Departments of University Extending
Their Work to Aid Citizens of
State Thousands of Dol
lars Saved as Result.
Numerous reports have been pub
lished In the NBBRASKAN concern
ing the investigations of the Conser
vation Soil Survey department, con-
UCtcdnmdeTthoTJniVeTBit7rMaTir
students have inquired as to the rela
tionship of this work with the Uni
versity, and In an interview with a
director the following facts were ob
tained: Instruction of students Is not the
only function of the Nebraska State
University. By an act of the last
legislature the duty of Investigating
foreign land frauds was added to the
,( long list of services. During the past
six months the department corps of
assistants have been traveling to the
four winds prying into the affairs of
foreign land companies which wish to
sell land to Nebraskans. Several
trips have been made to Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado and other western
states. At present the work In this
office has swamped the officials. They
have demands for investigations in
Missouri, Mississippi and Florida,
with many other possibilities which
will be taken up in their order.
Through the -workof this-depart
ment the University has sayed nroa
pectlvo Nebraska land buyers many
thousands of dollars. It comes as a
direct reward for the, maintenance of
this state institution. Many citizens
have availed themselves of the oppor
tunity to seek Its aid and the number
is constantly increasing.

GAMP FIRE GIRLS
DRESS AS INDIANS
Under Auspices of Y. W. C. A. Pre-
paring to Conduct Meeting of the
Younger School Girls.
At the Y. V. C. A. vesper services
last evening tho "Camp Fire" girls held
a ceremonial meeting for tho benefit
of other girls who are interested in
learning something of their work.
Afterwards Miss Igerna -Montgomery
gave a very interesting talk.
The "Camp Fire" is an organization
under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A.
which is very similar to the "Boy
Scouts." It is primarily for young
girls about the age of ten to fourteen.
The University girls are learning it
to become leaders for tho younger
girls out In the state.
At this ceremonial meeting the
rls were attired-ag-Indlqn: maidens,
In their long, loose gowns, trimmed in
leather fringe. They wore their hair
-in braidsand adorned tnemsetKea.!
with beads. They made a pretty spec
tacle, sitting In a circle on tho floor,
Tn a darkened room, lighted only "by
three burning candles In their midst
which stood for work, health and love.
Miss Montgomery choso two of tho
laws of tho "Camp Fire" to talk about.
Her chief thought waB "what wo put
into our work Is what counts, and
makes It worth while." Igerna Mont
gomery was a graduate of the class of
'13, a Black Masque, and a very actlvo
motrfber of tho Y. W. C. A. Sho is
now teaching domestic science and
English In tho Superior High School.
Professor Hopt Resigns.
Professor Hopt, head professor of
field crops In tho College of Agricul
ture, has sent in his resignation. In
Professor Hopt, Nobraska Is losing
one of its best men. His loss will be
keenly felt by all his students and
the vacancy will be difficult to fill.
RURAL CHURCH DIS
CUSSED BY DEAN BURNETT
Churches Should Be Representative
Mr. Oden Sang Solo Audience
Well-Pleased;
Dean Burnett spoko at tho regular
Y. M. C. A. meeting last night before
a largo attendance. The topic of the
talk was "The Rural Church." Tho
dean stated tliat tho real solution of
tho problem is to have country minis
ters technically trained In agriculture.
Country churches should represent
the community. Tho churches should
be distributed among tho rural dis
tricts. There aro too many churches
in the small towns to bo properly sup
ported. Tho denominational difficul
ties are much to blame for tho trouble
among tho country organizations.
Mr. Oden sang a solo at the meet
ing which was also well liked by tho
audience which filled the Y. M. C. A.
room.

sults with one of the Nobraskan re
porters: About a hundred of tho

Many students came to school both,

consequently could not put in their
orders, for no boks were sold without
