Carroll's Nebraska Stat Bank Bldg. 15th and O. 4 'X lit.j r Mi ll 77 ' 1 I - One of tho caretakers of some of the sollege buildings of the Oregon Agricultural College located at Cor valli8, Ore., was one of the first contributors toward tho growth of the school. This man is A. F. Starr, whose children are now attending the school that he helped to build, although he was unable to do so himself. In 1887, Benton county, Oregon, gave thirty-five acres of land to se cure a permanent college at Corval lis. Work was started at once on the construction of the administration building. Before they were assured of the location of the college there, however, it was necessary for the people of that county to raise a large sum of money. It was at this time that Mr. Starr helped with his bit He pledged twenty-five dollars, earning every cent of it by grubbing oak wood at a dollar a cord. At that time twenty five dollars had the buying power of over a hundred dollars today, for men could be hired to work a twelve hour day for seventy-five cents. Fin ished lumber for the building was purchased at twenty dollars a thou sand. Corvallis at that time had a population of only two thousand people. Mr. Starr's hobby today is pencil sketching, drawing all his picture's from memory as he knew things a quarter to a half a century ago. In this line Mr. Starr has had few les sons and didn't start to draw until he was past fifty years in age. WOMEN FIRE IN RIFLE MATCHES Good Scores Made in First Meets of Season for Women's Team. The women's rifle team fired a complete four-position match last week for the first time since the or ganization of the team. The team score was 2,947. The firing from four positions was against the Michi gan Aggies. Five other matches for the week were at the prone, and prone and sitting positions. The prone position total was 919, an average of 91.9 per team member. Vermont and Montana universities were the opponents. The University of Missouri women fired in the prone and sitting posi tions. The Nebraska score for this match was 1,758. Cornell University and Washington State College match es were for five women in the prone position only. Nebraska's score was 470. Marie Hermanek proved herself the premier Nebraska woman marks man in the prone positions with her score of 99, but she fell down con siderably in the other positions, es pecially in the standing. D. Abbott was high markswoman in the four positions with a score of 311. Luella Reckmeyer was only one point behind, with a total of 310. The shooting gallery is open for women Monday and Tuesday morn ings from 9 to 12 o'clock. The team still needs more members to increase tbp rnmnetition and have the re quired fifteen from whom to choose the .high ten for the week. Captain Eggcrs, director of marks manship, thinks that the women's team can improve its score a great deal especially in the standing, kneel ing and sitting positions if the team members will practice consistently. Most of the returns will be in this week with the possible exception of Michigan and Missouri. Individual scores for the first week are: D. A. Abbott 311 L. Reckmeyer 310 G. Foster 307 E. C. Cox 305 K. Jensen 302 W. Kidwell ....301 L. Bauer 299 I. Lawles .' 288 E. Shively 270 M. Hermanek 254 Team total 2947. Average 294.7.

As you can see this fellow isn't old enough to shave but here he is crying his soul out because his mama won't dress him like his big brother. You see he has already decided that just as soon as he has any say in his af fairs, he'll be wearing a Kuppenheim er suit. Poor devil he can t help how his mother dresses him. Prof. N. A.
