every , drill. i know you can drill,
and i know that B Company can
Win the competition. When extra
drills are called, every loyal B Com-
pany man will be there every time.
We must show the college, that we
are as good.as the companies that

MERIT TESTS COMPLETED
Fern's. Golden' Syria, No. 428,839
a purebred Jersey cow in the John
Tarleton Agricultural College dairy
herd,, has' just completed her see-
^ ond Register-of. Merit test by the
American Jersey Cattle Club, and
made approximately 8,866 pounds
of milk And 496.6 pounds of butter-
fat in 365 days. •' Her first record
was 8,609 pounds- pf milk and 448.-
44 pounds of fat in 304 days. Only
, one of her raughtera is now in the
heard, and although jqst a year old,
— she shows great promise of develop-
ing into an excellent ■ producing
cow. '
Noblemen's Katy Lee, 851,863,
another one of the cows on test,
started Her record while less than
two years old, and in the first
eight months of her testj „she was
! in the 50 p'ound Jbutterfat list every
month arid ranged from, first! to
•fifth in her class in the United
States every month.- In her; eight
months, she made over 63 pounds
of- butterfat and was beaten by
Oflly one other yealing Jersey in
the1 United States.
The college- dairy herd now has
eight purebred J§rsey cows on of-
ficial Register of Meits tests.—H.

All has been quiet in our domi-
cile1 here recently.
Risinger has been in the hospi-
,tal. . We all, missed hearing him
come down tjje hall, yelling, "Tai-
lor Work, Tailor Work." Fish Mer-
rill doesn't make quite so much
noise. ' '
Something happened to one of Joe
Clark's letters. He didn't like it
^much. All the fish maintain their
innocence but you never can tell.
Fishes Fuller and Glenny have
been welcomed' royally l?y now.
Both of these! boys are not oppos-
ed to making a little whoopee oc-
casionally. In fact, Fuller seems
to be well versed in that particu-
lar art. i'
Frazier, Elam and somebody
else fell out of a-room the other
night. Ask. them about it.
"Handsome" Harry Tryer was
officer of the day oyer the week
end. He borrowed all of the pen-
cils, flashlights in the Fort. Surely
"Handsome" will • be a mayor soon.
Joseph Brosius has the S. 1 A.
worse than: ever.
Doubtful Dumb : has it pretty
bad. He spends most of his time
gazing at the moon and writing
poetry. ' ,: ^
"Steenie" Stinson went to Ft-
Worth on Friday afternoon in or-
der to take the examinations for
ap appointment to West' Point. We
hope he makes good. That is, if
he can get .over a very- bad attack
of the S. A. whjch seems to be
troubling him just now.
The "Duke" is still haywire,
Our beloved Colonel got him-
self pasted for missing an Eco-
nomics class.
Frazier wejs in charge of the
Fort last Saturday night. The Col-
onel had an important appoint-
ment. We wonder.,

A few issues back somebody
made several uncomplimentary re-
marks about , us. Just any .time
that person feels lucky, let him
come up to see us. We promise a
r'pyal 1welcome tp everyone he will
bring with him.
New radiators have been install-
ed in the 'rooms on the north side
of the hall.. Maybe those fellows
will be able to keep warm now.
Bridge playing is now a very
popular game. It seems, funny to
play without first closing and'
locking the) doors.
Station OXX will now sign off.

Our volley ball team- has been
'working out daily and we! are whip-
ping into form rapidly. The team is
very anxious to get a game'w|th
sowo other group of college students
Not boasting^ bub we believe we can
whip any other team in college. If
you don't believe volley ball ia a
rilan's game, just-' come over, and
play with us. You will be convinced
in one, afternoon. We guarantee

