'S3- T he following is an extract from a letter written our postmaster by his brother, H. W. Collingwood, 'S.3 : "I regret to say that I am run this fall, ning up against it myself having been nominated for congress on the prohibition ticket in our dis trict. Instead of falling over them selves to grasp the opportunity of voting for me I find, what would be called on the Bowerv 'quite a seri ous frost.' I am not likely to spend the winter in Washington.

Kocher says : "I arrived in Greenville, (Ala.) on Oct. 2, and shall be here until about April 1, or until I complete a m ap of the soils of Butler county. I send best wishes for the continued success and pros perity of the College, and every one who is or ever was connected there with. '06. As we go to press news comes to us of the death of H. H. Crosby, fever. '06, on Oct. 15, of typhoid He died at his home in T h r ee Oaks, but further this nothing has been learned. M r. Crosby was a noble young man, and one of whom M. A. C. was justly proud. A more extended notice will be given next week. than An interesting letter from a mem ber of our 1906 class,—" Well, the new college year has begun, each class taking up its new work, from the subfreshmen to the seniors, really to the new alumni. " It gives one a queer unexpressi- ble feeling to know that one's col lege life is over, but in everyone's case the college life has even a greater interest than before. " There are t wo from M. A. C. here in Thompsonville teaching in the public school. Miss Ella Mc- Manus '08 and myself are the t w o. She has charge of the fourth and fifth grades and I am assisting in the high school, teaching from the sev enth to the eleventh grades applying my knowledge gained at M. A. C. " Miss M c M a n us and I watch the R E C O RD eagerly for all the news each week. T he athletic depart ment has made its beginning as usual by winning the first football game.

T he game on next Saturday will without doubt, be our big game of the season and preparations are be ing made to handle the large crowd which is sure to be here. R equests for seats began coming in yesterday and the chances are that every one will be taken in advance. De P a uw won from Franklin, one of the best secondary colleges in Indiana, Sat urday, 83 to 6, so we are looking to Saturday's game with forward much interest. T h ey played M. A. C. five years ago, winning hand ily. One or t wo mass meetings will be held this week to create enthu siasm for the coming contest. Watch for posters. Tickets will go on sale with seat privileges and box tickets are on sale at the Secre tary's office. reserved Y. M. C A. Prof. T h o m as Shaw spoke at the evening meeting, and T h u r s d ay some 115 men came to listen to him. T he amount of good derived from this meeting cannot be esti mated, as Prof. Shaw is a very in speaker. teresting and T he attendance at the union meet ing of Sunday evening was as good as usual. M. E. Osborne of Lan sing gave a very helpful and prac tical talk. T he Bible class began last Sunday with an enrollment of n o.

T he site for this building was purchased t wo years ago, con tains one and one-quarter acres of land and is situated almost due north of the north entrance to the college grounds. T he building is to be 40x60 feet with a porch 12 feet wide extending along the front and the east end. T he exterior M. A. C 38—KAZOO 0. large number to make T he above score tells the story of M. A. C.'s decisive victory on Sat urday in the first cup game of the season. T he day was ideal, and the crowd numbered about 1,000, an unusually coming from Lansing. About 300 compli mentary tickets were issued to L. H. S. students. E v e ry seat w as taken by the time the game started. T he contest, as a whole, was very satisfactory from our standpoint, the defense being very strong. Kala mazoo was unable first down in the game and very few gains of any length. T he offensive was perhaps the best seen on our field for a long time. T he princi pal ground gainers were McKenna, Bowditch and Small in end run«, and were all given exct-11 nt inter ference. R i g ht end, the unfortu nate place on the team, was looked after in excellent shape in the fi'St half by Waite, and Allen in the sec ond, whose spoiled a touchdown for the visitors, when Buchanan secured the ball on a fum ble and started down a clear field. T he work of Dersnah and Moore on defensive was also spectacular. T he punting of Bowditch was a feature, his punts averaging from 40 to 45 yards, getting one of 65, and Small, W a i te and Allen ran down these punts in good shape so that nearly the whole distance was gained at each punt.

