Smith, exocutlve secretary. University of Nebraska hus applied for a larger number of delegates than It Is entitled to. Some very ablo speakers will ad dress the convention at the five eve ning sessions. They will come from all parts of the United States und there will also be several from for eign countries. , A part of each day will be devoted to a helpful consideration of ques tions concerning the student volun teer, the promotion and fostering of missionary Interests among all stud ents, the financial problems of mil slon8. the extension and development of the student volunteer movement, the responsibility resting upon the church at home, ard the challenge to students, presented by the great for ward movement within the churches. One afternoon will be devoted to simultaneous conferences on the great fields or China, India, Japan. Africn, Turkey, and the far east. On another afternoon there will be conferences for consideration of various types of missionary activities, such as med ical, educational, religious, industrial, and literary. Another afternoon will be devoted to conferences by boards and societies thus affording the delegates an oppor tunity to meet the foreign missionary leaders of their own communions. Each of these afternoon conferences will have its own chairman and spe ciul program. Special music will be under the di rection of the association quartette. Aa txliilit cl literature for promot ing miwionr.iy intelligence among students j ml careful selection of books and pamphlets dealing with the various mission problems with a staff of workers will give information re garding the best reference material on foreign missions. The basis of representation is, two student delegates from each institu tion, and one additional student dele gate for each 100 students or fraction thereof above the first 200 students matriculated in the Institution. Ev ery delegate chosen will pay as much as possible toward his or her own ex penses. Des Moines has arranged to accommodate 7,000 delegates, 1,000 of which will be entertained in private homes. A personal canvass among students, faculty, graduates, and friends of the institution is a pos sible way for securing funds to meet expenses of those unable to pay the full cost of the trip. . THE GEOGRAPHIC CHILD The earth outside is like a nut. And inside full of flame; They say it's like an orange but It doesn't look the same. Geography, Geography, is: such a pleasant study; It tells you why the ocean's dry, and why the desert's muddy; I study it at morning, and at after noon, and then I keep the teacher in so I may study it again. The Artie circle is a swing That teacher makes with chalk It's not a very pleasant thing To go there for a walk. A river is the funniest thing. That's on the map, I think; It's something like a piece of string, And yet it's good to drink.' The sea is water by the sand, And very seldom dry; it looks like bluing water, and It tastes like when you cry. A valley is a streak of land That's something like a trough, And if you get it on your hand You have to wash it off. Why France is buff, and Russia blue Nobody knows perhaps. But anyone can see it's true By looking at the maps. A mountain is a bumpy hurt. An isthmus is a path; An island is a lump of dirt Surrounded by a bath. Geography, geography is such a pleas ant study; It tells you why the ocean's drv and why the desert's muddy; I study it at morning and at after noon, and then I keep the teach in. so I may study it again. A $50 diamond medal and $50.00 in gold is the prize in the state oratoical contest of the Texas Intercollegiate Prohibition Association. The officers report that this association will con tinue the contest, but will turn the subject matter to prohibition enforce ment and world prohibition.

AAi First With the New Styles It is through our doorw:iy that the new styles first make their appearance in this city, because it is here that Society Brand Clothes are sold. At the start of each season men come to us and ask, "What is Society Brand showing?" When we display these new ideas, as we are now doing, it's an opportunity you ought not miss. gwrirtvj Irani (EhnfyH FOR YOUNG MEN AND MEN WHO STAY YOUNG These clothes cost a little more, but it costs more to make them. Each garment is cut by hand. Each tailored by hand in accordance with most exacting specifications. Thus the style is in-built. It is not put in with a hot iron. As a result a Society Brand garment never loses its style and shapeliness. Mayer FOS ELI SHIRE, Pret Go KEUEBIISiEEi VSWXBZ it 2 Iff. 4 , 4 ' ? i f tet J$ '"tip ' .V j n 4 - s i Saucy Nutii.
