of Miss Rebecca, daughter of At

to her as rarely beautiful" " There
was picture of the young rose

and from that we would say, she is
very rarely beautiful" and that
one of the times when she was not

Expenses at the State University

The matter of expenses is often
an item of deep interest to many
pupils who are contemplating a
university course, 1t may be said
in general terms that the cost of
attending the University of Colo
RADIO is lower than in most institu-
tions of the same rank This is
largely due to the fact that the
State University charges no tuition
for the college and engineering
courses and a comparatively small
tuition for the professional schools
of law and medicine Thus the
greater part of the cost of attend
ing the State University is for the
mere living expenses. These of
course vary with the desires of the
individual In order to obtain
definite information as to the
amount of expenditure which stu
dents in actual attendance found
it necessary to make during the
university year, statistics we're col
lected recently and the following
results obtained. The items in
cluded room, board, laundry, books
and all other expenses except fees,
tuition in the professional schools,
clothing and railroad fare. Out of
the whole nun Der making returns
six per cent reported an annual ex-
penditure of less than S125. twenty
seven per cent of less than $500,
and seventy per cent of less than
$500. In some instances students
have been known 10 rent rooms and
board themselves at total expense
each of $500 per month.
Many of the students in the uni
versity are able to find work dur
ing the college year sufficient to
pay part af their expenses. The
university cannot undertake to
find such work for students, but it
does all in its power to aid students
in securing employment. Boulder
is a town of more than 1000 in
habitants and residents are always
glad to give employment to stu
dents when they have it to give.
Several new houses are being
erected near the campus for the
accommodation of students. The
university will this year make a
new departure in regard to recon-
mending rooming and boarding
places. No houses will be printed
on the university lists which have
not been ''ia-oe-''y investigated
and found to be in all ways accept
able to students No rooming
houses will be recommended which
do not limit themselves to either
men or women

WHY-AND WHY NOTP

If Mr.. A buys farm worth
$1,000 of Mr.. b and pays $500
down he owns only Fourth the
place while Mr.. B owns three
fourths The assessor comes
around and, later on, Mr. A has to
dig up (let us say $40 taxes on
his farm of which he owns but
a quarter interest, At the end of
one year if Mr.. A has good luck
he pays Mr.. b $l20 interest on
"his' farm $500 at per cent
When the assessor gets around
to the man who actually owns
10 per cent of that $1,000 farm Mr..
B in some way "forgets" those
three $500 notes he has from Mr.
A backed by a good double
breasted, rock ribbed mortgage
and the consequence is that Mr.
b, the astute investor, pays not
one burned cent into the county
treasury.
Is that square deal in the
name of COP, humanity and jus
tice?
Nit!
Mr.. A should pay taxes on what
he owns; should pay $40; and the
man to whom he is paying Sl20
per annum interest should pay the
other $50 Each note printed
should bear printed clause some
thing like this:
"Unless this note is certi-
fed to annually by the
county assessor or his
deputy as having been
presented to him for list
ing as personal property
it shall become null, void
and uncollec.able."
Mr., b would have that note as.
sessed good and hard every time
the assessor was near enough to be
scented by yellow dog.
And wouldn't that be square?

ed he will do, it is believed that Col

stump for his law partner Ihen,

not TO become a candidate for governor

Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York August 31.-The rise in the stock market prices which set in on the 10th of the month continued throughout the whole of last week and made further progress on Monday and was followed Tuesday by a sharp and general. but ap- parently wholly technical reaction. Since Tuesday prices have advanced further al- though in a rather hesitating sort Of way and there has been material curtail- ment in activity. The now somewhat protracted advance in prices is scarcely tion unless recourse is held to purely tech nical considerations. During the past fortnight to be sure, the indications of an early collapse of the strike of the steel workers have been moderate re- vival in uneasiness in regard to the final outturn of crops, and furthermore, ap- prehensions of active monetary conditions this fall appear to becoming more wide spread.
 As these have been the main and indeed the almost exclusive matters occupying attention, it may be seen that stock market movements have not been alto gether in line with outside causes. It may be added that during the progress of the advance in the stock market, there has likewise been an entire absence of important developments affecting partic- ular stocks apart of course from the improving situation in the steel strike. The public at large is still without any definite information in regard to the rate of dividend to be declared next month on a number of important stocks although it Is quite certain that the rates fixed will have no little bearing on the future of the special stocks affected and the general market also.
