T he Michigan Agricultural Col lege has, since its establishment, en couraged and drawn to it students themselves while in w ho maintain individual college by their o wn efforts. T he college desires to continue this policy. ' T he recent rapid g r o w th of the institution has made it impossible for the college to ^furnish labor to every student in attendance or even to those w ho desire it. Therefore a students' employment agency has been organized with the idea that some persons living near at hand might be so situated as to profitably use the services of many of our self- supporting students if the employ ers could be brought together. While the time of our students is very their largely taken up with necessary studies and w o rk in the laboratories, many of them have time to work for their self-support. Of the kinds of w o rk which our students can and are willing to do, the following is a partial list: General farm work, husking corn, fruit potatoes, pruning digging trees, spraying for insects, grafting, fence building, etc. S h o p m en and machinists can be furnished. Many householders in the city need extra labor for various occa sions. O ur students are available for all kinds of such work. T h ey can clean rugs, take up carpets, handle furniture and be otherwise of general help. W h en you want labor, drop a card to M r. R. E. Loree, East Lan sing, or call Automatic 'phone 170 —Bell 799. T he management of this employ ment agency is without cost to the student or patron. W. H. F R E N C H, F. S. K E D Z I E, Committee. T he agency above mentioned will, we feel sure, meet a long felt want. W h i le many students desir ing w o rk in the past have been able to secure it, and while departments have succeeded, at times, in secur ing much needed help, lack of sys this agency will no tem which doubt supply has caused annoyance to both employers and employed. M r. Loree is the right man in the right place, and it is hoped that all personal or departmental work which can be done by our students will be registered with him.

M I N I S T E R S' CONFERENCE. from every T he conference of rural ministers, held at M. A. C, July 12-16, was a success viewpoint.

T he large class was taken out to the gardens, orchards and vineyard, where the members might be shown the proper methods of tillage, pruning, etc., and much in terest was shown along all lines of this work. In poultry, M r. Kempster's lec tures were supplemented by practi cal demonstrations, and this, too, proved a live topic, as M r. K. was kept busy answering questions for some time after each lecture. As a proof of the fact that the conference was a success, it may be resolutions were drawn up, in which the members voiced their hearty appreciation of the entertainment and instruction received at M.

At the close of last year Mr. Brody secured a position with the Experiment Station, where he has been at work during the sum mer, but when found to be in fail ing health took steps at once for re covery. He w as very much grati fied by the progress he was making until about one week before his death, when he failed rapidly. He leaves a father and two brothers, in '04, and Clark, who graduated Clarence, both of whom reside at T h r ee Rivers. Mr. Brody was an industrious, ambitious voung man, and his gen ial disposition won for him many friends at M. A. C. T he Commer cial Hustler, a T h r ee Rivers paper, has the following to say : " W o r ds can but feebly express the gratitude towards his many friends in felt East Lansing, especially his land lady and room mate, for their lov ing care and strenuous exertions for his recovery." T he R E C O RD extends heartfelt sympathy to those who mourn. •VKtE are especially well equipped to supply you with anything A lJ you may need in the line of CALLING CARDS, DANCE AND SOCIETY PROGRAMS Pn^ GO TO College Drug & Grocery Store FOR Fine Confections, Stationery, Etc.
