DEAN OF 0. A. C. COMMERCE
URGES FARM ACCOUNTS
KffMMt System Mast Be Aooerate, Im
mediate and Standardized Says
Rnanoe Expert.
3. A. Bezell, dean of the school of
Commerce of O. A. C., addressed the stu
dents of the school of commerce Tues
day afternoon on the proposed Rural
Credit System. Mr. Bex ell is consid
ered a competent judge of rural finances,
being the author of a book recently pub
lished, "Farm Accounts.”
: "Through the past experience of others
we can foretell the future,” said Mr.
Rexell, “for this reason alone it is neo
tsaaty to have an efficient system of
keeping farm accounts. To be efficient,
a system of accounts must be accurate,
Immediate and standardised. Fifteen
years ago a system of farm accounting
waa unheard of; today the fanner who
keeps a systematised account of expendi
tures ia considered an excellent business
man. The idea of systematising farm
accounts ia not looked upon as a wise
oonrse by the fanner atone. Andrew
Carnegie backs thia principle by making
It . one of the requirement! of tho Carne
gie building fund.
Friends the fireatest Difficulty.
‘The greatest difficulty of the young
farmer is a lack of funds. If he were
•Me to Judge from the experience of
others he would be greatly benefited by
knowing what and how to buy.
"Dean Bally has a theory that every
community should take stock each year.
By this means the farmer would realise
exactly his position and place his work
OB a business basis corresponding to that
cI a merchant banker or any other pro
fessional man.
"The state should take up the matter
of rural credits as there would then be
BO political side between the producer
sad consumer. A system of records
should be kept, forms sent out and the
state at Intervals send out questions re
garding the condition and soooese of the
farmers.
"By offering commerce work in the
universities it is opening up a 11ns of
work which will be very profitable in
the future and which promises to increase
in popularity as time goes on.”

"HONOR MEN SUCCEED:”
WALL STREET JOURNAL
“The frequency with which one sees
Phi Beta. Kappa hops flashed from the
vestments of Inhabitants of Wall street
often raises conjee tores la the mind of
the observer as. to just how many there
are. One can stand at Broad and Wall
Streets almost any day and count at least
twenty-five of the fraternal brotherhood
In the course of an hour. If the army of
Phi Beta Kappas In the financial district
were to hold a special meeting, no body
of men in any country would represent
more comprehensively the work which
the American college performs In fitting
men for all walks of life. The hoary
belief that the scholar is seldom a man
of practical affairs cannot be refuted in
any more direct argument than by an
investigation of the records of the honor
men.”—®»e Wall Street Journal.
OREGON MINERALFAGTS
10 BE PUBLISHED SOON
Bulletin Containing Official
Compilation Being Prepared
By Prof. O. J. Mitchell.
For the first time an official compila
tion of facta concerning all the known
minerals of Oregon ia to be published in
bulletin fora. It is through the efforts
of Professor G. 3. Mitchell, assistant
professor of geology. Professor Mitchell
declares that be believes the beet answer
to the many letters of inquiry that have
come to Mm in past years would be found
In publishing s complete survey of every
| mineral known to exist in this state, at
well as several hitherto unknown ones
which he has discovered along the Mo*
Kensle river and in his summer work.
Carroll Wagner, a University senior, ma
joring In the geology department, also
discovered a new mineral. It is known
as vlvianite or blue iron earth, and was
found near Oregon City.
Bulletin Has Number of Usss.
1 The Bulletin was begun a year ago
and designed for a number of uaee. Pros
pectors desire a mineral guide such as
other states distribute, capitalists inter
ested particularly In potash seek infor
mation, high schools need a reliable re
ference book to use in connection with
the boxes of minerals the University dis
tributed a short time ago, and the geol
ogy classes need a time-saving authority
on minerals.
On the first pages of the book are sug
gestions for mineral identification. Fol*
lowing this are the minerals arranged In
alphabetical order with a table showing
the locality ia which found, the distin
guishing features, the occurrence or in
what kind of places to look for them, and
the practical uses. This saves labor
spent in searching through the scattered
publications such as U. S. geological sur
veys, pamphlets containing about twenty
five Oregon minerals put out by pro
fessors or societies interested, or publi
cations by the Oregon bureau of mints.
Professor Mitchell has taken all these
sources and selected material from them,
adding information from his class work,
and compiled the whole, numbering 85
minerals into a neat little book which will
be ready for distribution in two weeks.
5000 ROSE SLIPS ON HAND
Oregon High Schools That Received
Slips Last Yssr May Ask Again
Five thousand Frau Karl Druschki
rose klips, set out last summer and now
well rooted, await the call of the public
and private high schools of Oregon. Upon
request a reasonable number will be sent
free to each.
Last year 2500 slips were sent out to
schools in lots averaging about 20. Re
quests numbered about 125, nearly all
from high schools. The University has
no objection to second requests from
schools that secured slips in 1915, since
the offer probably will be made annually
so that schools may build up permanent
Frau Karl Druschki hedges.
Last year’s slips grew in almost every
instance.

FACULTY MAY FORM
A LOAN^ASSOCIATION
Organisation of Mutual Build
ing Oo. Under Consideration
Says D. W. Morton.
Its organisation of a mutual building
and loan association baa been under the
con attention of aereral member* of the
faculty for aoma time.
"The Oregon Building and Loan aeso
ciation,” which now axiata, haa no con
nection with the University, but it ia
now necessary to incorporate another and
it is probable that the faculty will take
up the matter, said D. W. Morton, dean
of tho school of commerce, who haa
charge of the plan. Definite steps will
be taken later to effect an organisation.
Tho general title of “Building and Loan
association" includes all institutions hav
ing for their principal object the en
couragement of all workingmen to save
their wages ayatematloally and to loan
money to other members for the purpose
of buying or building homes.
Aaaoolatlona Have Influenoe.
Such associations have a great deal of
influence on the social and economic con
ditions of workingmen. The movement
was started in Pennsylvania in 1881
through the efforts of some English
workingmen in the factories there. Sim
ilar associations were Soon organised in
many of the other states.
In 1893 the United States League of
Local Building and Loan associations was
formed, whose purpose as stated was: To
secure just and iafe management of these
associations and to devise and promote
adoption of systematic, equitable and
Bafe methods of conducting business and
to encourage and stimulate the building
and owning of homes. .The most impor
tant good accomplished by these organi
sations ia the co-operation between men
of limited means and wealthier men.
“NO THESES:” H. C. HOWE
Seniors Will Not Be Held far Usual
Productions This Semester.
No senior theses have been assigned
for this semester by Professor H. C.
Howe, head of the English department.
Instead of the work on the individual
theses such as has been done ifi the past,
a plan is being followed by the students
whereby they are reviewing the course
and are not specialising in any one sub
ject
This decision ia the result of the new
honor system which was installed early
in the semester, Professor Hows said.
Next semester the theses will be assigned
and are to be finished in time for com
mencement at the end of the year.
Up to the present time there has been
but one thesis assigned. As soon as the
final examinations ore finished and the
new year ia well under way, Professor
Howe expects to give out the assign
ments and allow the students to finish
out their work later in the year.
