Boston, Feb. 21.-A student in an
American university can be success
full in study. sports and social life
ev en- when compelled to support him.
self throughout his college career. ac-
cerding to the findings of an inquiry
conducted at Harvard. Poverty, the
Investigators report, is not an nsuper-
able barrier to students who have in
itiative and courage.
The inquiry showed that some self
supporting students earned $4,000 or
more in their four years at the uni
versity and that it was not unusual for
a student to earn $4,000, stand well in
his classes and be leader in student
activities
One man who earned the latter sum
belonged to four college clubs, rowed
OF the varsity crew and was among
the best known men at college. An
other who earned a similar amount
was an officer of his-elass. was elected
to three clubs, sang on the glee club
and was first marshal of the Phi Beta
Kappa. A student who earned his
way from start to finish and was cap
tain of the university team told the
inquirers that the fact that he was
seif-supporting did not so far as he
knew, exclude him from any of the
club life at college. In fact every man
interviewed, except two, said the self
supporting student was at no disad-
Vantage nor under any social stigma.
On the contrary, many stated that
college men were likely to admire
man more because he was earning his
way.
Some of the occupations which en-
abied Harvard men to pay their way
were those of waiter, tutor. reporter,
artists model, bookkeeper. farm la
borer, day laborer, organist, choir
singer, clerk, musician in orchestra,
editorial writer, librarian, social serv-
ice worker, ticket taker, athletic coach,
physical director, tire builder and
steward. The easiest way for self
supporting student to earn his ex-
penses with a minimum expenditure

THE RECLAMATION OF

Senator Fletcher Presents a Practical
Plan to Congress

Plan to Congress
Washington, Feb. 20.-Reclamation
of unused lands in the west and south
through a series of bond issues, ope-
rating similar to the federal farm
loan system. would be authorized by a
bill introduced by Senator Fletcher,
democrat, of Florida. A similar meas
ure will be offered in the House by
Representative Smith, republican. of
Idaho.
Under the plan. $20,O00,000 worth
of bonds would be sold the first year,
$50, 100000 the second, $4,000, 900 the
third and $50,00O,000 the fourth year,
with total not more than $35, 1000, 900.
In presenting the bill Senator Flet-
cher asserted money required for con-
struction would be furnished by the
investing public without any burden
being placed upon the taxpayers.
Working out of the plan, he said,
would benefit the small homesteader.
The measure represents the concert
OF action of the south and west for
great national. rather than a sec
tional plan. The southern interest,

officials of the Southern Commercial
Congress, met here last month and
evolved a bill which the representa-
tives of the west, under the chairman
ship of Governor Davis, of Idaho,
later approved.
Former Governor Spry of Utah,
has remained in Washington in
charge of the legislative program of
the west.
The Southern Commercial Con-
gress estimated that the program. if
adopted, would make feasible the re-
clamation of 100000 to 100000
aacres of land by the end of the tenth
wear.

charge to the jury. The judge is al
ways very clear and impartial in his
charges. He does his best to hold the
scales of justice even.
The jurors went out, and in twenty
seven minutes announced they had
arrived at verdict. Headed by their
foreman, they filed back in the court
room, and the crowd waited in
breathless silence until the verdict
was announced. 1t was Guilty of
murder in the first degree with rec

Yhis was the verdict that nearly
everybody expected.
Jake Anderson, co-defendant with
Langford was acquitted.
Earl McRae was set free under a
thousand dollar bond. 1t is not likely
he will ever be tried Hardly any
body thinks he had anything to do
with the murder, and he will prob
ably be more careful who he asso-

Langford has not yet been sentenc-
