T he Prudden Building was owned by W K. Prudden '78 and was one of the high marks on Lansing's sky-line. Car ser vice to the College was delayed and irregular for several days during the fire and while the walls were being wrecked. Among the losses sustained by those in t h e. Building were several law libraries of inestimable value and the Ingham County W ar Records, the com pilation of which was just being completed in the offices of Walter Foster, Ingham County W ar Chairman.

A group of class mates or a gathering of alumni and former students who make up part of a com munity, can accomplish much through organi zation. Many M. A. C. men and women realize this and are now organizing associa tions in their own localities or are rejuvinat- ing their old organizations to get acquainted again and get the decks clear for action. travel about We are now arranging with the college ex- tensionists and the those who state to meet with alumni groups in the towns and cities which they visit and we have been able in the past to send special representatives to the larger meetings. The college is very much alive to the necessity of keeping con tact with M. A. C. men and women out in the state and will welcome the opportunity to cooperate with alumni groups, to assist them in organizing, and tell them the specific things the college needs and how they may help to get them. We want every community with a dozen M. A. C. people organized. We are ready and glad to furnish lists of any town or county any time. Is your particular locality organized? Has If it has none, your county an organization? why not get the crowd together and get ac quainted? Join hands and be ready to help. You will profit by it through the acquaintances you will make with M. A.

The first open move is so glaringly political in its aspect as to have little weight with thinking men and women. Never the less, it serves to bring Out into the clear what ap in Michigan pears to be an organized effort to kill M. A. C.'s chance for appropriations in the legislature. To look out for M. A.

RECORD 7 Introducing t he Field Agent—"Norm" Weil '17 Norman O. Weil '17 who has been recently added to the college staff by the State Board of Agriculture, began his duties as College Field Agent this week. Weil is well known among alumni of the later classes, and both alumni and faculty who know him and his qualifications are greeting his appointment en- thusiasticly. After leaving college he enlisted as a pri vate in the Ambulance Corps at Allentown, Pennsylvania, and later received a commis sion" as lieutenant in the Sanitary Corps with assignments at the Army Medical College at Washington, D. C, the training school at New Haven, Connecticut, and general hospital at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. He was discharged June II, 1919, and since that time the army has been in sales work in Cleveland. In col lege he was a member of the Varsity Club, the Holcad,. Manager of Athletic Editor of Varsity Football, and the the President of Senior Class in 1917. He is a member of the Columbian Society. in The position of Field Agent was created in a temporary way by the appointment of B. J. Ford '20 last spring. Mr. Ford worked chiefly among the the consolidated schools and rural districts and did very effective work, spreading information of M. A. C. among high school seniors and prospective college stu In fact his work was so effective that dents. the necessity of continued effort along this line was amply proven. Since that time Mr. in connection with Ford has been employed the army vocational training at the College. Weil's appointment comes as a result of a request made by the M. A. C. Association to the field agency work and the re the State Board of Agriculture for sumption of the appointment of Mr. Weil to work for all the departments of the College among prospective students, both in the cities and in the rural communities.

I haven't sent in a single knock in six years (although I've been tempted to many a time). judgment First, though, I want to mention the game out here at Nebraska last Saturday. The boys put up a good game with the exception the second quarter when Nebraska rolled of up 21 points, due and to poor several other things on the part of the Aggies. The second half was some better with Brownie back in quarter, but it was too late. To tell the truth, for the first time in history, I re to bet on M. A. C. Why? Because fused you can't expect light weights out here and clean up on a bunch of big bruisers like the Nebraska team. I'm not knocking now, the fellows on the • team can't help it if they are not any bigger, but other things being equal, 20 pounds a man usually makes considerable difference final score. to send a team of the in I'll that just, say I don't want to hand out too much sympa thy. However, the Ne braska team the boys met Saturday was not the same team that met Notre Dame, Penn. It was made up of the State, and Kansas. same men, but it was the first real football this year. They surprised they have played their own crowd as much as they did Coach Clark. But that isn't what I started to write about. What I'd like to know is why the M. A. C. Athletic Association is returning to its nar row penny saving system that was in vogue back in 1910 when we had to pay our own expenses on a trip until the guarantee was col- . lected from our opponents.

And when the meal did arrive; just imagine half cold rare roast beef, soggy mashed potatoes, and fresh rolls for a football team in train ing! I'm not familiar with your present system of making hotel arrangements, whether your manager, Director, or Coach handles the mat ter, but I greatly doubt the latter has much to do with it. Personally, I believe the coach should have full charge of the team, and a good coach is going to see that the team is properly I believe "Potsy" Clark is a real A No. 1 coach.

A. C. RECORD. Sectional view of Case 15-27 tractor motor. Note drilled oil passages in the crank shaft, insur ing positive lubrica tion. The First Consideration The engine of course, is the heart of a tractor. Upon it depends, largely, the functioning of the entire tractor. The engine, therefore, should be the first consideration in judging a tractor. Case Kerosene Tractors are equipped with Case-built, four- cylinder, valve-in-head, vertical engines mounted crosswise on the main frame. Practical experiments and field experience have proved that this type of motor is by far the most advantageous for heavy- duty field work, both from the standpoint of power and economy. Being mounted crosswise on the frame permits the use of simplified all-spur-gear transmission—a straight line drive that delivers the highest percentage of motor power to the drawbar. Removable cylinder barrels add years to the life of the motor—in fact, make possible renewal of cylinders, after long usage, at small cost. Every detail of engine design and construction in Case Kerosene Tractors has been planned and executed on this same basis of economy, power and long life. J. I. CASE THRESHING MACHINE COMPANY Dept.A306 WISCONSIN RACINE, - - - - IRACa UK This is No. 1 of a series of brief treatises covering correct tractor design and construction. Keep a complete file for future reference. Students interested in tractor engineer ing are invited to visit the Case factories at Racine and learn the details of tractor construction at first hand.
