We Work More.
Saturday work is becoming a feature in University life. Two years ago there was scarcely any work done in the Uuiversity buildings except in the shops Every Saturday during this term the shops have been crowded, the chemistry laboratories have been full of experimenters, the medical laboratories have been in constant use, the botany classes have kept Snow Hall aglow until six o'clock, and the draughtsmen are always busy on the third floor of Fraser Hall. If there is any school that keeps her students busy all the time it is Kansas University under the hour system.

WANTED 999 Boys and girls to eat genuine Mexican Chili at Ewing's. NORTH OF WATKINS BANK.
One of the chief attractions of the Hotel Del Monte, at Monterey, California, is the seventeen-mile drive, unquestionably the most remarkable highway in the world. Everyone of its seventeen miles brings something new, strange, and wonderful into view—natural beauties and marvels wholly distinct and singularly fascinating. The Union Pacific is the short line to San Francisco, saving you many incidental expenses en route, and the discomforts of a long journey. Inquire of H. G. Kaill, A. G. F. & P. A., Fidelity Trust Co.