Robertson and, Bichardso'n spent
the w^ek-end in their home towns.
The rest of us certainly do envy
them, as we cannot hayel tlfis privi-
lege, but we, did the next best thing
:—went to Sunday school and church.
It seems that Young1 and Russell en-
joyed the church services very much,
even if Russell did have to;sit on the
floor at B. Y. I\ TJ. '
Last Friday night Lessieand Mr.
Head entertained us with, some- very
fine violin rnusci, After Leslie play-
ed some popular and classical music,
she accompanied Mr* Head . on the
piano while he played some very
snappy old-time tunes. It was sure
hard to sit still and abide by the
rules of the purple book. We had
visitors at the entertainment. (We.
aren't eayin'g who), but if you would
like to knew, just ask Fish Russell.
After the, musical entertainment,.
Mrs. Head served us with - parched
peanuts. We contend that Corporal
Blanton is the "cliampeen" peanut
eater and sofa warmer in college, -
Blanton has been, down-hearted
and blue the last few'days, past Fri-
day he was seen walking up and-
down the lower hall of the main
building. His eyes were very misty,
am] lie was continually glancing in-
to the registrar 's office. According
to his roommate he keeps , a little
white rose between the pages !<?f his
Bible, and every now and then he
goes and looks at it very wistfully,
Richardson, the wqman hater, has
been visiting the woodshed frequent-
ly. We are afraid he has the.S.A. 38
we saw him, carrying an essay over
to that place last Thursday after-
noon,
Sergeant Young is afraid he has
lost his high school ring and. the. girl
that was with-it. If any one, can
give any information as to the
whereabouts of either, please notify
the registrar. x
We are six happy bashelors and
hope we always shall be. But by the
dates that Thompson is having =we-
don't see how we can be. '

noticeable about the ice and snow

This department believes that it
would be, of interest t,o know the

Mr. Garrett teaches Spanish.
When we say Spanish, we mean
Spanish only! The reference, of
course, is to Spanish 40la. Cor-

that he takes it voluntarily.
Why shouldn't we have a fresh-
man committee appointed to see

out??? (Ask Drerman what he does
with all his spare time. Be ready
to run, though!) -
Does any one'know why Major

gested that he was discarding sur-

buted the day. before. Just ask
the editor, the assistant business
manager, the exchange editor. \

More ball games like ..the one
against A. C, C. the last time. It
is great'to make a winning score
one time and to raise' it the next.
No wonder if all the Vidette non-
corns are'as good entertainers as
Warren, Shepperd and Gibson.
During the last two drill, periods
we have heard the official records
that go to show tjhei Central Pow-
ers yer'e not tjie only ;natioils that
distributed propaganda of hatted
during the World War.
When the tests start in Military
Science classes there will be weep-
ing and crashing of grade^ unless
—somebody gets busy and studies
the regulations. It is believed that
a higher standard of grading will
be sej and exact information will
be called for.

Fellows, we have lost the Ex-
cellent Banner for the past two
weeks, but we .must not lose that
competition drill. Are we going
to stand back andjlet 'other com-
panies, beat us? They don't stand
back and let us win without an
effort. Let's go into that "compe-
tition and drill as we have never
drilled before. We must 'net let
B Company go dowri in defeat, but
.we must keep the high standing
that has been ours in the past.
Get that B Company, spirit and
fight for dear old B Company.' We
can't lose that spirit now that it
has gone a long way toward mak-
ing B. Company a winning com-
pany. ,i , ■ .
Let's support our captain; he is
for B Company one hundred per:
cent.
Fellows, B Company is the best
company , out osi the field; let's

Six'Rules for Success
Mr. Feline says the .'following
six rules are a ladder for success:
1. Make your-plan in writing,*
2. Compare it with the methods
of most successful men,
3. Have it criticized in advance
by .those it affects, , , :
. 4. Put your plan in operation.
5. ^ee that the plan, is kept op?,
'erating,until it is revoked. -
6. Keep the plan open to revis-
ion, but do not -let it be ^'banged
except after the niost careful reas-
oning. ' ' Si
These rules were mgant to apply
to, tfep. business sww^ )9,wt/ii; ipay
■tf m.ade to rapplyto ^Irivo^t. ;any
phase of life. i
