The University of Minnesota, as a going business concern, on the basis of valuation represented by property inventory and without allowance for | good will, could be capitalized for $14,000,000. Its lands, buildings, books, instruments and other assets July 31, 1914, totaled $13,909,934.34, according to the figures in the bien- nial report for 1913 and 1914, issued Saturday. ’ To keep the institution going, cosi in the fiscal year 1913-1914, §3,- 043,450.16. This was an increase of $443,923.55 over the fiscal year pre- ceding. Out of a mass of figures that fill 165 pages of statisties, these big facts stand conspicuous. As a business proposition the university makes a showing that is impressive. The income sources, the state, the endowments, and the interest return on investments, make big figures, but many little figures get closer to the human touch and show the workings of the institution as it reaches the faculty and student body direct. The student loan item shows that, after handling $40,556 in loans to men and women students from the time of the establishment of the Gilfillan fund up to July 31, 1914, there was a balance on hand Aug. 1, 1914, of $4,130.14. Of the total loans made, $2,187.50 was in the form of short time or temporary loans, leaving $38,368.50 as the long time sum out- standing. This total went to 282 students. & The lost and found department and the campus advertising are new fea- tures touched upon. The university proper as the people of Minnesota as a whole see it and think of it, comprising the buildings grouped about the old campus, consti- tutes only a portion of the property whole and represents only part of the activities. The university campus stands for $5,463,639.88 and the buildings thereon with equipment stand for $2,276,112.04. But the university farm is down in the in- ventory for $1,491,505.30, the ex- periment station item makes $772,- 166.85, and land grants and miscel- laneous items make $3,906,510.27. In the report for the fiscal year that ended July 31,71914, as com- pared with the year that ended July 31, 1913, saving of operation cost is shown in a number of items. The institution was able to cut down on expenditures for office supplies, sta-| tionery and printing, freight and ex- press, seeds and plants, repairs, rents and assessments, furniture and fixtures cost, typewriters and adding machines, dining hall equipment cost, premiums and sundries. Other items went up. Salaries in- creased $162,760.70 to $1,082,349.67 and wages $68,711.64 to $221,239.57. Of the public lands which from time to time have been granted to the state for the benefit of the uni- versity, there remained on Jan. 1., 1913, 18,826.07 acres, commonly known as “university lands, and 4,- 625.64 acres known as salt spring lands. The former are being han- dled by the state auditor and sold at public auction as other state lands. Your Vote is Needed. Tomorrow is city election day and while there are no especially inter- esting issues at stake the importance of selecting proper men to office is none the less serious. There is a possibility that many vo- ters will fail to visit the polls, thereby neglecting a duty they owe Bemidji as progressive citizens. The socialists, they of the red flag, have a complete ticket in the field, but that is not all, for active campaigns have been conducted in the interests of each Bemidji is entering upon a crucial period of its history, a period during which the city’s® future will largely depend. It must name men to its council and -other municipal offices who are broad-minded, progressive and anxious to assist and make pos- sible the city’s rapid advancement. Not long ago a certain socialist publication announced that should the United States of America be drawn into the dreadful European struggle it would in all probability result in the guns of socialism being turned upon soldiers of our nation. Then how in the name of the great stars and stripes, can we dare even consider the placing of followers of its teachings in public office, where their efforts would be to destroy ra- ther than build-up. Let every voter remember: that a The Bemidji Daily Pionces socialist is pledged to support-a can. didate of his party, whether that can- didate be qualified not being a point of consideration, and when he visits the polls tomorrow let him bear in mind that the progress and advance- ment of the city in which he resides reflects upon his citizenship and pa- triotism. Cast your ballot with the thought of the best interests of Bemidji in your mind, for that is all that may be asked of any man who values his citizenship with proper pride. Your vote is needed.

KEKKK KKK KRR KKK KKK * WAS ACCUSED OF * * SELLING WAR SECRETS * KK KKK KK KK KKK KK KK London.—(By Mail to New York.) —Among the many and elusive ru- mors that have gained wide-spread currency in these war times was the story that Lt.-Col. George Cornwallis ‘West, formerly husband of Lady Ran- dolph Churehill, and now married to Mrs. Patrick Campbell, had been detected selling official secrets to Ger- many and had been shot as a spy. The yarn started about the time ev- erybody was talking of the alleged transfer of Russian troops through England to the firing line in France, and it lived even longer than that famous canard.. In fact, there were many who believed it even until re- cently, when a firm of solicitors wrote to the newspapers: ‘“Lieutenant-Colonel George Corn- wallis-West, who has been in com- mand since September of one of the battalions of the Royal Naval Divi- sion which were present at Antwerp, ASK any throat spe- cialist if you can “‘take chances” with any cold, no matter how “trifling.” He will tell you to take a cold treatment to relieve the congested nasal pas- sages, reduce the fever and correct the bowel irregulari- ty that accompanies every cold. That is the only way to completely cure a cold -- and to avoid Pneumonia, Pleurisy or LaGrippe. Cinol is a three-fold cold treatment in one handy compact vest pocket size, 50c package—takes the place of three pregaratlons you form- erly had to buy.

Unable to pro- ceed- with his artillery on account of the impassible condition of the roads, the captain -ordered’ the horses un- hooked 'and : the guns abandoned. Mounting the gunners on the horses they pursued the fleeing -Austrians and took from: them their artillery which they at.once turned against them.. When again the Austrians were too far away to. be reached by their own artillery and. it was equally impossible. to proceed over the muddy roads; the Austrian guns were in turn abandoned, the gunhers mount- ed on the horses and the Austrians pursued till a fresh battery was ta- ken and turned against them. The captain continued the maneuver un- til the last Austrian’soldiers had crossed the Drina and Servia was free of invaders. Sydney Smith on War.

In the Edin- burgh Review ‘of a century ago he wrote: “If three men were to have their legs and arms broken and were to remain all night exposed to the in- clemency of the weather the whole country would be in a state of the most dreadful agitation! Look at the wholesale death of a battlefield—ten acres covered with dead and dying, and the shrieks and agonies of many thou- sand buman beings! There is more misery inflicted upon mankind by one year of war than by all the civil pecu- lations and oppressions of a century.” And he added that it was the business of wise and good men to set themselves against the spirit that produced wars— “this passion for military glory.” Queen Elizabeth of Belgium spends about $10,000 a year on dresses.
