PRACTICAL RELIGION
AT MID-WEEK SERVICES
Dean R. A. Lyman of the college of
pharmacy told some of the ways of
making religion practical In the daily
life of the University, at the regular
mid-week devotional services of the

ity alone will not solve social prob
lems there must be more a relig
ious experience. Religion, he said,
must work side by side with the de
velopment of the Intellect.

versity June 13, Chancellor Avery and
H. M. Bushnell of the Lincoln Com

June that he could come, and might
even welcome the diversion. The
chancellor will return soon.

THREE ESSENTIALS IN
SUCCESSFUL DAIRYING
l Murray of Lincoln Pure Butter
Company Names Them to
Members of Dairy Club
K. L. Murray, president of the Lin
coln Pure Butter company, talked to
the LTniversity dairy club at a meet
ing held In the new Dairy building
Tuesday, on commercial phases of
dairying.
The three main essentials in suc
cessfully putting out a dairy product
are to do a large volume of business,
produce it economically, and have a
good market, according to Mr. Murray.
"For highest returns it is necessary
to produce an article that meets the
special demands of different markets,"
he said. He further urged that a
trade name be given the product to
aid in selling.
