George A. Nichols of Butler Brothers, Chicago, will discuss the question, "How Can Merchants Obtain a Profit During the Present Merchandise Crisis?" "All the merchants to whom I have spoken of this address," said F. R. Hamilton, director of the Extension Division, "say that it is just what they need at this time when selling merchandise." Mr. Nichols' address will be based on an investigation that he is now making.

"I expect to see nearly ever member of the Union at the rehearsal tonight," said Professor Nevin this morning. "We have only three evening walks in which to rehearse for the tour." The organizers are important that all members come to every rehearsal, if the coming concert is to be a success.
"Then too, we've having an extraordinary lot of fun out of the rehearsals for the coming concert. The music—most of it—is light and catchy, and it is really a great deal of fun to sing it. You've heard the motto of the Union, of course: 'If your wife won't let you sing at home, and sing with us'?—Well, we're getting results, all right. And everybody in the Union comes to sing just for the pure enjoyment they get out of it."
The program for the December concert is composed of every kind of music from the ridiculous to the sublime, according to Professor Nevin.

PRINTING THAT "SOUR OWL" NOW
Presswork Began Today After Two Weeks of Type- Setting
"The fellow who said the new Owl would be a Sunday School quarterly made a big mistake," said Don Davis, an associate professor of history. "There's just as much 'keen' stuff in this Owl as in any of those issued in the past—only, the material in this number is written more carefully, with the express purpose in view of getting students to see that the students without offending them. The material is, according to all those who have read any of it, decidedly more clever than that of the old Owl."
Presswork on the Sour Owl, which is to make its first appearance in magazine form at the Kansas-Missouri game next week, was begun this morning at the Journal-World. Three weeks ago, he was busy every afternoon during the last two weeks setting up the material and the advertisements for the magazine, and the printers "made up" the pages yesterday. It will take about a month to put them on day or so to bind it. The Owl will be ready to fly a week from Thursday.
Sixteen pages of the publication consist of the usual run of humorous matter, such as appears every week in Life and Judge. There are cartoons by local artists; jokes, verses, and serious edition illustrations. The football note department, owing to the fact that the number is to appear at the Thanksgiving game.
HERE'S WHERE THEY CHUCKLE
The remainder of the magazine is printed in newspaper style, much like the old Owl, and it is here that those will look first on opening the magazine.
For rumor has it that the tales printed there are spicy in the extreme. When asked to divulge the secrets of the number, Davis only smiles and says: "Wait till Thanksgiving."
So that's what we'll have to do.

WHY IS A GUARANTEE?
WHEN the Hotpoint Company first began selling electric irons people were afraid they would not last. Their ten year guarantee overcame this prejudice. Now there is really no need of a guarantee with a HOTPOINT iron—we give it, however, because it is expected.
ATEN YEAR GUARANTEE insuring perfect performance is a part of every HOTPOINT iron. The attached stand, the hot point, the heavily nicked sole plate, the inter-chargeable plug —its any other devices—and many other advantages are all contained in this iron which "smooths out your troubles."
Stop in and look at this wonderful value-whether you wish to purchase or not.
