tion of six weeks, the commencement exercises being held in September The tuition per term is 512. 57 more than the tuition at the Wabash College, the boarding in private families the same—Si.50 a week. The discipline is announced as mild but firm, and parents and guardians are requested not to furnish funds to the students, but to place the money in the hands of some member of the faculty or some other citizen, giving specific directions as to what amount shall be furnished except for necessary expenses — a quarterly exhibit to be sent to parents containing items of the accounts. There are about 120 students, all toll, in the college at this time. The other members of the senior class I met through Mr. Goodwin. One of them. Mr. John Wheeler, is an Englishman, a young gentleman of 25. with all the English characteristics. Mr. Madden, the other member, is a Kentuckian, just Mr. Goodwin’s age. and possessed of the ardent temperament of the Southerner, Mr. Goodwin I have already described. and the three present a most interesting contrast. To Air. Goodwin I owe also my acquaintance with some members of the faculty. The next day was Sunday, and he informed me that Dr. Simpson, the president of the college, was to preach on that day. at the Methodist Church, and that It would be well worth my while to accompany him thither. Accordingly. I went with him to the little one story brick church with its one coat of plastering and its rude benches where, in primitive fashion, the men sat on one Mde.-the women on the other. • Note.

Sixteen top 4-H showmen competed last night for the coveted F'rancis Lane Award before an attentive, but heat suffering crowd in the main show arena. The sixteen participants were a select group, four haring been picked from each of the respective classes shown during the week—swine, beef, dairy, and sheep. Then during last night’s competition

the group was carefully whittled to the four finalists by judge Henry Mayo of Purdue, each boy being the champion of his partiduar class. The four w'ere John Neese, swine; Richard Fordice, sheep; Keith Carrington. beef; and Carl Ferrand, dairy. During the final round the perspiration soaked young men handled each of the types of

animals in this order: dairy, swine, sheep and beef. All of the competitors performed admirably, constantly working to keep the animals in the best position for the judge to examine, keep them clean, and to have control of them at all times. But one b o y, fifteen-year-old Keith Carrington of Russellville, stood out above the rest m the eyes of judge Mayo

and most of the onlookers. Carrington gave that “little bit extra” as he constantly kept his animal looking its best and placed it in the most advantageous position. It w-as for that reason that trophy donor Francis Lane announced the judge's decision. “The w-inner of the thirteenth annual Showmanship Award is Keith Carrington.”

U.N. observers said four U.S. made FIDO jet fighters with Turkish markings strafed Polis Friday. In Ankara. Vice Premier Cemal Satir declined comment on the report. A Turkish fleet and three divisions of troops are massed by Iskenderun, 100 miles north of Cyprus. The United Nations placed its peace-keeping troops on an "emergency s t a n d b y,” and Greek Cypriot forces throughout the island were on an invasion alert. In Ankara. Turkish officials said the cabinet will decide on the basis of air reconnaissance photographs “whether or not to intervene” on Cyprus.

U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Raymond Hare called on Turkish Foreign Alinister Feridun Cemal Erkin early today to inform him Washington is ready to do everything possible to prevent fighting. In Athens, Foreign Alinister Stavros Kostopoulos said he hoped the report of the Turkish air attack on Polis " does not mean the beginning of an insane attempt to invade Cyprus.” He added that “Greece has taken all defense measures and its armed forced are in full preparedness.” Kostopoulos said the Greek government was uncertain of the meaning of the Turkish air action. The raid against Polis, a port in northwestern Cyprus, was reported to have come from the Turkish mainland, only 40 miles distant.
