Arntorg- Officials
Pay College Visit
Several representatives of the Am-
torg Trading Corporation, RussiaSs
largest purchasing agents, were on
the campus this week studying the
production of cotton, according to R.
H. Lander at the Aggieland Inn.
At present there are more than
7,500,000 acres of cotton planted in
Russia, an increase of 2,500,000 acres
over last year, and since their land
and climate is more similar to that
of Texas than to that of any other
state, they decided to make a study
of the conditions in this locality.
“Russia is fast discarding their
age-old methods of agriculture, and
copying from the United States”,
said H. S. Mansoff, president of the
Amtorg corporation, “Some of our
farms include 500,000 acres or more,
and all are worked on a cooperative
basis”, he further revealed.
Other members of the party in
cluded S. M. Saenke, government
agronomist, and Nicholas W. Wassili-
eff, agricultural engineer. After in
specting the experiment farms, the
party departed enroute to California.

CREDIT SYSTEM EVIL
South Bend, Ind.—(IP)—Although
he admits that the system would be
difficult to abolish, Rev. Dr. Charles
L. O’Donnell, president of Notre
Dame University here believes that
the credit system is one of the out
standing evils of higher education to
day.
“It is an obsession on the under-
graduate mind today,” Dr. O’Donnel
said recently. “Students are working
by the credit clock. I think it is up
to the faculty to create an interest
in learning for the sake of learning.”

PEN GUARANTEED FQR LIFE
PEN
This Guaranteed-for-liife Pen,
with the Bonus Point That
Flatters Your Hand, Is Like
2 Pens for the Price of One
Do you know that by having a
Parker Duofold pocket Pen, you can
now have one of these beautiful Desk
Sets too, without having to buy a
second pen? You save this extra ex
pense because this Guaranteed-for-
Life Pen is convertible.
Parker convertibility means that one
Pen takes the place of separate pens
for your pocket and Desk Set. By a
slight change, the Pen’s pocket cap is
replaced with a tapered pen end for
Desk Set use. Presto! Off with the
taper, and back with the pocket cap,
when you go out again.
We Pay a Bonus for Every
Duofold Point
Parker points flatter your hand
writing. For squads of post-graduate
point-smiths give Parker Pens their
Pressureless Touch.
They are paid a bonus for every
point that survives 11 merciless inspec
tions. Any point that fails one test,
fails all, and its maker pays a forfeit. w
Yet 7 out of 8 are bonus points because we limit the num
her a man may make a day, and he has time to make each
one as good as his best.
Parker Duofold Pens are Guaranteed for Life. They hold
17.4% more ink than average, size for size. In sparkling
jewel-like colors, their streamlined Permanite barrels are non-
breakable. Select your Parker at any pen counter. Pen3
