According to statistics released

there are five hundred and ninety-
eight Cornell students enrolled with
thirty some yet unregistered.
Statistics for the classes are as
follows: freshman: women, I04,
men I07: sophomore: women, 96,
men 76; junior: women 58, men 65;
senior: women 42, men 44; special:
women 2, men 3; total 598. A year
ago yesterday the enrollment thus
far was five hundred and ninety-
nine.
Nineteen junior and senior stu-
dents transferred from other
schools to Cornell this year; they
are: John Armentrout, 'Mason City
Junior College; Ethel Cantlin,
Christian J. C., Columbia, Missouri;
Betty J. Chiquet, Iowa. Falls J. C.;
Forrest Clark, Maquoketa J. C.:
Virginia Cory, Drake; Lloyd Elli-

Probably the longest distance
record goes to freshman Rebecca
~Arellons whose parents are mission-
aries in Lucknow-, India. In the
i states Dorothy Duke of Pasadena.
Calif., came the greatest number
of miles.
Ernest Sohnitz, a German refu-
gee boy from the Scattergood
School near West Branch, enters
Cornell as a freshman.
This year's freshman class should
have included Constantine Issi-
derides from Athens, Greece. No
word has been received from him,
however, for several weeks and it
has been assumed that conditions
abroad have prevented him from
coming.
Also, this year marks the larg-
est local attendance in a long time
due to the fact that so many .fam-
ilies have moved to .Mount Vernon
in order to put their children in
school.

Rural Patrons Will
Have Much Improv-
ed Service
Farm lines in the vicinity of
Mount Vernon, which are served
I by the Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone exchange at Mount Vernon,
will have dial telephone service
along with the telephone users in
Mount Vernon when the dial sys-
tem is placed in operation about
January first.
These farm lines will have the
distinction of being the first farm
lines not owned by the Telephone
company itself to have dial ser-
vice. The lines are owned by the
~farm subscribers. No longer will
the lines hum and buzz until it is
difficult to carry on a conversation
,over them. Thus will one more ad-
vantage of town folks be extended
to our rural neighbors.
To make possible the use of dial
telephones, the lines must all be
rebuilt with two wire metallic cir-
cuit to replace the single wire cir-
cuits. Local Bell exchange man-
ager, Earl Simpson, has cooperated
in furnishing the transposition
furnished by the Telephone com-
pany without any charge other than
the usual $6.00 a year switching"
fee paid by all rural subscribers.
Rural subscribers have their choice
of a desk phone or a wall phone.
FROM 500 TO 600 MILES
OF WIRE TO BE USED
Between 500 and 600 miles of
wire is expected to be used by the
time all of the farm lines leading
out from the local office are re-
built.
First line to start work is the
21-F, Ivanhoe line No. 2. A two
wire metallic circuit has already
been built south to the Walrob
corner. The lines of the 21-F line,
the 10-t," line and 17-F line are
carried on the same poles to the
Wolrab corner.
The 21-F line extends south on
No. 261 to the other side of the
river at Ivanhoe, to the Dr. T. L.
X~Volfe farm. Joe Pitlik is the sec-
retary.
The 10-F, Ivanhoe line, extends
east and west at Wolrab's and the
17-F Short Line extends west from
the Wolrab corner to Frank Pit-
lik's, down the river to the former
Pitlik farm, and from Frank Pit-
lik's to the A. V. Pisarek farm. A.
V. Pisarek is secretary.
The 13-F, 14-F and 15-F lines
have purchased material and ex-
pect to start work the last of this
week or the first of next.
The 13-F Riverside line extends
west on the Palisades road to the
Upper Palisades and to the Joe
Michalek and Floyd Kitchen farms.
Frank Bidcrman is secretary.
The 14-F Schley line, is the line
which serves the Lower Palisades.
Uharles Meyers is secretary.
The 15-F West Franklin line, ex-
tends out the Palisades road to
Jim Petrick's with extensions to
Ben Neal's, Jim Milholin's and Leo
Henik's. This line will use the Ce-
dar Rapids-DeWitt toll line poles
from Mount Vernon to the Ben
Neal corner. The company has
placed ten pin cross arms on the
)pies and the rural company will
use eight of the positions and the
.ompany two for their 80-F line.
Ben Neal is chairman of this line
and Clair Milholin, secretary. Thi~
line will have two circuits because
there are more than 10 subscribers.
The 80-F line is owned by the
Telephone company. It extends to
the Frank Anderson, Henry Cly-
met, Roy White and George Vis-
lisel places following west along the
general direction of the old interur-
ban lines.

