"Can all you can" is the slogan

food officials everywhere in helping
to conserve the nation's food supply
u well as to increase its gross
tmount.
Besides teaching young women in
the University how best to help dur
ing the summer to prepare against
the rainy day which government ex
perts say is sure to come, the de
partment is sending out handy re
cipes for the 1917 canning season, a
canning season which is destined to
be more vital than any in the memory
of an American housewife. Co-eds
are advised to cut out the recipes
and send them to the home folks,
and also to make use of them during
week-ends at home.
The first bulletin announces that
rhubarb, asparagus and dandelions
are now ready to be put up for winter
, use. How to can these three "eat
ables" successfully and easily, as
prescribed by the home economics ex

Why The Rag Is
Editor Dally Nebraskan: A recent
issue of The Daily Nebraskan fel'

wanted to know "Why the Rag Ih
Called the Rag.' I think the honor
(if it can be so called) belongs to
Chancellor Canfield. One day some
23 years ago while in his office I
referred to The Nebraskan as "The
Rag." He paused in characteristic
pose, h's glasses half raised but re-

REGISTRAR'S OFFICE STILL
RUSHED WITH APPLICATIONS
Five Ce-Ed. in the List Farm Take,
by Far the Most
, . Student.
An even seven hundred students, of
whom five were co-eds, had with
drawn from the University "on ac
count of the war emergency," by 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon. Permis
sions granted Friday numbered 68;
Saturday, 19. The big drop Saturday
is considered only temporary by the
registrar's office, which expects the
rush to begin again Monday. The
high point, however, is thought to
have been passed.
Many to Farm
Of the 87 who secured their re
leases Friday and Saturday, by far
the most of them will go to the farms.
The officers' reserve training camp
at Fort Snelling will call the next
largest number. In addition there
will be some who go into the coast
artillery service and other branches
of the regular army, into the na
tional guard, and at least one, Leo
L. Pace, '18, of Guide Rock, will go
to prepare himself to enter the naval
academy at Annapolis.
One Co-Ed Goes
One co ed was granted permission
to leave Saturday. She was Lillian
A. Hendee, '20, of Sloan, la., who
will go to her home to help super
vise the farm.

, RECEPTION IN
GALLERY SATURDAY
. The members of the Manual Train
ing Art Teachers' association were
the guests of the art department at
an informal reception given in the
gallery Friday afternon from 4 to 6
o'clock. Some' examples . of the work
of the classes fluring the year were
exhibited.
VARSITY HUCKSTERS
MAKE SHOWING
THREE NOTABLE PERFORMANCES
IN MEET SATURDAY
Graf Break. University Record in 2
Mile by Seven Second. Finney
and Werner Shine
Three notable performances fea
tured the "free-for-all" track meet
held on Nebraska field Saturday aft
ernon. Graf ran the two mile in nine
minutes and fifty-nine seconds, Finney
scrambled over the high hurdles in
sixteen seconds and Werner made a
leap of twenty-two feet four inches in
the broad jump.
Grafs time was the most sensa
tional, for it broke the former Ne
braska record, held by Louis Ander
son since 1909, by seven seconds.
The feat was all the more remarkable
because he ran most of the distance
without competition, being paced for
three laps.
Finney Presses Record
Werner's jump was within four
inches of the local record, held by
Wiley. Finney's time is one-fifth of
a second slower than that made by
MacDonald in 1909.
The time in other events was noth
ing exceptional although none of
them were slow.
Rutherford, Corey and Zumwinkle
were the only alumni to score. Ruther
ford took first in the javelin, Corey
first in the discus and second in
the shot and Zumwinkle took third
in the broad jump.
The summary follows:
100-yard dash Owen, Werner, Mc
Mahon, 10:2.
220-yard dash Werner, McMahon,
Bryans, 23:1.
440-yard dash Owen, Jackson,
Bryans, 53:4.

PREPARE POST FOR
COMING RECRUITS
PICTURESQUE FT. SNELLING
READY FOR FUTURE OFFICERS
Most of Those Who Attend Camp Will
Be College Men Many From
Nebraska
BY RICHARD COOK
(Staff Representative)
St. Paul, Minn., May 4. When more
than two thousand embryo young
warriors of the middle west gather
on the green at Fort Snelling this
week, the fort will appear like a
mixing pot into which college men
of every type, disposition, "frat" and
situation in life will have thrown
'themselves. To a great extent the
officers' training camp at Fort Snell
ing will be a college camp. Men are
coming from the state universities
of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, the
Dakotas, and a few from Illinois and
Wisconsin. Grinnell, Drake, Morning
side, Carlton, St. Thomas Military
Academy, St. Paul, are but a few of
the smaller institutions sending
quotas Fort Snellingward.
Officers at the camp have noted the
large number of men the Cornhusk
ers are furnishing. Most of Ne
braska's men in camp are coming
from Lincoln and Omaha; the ma
jority of them are University lads.
In Picturesque Country
One might sit here in St. Paul and
try to write about the beauties of
the country about Fort Snelling, but
he couldn't begin to picture the
scenery as it will unfold itself be
fore the boys who Nebraska will
send soon.
Fort Snelling is such a big reserva
tion that three or four Lincoln city
blocks would be lost in it. Con
gress has been muckraked in recent
years for giving big "pork" outlays
to build the structures for barracks,
officers' homes and other purposes at
this post; now every one of these
buildings will be used and used soon.
The post overlooks from a high
cliff the Mississippi, which is a
