Following is tie fifth letter from
Frank Harold, of Americas, Rhodes
scholar at Oxford, Eng. who enter
ed that college in October:
Oxfcrd, England Nov. 81, 1920.
Hartford College.
Dear Father:
AS to the different questions you
ask in your letter.
First, you ask about the mess hall.
/ think | explained that we have
breakfast and supper in hall togeth-
er. Each college has its own hall.
You know there are 20 colleges here.
But lunch is served in our rooms.
The scout" cooks nothing. He
brings your lunch from the kitch-
en-, serves it in your dishes, cleans
your table and washes your dishes.
He waits on about six boys. Lunch
as a rule, is very slim, Tor you go
out for a game within half an hour
after eating it.
Tea, however, is a big thing. In
theory it is supposed to be cup of
tea and a cracker, but here at Ok
ford after playing for two hours the
most strenuous games (Which exer-
else | have written you before ev-
cry student is required to take) they
have big teas, toast, bread, sand
witches, crumpets and sweet cakes. 1t
is more of a meal than lunch when
bread, cheese and jam is served. l
have milk, too, and we can have meat
if we wish.
Dinner is supposed to be the big
meal at seven O'Clock. am so tired
of mutton and cabbage.
You see on account of two of the
meals being served in our rooms we
need some dishes all the time and
If you have any company you must
have several. haven't many, Just
q few.
About the classes. Each college
has a lecture room, maybe two, and
Its hall which is used as a lecture
room. Then there is one building,
exam schools, which have several
lecture rooms. Most lectures are
three times a week, some two times
a week, As the colleges are scat
tered all over the town, you have to
get on your bicycle and ride from
one college 10 anothea or to the
exam school building.
As to. study, your tutor is the
whole cheese. You never ask a
question and are never called on in
lecture. You go to your tutor
once a week. At the first of the

An Open Letter To
Chief Of Police
John Bragg
JOHN BRAGG, Esq,

JOHN BRAGG, Esq,
Chief of Police, Americas, Ga.
My dear Chief:
Look out!
There's a bandit, one Black
Deering by name, headed straight
for Americas. 1t would be well
for you and your officers to keep
a sharp lookout for this man. He's
desperate character and will re-
sort to any means to escape.
Recently he was apprehended
by Sc ldiers of the United States
Army, but escaped by leaping
from the train, even though he
was bound hand and foot.
l have heard of the great Of
ficiency of your organization and
know that you take keen pride
in that efficiency. Hence this
friendly warning.
When last seen Black Deering
passed the Toll Gate this side of
Rincon, headed in the general
direction of Americas. At that
time he was dressed-evidently
in disr"'se-in the garb generally
worn by William S. Hart. His
intent, / believe, is to stay in
Americas for about two days.
Sincerely,
WALTER LINDLAR.
