WANTS FEDERAL MILITIA
Uncle Sam Should Pay Bills, In Opinion of Captain
Jones
"I favor a federalized militia," said Captain Jones when interviews this morning. "I want K. N. G. to be supported by federal instead of by state government. As it is now, the national guards receive a very meagre remuneration from the state. This is not even sufficient to warrant a regular attendance at the drills." Mr. Jones believes that if the militia were paid by the national government, he would at least receive a nominal sum. This would result in a larger and more efficient militia.
At the present time, only the expenses of the summer field training are paid by the national government. The budget for the expenses of the National Guards a constitutional amendment will have to be passed for the present law states that national guards can carry out any military force only in time of foreign invasion.
"Representative Hay, of the military affairs of the House, has proposed a bill *to* this effect and it is meeting with approval," said Captain Jones. "It is what we ought to have. The main difficulty with the present system is that it is not *that* it will continue." "The peeding bill passes all national guards in the states will be trained by regular military officers, which ought to increase the efficiency of the militia."
The student book exchange which was established in the College this year did not blaze a trail for this kind of student benefit in the University, as text books have been supplied to the law students in a similar manner for many years. Uncle Jimmy Green, Dean of the Law School, started, but local book steward system was started, never booked law books. He says this is due to the frequent changes made in the books used.
Each year the faculty of the Law School grants a "book privilege" to two senior laws who might benefit by it. These agents buy direct from the publishers and sell to the law students, being reimbursed for their work by the profits which are made on the sales.
Raymond Rice, of the firm of Means & Rice, attorneys, of Lawrence, has appeared on the Hill once more in the capacity of a professor. He is teaching Prof. W. E.

This year D. M. Stiles and C. A. Reed are acting as agents and their place of business is Room 201 Green Hall. Competition from individuals to be handed out for second hand law books to be handled this year for the first time.
BEST TREES TO PLANT
Botanist at K. U. Names Varieties Adapted to Kansas Conditions
"What kind of tree shall I plant this year?"
That is the question many home owners are asking just now. Prof. W. C. Stevens, botanist at the University of Kansas, has selected a few of the most highly grown species which he finds best adapted to Kansas conditions.
"For purposes of tree planting, Kansas may be divided into sections, with a north and south line running through Hutchinson separating them," Professor Stevens said today. "The principal basis of the fallfall is the principal basis of the given condition and only trees suited to the given condition should be planted."
East of Hutchinson there is heavier rainfall than in the western part of the state. For this territory, the shrubs are all around shade树, Professor Steven Tennant tough enough to withstand the Kansas winds, fairly rapid in growth and provides excellent shade. Oaks also are good, especially the red, burr, and the yellow oaks are even better than the red oaks because they are of slower growth. Hard maple is an excellent tree and the hackberry can be cultivated successively. The white or sort maple is too brittle and the golden-green winds. Its branches break too easily. Dangerous to passersby. Elm is a good species but the parasites are unusually bad on it. The other varieties inhabit, with insect enemies of so many species that can be relied upon for Stevens says satisfaction. Professor Stevens says.
"West of Hutchinson the climate is dry and the ground water deeper, requiring a different type of tree," he continued. "The hackberry and green ash which also thrive in eastern Kansas, are dependable trees and have no honey loot. Russian mulberry and honey loot. Russian mulberry though they suffer from slime flux. Care must also be taken to get the staminate or made trees as they do not bear the fruit which makes the ovulate fruit so undesirable. The ovulate fruit is beautiful tree but it is so brittle that it becomes dangerous as a street tree, its branches snapping under the weight of snow or sleet or in a wind storm.
"These trees just named are principally for street shade. For yard and parks Austrian and Scotch pines, red cedar, and Chinese arbor vitae are excellent varieties. Under no conditions should cataplas be planted. They are flat, and are too brittle to withstand rain or climate. Cottonwood may be planted tennessee. Cottonwood growing trees are reaching maturity, but they should be cut down before they crowd the permanent trees."
