Deutscher Verein Meeting. At the last meeting of the Deutscher Verein held in the Old Chapel Friday evening, a Pennsyl vania Dutch program was carried out. Mr. Knauss of the German Department gave a short interest ing talk on the history of the Ger mans, tracing their origin and cus toms from the south western part of Germany over to the district they now occupy in the Perkiomen and Schuylkill Valleys. He also brought out the fact that their language is not a combination of English and German as is the gen eral'census of opinion, but that it is the original mother tongue of the old German farmers who first set tled in Pennsylvania. The rest of the program consist ed of a selection by the German Mandolin Club; a short story writ ten in Pennsylvania German and delivered in the same tongue; and a reading of “The School House on the Creek,” considered by many as the best of the Pennsylvania German poems. The feature of the evening how ever consisted of a square dance given by eight of the members in the original Pennsylvania Dutch style. This proved to be very amusing and at the same time gave a practical demonstration of the Pennsylvania German customs. The meeting closed, with the serv ing of refreshments and all left feeling doubly repaid for coming out on such a stormy night.

Muriate of Potash per acre , we hushed out 70 bushels per acre of tip-top com that is nearly all fit to sell on the ear for seed com. I figure that a ton of Muriate of Potash on 40 acres of com will pay for a year's post graduate study for you and leave you a little spare change to chip in for athletics.
