MUDDY UNTIL OCTOBER
No Change in Lawrence City Water Until Court Passes On Bonds
Lawrence water will remain in its present state of muddiness until the Kansas State Supreme Court passes upon the legality of the water bonds voted in the city election last spring. The case is docked for October 2.
The city's lawyers in Chicago declared the bonds illegal shortly after the spring election, contending that the law of 1905 conflicted with the one of 1915 under which the election was held.
Prof. C. C. Young, of the state water survey department, states that the water is free from all bacteria but is chemically impure. Until the last of October, at least, there can be no change in water conditions.

Methodist Church Will Teach Scout Leaders
The demand for scoutmasters in small towns is becoming so great, superintendents of schools are offering larger salaries to men who can take up scout work with teaching. To help this demand a course in the training program must be offered at the Methodist church at 9:30 o'clock every Sunday morning.
LEARN TO LEAD SCOUTS
The course is in charge of F. W. Bruckmiller, scoutmaster of Troop 3. In addition to the regular training, lectures on boys work in general are planned, taking such subjects as the "Boy's Instincts and Interests," the "Girl's Instincts" training of the Adolescent Boy," the Physical Training of the Boy."
The work is so planned those who complete the course are able to take charge of a troop of boys at once. Training is given in fundamental requirements by lectures and practical work. The requirements of a tender-foot scout, a second class scout and a third class scout are taught in class together with problems and programs for indoor and outdoor meetings.
The course is open to all who care
for the subject and want a semester.
It will be repeated in the spring.
Sociological subjects are texts for most of the last shipment of books received at Spooner Library, "Society and Prisons" by Thomas Moss Otborne, consisting of "Tale Lectures on the Character of a Man's ship," is exceptionally good. George Nasmysth's "Social Progress and the Darwinian Theory," which is divided into three parts, namely, "The Philosophy of Force," "Mutual Aid as a Resource," and "Justice as a rime Social Need." Offerts plenty of food for thought.
"The Challenge of the Future," by Roland G. Usher, is a study in American foreign policy, a subject which concerns most of us at present. George Payne's "The Child in Human Progress" covers many centuries and tells all of the varied practices of the different races of people.

He simply couldn't resist the temptation, so James Hardace came back to the department of journalism after he had enrolled in the School of Pharmacy. He said today that pills are pretty hard things to make, and he had always wanted to be a news-shagger, anyway.
These books and a number of other new ones furnish a wide scope for reference work and will prove invaluable to many.

CROSS COUNTRY MEN
HARD AT WORK NOW
Five men reported for cross country work yesterday afternoon. Rodkey and Groene went over the entire five mile course; but Couchman, Dillon and Stutler felt capable of doing more, and that at a slow lor.
"The men are getting into condition rapidly," said Captain Stateler, "and we'll all be doing the whole thing at a stiff pace before very long."
MULES STILL HAUL COAL
City Tracks Can't Carry K. U.
Supply
The economical dream that the University might save time and money by having its annual supply of 7,000 tons of coal shipped directly to thops by means of the interurban and he city car line has gone in smoke.
John M. Shea, superintendent of grounds, says, "The coal will be hauled up from the station in the old fashioned way—by mule power. The tracks won't stand the load. Almost every University has a switch for hauling coal, building material, etc., and it can move quickly." K. U. has delayed the building of a switch too long now, for the campus is surrounded on three sides by residence districts and it is too far to go by way of the open side on the south."
War Declared at Emporia
The fresques of the State Normal are in a state of rebellion because the upperclassmen felt it was their duty to provide means so that the students could enjoy and get acquainted. To do this they decided that the freshies should wear a diminutive yellow cap with black bill and button. The freshmen have rebelled—that is, most of them—and the upperclassmen are preparing for the slaughter.
Girls. Too. Must Obey
Apparel proclaims the freshman girl as well as the freshman boy at the University of Montana. During the first week of school all first-year girls must appear on the campus wearing hair ribbons of a vivid green, under penalty of a punishment the nature of which is not known.

Have Just a Few Words to Say to
University of Kansas Students
Living in Kansas City
We have been working on a schedule of rates and planning for special transportation for you in case enough would consider a proposition whereby they could attend school in Lawrence and live at home with the folks.
Your board and room in Lawrence cost you not less than $6.00 a week. Laundry comes at not less than $1.00. You go home to see the folks once a week costing you $1.44 if you take the cheapest method of travel-the interurban. Not allowing for other expenses in Lawrence, your actual outlay here is something over $8.50 a week.
This is Entirely up to You
We just want to let you know what we have done and then leave it to you as to the practicability of the scheme.
Are There Fifty of You
who would like to be at home with the folks most of the afternoon and every evening? If there are, the interurban will make a special round trip price of $1.15, making the total outlay for transportation during the week,$5.75. You will have to take one meal in Lawrence, the week's expense for that item being $1.25. The total this way would be $7.00. You could have your laundry done at home with the family washing. You would save $1.50 a week---- $50.00 during the entire year, which is no mean little sum—and be with your parents every night.
We are not trying to convince you that this is the thing to do, but merely laying the proposition before you. If you are interested, talk it over with the folks at home or write to them; a few of you get together and have a conference with the Lawrence agent. You will find him ready and willing to assist you in every way possible.
In order that you may reach Lawrence in time for your first class, we will run a special out of Kansas City every morning at any time the majority of you specify,and you can return home in the afternoon whenever you can return home in the afternoon whenever you please.
In offering this matter for your consideration we have in mind your convenience, pleasure and economy. If five or six of you are of the opinion that the rest of the students living in Kansas City would like to consider the matter in body, call on Mr. M. J. Griffin, our local agent and arrangements will be made for a meeting of all students living in Kansas City—both Missouri and Kansas.
If you are interested, take the initial step and let's get this thing going. It is for the benefit of both.
Sincerely yours,
Kansas City, Kaw Valley and Western Railway Co.
P. S. If, perchance, there are one hundred University students living in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, who become interested in this proposition, the round trip fare will be further reduced to $1.00.
