from junior colleges received more
benefit From their university work
than did the students coming direct
from high schools.
Closer supervision, which is posi-
Bile in the smaller classes of the
Junior colleges and which cannot
be supplied in the big university
classes was given as the reason for
this condition. The state institution
is for this reason firmly in favor
of the junior college system.
Prof. House stated, in speaking
of the work being done here in the
junior college. that everything is
progressing spleudidlv. For the
first time courses are being offered
in second wear French, physics,
history-which includes a study of
the Latin-American nations, and
English, as well as advanced math-
ematical work which includes cal
eulus, also organic and quantitative
chemistry and radio.
While no definite number is vet
available Prof. House SAYS he be-
lieves from all indications that a
number of the present second year
college students will continue their
work in the state university and
some other advanced institutions
next wear.

COOL In VALLEY
San Benito People Anxious to Return
Home.

San Benito, Tex, Aug. 11.-Lettcrs
received from San Benito people who
are now sojourning in the northern
states are to the effect that they are
experiencing extremely hot weather
and that they will be glad to get back
to the Rio Grande Valley where they
can again enjoy the cool breezes from
the Gulf.
The mercury has but once or twice
in the month of July gone to 100. and
then only for short time. no matter
how hot the days have been the nights
are always cool and pleasant. Tie won
derful climate Of this valley is not APP
preciated' until one who lives here or
who has spent some time here in the
summer months goes north to find
cool weather and finds instead sitting
ly hot days followed by the same kind
of nights. The valley climate is ideal

taken in all probability by the new
gold currency which is outlined in the
Cuno plan Of financial reform.
Francs at New Low.
Meanwhile there are no signs that
the German attitude on the Ruhr is
weakening. One of the main purposes
of the proposed international gold
loans is to sustain the policy Of pas
sive resistance. Even the optimism Of
ficially professed by France is no
longer making an impression. The in
ternational money markets have beea
asking with greater insistancc what j.
the outlook for French finances. In
demnity collections are virtually nil
for France is not getting enough coal
out of the Ruhr 10 pay even the ex.
penses of the army Of occupation. And
the answer TO this question has ap.
peared in the steady Slipping of francs
below the lowest for all time.
Under the budget adopted on July
there was a deficit in ordinary rev.
enues of the French government of
00.O00,000 francs which was not al
all bad. But the special budget which
includes the expenditures for recon
structiOn showed a total deficit of
nearly ten billion francs. against
which France expected to collect
from Germany some 3.j6S, 900. 600
francs during the present year. 1t now
appears that even this expectation was
entirely too sanguine.

MANY LAND SEEKERS
San Benito Hotels Overlooking With
Guests.
San Benito. Tex, Aug. IL

San Benito. Tex, Aug. lin the
last few weeks a marked difference
has been noticeable in the number Of
strange people seen on the streets of
San Benito. Hotels report almost
nightly more guests than they have
room TO accommodate, while proprie-
tors of rooming houses say the demand
for light housekeeping rooms is far
greater than it has been for about
two years.
The reason for this is explained
from the fact number of people have
purchased lands from the various com
panies operating in the vicinity of San
Benito and Harlingen and the new
owners are arriving TO take posses
sion of the same and make the neces-
sary improvements. while this is be-
ing done the families must have living
quarters hence the demand. She out
