Horrors! Eloise Bennett is getting
"skinny." She can "almost" get be-
tween the fountain and the cigar
counter at the Varsity.
Did you ever see Mary when she
was not waiting for Eloise? Liberal
reward for anyone who has. .
There seems to be an epidemic of
"losing things." Veleta has a bad
ease. You wouldn't believe it but
Henri is always losing her lip stick.
The call of the day is to be economi-
cal, but these fifteen dollar drives up
Tarleton avenue are expensive.

When Agee was in Dallas several
months ago he saw the following in a
hotel register:
"Jfohn Smith and his valet."
Not to be outdone, Agee registered:
"Forrest Agee and his valise."
Mr. Tidwell (Chemistry 301): "Joe,
explain why an object thrown into the
air always comes down to earth
again."
• Joe G.: "I guess for the same rea-
son that time flies, water springs, rub
ber tires, music stands,'.concrete sets,
scandal spreads, cement walks and
bricks work."
Mr. T.: "You left out yourself for
marble busts. Therefor^ you must re-
peat the course."
In History I class: "What is the
Ancient Order'of Bath, Miss Cox?"
Carroll (puzzled): "I danno; I usu^

Earl."
Sam: "Did you knovv, dear, I used
to kiss- the very stamps on your'let-
ters because I knew they had touched
your sweet lips!"

Used to dampen them on Fido's nose."

Will someone please answer a ques-
tion for. Education class 309? What
njttde the cla^s laugh when one young
lady said that, love affected you
mentally rather than physically?"
The rookie had purchased himself
some new shoes, and was proudly ex-
hibiting them to Captaiq Harris.
"Good shoes," the Captain com-
mented, "but why did you get theni so
large?"
Rookie: "Well, Captain, it's like
this. I generally weay eights bat
nines just fit me and tens feel so good
that I just got elevens."

Toast to the Faculty
"Here's to the teachers;
Long may they live,
Even as long as the
Lessons they give. :
Here lies the remains of Pergival
Sapp;
He drove a car with a girl oil his lap.
Lies slumbering here, ojje ^Villlam
Blake; ,.
He heard the bell but he' had no
breaks;
Beneath this stone Jies Henry Raines;
Ic on the hill, he had no chains. ;
Here lies the body of Joseph Jay,
He died maintaining his right of way.
John Smith lies here wrtout his shoes,
He~-drove~his car while filled' with
booze.
Here lies Mary Jane—but ndt alive,
She made her car do forty-five.

When we arrived at Brownwood we
found a spirit of confidence enveloping
the whole of Brown county, Howard
P^yije had confidence in her team, and
had radiated this §pirit everywhere.
One of the first things:we heard was
that betting men Were offering us
fourteen points. We admired thein for
it. It is this spirit of self-confidence
that wins bu$t}os. Today, for the first
time, I came to the full Realization Qf
juft hpV hard, it is fpr a team to win
on the ppppnents' home ground. We
feel almost lijke a man without a
country. No gT.eat throngs greet us
with inspiration. The automobiles
sound the klaxon for the opponents.
This one-sided attitude seemed as a
weight around our riecks, which must
he thrown off; and trampled tinder
foot by the sheer grit of i>ra\yn and
imjscle.
Things are brightening now. We
have two telegrams from Tarleton.
We have a vision now. Those tele-
grams . brought to mind those seven
hundred students, who at that mo-
ment, and throughout the afternoon,
will wait with a restlessness that is
nothing short of torture. We must
win. Not for the honor of ourselves,
but for the honor and glory of the in-
stitution which we all love. On Ye
Tarleton!

After much consideration
upon the great reputation
You possess in this nation
I've a .strange inclination ,
To become your relation.
If this declaration
Of my love arid admiration
Meets with your approbation
I shall make preparation
To hiove my situation
To a more convenient station
Where I can prove my infatuaition
For the girl who in my estimation
Is the brightest constellation
In the whole creation.
Yours without reservation,

A Tarleton student was showing his
mother about the campus. The dear
old lady was anxious to make her boy
think she appreciated everything.
"Over there, mother," said the son,
is Hays Field,"
"Ah,' sighed the old lady, "What is
more wonderful than waving fields of
hay?"

Dr. Verne Scott has recently receiv-
ed instructions frorii the State Live-
stock Sanitary Commission to be on
the lookout for the foot and mouse
disease in this section. This dreaded
and destructive disease has broken
out in South Texas 'and officials, are
making all possible plans to curb its
spreading to other parts. If you have
any cattle with symptoms of foot or
mouth disease, or if you have received
any shipments of cattle from South
Texas recently, get in touch with Dr.
'Verne Scott at Stephenville and have
them examined. This examination is
free and the Doctor is more than anx-
ious to help keep this disease out of
Erath county. California last year
lost millions of dollars in the loss of
cattle from this same malady and
Texas will suffer the same loss unless
they get the .active cooperation of
Texas cattlemen.

One qf the best football games play-
ed in-Stephenville in many a day was
the game between the Stephenville
high school and the Howard Payne
second .team. The game was played
at ,the City Park during the fair and
was attended by a large crowd. At
first it appeared that Howard Payne
was too strong and experienced for
the high school youngsters but as
the :ganie progressed this feeling de-
veloped, intp a general spirit of root-,