TUESDAY, OCT. 16,1906. THE first number on our enter tainment course will be given If you next Thursday evening. have not already purchased your season ticket dd so at once and plan to attend all the entertainments. It will be well worth your time and money and should really be made a part of your college training. T he Bureau has the following to say con- cerniug the first entertainment: that in Chicago at " Schildkret's Hungarian Orches tra was brought over from H u n g a ry during the World's Fair year, and was especially engaged for concert work time through M r s. Potter Palmer, Chair man of the Ladies' Committee at the World's Fair, and played at many of the most important concerts and social affairs during that memor able vear. T h ey were also espec ially engaged for a season at Old Vienna and received the first grand gold medal for their work. Since that have played all they through the east, returning to Chi cago in time to play for Prince Henry on his tour this country through two years ago." time Y. W. C. A. T he Thursday evening meeting was conducted by Miss Zoe Mc- Connell. It was a meeting of unusual in terest, and some very pointed que-,- tious were brought out by the lead er, which went to the heart of every girl. T he subject was, " H ow shall we from do when in R o m e ?" ( A w ay home Christians). with Tim. II : 1-7. II Cor. 5 :c>, A short business meeting followed. C O L U M B I AN P A R T Y. Evergreens and autumn leaves interspersed with glowing pumpkin lanterns, gave an appropriate season setting for the Columbian eleven o'clock party last Friday night. In viting cozy cor> ers around a cheer ful campfire added to t ie pictiir- esqueness of the scene and a most enjoyable evening was spent by members and their friend-. Good music in such pleasant surroundings gave an added charm to the dancing and all present voted it a well spent evening. Professor and Mrs. Rider kindly acted as chaperons. T HE M. A. C. RECORD. F A R M E R S' CLUB- Prof. Thomas Shaw addressed the F a r m e r s' Club last Tuesday evening on "Agricultural Journal ism." He spoke briefly of the im portance of farm papers, placing their influence beyond that of the agricultural colleges,the state round ups, or the farmer institutes. Speaking more at length of the weaknesses of the agricultural papers, Prof Shaw placed the lack of men of practical experience as the heads of the departments, first; then their power to select strong assistants, second; and third that the paper be spoke well written. strongly against the fact that nearly all of the papers always lack space, and so good, but lengthv articles are sadly mangled in an attempt to make them meaty. Prof. Shaw As a check or partial remedv for the printing of "rehashed" articles and bulletins which are seldom as good as the original, a critic journal of agriculture was suggested. H O R T. CLUB. Last Wednesday evening, Oct. 10, Prof. Barrows gave the Hort. Club a unique and interesting lec ture on "Michigan Birds in their Relation to Horticulture." T he lecture was illustrated and all en joyed it very much. After the lec ture Niagara and Concord grapes were served. On Oct. 17, Prof. L. R. Taft will lecture on " Michigan Nurseries and Nursery Inspection." All are cordially invited. D E B A T I NG CLUB. T he meeting of the Debating Club on Oct. 11th was attended by a good sized crowd, and proved to be a most interesting and enthusias tic one. T he question for debate, "Resolved, T h at further annexa tion of territory is not to the best interests of the people of the United States," is a question most promi nent at the present day, and was ably handled on both sides, by M r. Gunson on the affirmative and Prof. Iledrick on the negative. In fact, both sides of the question were so thoroughly discussed and their fa vorable points so well brought out, that it was with difficulty that the judges were able to come to the de cision in favor of the negative. On account of the date of the first number on the lecture course falling Thursday, there will be no meeting of the club on the 18th, but on the following Thursday, the 25th, the question for debate will be one that should interest us all, especially at this time, " T he merits of the new football rules." T RY A ND T R U ST CIRCLE. Eleven years ago the 12th of this month, upon the suggestion and under the direction of M r s. Weil, the T ry and T r u st Circle of the Order of T he King's Daughters was organized with five charter members. The circle now numbers twenty five, and during all these years Mrs. Weil has been a faithful, efficient member and a constant in- sp'rati n to all the others. On Saturd iy afternoon, Oct. 6, the ladies gathered at Mrs. Colling- wood's taking with them their bas kets bountifully laden with good things to eat. T he short program and the resolutions printed below were both tributes of love and bon voyaue to M r s. Weil. W H E R E A S, M r s. Charles L. Weil was the organizer of the King's Daughters circle at the Michigan Agiicultural College, and faithful has given eleven years of anil efficient service to its cause, and W H E R E A S, S he is about to leave this community, be it Resolved, T h at the " T ry and T r u s t" Circle of the King's Daugh ters manifest its appreciation of her untiring efforts, and express its re grets at losing so loyal a member, and be it further Resolved, T h at it extend to her its sincere gratitude, with the prayer that in her new home an ever widen ing influence may be granted her.

