ADVICE TO GIRLS

the daughter of n poor farmer and
brought up in q rough way by rough
people, but she had the brains to
learn and to improve herself, and
now she is the model for every wom-
an in her own city.
There is something sincere and
earnest in your letter that makes
me believe that you have 1t in you
to rise above the station in which
YOU were born. This man sees you
as you are; that's why he loves you.
Don't let any silly idea of society
or money come between you and
your own true love.
Dear Annie Laurie:
We are two rather nice looking
girls, and we do not seem to be able
to get fellows. The first time we
meet any young men they seem to
pay a great deal of attention to us.
but they never make any appoint
ments with us, If they do they
never keep them. One evening We
met two young men who seemed
very nice and were to call us up
over the phone and make a date for
another night, but, as usual, they
never called up. The following Sun
day night we met them and they
spoke quite nicely but walked on.
We cannot understand their be-
havior, as we do not act Indifferent
toward them. Hoping you will give
us your opinion. We are, both nine
teen years old.

are not merely the verbal spinnings
of the legists. They testify to the
complexities with which every ship
that goes down to the sea is freight
ed, says New York Evening Post. The
language of the law only emphasizes
the romance of the ship: there ID the
ship. the cargo, the crew, the flag. A
single incident may interest, absorb,
inflame the passions of perhaps half
a dozen nations. The romance of the
ship can never disappear 50 long as
she carries her flag. She thereby
gives the touch of interest 20 that APP
parently most prosaic of subjects, the
thing the lawyers call exteiritoriality.
AS a bit of the national soil flung
abroad, exposed to recurrenE contract,
the tramp of a couple OF thousand
tons is an international problem. 1t
is form of territorial expansion
which exposes a government in modi-
fed degree to the collisions and
dangers which arise from land hunger
on a larger scale The captain OF a
humble freighter has a discretion
which the commander in chief of our
armies and navies does not possess,
the power of deciding on war or
peace for the nation. 1t is this ca
pacity which makes the ship and her
master far more Economically impress
sive than any situation that Joseph
Conrad has portrayed.

LITTLE FLEET OF GUNBOATs
in MEXICAN WATERS.
ReInforcements Requested by Com.
mander McNamee In View of Anti.
Foreign Demonstrations at Gen.

Washington.-Two American bat
tleships, the Louisiana and the New
Hampshire, sailed Tuesday night
from Newport, r. l., for Vera Cruz in
response to an urgent request from
Commander McNamee that his little
feet of gunboats in Mexican waters
be reinforced in view of anti-fOreign
demonstrations at General Carranza's
capital.
1t is understood that President VIII
son himself ordered the warships
sent, although no official Of the gov
eminent would even admit that they
had sailed. Care had been taken dur
ing the day to point out that any
naval or military activity at this time
would be purely precautionary to
safeguard foreign interests and should
not be construed as having any con-
nection with the Pan-Amerlcan con-
ference.
| Official reticence concerning the
movements Of the Louisiana and New
Hampshire is due largely to fear
that news of their coming reaching
| Vera Cruz ahead of the ships might
accentuate the already serious situa.

Farming is a mans game-and that
means that it is a game in which it
Is easy to lose; game in which
thousands do lose every year. Most
of these losers are men who do not
know how to farm and farm well, for
In farming it is just as necessary to
know your business as in banking,
medicine, railroad building or the law.
You may be the most willing man on
earth, the hardest worker, and yet
plaster the best farm in the state un-
der mortgages deep enough to bury
yourself. OF course, there is such q
thing as learning how to farm. If
you want to go back to the land, and
stick there, the very best thing you
can do while you're still on your city
job Is to study farming; fill your brain
full Of agricultural knowledge. Wheh
you have done that you are about
ready to make the barest start on the
land 1t can't be done in summer
but in the meantime most of us have
a back yard in which we can practice
what agricultural teachers preach.

summer schools 1T Were from states
other than Nevada and of these SO were
from California Moreover 66of these
students We're taking the regular four
Year college courses in. Arts and Silence,
Engineering and Agriculture.
The significance of this outside enroll
ment, and more particularly from Cal
is that the University of Nevada is be-
coming recognized factor in Western
educational circles.
And why should it not be? It is just
about the right size for the best instruc-
tion any student can get;namely, close
contact with his or her Instructors More
over, the equipment for imparting know
ledge is modern in every sense and the
University Faculty is recognized every
where as an exceptionally strong one.
1t is the place for Nevada young men
and women to get their college training.
That fact is emphasized in the story of
the success of the U. of n. alumni. The
University opens August 30th and this
years attendance is expected to surpass
all past records.
