In order that a town or city may make a

ON TO COLLEGE
Give that Bright Boy or Girl
A Chance

If you have q boy or girl in your home,
of the proper age, who has an ambition to
20 to college, and the necessary educa-
tional preparation, supply the opportunity
even at some sacrifice on the part Of the
rest of the family. Most parents are
willing to do everything in reason for
their children, but not every parent can
see the desirabiIity or necessity of fur.
nishing q college education for their off.
spring. They argue that they had none
of these advantages in their youth and
that they got along all right and there.
fore the children do not need it. Can q
boy plow corn any better with college
diploma sticking out Of his pistol pocket,
or can girl make better pies because she
can conjugate the verb ITO love- in three
different languages? To this question we
want to answer, Yes.
By this we do not mean that the
college bred farmer can turn neater or
truer furrow than his country cousin who
never attended anything but district
school. But the college bred farmer will
have larger and truer conception of life.
Because his mind has been broadened
and developed, the best that is in him
has bad chance to develop, and he
will 60 through life spIendidly equipped
to make the best of everything. A COL
lege education seldom converts a fool into
wise man, but if there is anything in
one, it brings it to the surface and enables
him to make the best use of such faculties
as nature has endowed him with.
Who knows what that bright boy or
girl Of yours might develop into if given
chanceP Because your life may have
been narrow and cramped, denied certain
advantages and opportunities don't
you, withhold them from the young
people, who in the struggle of life in the
years to come, will need the full measure
of the powers that now lie dormant and
latent within them. Give the boy or the
girl chance, and if nothing else comes
of it, they will be better men and women
for the time spent within college walls.
And better men and women is the crying
need of the world, yesterday, to-day and
forever.

The san Francisco Call prints q
dispatch under Mare island date line
of November II, stating that the an
nounccment had been made at the
Pacific cruiser fleet was TO sail for
China, and that the ships, before sail

for six months.
Admiral Cowlcs. commandant Of the

service and newspaper speculation for
some time past.
THE only recent information
have had about the movements of the
Pacific fleet is the cable message re-

the original orders, issued by the de-

vidod cruise to Honolulu for the
fleet and stay of practically u month
in island waters, returning to Mare
Island by January 10. But there is
no reason why those orders should

Thought that this was caused by the
pulling OF the body out of the river.
On the right temple there is Il

seems to be that Schooley was hit on