T o w a r, of the class of '85, died at Garden City, Kans., on the 8th inst. of typhoid fever. M r. T o w ar has been associated with the beet sugar industry in Michigan for the past five or six years. He was re cently sent to Kansas to investigate the conditions for the development of the industry in that state, where he was Immediately upon the report of his illness his wife went to him, and it seemed that he was getting along very well. A took sudden change for the worse place, however, and resulted in his death. V e ry few of our alumni were better known among the great body of men and women w ho have gone out from M. A. C. than was Mr. T o w a r. He was brought up on a farm one mile north of the College, and has lived in this com munity almost continuously since graduation. He has always been present at alumni meetings and other gatherings of interest at the College, was a man of sterling qualities of character, always frank and earnest, and his untimely death will be sadly regretted by a great body of friends. A wife and three small children are left to mourn their loss. l ie was a brother of Mr. J. D. T o w ar anil Mrs. Jennie Whitmore, both of Oakwood. T he funeral was held from his father's residence on Fri day afternoon, and was largely at tended by both his old neighbors and college friends, and he was laid to rest in Mt. Hope cemetery. S E N I OR E N G I N E E R I NG SOCIETY. T he first meeting of the Senior Engineering Society will be held in the physics lecture room at 6:45 Wednesday evening. T he meeting will be given over to the discussion of plans for the ensuing year and it is therefore important that all sen ior engineers be present. T he 10,000 strawberry plants set out last spring and used for breed ing experiments are in excellent con dition, and M r. Craig is now scor ing them for vigor and freedom from disease. A record has been made of the runners thrown out by each plant, and the field will no doubt be an interesting one next spring. It is hoped that a meeting of the State Horticultural Society may be held here at that time. R A RE O W L. Last week Professor Barrows secured for the Zoological Depart ment a living barn owl, Strix frat- incola, which was captured near Williamston in this county after be slightly wounded by a shot. ing T he owl is apparently in good con dition and will be kept alive for a time until photographs can be made, after which it will be prepared for the museum. limit. About T h is is one of the rarest of owls in Michigan, which appears to be its northern twenty individuals have been recorded from different parts of the sta'e and this is only the third recorded for Ing ham county. T he name " barn owl " is something of a misnomer, trees since the bird nests in hollow towers, and caves as well as in steeples, attics and deserted build ings. It is often called the " monkey- faced o w l ", owing to its peculiar physiognomy, some idea of which is given by the accompanying cut. Like most of our owls it prefers rats and mice to all other food, and is one of the farmer's best friends. Under the present law the killing of any species of owl except the Great Horned owl (the largest kind) is punishable by a fine of from ten to one hundred dollars or a jail sen tence not exceeding ninety days. M AX B E U T N E R. in '98 will Students here learn with regret of the death of M ax Beutner, who was during that year the popular athletic director. T he following is taken from the Chicago Daily Tribune of Oct. 10 : " Max Beutner, 3338 A r m o ur avenue, 40 years old, superintendent of small parks, dropped dead yester day afternoon while untethering his horse in La Salle street, near Wash ington. Heart disease is believed to have caused his death. " M r. Beutner had been in charge of the play-grounds and bathing beaches of the city five years. He idolized by the children, and was they showed their regard for him several months ago by giving a series of "surprise p a r t i e s" in his honor at the various pLy-grounds. At the parties the children served refreshments bought with money they had saved. " He had had several fainting spells recently, but he told Secretary O'Neill of the special park commis sion shortly before his death that he was feeling better." T he work of painting the interior of the armory is nearing completion and certainly makes the room very much brighter and more attractive. T HE M. A. C. RECORD.