FIGHT NEW KANSAS PEST
Cotton Rats Attack Crops; K. U.
Hunting Remedy
As a result Kansas farmers have been complaining of the depredations of the rats which have such habits as eating corn in the shock and nibbling sweet potatoes' left in the ground.
A pest which preys on the crops of Southeastern Kansas farmers has been found by the K. U. Biological Survey. It is the "cotton rat," so named because of the great destruction it has for years caused in cotton fields of the south. The investigators working under the direction of Curpentz say that during the past two or three weeks thousands of the little pests have immigrated over the Oklahoma line into Kansas. The newcomers propagate rapidly.
Simultaneously with the arrival of the cotton rats the Biological Survey report showed that auburn marsh hawks, hitherto rare in Kansas, have appeared, and are existing by eating the cotton rats. In spite of the fact that rats continue to increase rapidly.
Now, the University, through its Biological Survey, is undertaking to study methods which will cause the destruction of this new pest. The cotton rats are smaller than the common house rats.
Bernard Morley of the 3135 Pasco, Kansas City, Mo., prefers Kansas to Missouri. He entered M. U. the state where he says he was not satisfied, so he builts a new pasco ashes. He was graduated from the Central high school, Kansas City, last spring. Morely is not a com­ mentor to K. U. people having won the tennis tournaments in last year's annual high school ment. He is also a football player, but according to Missouri valley ruling, which requires one year's Varsity competition will be eligible for Varsity competition until the spring semester next year.

Publishers and advertisers as well as business of advertised articles will be interested in outcome of the test case on the recent issue of advertising law which the county attorney of Harvey county has filed against two dentists who have been advertising in Newton, Kansas, that they would furnish "whale-bone" teeth. They believe that there is no such thing as a "whale-bone tooth" and is basing his prosecution on that ground.
Fake Ad. Law to Court
The fraudulent advertising law which was passed last winter by the legislature has never come before the supreme court for a test, and it is clear that this would have thought that this suit will detain the validity and meaning of the law.
PROFS ARE OVER WORKED
Bond of Sympathy Between Students and Faculty at Last Discovered
Nine hours a day for professors as well as those engaged in manual labor may be the next great movement to be capitated, if returns on the amount of pay the average professor puts in is any less. Ten and a fifth hours a day—that is the average, as compiled from answers to queries sent out to the Professors in various state schools, Lee Harrison, secretary to the board of directors. The only relief that theprofessor can obtain is that the figures are for a basis of five days a week whereas the ordinary laborer toils on Saturday also, and that the plan of not working on Saturday does not hold up the cost. The might otherwise be the case. The bank may check comhit only once a month.
the average professor at K. U., however, works fewer hours than a brother prof at the Agricultural College or at the State Normal.
Even outside of the ten hours a day in actual school work, the professor puts in nearly three hours a week in civic work outside of the institution in which he is employed. The exact figures are 143 hours a year. For the University Professors of law, the average is much higher than hourly wage. Manhattan instruction follows with a yearly total of 172 hours each. Emporia Normal men follow with 146 and after them the Pittsburgh Normal faculty with 110 hours a year. Faculty members of the Hays Normal do the least civic work their average being 108 hours a year.
The figures show that the Normal faculties of Hays, Pittsburg and Emporia average eleven hours a day of class work. The Agricultural College faculty averages ten and four fifths hours a day.
The figures were obtained by sensing out circulars to all members of the various faculties, containing questions to be answered, such as: number of hours a week spent in student organizations, professional reading papers and theses, cherished for the school, work with student organizations, professional reading and extension work. Also there were questions in respect to number hours spent in outside professional training and examination and enrollment and insistly the time spent in preparing the student's pet horror—final quizzes
Dean F. W, Blackmar, of the Graduate School, rises to remark that deans do not fight, but that if one tells another that his courses are easy, not definite, and unscientific, that that is merely an intelligent exchange of ideas. Safety first is a principle in the conservation of social energy.
