SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES

The session of the summer school
at the college closed last Saturday
and Is regarded as one of the best In
the history of the institution in the
standard of the work done. SO en-
thusiastic were the students that the
college authorities announced the
plan of extending the session to -
weeks. The presence Of such strong
lecturers as Professor Groves Of New
Hampshire, DIR. Coler of Michigan
and f. H. Hayward of London, Eng
land, was highly appreciated by the
students. The lectures and readings
by members of the faculty also an
pealed strongly to those in attend
ance and aroused much interest.
A feature of the session was the
earnestness of the students and their
desire to acquire as much informa-
ton as possible. They plainly
showed that they had come with a
purpose to make the best possible
use of the advantages offered them.

OBSOLETE CANNON
FOR PULLMAN PARK
A. B. Baker Suggests That They Ra
Mounted on High School
Grounds and in Rainey
Park

a.
Baker has taken up the question of
securing from the government some
old cannon to be used to ornament
the high school grounds and Rainey
park. He suggests that one of them
be mounted by the school board on
the high school grounds and that the
other be installed in Reaney park bv
the Chamber of Commerce under
direction of the G. A. r. post. and
offers, If subscriptions are neces-
sary to pay freight charges and the
expenses of mounting the cannon. TO
contribute his share.
His letter to Congressman La Fol
lette and the reply received are as
follows:
Pullman, WASH,
June 20, 1913,
Hon. William l.. LaFollette,
House of Representatives.
Washington, ~ c..
My Dear Mr.. La toilette:
In my travels around the country.
| have noticed in various towns OBJ
solete cannon that have been fur
nished a number of places by the
war department without charge, and
it occurred to me that it would be
proper and very appropriate to OBJ
tain, if possible, through your in
fluence, a number of these obsolete
cannon for the purpose of decorat-
Ing the park at Pullman (said park,
as you know, having been set aside
by the city of Pullman for the bene-
fit and use of the old soldiers so long
as they liye). Also, it would be very
nice for our city to have one of these
cannon mounted in the southeast
corner of the high school block.
Now if you think this request to
the government would be reasonable,
and 1T would be possible for you to
procure these old cannon, / am sure
that the city of Pullman in general
and all of the old soldiers in par
ticular will highly appreciate the
same.
If four could be procured, it would
give one for the southeast, south
west and northwest corner of our
park, and one for the southeast cor
ner Of the school grounds And l
believe, If you can procure these can
non that We can get them mounted
on concrete so that they will be a
thing of beauty and of great interest
to the rising generation, and will be
lasting evidence, in small way, of
your work in congress for your home
city.
Hoping to hear from you soon, and
with highest regards and best
wishes for your success, remain,
Yours truly,

THE BIG CONTEST
HAS NOW STARTED
Entries Open--Candidates Should
Start at once-Win the Trip or
$1f9 In Cash

The big contest for the all-expense-
paid trip to the San Francisco Expo
sition or $l19 in Gold, to be given by
the Northwest Farm and Orchard
and The Pullman Herald, is now on.
However, no one has secured votes
to ANY extent so far, and any candi-
date starting in now would start on
an even basis with every other can
didate. But, any who are contem-
plating entering should do so now, as
the time allowed Is very short. Then,
too, those who have already made
their decisions will be out and doing
and any who have not already start
ed should do so at once.
The big trip or $119 in gold Ia GO
Ing to make a mighty fine prize for
some young lady for her spare time
during the next few weeks Beyond
doubt, the one who wins this valu-
able prize Will be the best paid young
lady in this section. A common er-
ror seems to be the opinion that a
candidate does not have a chance
unless she may put In her entire time
on the contest. To the contrary, one
who is working has every bit as good
chance as though she were able to
devote her entire time. The field In
Pullman Is limited and there are
very few young ladies who will not
be able to see every friend she has
during the three weeks the contest
lasts, Time after time it has been
proven that the amount of time a
young lady has to put into these con-
tests has had very little to do with
her winning or not winning. The
main thing is to show your friends
that you are really out after 1t and
want it. One hundred and nineteen
dollars is worth working for. You
can win II you make up your mind
that you want it and stick to it.
How about it, young lady? Are you
going to take advantage of your OPP
portunity or are you going to allow
it to slip by and lose that $119 you
might just as well have had.
