CAMjCIDCE. Eng., Aug. 2. The
departure ut the American soldier
slutkmts from Cambridge University
is regroUed. They are missed.
"Quite a gap has been left by the
American,'' . the 'correspondent was
told by W. F. Reddnwny, of Fjtzwil-
Uam Hall, censor of non-collegiatu
students.a nd the Rev. J. P. Whit
ney, professor of ecclesiastical his
tory at Emmanuel College .which
was John Harvard's put in a quick
corroboration.-"Indeed they are" be
said. "They were a cheery lot. We
all lilted them. They lent quite a
bit of color."
The university authorities gener
ally were Impressed by the earnest
ness with which soma of the Ameri
cans buckled down to work. All did
not work hard, however, many taking
the view that they would profit more
by looking about in a leisurely fash
ion, studying English practices and
manners and , cultivating the social
side of things, than they would be
burying themselves In books and lec
ture rooms during their limited stay.
Cambridge is. beginning to mi'.ke a
bid for Amerrnn students who look
to Europe as a field for post-gradu
ate work. Formerly Americans had
groat difficulty In securing degreos
of Doctor of Philosophy In Brills!1
universities, so they went to Ger
many. Cambridge now tins nrrangeii
a Ph. D., Sir Geoffrey said, that will
have a special appeal to American
researchers. i
English post-grduate students, like
the Americans, used to go to Ger
many. To offset a resumption of that
practice, Cambridge is arranging to
have its men go instead to universit
ies in the United States.

CUT-OUT FINES NUMEROUS.
If anyone thought for a moment
old Chief Christiansen did not menn
what he said when he ordered every
one to respect the ordinance regulat
ing cut-outs on automobiles, all that
is necessary to prove the matter is to
drivo u machine down in town with
the cut-out barking. Tho chief will
hnve nn officer after that machine as
tpiit-kly as ho can call the officer. And
Judge Eakin never learned anything
less than "five" when he went to
school, so tho fines are from five dol
lars up.
TO ATTEND LODGE MATTERS.
Senator Ed. Kiddle went, to Port

(llt'iin, of Summerville, has completed
the purchase of the Androsa farm of
50 acres located on the Hootho lune
diieL-tly north of the Walter Pierce

two years awe feu bought 200 acres
of the western part of the farm, for
merly the Luke McGinnis place, for
which ho paid $t,',0 per acre, or $2fi,
0(10.00. Tho last purchase was the
rumaininK ;i-0 acres for which he paid
$Ki0 per acre, or ?IH,000, making the
total price of $7-1 ,000 for the entire
oltO acres. The last purchase included
what was formerly a part of the John
I.mld estate.
White this looks like a )k Bum of
money to fro into n farmitiK tract,
there is another side to tho matter
and that is that Mr. Glenn, the young
farmer who has beer, on the place the
fmst four ycar.4, has an a part of this
year's production 350 tons of hay at
1) a ton ami will also have a wheat
crop that will run somewhere between
