that boy borrow the money for his
college education rather than impair
his chances of good standing by over
work during his years of study.
Furthermore, in economizing on the
expenses of college training, the parent
should avoid any attempt to get cheap
board for his son. There can often be
saving on room rent, on books, and
even on clothing; but any saving on
board is at the expense Of health and
mental efficiency. Many good student
has passed through four miserable
years of decreased mental power and of
genuine suffering because he has eaten
cheap and unwholesome food, and in
some cases there have been bitter
tragedies as result 1t is far better
to wear an old coat than to carry an
empty stomach; far better to use
secondhand books than to eat second.
class food. The real saving in college
can be on those incidental expenses"
which form one of the largest single
items Of college expenses. The amount
of money boy is to spend in college
is largely determined by the "set" with
which he associates. If he chooses
economical companions, his incidental
expenses can be almost as low as if he
remains at home; if he picks out the
sporting" contingent in college, he
may expect his incidental expenses to
be several times as large.
Happily the time has come when the
college does not have to appeal to the
public merely because it is cheap.
Parents have found that an offer Of
tuition at a low figure ceases to be the
special feature of any college, and has
become one of the claims of every insti-

ginia.
Which Is Best for Your Boy?
But often it happens when parent
what type Of institution is most apt to
develop the boys character and what
colleges can guarantee healthful
environment at reasonable prices he is
no nearer the solution of his problem
than at the outset He finds himself
forced to choose from large number
of colleges which have apparently the
same title to his patronage. He feels,
however, that even if there is no
appreciate difference between them,
and that of many good there can hardly
be one best, but he may think that there
is one better suited than the others to
the needs of his particular boy.
We cannot, Of course, solve this
problem, and, in fact, are not prepared
to admit that there is any one college
in the South which deserves the title
best. All those at least whose
announcements appear in this section
are good; otherwise, they would not
have place in our list. Yet there are
certain rules for Judging the efficiency
of any educational institution-rules
which can be applied by any man, and
rules to which none can object. Every
college president whose announcement
appears in this section will gladly
submit to the scrutiny Of his work on
this basis.
Entrance Requirements.
The first consideration, of course, is
the standard of admission and the
strict regard therefor shown by the
college. The Association of American
Colleges has adopted certain fixed

Almost Rebellion.

The question of dipping cattle
for the eradication of the Texas
cattle fever tick, and the propos-
ed enforcement of that order,
had a considerable mum Der of the
people pretty highly wrought up
last Monday and some of them
went so far as to talk outright
rebellion. The court took no
further steps in the matter ex-
cept to authorize the building of
an additional dipping vat IN each
of the old civil districts, which
will give three to the old dis
tricts, and to authorize the State
Livestock Inspector and the
County Board, on charges being
/ made, to discharge and appoint
district inspectors. Many citi-
zens do not hesitate to say that
some of the district inspectors
have not been doing their duty
We presume that the people who
object to the cattle dipping have
the right to legal proceedings in
the matter, but outside of that
possible redress the revolt
against the order to dip cattle
and to comply with other regula-
tions, is worse than childish.
All issued orders should be
promptly obeyed and the cattle
quarantine raised as soon as pos
sible-which is the object of the
government, State and Federal,
has in view.

He Did Not Scare.

In regard to the letter threat
ening to kidnap one of Gov.
Hooper's children, the Governor
said:
The letter was so mild and
gentle in its language compared
with the style of oratory aimed
at me in the Legislature for the
past week, that it merely af-
fords me an agreeable diver.

1T has been my custom never
to magnify occurrences of this
kind by giving them to the
newspapers. l have received
quite a number of threatening
letters of various descriptions
during the last two years.

handwriting and the language
carefully, and | know that the
man who wrote the letter is not
a kidnaper. The letter was
written merely for the purpose
of annoying me, but it failed to
bring the desired result. 1t did,
however, cause my wife some
uneasiness."

Five in a Bunch.
Governor Hooper Places
the Stamp of Disapprov-
al on That Number of
Bills.

The daily press Of last Monday
contained five veto messages to
the Legislature, viz:
To establish new State Pris-.
on on the Herbert Domain and
the creation of an additional
corps of prison officials. The
Herbert Domain is twenty miles
from a railroad and the presence
Of coal in paying quantities on
the property is not known. The
Governor says we now have en-
ployment for every convict the
State has.
The second bill to which the
Governor declined to afix his
approval, was known as the Mem
phis Privileges Bill. His excel
lency says, II know Of no reason
why the city Of Memphis should
have q special privilege tax law"
and stated in so many words
that the "nigger in the wood
pile" was plainly to be seen by
all men-reduction of the whole
sale and retail liquor privilege
from $500 to maximum Of 5000.
1t occurs to. the Governor that
the lawless liquor dealer in
Memphis is not entitled to any
favoriteism at the hands OF the
State"
Third, the Memphis Auditing
Property Bill, which seeks to
force citizens Of Memphis by
taxation to pay for putting in
street lights, lamp posts, towers,
etc.
Fourth, the Bill proposing tc
giving Memphis the legal right
to employ an unlimited number
of assistant city attorneys.
Fifth, the bill attempting tc
abolish the Office Of County
Judge Of Gibson county. The fact
is, the effort was made to abol

The Governor says he is inform
ed that Judge Powers has made
the county an excellent officia
and saved it money-and thar
there is no politics in the matter
because Wash is a regular Dem

COLORADO AMATEURS
GETTING cold FEET
Promise of Banquet Required
to Induce Them to
Meet Utahns.

Physical Director Gtngrich OF rte Y,
NJ. c. A. who IS managing the state
champions in their effort to capture the
1ntermountain titles has received word
from Denver that the contests Will take
place on February %, The local boys
will probably leave Sunday.
II seems that the Colorado champs are
getting cold feet already, For when they
heard that they would have to meet the
Utah lads for their titles they ali went
on strike. After great deal OF talk
II was decided that the bouts now on in
Denver will merely determine the Colo
rado championships and the Utah boys
will not be allowed to compete.
The twenty-five special tournament Will
be for the 1ntermountaip titles. In
these bouts the local boys will meet the
Hctora of the Colorado tournament. To
bring all this about Reddy Gallagher who
promise his boys a seven course banquet.
In contrast TO the timidity OF the Den
yer boys Is the copfidence displayed by
the local lads. All OF the boys agree
on the prediction that they will clean
up everything In sight
Mike Yokel also expressed the opinion
that the boys would be successful, The
champs are all working hard so to
be in the best OF condition. Freddie
Crabbe, winner OF the Intermountain title
last year, did not enter the tournament
this year because OF an injured ankle,
but he Is now back on the mat showing
the champs some tricks that maN be
useful In Denver.
Ben Harker Will accompany the Deseret
men on the trip.
