raries In Argentina and Uruguay are
preparing to don their garbs of sum-
mer and seek rest and recreation along
the sandy beaches of the far South
land. Nature reverses the season of
vacations, but not the pleasures them

of summer spent in the great outdoors,
and doubtless nothing appeals more
strongly to the masses than old ocean.
The acknowledged queen of Argen-
tine seaside resorts is Mar del Plata,
directly on the Atlantic ocean, about
$50 miles southeast of Buenos Aires,
says writer in the Bulletin of Pan
American Union. The place is a little
city within itself, being credited with
$4,000 people. With the advent of
spring, however, Mar del Plata begins
to assume greater activity and the
height of gayety is reached about the
time the people of the United States
are enduring the cold and SHOWS of
midwinter. Additional thousands are
then added to the southern resorts
population, business cares and ankle
ties are seemingly forgotten, and Ar
Confines find pleasures and diversions
at their greatest watering place.
To accommodate the crowds of pa
irons fiocking seward, the railway
leading to Mar del Plata operates nu-
merous trains in addition to the usual
daily services. Indeed, some of the
best and most sumptuously equipped
trains to be found in all Argentina are
on the route between the capital city
and this famous resort. Those who
know the road and do not care to view
the country along the route, such as
the busy business man, usually avail
themselves OF the specially provided

Two school teachers are needed at Nenai Lake for term of five months at $15O per month. Seward high school girls will be accepted for the posi- tions as long as they can fulfill the requirements. C. l.. Nagil arrived from Kcuai Lake last night to secure the teachers and he can be found at the Hotel Sexton.
 We want two teachers for the next five months.
