MR. HALE SPEAKS TO BOYS
ON SIX GREAT STATESMEN
Mr. Hale gave, an interesting talk
in boys' 'chapel last Tuesday on
six United States ' Statesmen who
were most effective in. establishing
the Constitution and carrying for-
ward its sequence.
The first statesman . was . Ben-
jamin Franklin, who was associat-
ed with the preparation of the Con-
stitution. In /every great enter-
prise there must be a leader. Most
of these leaders are dreamers, ac-
cording to Mr, Hale, men who have
the ability to look ahead and plan.
Franklin was one of these men. He
had a great dream and passed it
on to his fellowmeri; so we give
Franklin the honor of having pre-
pared the Constitution.
■ Next was George Washington,
the father of his country. And we
give to this great statesman the

Fort Frolics
Why, we would like to know, is
Fish P-p-pfluger so, worried about
a certain girl who' called htui from
the dump the other night?
Fish Elam ha3'the S, A. so; bad-
ly that he can hiWly. ' sleep. This
week-end' hi8—■|-~rwent' home, and
was he blue? We'll say he was. 1
The Fort is giving a party real,
soon. Everyone seems to be plan-
ning for a good time. ■
The Fort1 men who were out of
the, Fort last week-end were: Fish
Lambert, Fish Shafer, Fish Guy
Blackwell; Bull BobGidden, Candy
John Ratcliff, Fish Everett Black-
well, Fish Jameson, and Fish
Pfluger, (commonly called Puff-
looger.) • '.
Who is the guy. who puts pea-
nuts in the beds?
Fish "Ego" Kelly said that he
had plenty to eat Sunday. Bis
mother and father were up to see
him. 1
Fish Jameson (Race Rorse Tat-
um) and Fish Puff-Luger went to
the State Fair. Did we miss them ?
We'll say we did.
Arnold hopes to be a lawyer
some day. He's certainly good on
aruging in defense of Gatesville
now. ■
Pondrom and Green are still liv-
ing happily together.
With whom did "Killer" Wat-
kins have a date recently?
:The Fort was honored with a
short visit by the Mighty Sansing
Sunday night.
Otto, "Peanut Vender" of yore,
is not the peanut vender now. He
sold hi,s stock in trade to Rateliff
and Reese, Unincorporated,
Bond's war cry: ''Morning, Eve-
ning, and Sun-daaay."
We wonder why Brewster wasn't
to be found in the Fort Sunday?
: 'Tis said that the Fort is rep-
resented in a new "Corpulation,"
founded by Wm. Sansing, Esq. The
Fort' boys, : Fishes : Watkins and
Kelly, Major Woodard, and Fish
Elam, together with Wild Bill and
his room-mate, cleaned up a near
fortune Sunday night. They sold
suckers in the Dump and also de-
livered sandwiches from town to
the Dump',
Ross ate breakfast in town Sun-
day. How does he rate it?
We certainly missed Bull Bob
Gidden this week-end. But we know
someone was glad to see him in
Venus again.
Major Woodard was interrupted
in a conversation over the telephone
by a gang of low life slimes, yell-
ing, "Major's got the S. A., Major's
got the S. A."

