"Dave Porter At Star Ranch"
Dave Porter At Star Ranch"
by Edward Stratemeyer. The
Dave Porter Series Is known
tn )ughout the country as favorite,
and there are few, IL any, books so
persistently ordered long in advance
Of publication as is each newly an
nounced one having Dave Porter as
its hero. In this book Dave passes
a summer vacation at ranch in
Colorado, owned by friends Of his
newly.found sister, Laura. OF course
some of Dawes inseparable school
friends are included, and highly inter
esting features developed from the
fact that a neighboring ranch is own
ed by the father OF Link Merwell, a
vicious student with whom Dave and
his honorable, gentlemanly comrades
had come into natural conflict. I'm
expected events and disclosures in
crease the interest. Dave carries
himself throughout as the best type
of an athletic. and at the same time
brainy and well-bred American school
boy. The book Is so written as to be
entirely independent Of the series, al
though continuing SO many OF the fav-
orite characters. Lothrop, Lee &