TOP. BEFORE REMODELING; BOTIY)M, A~I'ER REMODELING
Mr. and ~Mrs. John E. ,McHugh
have moved to their remodeled
home on Main street in Lisbon,
after spending part of the summer
in St. John's Rectory on Market
street while their home was being
remodeled into a modern Cape Cod
cottage.
This is one of several homes
that have been remodeled in Lis-
bon this summer. It is quite ob-
vious from the picture of this
home before and after remodeling
that much .can be done in the way
of modernizing an old home into
the present day type of building
at a nominal expense.
The planning of the change in
architecture of this home on the
inside and out was done by Earl
Hefting, assisted by Stuart Franks
of the local lumber firm of Franks
and Sons and the contractor, Gee.
L. Albright.
Thb. old style porch was chang-
ed into a sun room with a new en-
try from the south side of the
house with a modern stoop with
brick inlaid floor surrounded with
iron rail.

Dr. Magee Attends
Conference At
Clinton This Week
Dr. John Benj. Magee went to
Clinton on Wednesday to attend the
Upper Iowa conference of the
Methodist church in session there
this week. ~Mrs. Magee plans to go '
on Friday to .present an address at
the Woman's anniversary program.
This conference meeting is a
home-coming for Dr. Magee for it
was in the Upper Iowa conference
that he was first admitted to the
ministry, and the fact that his
brother, Dr. Ralph Magee of Des
Moines, is bishop of this area
creates additional interest.
Mrs. Nicholson Nominated
As Lay Delegate By The
Local Methodist Church
The official board of the Method-
ist church has placed the name of
~Irs. Thomas Nicholson in nomina-
tion as a lay delegate from the
Upper Iowa conference to the Gen-
eral Conference of the Methodist
'hutch which will meet in Atlantic
City next April or May. Mrs.
Nicholson has served on very im-
portant committees during the unit-
trig of the three branches of the
Methodist church and is extremely
well qualified to serve as lay dele-
gate from this conference.
E. R. Ristine Is Lay
Delegate To Conference
E. R. Rist~ne was on Sunday
elected as lay delegate from the
local ~Methodist church to the an-
nual meeting of the Upper Iowa
~onference at Clinton, and with
Mrs, Ristine left on Wednesday to
emain in Clinton until Sunday, at-
".ending the conference sessions. J.

[IS COMPLETED
The rebuilding of the C.&N.W.
,took yards at IMount Vernon by a
• rew of Northwestern carpenters
was completed last Thursday.
Twelve carpenters worked ten days
on the local job.
The storm shed on the north was
rebuilt, the scales were reset and
new beams installed and the gates
were rebuilt and rehung. New feed
~tnd watering troughs were built.
The west chute was completely re-
built.
The east chute, which is equipped
for loading and unloading double-
decked cars, was in good condition.
Stock feeders and shippers here
greatly appreciate the fine condi-
tion in which the stockyards have
been placed by this work which
cost over $1,000.
Eliptical arches and French doors
replaced the old openings with
drapes. Hard wood floors were
laid throughout and the wood
work painted in old ivory
and the walls redecorated in ap-
propriate harmonizing paper, com-
pleting this attractive home on the
interior.
On the outside the old siding was
covered with a double row of
shingles, laid five inches to the
weather, painted and trimmed in
white with new window shutters
painted green completing the ex-
terior.
R. L. Frink remodeled the heat-
ing plant and installed an air-
