A bulletin has been received from Central College at Huntington, Ind., where Fred A. Leow, '04a, is head of the department of agriculture. This depart ment is a comparatively new venture, being started to give instruction in agriculture to graduates from eighth grades and such others as could not spend four years at an agricultural college. The course requires two years of nine months to complete. A letter has been received, under date of Feb. 6th, by Mrs. A. C. Anderson, East Lansing, from Mrs. Otto Rahn (Belle Farrand, '06), of Elbing, West Prussia. Dr. Rahn, formerly of the bacteriology de partment at M. A. C, has charge of his brother's hotel at that place. Mrs. Rahn says: "The hotel is filled with refugees, flying from the Russian border. We are in daily suspense, ever waiting for something to turn up, ever praying for peace to come. Living is very high, eggs, 5 cents apiece; lard, 32 cents per pound. Baking is regulated by government, each per son being allowed 500 grams of bread per day. Ger mans usually eat five meals a day and the war is teaching them to cut down on their gluttony. Dr. Rahn is held as infantry reserve. If peace comes before September he will study at some university, but that seems too soon to hope for it." Dr. Rahn's position as bacteriologist at Illinois is being held open for him. ALUMNI REUNIONS. The Detroit M. A. C.

The first cost of the Natco is the only cost. Furthermore, it pro duces perfect silage, as the vitrified hollow clay tile are imper vious to either air or moisture, and the dead air compartments prevent freezing.
