Relics Dating Back to Years of Fore
fathers Long List ,of Interest
ing Features in
Library.
C. S. Paine, secretary of the Ne
braska state historical society, Dr.
Gilmore, curator; of the museum, and
Mrs. Knotts, -the society's librarian,
accompanied to Omaha Tuesday a col
lection of relics and curios which are
on display this week at the meeting of
the Nebraska Territorial Pioneers' As
sociatiou. The larger part of the ex
hibit is the property of the state his
torical society.
One of the Interesting relics is an
old wooden breaking plow. In point
of years and general appearance this
particular plow would havo not tho
slightest difficulty In passing as the
modus operandi mentioned in that
chapter tf the Bible where refrence Is
made to Moses' ploughing through the
wilderness for forty years. It should
here be explained that the term
"breaking plow" was given on account
of its actions when In use, owing to Its
more or less substantial construction
from cottonwood.
Other articles in the collection were
plants used for food by the Indians, a
small tepee, photographs and docu
ments from the library, and a number
of pieces of wearing apparel In which
the hale and hearty frontier girl was
wont to deck herself.
The curios taken to Omaha are only
a few out of .an taniense collection
that the historical society has ac
quired. The rooms of this society in
the basement of the Library are open
to all students aad It Is well worth the
time required to visit this part of the
campus. Not the Jeast of the attrac
Uons is a file of over five hundred
weekly papers from over the state".

Rally 1
L FIT RALLY
CO-OPERATION IN ALL FORMS TO
BE CAREFULLY DEALT WITH.
BUSINESS ESSENTIAL OBJECT
Prominent Students and Others Are on.
Program Scholarship Attain-" v
ments to be Earnestly
Emphasized.
Co-operative buying by the fraterni
ties is to be discussed by the Greeks
tonight in the Law auditorium. The
Inter-fraternity Council will present
their general policy and invite a gen
eral discussion. Last year-at a simi
lar meeting to the one to be held to
night, the fraternities agreed to try
out co-operation this year in purcbas-J
ing their supplies. Coal, dairy and
food products will thus be made one of
the least items in fraternal upkeep.
The rally however, will be more than
a. business meeting; good music and
some leaders in student activities will
put the vital ginger into it.
Prof. Buck, president of the Inter-
frater ity Council, will make some re
marks tm "The Rules," discussing the
advantage and necessity of co-opera
tion among the fraternities. Mr,
Rudge. cf Rudge & Guenzel, will speak
on "What Business Men Demand of
University Men." "Bill" Ritchie has
been planning hard on a high scholar
ship standard among the Greeks for
this year. He firmly believes that
promptness in handing in assignments
and the ellmiantion of the chronic
sluffer wiil raise the average scholar
ship 10 to 15 per cent He will discuss
"Business Methods of Conducting
School Work." "The obligations of a
fraternity to its freshmen" will be dis
cussed by Guy Reed. Prank Perkins
will show the general relation of fra
ternities to school activities.
When the new pledges return to
their relatives Thanksgiving, their

doo, will discuss the hows of making

audience spurred the Dean to his best
It seems thaf the larger per cent of
University students much rather pre
fer hearing Dean Engberg lecture to
the whole student body than to hear
him lecture to individuals. It remains
to be seen which line of lectures does
the most good.
The subject of the Dean's address
was "A College Man's Use of His

STUDENTS TO STUDY
SYMPHONY MUSIC
Music Lovers Organize Under
Raymond to Study Construe
tion of Symphonies.
Mrs
A few music, .lovers have grouped
themselves together to make a closer
study of the symphonies which Mrs.
Raymond hopes to present once a
month at convocations. The construc
tion of symphonies will be analyzed
in an informal way and the motifs
pointed out In simplified form so that
all may become acquainted with them
before the symphony is given. Meet
ings are held each Saturday after
noon from 5 to 6 o'clock In Art Hall.
Professor- Dann and Mrs. Raymond
have consented to take charge of
these very informal meetings. Any
students or members of the faculty
who would be interested to know
symphonies more intimately are cor
dially invited to attend. This coming
Saturday the first Beethoven sym
phony will be analyzed. It is hoped
in this way to make the musical con
vocations of even greater profit than
last year.
FIRM BULLETIN IS
BEING SENT OUT
Contains Discussion of Milk Test
Prof. Frandsen Says Subject Not
Understood.
"The Babcock Test and Its Use In
Herd Improvement," by J. H. Frand
sen, head of the department of dairy
husbandry, is the title of Extension
Bulletin No. 25 just Issued. The author
writes In his opening paragraph, "As
the farmers of Nebraska are realizing
the importance and possibilities of sys
tematic 'improvement of their dairy
herds, there is an increasing demand
for information in regard to operating
the Babcock test A great deal 61 in
formation has been written regarding
testing milk, but enough inquiries have
come to the writer to warrant the as
sertion that the subject is not fully
understood by all."
Prof. Frandsen would Impress the
reader that although the test requires
care, yet at the same time It is an in
expensive and most useful operation.
Girls' Notice.
The Black Masques request that all
girls who have tickets for tho girls'
section at the football game Saturday

WASHBURN HOPEFUL
ICHABODS HAVE VETERAN TAM
WfLL GIVE REAL BATTLE.
TEAM PUT THROUGH GRIND
Howard and Rutherford Are Again in
The Line-up Coach is Still Work- -ing
to Develop Suitable
Ends.
By H. I. Kyle.
A lather short but exceedingly hard
scrimmage session was the feature of
Coach Stiehm's football program yes
terday afternoon. 'Amack and Balis
were placed at the ends of the 'varsity-line-up,
while Wilson and Schmirda
played the same positions on the sec
ond team. As before, the principal at
tention of the coaches was directed to
ward these men with a view to fitting
them, as far as possible, to their jobs,
before Saturday's game.
Warren Howard was out in full re
galia and able to limp through signal
practice, though he did not participate -in
the,scrimmage. He announced that
he would be in condition to play,
against Washburn on Saturday If tho
coach saw fit to use him. Porter, who
is also a promising candidate for the
quarterback position, is laid up with a
badly sprained ankle. This throws the
brunt of the quarterback work on
Hawkins who Is showing rapid Im
provement Rutherford was back on
the job playing wtih all his old time
pep and vigor. As a fullback Guy.
Chamberlain, is just beginning to find
himself, much to the satisfaction of
the coaches and the delight of the fans
who fill the stands each afternoon.
Washburn Game Not a Cinch.
News comes from Topeka that the
Washburn Ichabods "admit" that the
result of next Saturday's game with
Nebraska is doubtful. To the Ne
braska partisan who feels inclined to
laugh at what he may consider an
unseemly and presumptuous attitude
on the part of our little southern rival.
