ClNGLY and in little groups, spring
y hats have been venturing out of
their boxes and into the chill but bright
and promising days Of late winter
in the northern states. In warmer
climes sport hats for spring, and
some others of different character
have fourished under summer skies,
and they have set the pace for spring
understanding that there is to be a
great diversity in styles, especially in
the matter of size.
This point is apparent in the group
of hats shown here. The earliest hats,
as usual, are made Of fabrics, or fab
RIGS and braid combined, and there is
much hand work on them. The group
pictured includes the range in size
and the shapes are popular. The wide.

CHAPTER III. i

He had not forgiven her four years
later when he entered high school In
her company, for somehow Ramsey
managed to shovel his way through
examinations and stayed with the
class. He was unable to deny that
she had become less awful lookin'

honest enough to make a partial re-.
traction when his friend and class.
mate, Fred Mitchell, insisted that an
amelioration of Dora's appearance
could be actually proven.
"Well, I'll take it back. / don't
claim she's every last bit as awful
lookin' as she always has been," said
Ramsey, toward the conclusion of the
argument. 'I'll say this for her, she's
awful lookin', but she may not be as

 The wedding banquet was served beneath mammoth canvas tent cov- ering an acre of ground adjoining the Salmen home.
 One hundred and twenty-five wait CTS were brought from New Orleans.
 Here Is what they had to serve :: 2,5OO loaves of bread for sandwiches 800 pounds of turkey, 800 pounds of smoked ham, $50 pounds of veal $50 pounds of smoked OK tongue, 15O pounds of cheese, 1,5OO gallons of coffee. 300 gallons of fruit punch 5000 biscuits and 10000 cakes. The wedding cake was three feet at the base and five feet high.
 Wedding gifts valued at S1OOOOO were received.

Worlds Farthest

What, 1t Is believed, - will be the worlds "farthest north" university-the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, within hundred miles of the Arctic circle-will open its doors next September, Charles E.

 The college campus is situated on tract of land four miles from Fair banks on the main line of the new government railroad, set aside by congress in 1915. The college itself was formally established in 1917 by an act of the territorial legislature, and $6O,OOO set aside for buildings and equipment.
 The sum proved inadequate, and In 1921 an additional appropriation of s41, 900 was made. Most of the op- erating expenses will be met by the territory of Alaska, but S50.OOO will be available from federal funds, ac- cording to President Bunnell.

 The work of the college, President Bunnell predicted, is destined to play an important part in the development of the territory.
 There was under cultivation in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks last year, he pointed out, total of 1,020 acres. This land produced 100 tons of vegetables, 1,006 tons of oat hay, 1,270 bushels of oats and barley, 3,516 bushels of wheat and 392 tons of po- tatoes. The wheat represents the yield of 1S3 acres. This yield can be multiplied many times as more land is brought under cultivation through the application of proper methods.

IICAN. UTAH, COLO, ARIZ., N. - M.-There "ain't no such place" as Ucan-except in the mind of A. T. H. Brewer of Chicago, who thinks there ought to be. He suggests that there Is but one spot in the United States where four states come to- gether; that the four states are Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. and that the initials of these four states spell the word "Ucan," which would do for the name of the spot. And he adds:
