Greely, in the Century. 1t was Frobish-
er, however, who In 1576-7S first gave
distinct national character to the
quest. John Davis of Davis strait,
followed in three voyages, 15s5-sS, and
then, in 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
wes that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore it will not be-"
The search for the Atlantic side
closed for two centuries with the voy-
age Of a great seaman, William Baf-
fin, who, in tiny boat of IS tons. with
q miserable equipment, but an un-
daunted heart, attained, in 1916. the
highest north in the western hemis-
phere, II degrees As minutes N, and
discovered three radiating sounds,
Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last
being the eastern entrance to tho long
sought passage.

The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex.

DREADED TO EAT.
4 Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given q thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in q hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and Its accompanying
miseries.

and nervous for 15 or 20 years from

who can attend only during the

IL IS desired 10 give prominence to
these short courses. A strong

The prospects OF the college for

The Washington government has
increased the appropriations - the
college 10 such an extent that IN
FIVE years time we will be reccIv.
ing 10000 annually for our main.
flamenco along the principal lines
Of our work. None Of this money
can be used for building purposes.
Congress, however, has given US
permission 10 issue bonds for the
purpose Of building, and we shall
have two new buildings within the

Agriculture and Horticulture, the
other TO Household Economics
and the preparatory department.
In addition 10 this, the students
and their friends have raised SI2-

Y. NJ. {. a. building on the col
lege campus. This is TO be con-
struCted Immediately. 1t is the
only Y. NJ. &. A. building in the
United States west Of Kansas,
in connection with a college and
the students have reason to be
proud Of their record in this re-
spect.
The college has a teaching force
OF thirty-three, and an equipment
Tar IN advance Of anything to be
found elsewhere in the Territory.
The cost OF attending the institu-
ton is exceedingly reasonable.
The text books are free and five
dollars is the entire tuition charged
to a resident Of New Mexico. This
leaves only the actual cost Of board
and room TO BE- paid by the stu
dent, and these are not high.
The instructors OF the college
are anxious to acquaint the people
OF the Territory with the facilities
offered 10 them by the government
