one mans guess is just about as good
as another's. If claims of the con-

be to prove that the North Carolina

It is obvious, therefore, that some

ANNOUNCEMENT

President Coolidge early this morning
for San Francisco with a cargo of
silver valued at more than 81 100000,
which the Japane5e-sponsored gov
eminent apparently considered was
its property. The Dollar Line agreed
to. unload the silver, and permission
was granted to sail at a. m. Tues
day.
Meanwhile gigantic confIagration
threatened to destroy Canton as fires
roared into residential districts after
burning out the business sections.
Japanese dynamite squads blasted
firebreak around the burning areas
in an effort to halt the. spreading
flames, while foreign volunteers aid
ed in trying to save foreign buildings.
In Hankow, Chinese began wiring
Japanese properties for retaliatory ex-
plosives as the Japanese offensive
reached to within 20 miles of the
city. To Japanese protests, the Chi
nese replied they would give "a hours
notice if they decided to destroy the
mined buildings, some of which are

inspection more difficult and does
much to confuse and confound the
average farmer in making his fer
tilizer purchases, the assistant COM
missioner believes. He has pointed
out that the question is very i'm
portant one, as North Carolina farm
ers use millions of tons of fertilizer
each year, about one-seventh of all
the fertilizer used in the country.
Mr.. Coltrane also stressed the fact
that in moving for a reduction in
number of fertilizer grades, the State
Department of Agriculture is not try
ing to ram anything down the un-
willing threats of manufacturers or
farmers. The problem is one which
calls for the cooperation of I'LL inter-
ested groups in remedying Situation
which is generally admitted on all
sides to be difficult one.
DR.. C.. B. Williams of the North
Carolina Experiment Station, has
pointed out that 1--WE don't recon-
mend more than 20 analyses; and Mr..
Coltrane has repeatedly stressed the
fact that farmers buy much too high
a percentage of fertilizer not recon-

five fights of stairs, pausing every
step to accept greetings from up

enjoy himself. Finally he tapped on
Bob's door, hat in hand.
Their conversation lasted half an
hour. Calculus had to bring Bob
up to date on campus gossip, on
Houston news. Incidentally he had
to take charge of Bob's cleaning

CHAPTER 2

Mr.. ROBERT OSBORNE
TOWNE, Rice Institute senior, was
a man with no troubles whatsoever.
Once he had known trouble. His
dad had been bankrupt in what the
older people called a depression"
The net result, on Bob, had been to
miss two years of schooling be-
tween high school and college. But
that had been five years ago. Now
Bob was on top of the well-known
world. ~
The well-known world consist
ed Of:
q. Rice Institute, and the Incl
dental remainder of Texas.
b. The Rice Owls, holders of the
Southwestern championship in
football. A
AS to the university, Bob had it
eating from his hand. He vas, in
short, president Of the student
body-testimonial enough to his
popularity. #
And as to the tea1n-his heavy
wooden gray sweater already held
a blue r and two arm stripes in
blue. A Rice letternaan can have
only three football stripes. And his
senior year was yet to be played.
Oh. yes-one other thing. Per-
haps it ought to be listed as "a"

G aldine Pom erOy. alias
Peaches. She was Bob Towne's
girl. Or so everybody said, includ-
ing Peaches herself.
She was plenty good looking. She
had a figure like-like-well, you
just ought to see Peaches in a
bathing suit! And old man Pomeroy
has more millions than East Texas
has oil wells. Yep, Mr.. Robert Os-
borne Towne was a man with no
troubles whatsoever!
He hung his curly head out a
window of East Hall dormitory now
and yodeled, or shrieked, or
screamed: ZEE YEA-A-A-A-HAH-
ah-ah-ah YEOW"
This translated, to- whomsoever
heard it, Hello, gangs dts great to
see you all again!" Many a collie
gian hailed back. Everybody liked
handsome Bob Towne. And hand
some Bob Towne liked everybody.
His class once voted him the stu
dent most-likely-to1succeed; he
grinned and said phooey, he had
already succeeded FIg not only was

Towne originated that. He and
Peaches Pomeroy. People said Bob
would go into business with
Peaches father after graduation.
Bob hadn't considered that. He
hadn't even proposed marriage to
Peaches yet, for that matter. To
Bob, the past was forgotten, the
future was nebulous. the present a
glorious time to live.
