The University of Nebraska will
be well represented by educational
exhibits at the annual Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben
livestock show, according
to an announcement made from
the college of agriculture today by
Clayton W. Watkins, general
chairman of the exhibit.
Probably one of the most unique
exhibits will be that of apples by
the horticulture department. E. H.
Hoppert, extension horticulturist,
has charge of the exhibit. The ex
hibit will feature apples from the
university fruit farm and from
commercial growers. Signs will
emphasize the qualities of the Ne

fruit industry of the state will be
explained in other visible signs.
M. B. Yount, assistant barberry
eradication director in Nebraska,
is planning a barberry exhibit
similar to the one at the state fair.
The booth will emphasize the need
of eradicating the barberry bushes.
In the dairy exhibit, as put up
by the dairy department with C.
W. Nibler in charge, it la expected
that the story of herd Improve
ment will be told. Likewise in the
exhibit under the direction of H.
K. Douthit of the university will

Flying dirt! Stinging gravel!

waged numerous "battles with the

According to T. A. Blair of the

velocity of the wind was not very
remarkable ln rate of speed, but
the fact that lt came in gusts
proved disconcerting to various

out where this large rock located
between Admistratlon Building,

is the history of this rock? It is
our understanding that the mark

made by the Indians and perhaps
it contains some ftiportant phases
of history, who knows T
Furthermore, lt is rumored that
this rock was once burled by cer
tain students, whose Identity still
remains a secret. But that Is be
side the point. We would like to
know tbe history of that atone. It
is not just an ordinary stone, we
are sure of that. Information
about any ordinary stone could not
be so well concealed. It is known
that Chancellor Canfleld dedicated
the stone, but old files of the Corn

Evidently there is an Interesting

The plea for financial retrench

similar development in .other

The following dispatch was re

"The college boys and the coeds

such economies as reduced prices

have them has taken place.
Approve Local Orchestras.
"There were a few exceptions.
At some schools the idea was to
"spend normally and bring back
good times," while some college
and university officials expressed
belief that continuance of usual
social expenditures was the better
plan. A fraternity at the Univer

The money will be issued in

The plan was drawn up by the
