count of the vast amount of building
operations now in progress on the
campus Buildings are being aired
and renovated, furniture placed in po-
sition, walks and driveways cleared
and leyeled, and thousand and one
other things being done. All available
labor is being used and in some in
stances professors were being pressed
into service, notably among whom
was Prof. X. j. Potts, professor OF
highway engineering, who was hold
ing down the business end OF a
scraper Great Is a school like that
where the practical things OF life are
taught, and where the professors are
men OF strength and stamina suffi-
cient to get out and do the things
taught in the classroom. Such a
course on the part of professors has
it's moral effect upon the students and
is an incentive and an inspiration for
them.

LETTER AND ENVELOPE
T0PLAY IMPORTANT PART
Photographic Copies Made Of Them,
Supposed TO Have Been from
soyce to Mrs. Sneed.
Isy Associated Press.l

Dallas, Texas, Sept 1.-two Elm
street photographers were found to-
day who said they recently made
photographs of letter and an en-
yelope which are expected to play an
important part in the latest Speed-
Boyce killing. The envelope was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Lena Sneed A letter
is supposed to have been in this en-
velope. Two photographers were used
apparently because the first print was
made so hurriedly as to be useless.
Harper & Co., who photographed the
letter, would not state positively that
1t was written to Mrs. Sneed, but
George X. Weatherington, who photo
graphed the envelope, remembers dis
tinctly 1t was addressed to Mrs.
Sneed. He says he noted that 'partic-
ularly because he knew her as a girl.
and was furthermore surprised to
note she was living near him on
Reiger avenue here. This was duriEg
the time this summer when the
Sneeds resided five weeks on Reiger
avenue.
Harper & Co. said the picture they
made of the letter was not much of a
success because they were given only
a few minutes to complete 1t. The
man bringing the letter seemed nerv.
Gus. The Harpers say he resembled
Sneed Weatherington also said the
man who wanted the envelope photo
graphed appeared in great hurry.
The description of both pho
tographers shows it was the same
man who visited them both. The let
ter was much rumpled. Neither pho.
tographer would show plates of the
letter.

Rug pcddlars were again working
this city this week. TO many people
the purchase of an oriental rug from
IA man with foreign accent is most
pleasing especially when the price
seems so very low. TO secure Il real
work of art direct from the artist him
self is very alluring but it is most dis
trossing to learn afterwards that the
same rug was purchased right in one
of the home stores for about half what
the artist asked for it. Most of these
peddlars buy their rugs of local mer-
chants occasionally they ship them in
from IA nearby town. The way to pro-
tect yourself is to patronize home
me chants.
