Several are men of letters and are connected with big publishing interests. Frank Harris is one of the most notable ones. He is editor of the Pearson's Magazine. He was formerly editor of the Saturday Review of London and claimed management in writing of the two famous English writers, George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells.

Elihu Root Asks For K. U. Folder on Advice
Dean Receives Many Requests For Booklets on Advice to Young Men and Women
A request from Elihu Root, head of the United States Commission to Russia and former Secretary of State, for several of the University folders entitled "Some Advice to Some Young Men", published early by University, has been received by Dena O'Tillman, Mr. Root's letter reads:
Mr. Root's letter is one of many requests that have been received for these booklets, which are composed of letters of advice on education, written to Dean Templin by foremost men and women in the country. At this time, whether to go or not to go to college has been a great problem for the young man and woman to decide, and because of this two book
"An old friend told me the other day that his boy was in doubt as to what he ought to do about going to college. I told him of your folder of opinions on that subject and he is anxious to get one. Can you send me two or three?" I think I can make them useful."
you will be unless you 'phone today for an appointment at Squires Studio. Senior photos for the Mayhawk are due December 21. 'Phone 517 NOW.
SORRY
lets were issued to advise them. The title of the folder for women is "Some Advice to Some Young Women."
The letters in the booklet represent the opinion of President Wilson and many other leading men and women, who were in charge during Dr. Anna Howard Shaw follow:
Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States: "It would seriously impair America's prospects of success in this war if the supply of highly trained men were unnecessarily diminished. There will be need for a larger number of persons expert in various fields of applied science than ever before. Such persons needed both during the war and after it. Therefore have no hesitation in urging colleges and technical schools to endeavor to maintain their courses as far as possible on the usual basis.
"Those who fall below the age of selective conscription and who do not enlist may feel that by pursuing their courses with earnestness and diligence, they also are preparing themselves for valuable service to the Nation. I would particularly urge upon the young people who are leaving our high schools that as many of them as can do so avail themselves this year of the opportunity through the college technical schools, to the end that the country may not lack an adequate supply of trained men and women."
Anna Howard Shaw, Chairman of National Defense; Washington:
"I am very glad to give you my opinion in regard to the immediate duty of those young women. I am receiving many such inquiries over the country, and my invariable answer is: 'Your first duty to your country is to go to school.' There can be no higher service rendered by young women today than thoroughly preparing them for useful work for their country."
Because of the numerous requests for these booklets the first edition has been completely exhausted and an additional is to be printed as soon as possible.
Hill Postoffice Orders More Three-cent Stamps
A large supply of three-cent stamps will soon be ordered by the post-office in Fraser Hall, in anticipation of the demand which will begin Friday, November 2, when the war tax on mail will go into effect. Where three-cent stamps have formerly been ordered by the hundreds, they will now be ordered by the dands, since the stamps of larger deference will probably be used in preference to a number of ones and twos.
The war tax on U. S. mail is not a tax of one cent on each piece, but a tax on the basis of each ounce. Letters now going for one cent will be two, two will be three, and four will be six.
The average sale of stamps a day at the post-office in Fraser is now about $45. The increase in postage rates will probably raise this amount to $60, or a third more than is now required by the office of any chance in the parcel-post rate, although this may be done later.
