James J. Hill.
Professor Howard R. Smith of the

Minn., acting for "Mr. Hill. Other
large companies throughout the Unit

book for distribution.
The St. Paul Dispatch quotes Mr.
Hill as saying of Professor Smith's
book: "A careful reading of the book
convinces me that the author has mas

ner and his advice will help every
farmer to do better work."

CHANCELLOR AVERY
-AT UNIVERSITY FARM
Speaks to Agriculture Students at Con
vocation Urge Them to Im
prove Conditions at Home.
The responsibility of Ihe graduate to
his home community was urged in his
annual convocation talks to the boys
and girls of tire school of agriculture
by Chancellor Avery Tuesday morn
ing at the university farm. The chan
cellor does not blame the school direc
tor in many of the districts for not
beautifying the rural school and mak
ing it a better place for receiving an
education. He says that he will be
disappointed, however, if the graduate
does not go home and be prepared to
take his place in rural leadership,
either in the church, school, or on the
farm. I
"It does a community no good for
a graduate to go home, to swell out his
chest, ani tell the neighbors of a com
munity what great fools they are,"
continued Chancellor' Avery. "It is
better if one would reform a neighbor
hood to work much by example. The
graduate of the school should be tact
ful If he would improve his local con
ditions. He may do great good
through his daily work and conversa
tion. Chancellor Avery said that if the
students of the school were not there
to apply their time to some practical
end, he wished that they had not
registered. He urged the necessity of
agricultural ideals, whether that ideal
be of one or another of the many
phases of farming.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
MEET A SUCCESS
Speaker Drove Home Facts Solo by
Mrs. Perdue at Close of
Program.
The Woman Suffrage meeting held
at the Temple last night was a suc
cess. C. A. Sorensen presided and
first Introduced W. B. Hardy, who em
phasized strongly the taxation prob
lem, saying 62,000 women in the
United States were paying taxes and
were not allowed to vote. Mr. TibbeL,
the next speaker, spoke on the relative
knowledge of man and woman saying
that there was no reason for 6exual
distinction now since government was
carried on with brain and not strength
as in medieval times. J. L. Kennedy
of Omaha, the last speaker, spoke first
on the amendment No. 306 which Is to
be voted on November 3rd. He spoke
at length, on the present condition of
the polls saying that one, argument
against woman suffrage was that vot
ing places were not fit for a woman to
go. If this is the case he thought
that it was about time they were
changed and that woman suffrage
wonld do it. He eald that It would
also mean that women would become
educated along political lines so they
could talk politics intelligently and
wonld help both man and wife as ro
man would want a dummy for a wife
unless one himself. He said that the
government was cot of the people with
the better half left out. The meeting
closed with a very well rendered solo
by Mrv. Perdue.
By H. I. Kyle. "
In anticipation of, perhaps, the hard
est game of the season, the coach has
again shifted the line-up, with a view
to strengthening the defense, and also
to facilitate the playing of open style
football, which will probably be re
sorted to. It will be remembered that
it was only by the use of the forward
pass that the 1913 Cornhuskers were
able to score on Minnesota.
Howard, who has been tried at
quarterback, and later at fullback, has
been sent to the left end, where he
starred two years ago, while his place
at fullback is being filled by Lum
Doyle whose work in that positon in
the Kansas Aggie game showed that
he has the ability, and needs but ex
perience to become a phenomenal full
back. Howard appeared to be per
fectly at home in his old position from
the moment he stepped into it
That the spirit has at last moved
the alumnae was evidenced by the ap
pearance of several former Cornhusker
stars on the gridiron to assist in
coaching the men in the finer points of
the game, as they used to play it.
Jim Harvey, "Pip" Cook, the Mason
brothers, Cy and Glen, and "Dog" El
liot were there showing their succes
sors how it should be done. John
Westover has also been out with the
team several times in the past week.
There is room for more however, and
now, if ever, is the time for the old
grads to show that their interest in
their school did not cease with the
getting of a diploma.
After the men had been instructed,
