President Thomas in speaking to the
Bryn Mawr students, gave scant en-
enlargement to those girls who go to
college just because it is the thing to
do. He said, "All idlers, and all girls
who come here for the American good
time, or to pass the interval between
school and coming out or because a
woman's college is regarded by family
physicians as one of the best cures for
nervous girls, will, of course, be elimi-
mated" Colleges are getting back to
their original purpose of education in
the youthful. Some play is good

conclusion reached in a publication en-
titled "Sketch of Yosemite National
Park, " recently issued by the Depart
ment of the Interior. During the sixty
years that the valley has been known to
the white man many theories have been
put forward to account for its origin
and the most important of these are re-
viewed in the publication referred to.
Prof J. D. Whitney, the first scientist
to study the Sierra, thought the deeply
incased character of the Yosemite Val
lev to be the result of the sinking of
local block of the earth's crust having
the exact outlines of the valley.
Glaciers, he stoatly asserted, had never
so much as entered it. Galen Clark be-
lieved the valley to have originated by
the exploding of number of close-set
domes of molten rock, subsequent
stream and ice erosion smoothed out
the chasm to its present form. Prof.
Sillman considered the Yosemite as
great rupture caused by subterranean
forces-a rent later partly filled with
rock debris. Clarence King was the
first to point out the prominent role
which the ice of the glacial epochs must
have played in the elaboration of the
Yosemite Valley. John Muir goes
further and holds that the Yosemite,
like all the canyons and other features
of the Sierra Nevada, was sculptured
almost wholly by ancient glaciers In
contrast to this view is that of H. w.
Turner and several others, according to
whom the Yosemite is nothing but
stream-cut valley which has suffered
little if any modification at the hands of
the ice, but which owes much of its
peculiar shaping to the influence of the
strong vertical joints displayed in its
walls.
Willard D. johnson, close student
of ice erosion, considers the Yosemite
and Hetch Hetchy Valleys to be pro-
ducts of stream erosion, subsequently
widened by the characteristic sapping
dCIlOIl VI Tile ice. OtHCIo, ilOtdDiJ l'
| C. Andrews, of New South Wales, and
Douglas w. johnson, have followed,
all uniting in attributing considerable
Importance to glacial erosion, but diff
fering somewhat in their estimates of
the amount of work they believe should
be assigned to it.
The most probable explanation is that
the Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy Val
legs both have been developed through
stream erosion and have later been
greatly deepened and enlarged by re-
peated ice invasions; further, that they
owe their strangely clean-cut, moat-like
forms and the diversified sculpturing Of
their cliffs to the structure of the
country rock, which has locally con-
trolled the action of the eroding agent

Others have complained over ele-
vator charges and the high freight
rate. The utter lack of necessary
grain classification laws might be
cited as a still further cause. Be-
yond question, however, the great law
of supply and demand has been one
OF the chief factors In the present
low prices. A bumper crop of grain
has been raised this year in all parts
of the world. Right now they are
harvesting great crop In Argentina.
Whatever the cause may be, the fact
remains that the farmers of Fergus
county, while harvesting big crop
this year, are going to receive less &C.
tual cash than was received for the
smaller crop Of last year.
Marked progress has been made
during the year along constructive de-
velopment lines. A careful authority
has estimated that there are now In
the county no fewer than six hundred
steam and gasoline plowing outfits. 1t
Is altogether reasonable to presume
that these outfits, together with the
horse outfits, have reclaimed from its

GENERAL PROSPERITY IN FERGUS
THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF NEW LAND RECLAIMED
FOR PURPOSES OF AGRICULTURE

There has been but one fly in the
ointment of Fergus county's abound
ing prosperity during the year now
almost closed-the very unsatisfactory
condition Of the grain market. The
season was all that could be desired,
the crop was large, and barring some
unreasonable weather about the time
the harvest started, which caused
some delay, the farmers have had lit
tie cause for complaint with the eli
matte conditions. The depression in
price, a depression which began to
manifest itself about midsummer. has
caused falling off Of net receipts to
the farmers for their grain crop of
fully half a million dollars. This, as
stated, has been the one regrettable
feature of the year.
Many reasons have been advanced
for the low prices for grain which
have prevailed during the past few
months. Some have contended that
big grain spectators have secured
control Of the market and are ma
nipulating 1t to their own advantage.

STATES WITNESSES HEARD.
Prosecution in Grabow Riot Murder
Case Has It's Innings.

LAKE CHARLES. La, October d.
When the murder trial that grew out OF
the Grabow labor riot, was resumed to-
day, the prosecution was ready with
more witnesses, through whose testimony
it hoped to strengthen its contention that
the first shot of tine battle was fired by
one of the defendants. all of whom are
members. of the Brotherhood of Timber
Workers, and also to pave the way for
evidence expected later, from which the
state will argue that the union brought
about the riot through a conspiracy.
Deeply concerned in the outcome of the
trial are not only President A. l.. Emerson
and his eight fellow-members of the
brotherhood, who are before the court
and the forty-nine other union men under
Indictment, but also 2O4 dependent women
and children.
