There arc over a hundred members
of the college faculty. While they all
receive salaries sufficient to get by on,
it is doubtful if any of them get more
money thau they can conscientiously
spend. Rainy days are just as apt to
jjome on a college professor as any
one else. They human just like
the rest of us, and while they are not
given credit for knowing much out
side of books, you will find that be-
tween the professor and his wife they
know something about the prices of
the necessaries as well as luxuries of
life. They don’t slough off their
motley just to get rid of it.
The business of these college folks
is cash, and if a merchant will take
the time to figure approximately what
the families of one hundred faculty
members will consume in a year's time
it is likely after this that ‘'faculty
member!" will mean a different thing
when one enters a stcre in Stillwater.
There are two sides to every case
or question and we understand that
there has been well grounded com-
plaint on the part of local merchants
that some members of the college fac-
ulty discriminated against them by
ordering from mail order houses goods
that could have been purchased here
at practically the same figures.
The citizens of Stillwater, aud es-
pecially the merchants, have done a
great deal to help make the college a
success. Much of this help is not vis-
ible or tangible, especially to a new
comer in the city, yet it goes to the
institution in various ways every day
in the year. The citizens have been
generous in providing homes for the
members of the faculty aud students.
Rents and board and loding are excep-
tionally low in this city when compar-
with other college towns, which mean
much to a college that caters to and
draws the greater per cent of its stu

There may be some merchant here
who has at some time overcharged
members of the college faculty inten-
tionally, but we cannot believe that
the practice is general. Most of the
merchants have been here for a long
time—in fact too long to still be cheat-
ing. As a whole they are exceptional-
ly good men, and we believe that those
who have dealings with them will find
them reasonable on prices and square
in every way.
In the meantime if there is a mer-
chant in this town who is guilty of the
aforementioned charge, mayhap this
article will be the cause of the other

He createdl a desire among
the farmers to see and hear more
