Yet the sign appears for reasons unknown ' to us, and people passing wonder If the janitor will not soon be putting the towels out on the Iront fence to dry. The University Hall tower has proven an excellent place for signs this winter , and it also places the sign in a place where it may be seen by all. Bulletin boards are also furnished for advertising purposes, yet the fence re ceives the preference. From the Far East.
