-service men in every part of the state.
