sengers on a train arriving from Guay-

reported killed and wounded.
As the train pulled out of Cullacan
the rebels were virtually In possession

treated to a church to make a last
stand. Terrific execution was wrought
by the rebels with the aid of a dyna

bays had to give that up, but I am
here to help win the fight for your ap

"I have promised myself that I would
do everything possible to help this edu
cational Institution and I propose to
carry out that resolution as long as I
live. I shall be on the board of regents
for four years and I want to accomplish
something in that time. A man with
out a college' education feels a good deal
of hesitation tn speaking to a college
audience. I feel a good deal like a
bunch grass: horse entering an auto
mobile parade. I waa denied educational
privileges when , I was young, but I
made up my mind that If X waa ever so
fortunate as: to have a boy.' he should
have everything possible to add him tn
his, work.
"It Is my idea to get the, university

land, and tt pays out a great deal of
money, every year for. ; things which!
might be produced on this land.' For In
stance, we pay ut about f 15,000 a year ,
for, eggs which might Just as well be
produced on state land. I have called

in making a cleaning out In the fish
