We are well stocked with all kinds of Larro

You know there was never a feed made but what
someone could make it cheaper and sell it for less.
The price tag doesn't tell the story at all—it's the
profit above the cost that determines the value of
any feed.   Think it over!

compile a history of this section of

previous to 1860 and so memory must

listed in Who's Who in American
Education   in   the   1929-30   edition.
In the living room of his home is
a large glass case containing a fine
coUection of birds which he has preserved. Although he is not a taxidermist he has developed the art as
a pleasant sideline or hobby. Many
of the birds are from Maryland, but
he also has some from Michigan.
He has in all about three hundred of
them. He has mounted six or eight
eagles but has -j|»t any himself. In
addition to birds he has a collection
of stuffed animals, among them a
young fawn which looks very lifelike,  a squirrel, and several others.
His home reflects the fine quality

Rotarians had the pleasure of having with them at their meeting last
Thursday noon at The Tavern, Prof.
Carl Lindegren of Ypsilanti, who
with four of his star pupils in music
put on a splendid program. Mr.
Lindegren not only led the singing
that forms the opening part of every Rotary program, but he favored
with a solo, and the young people
who accompanied- him over for the
occasion, Miss Johnson, Miss Dunham and Messrs. Jones and Stone,
each sang two numbers. Needless
to say all were very much appreciated.
Mr. Jones is a resident of the
Lincoln district, crawls out at 5 every morning, drives a bus and in
other ways hustles to provide funds
for his musical education, which reminds us that many other young
people are daily making sacrifices
along- this same line.
Among the many interesting
features of entertainment furnished
us at East Lansing recently was the
music given by the Men's Glee
Club. This is composed of 60 singers who receive no scholastic credit
for this work, yet must spend four
hours each week in practice. That
they sing for the sheer love of singing was evident from the gay and
happy manner in which  they sang.
That it meant a sacrifice of time
to pursue this musical opportunity
was very evident, for many of these
same students were noted waiting
on tables and doing janitor work at
various places about the campus.
No doubt in many instances there
were parents back home doing some
sacrificing, too, to help provide the
necessary funds to send their boys
through college. However, when a
youth of today is wiUing to work at
whatever honest employment he can
find to help pay his own college expenses, and then out of the little
time left to him for amusement and
recreation after his hours of study,
voluntarily spend more than half an
hour daily practicing music for
which he receives only the pleasure
derived from the singing, plus what
he learns about music, we are sure
that •youth will eventually take his
place among the worth-while citizens of this country who help to better conditions wherever they go.
One mother was heard to remark
that she had secured employment
and was working to help her son get
his education and that she gladly
would continue working to help him
get as far as he wished to go in his
particular line of learning. That is
the spirit which prompts -. the youth
of today to struggle for aU that he
can get out of college life that he
may repay those sacrifices, not merely financially; that is the smallest
part of the pay, but in a life_ of usefulness worthy of the respect and
admiration of his f eUow men.
