According to Prof. II. E. Bradford, principal, most of the boys who attended this school are under 21 years of age and conse quently are not subject to the selec tive draft. It is thought that some of these boys may fill the places of older men called to the colors but that the decrease will not be marked. The school opens October 12. Full information as to entrance require ments will be sent upon application to the School of Agricnlture, Uni versity Farm, Lincoln. MEAT SUHST1TUTKS Cottage cheese is one of the best mea.t substitutes known, according to home economics specialists at the University of Nebraska. It con tains a larger percentage of protein, or body-building material, than most meats, and it supplies this at a much lower cost. A pound of cottage cheese contains about one-fifth of a pound of protein, nearly all of which is digestible. Meats usually con tain less protein and have considera ble waste. A pound of cottage cheese daily supplies all the protein required' by an ordinary adidt. STOKAGi: OK POTATOES Where potato tops have dried, tu bora. should mot be left in the ground but should be dug immedi ately, according to horticulturists at the Nebraska Experiment Station. A large percentage of the tubers will rot if they are allowed to re main in the ground. To store them temporarily, they may be piled up in a board enclosure in the open and covered with boards or straw to shed the rain. They will keep until December 1 when stored in this way. Further information as to storage of potatoes and garden products will be found in Emegency Bulletin No.l(), which will bo serit upon ap plication to the Extension Service, University Farm, Lincoln. ItOUaiNQ OUT DISEASED POTATO IS Because one ennnot distinguish diseased from disease-free tubers in the bin, western Nebraska potato growers who intended to use home grown seed next year are urged to select seed potatoes in the field by roguing out diseased plants. Bin selection, tno Hotter than none, is not satisfactory, since diseased pota' toes may not show external evidences of disease, says the department of plant pathology and physicology of the University of Nebraska. Uogu ing out diseased plants may be fol lowed by selection on the basis of lull production" at digging time. In this way, disease-free and produc tive Peed will be obtained. CLEAN FUSII1LE SAKCTV PUKi Ileplacing burned-out safety plugs with bolts instead of with new fusible plugs is one of tho common causes of explosion of tractor boilers, according to the department of ag ricultural engineering of tho Uni versity of Nebraska. A careful ex amination and clean-up of the plug is recommended at least once during the thresing season. To make the clean-up thoro, remove the plug and scrape off the scale-like deposit on the topof tho plug. This done, low water in tho boiler will not result in an explosion, but will merely mean melting the plug to allow the steam to escape into tho fire box. KEGISTUATIQN AT COLLEGE OP AOM CUETUHP.

MOST AUTOS BOUGHT HERE So Dealers Plan Great Exhibit at In- terstato Live Stcsk Fair. Spurred on by official announcement at the state capitals that Iowa is tho greatest state for automobile pur chases in the union, considered on a per capita basis, and that Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota are al most in tho same class as buyers of all kinds of cars, manufacturers and deal ers havo appealed to Joe Morton, sec retary of tho Interstate Live Stock Fair, to provide for a greatly enlarged exhibit area for motors and accesso ries at tho big Sioux City exposition, September 17 to 22, inclusive. Tho automobilo dealers of Sioux City will havo general charge of the motoi show at tho fair, which has grown in the last few years from an experiment to ono of the really most important foatures. Tho dealers have found by experience that the display of cars at tho fair in the fall, when people of the farming communities havo practi cally completed tholr harvesting, is far more successful from tho sales stand point than the annual Indoor shows in tho spring, bo they arc planning to mako this year's Interstate show at tho fair grounds the most compre hensive yet given In this section. Cars that will be shown and demon strated on automobile row will cover the wholo rango of production, from tho practical Uttlo $360 machine to tho classiest products of American motor and coach builders. It Is planned, It possiblo, to introduce also a few of tho more famous foreign makes. Somo of tho fancier cars will go up in price into figures away beyond $10,000. Probably 100 cars will be on exhibi tion. Secretary Morton has arranged to house tho exhibition of machines In a groat, continuous hall of canvas, whero experts In all lines of auto knowledge will glvo advice and urge" tho advantages of tho various trim machines. Tho show is to be mado especially entertaining this year foi tho folks who aro probably not in tho market now for a car, but may reach that stage some time in the future.

"This improvement," said Mr. Mor ton, "involved the apportioning of considerably more money for free en tertainment features than tho associa tion has over felt Justified in laying out before.
