Those w ho were VBtBtttfMtfC for a
university in which social lines should
l.' obliterated and a group of co-ordinate
democracies set up were divided
from those who were content DM in
tain and even accentuate distinctions
by a cleavage as deep as any that ex
ists in the world todny. No wonder
that the partialis of the opposition, in
the hoard and out, locked on Wilson
ms a dangerous man; no wonder that
he, slowly aroused by their vilifica
tion, began occasionally to unslip the
leosh of his tongue, denounce colleges
nud churches for yleldiug to "the ac
cursed domination of money" and
make Impassioned appeals for n dec
laration of college Independence. When

man to bother about a abock absorber.
At Pittsburgh, addressing alumni, he
poured out all bis aoul:
The great voice of America does not
come from seats of learning. It comes In
a murmur from the hills and woods and
the farms and factories and the mills,
rolling on and gaining valume until It
cornea to us from the homes of common
men. Do these murmurs echo In the cor
ridors of universities? I have not heard
them.
The universities would make men for

versal sympathies, and Join a class, and
no class ever can serve America.
I have dedicated every power that there
la within me to bring the colleges that I
have anything to do with to an absolutely
democratic regeneration In spirit.
1 know that the colleges of this country
must be reconstructed from top to bot
tom, and I know that America Is going to
demand It. While Princeton men pause
and think I hope that they will think on
these things that they will forget tradi
tion la the determination to see to It that
the free air of America shall permeate
every cranny of their college.
Will America tolerate the seclusion of
graduate students? Wit! America tolerate
the Idea of having graduate students set
apart? America will tolerate nothing ex
cept unpatronlsed endeavor. Seclude a
man, aeparate him from the rough and
tumble of collega life, from all the con

be no reply. In an issue thus clearly
defined before the whole world (for the
Pittsburgh speech got Into the papers.

board of college trustees would have
dared sep:ir:ite Itself from the bold
speaker.
No reply? No living men to take Is

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
What Three Bushels More to the
Acre Means
IGHT years ago the farmers in a
central state averaged crops that
ran three bushels less to the acre
than they now get. Suppose each
acre of farm land in the country
were so tended that it produced an increase
equal to that of this state. How much more
money would you have with which to buy the
luxuries of life that you earn and deserve?
Your share in this prosperity depends entirely
upon yot'rself. The first step is to fertilize
your land properly with manure spread by an
I H C Manure Spreader
The spreader that does its work as it should
must have many excellent mechanical features.
The apron should move without jerking; the
beater should meet the load at exactly the
right point to pulverize the manure without
too greatly increasing the draft of the machine;
the speed changes of the apron should be posi
tive. All these features are provided for in
the construction of I H C spreaders.
I H C spreaders are made in low styles which
are not too low for use in deep mud or snow,
narrow and wide, with both reverse and end
less aprons, for use under all conditions. The
rear axle is located well under the box, instead
of at the rear. Placed in that position (under
the box) it carries over 70 per cent of the load
and insures ample tractive power.