ring around a Scotchman's bath tub

credit of having created the Con-
stitution. Franklin dreamed of a
set of laws for governing the peo-
ple and Washington formulated the
plan. Third among these govern-
mental pioneers was Alexander
Hamilton. After the Constitution
had been prepared and created, it
needed ratification and Hamilton
came to the rescue with his bril-
liant powers of argumentation and
ratified it.
The Constitution had now been
prepared, created 1 and ratified.
Many people did not fully under-
stand just'what it meant, so John
Marshall, the scholar, undertook
to give a simple and specific in-
terpretation of the document.
But the Constitution needed more
than an interpretation—it needed
an exposition, or explanation, in
order that the people might not
only understand the phraseology,
or the grammatical construction of
what. they were about1 to accept,
bu£ to thoroughly comprehend just
what would be expected of them
when they had endorsed the paper.
Daniel, Webster was 3, leading ex-
ponent in thig step; that is;.the ex-
position of . the Constitution. No^'
there .was one thing that remain^
ed to be done to. .make the Con-?
stitution' effective and Everlasting
—the- preservation of,the Constituj
tion. Everyone is familiar with
Abraham Lincoln's part in the Civil
War, st>: suffice. it to say that Lin-
coln is, thought of in connection
with- the .presexvat^bji^ of:'the CorU
stitution.
An Essay On Men
Men are. what women marry.
They have two feet, two hands, and
sometimes two wives, but never
more than one idea at a time.
Like Turkish cigarettes, men are
all made alike, the only difference
being: Some are more disguised
and better distinguished than oth-
ers. Generally speaking, they are
divided into three classes: hus-
bands, bachelors, and widowers. An
eligible bachelor is a mass of ob-
stinacy entirely surrounded by sus-
picion. Husbands are of three va-
rieties: Prizes, surprises, ana con-
solation prizes, i'
Making a husband out of a man
is one of the,highest plastic arts
known to civilization. . It requires
science, sculpture, common sense,
faith, hope, and charity—especial-
ly. ,
If yo,U flatter a man, you fright-
en him to death, and if you don't,
you bore him to death. If you per-
mit him to make love to you, he
gets tired in. the end, and if you
don't he gets tired in the begin-
ning.
If you agree with him in every-
thing, you soon cease to interest
him, and if you argue with him,
you soon cease to charm him. If
you believe him in all he tells you,
he thinks you are a. fool, and if
you doubt him, he thinks you are
a cynic.
If you wear gay colors and rouge
and a startling hat, he hesitates to
take you out, and if you wear a lit-
tle brown toque and a tailor-made
outfit, he takes you out and stares
all evening at'a woman in gay col-
ors, rouge and a' startling hat.
If you join him in his smoking,
drinking and other gaieties, and ap-
prove of his swearing^ he swears
you are driving him to the devil,
and if you don't approve of his
smoking, drinking, swearing and
other gaieties, and urge him to give
them up, he just swears you are
trying to reform him.
If you are the "Clinging-Vine"
type, he doubts if you have a brain,
and if you are a modern, indepen-
dent and advanced' woman, he
doubts if .you'have a heart. If you
are silly, he longs for a bright mate
and if you are intellectual, he longs
for a playmate. If you are popular
with other men, he is jealous; and
if you are not, he hesitates to mar-,
ry a wall-flower.
Gosh, men are funny, anyhow!!!

Old Dump News
Station PEP now on the ^ir:
It seems that Jimmie.Townsend
and Edwina Williams have been
seeing each other rather frequent-
ly lately. Looks bad to -us."
EmmE&.V, certainly v(as being
rushed Sunday night. Every time
the phone rang, someone would be
calling Emma V. Coalson. Wonder
who wanted her so badly?.
Elizabeth Alridge was all in
thrills last night. Her boy friend
from South Texas called her over
long distance,
Kathleen Brazil has been making
too many trips to Hamilton, it
seems. It can't be to ' see old
friends.
Mamie Cates says that she, went
to Hamilton this week-end, but
that she wasn't back yet in spirit.
Guess she lost her spirit.
Hattie Stanford had planned to
go to the old home-town, but it
seems as though it were all blown
up in the end.
Bertha Ann Grabin seems to be
the one Glenny is giving the grand
rush this week. Watch your step,
Bertha!!
Ruth Risinger can't stay in dear
ol' John's institute for one week-
end. She has . interest at home.
Evelyn Kinchen is arreal fresh-
man. She has a way with those
aforementioned upperclassmen!, She
makes them step, instead of them
making her. step. ......
. Ruby Jo. Wise is, an. ideal,room-
mate. She looks after Jimmie while
Edwina is away... .
Fant's Fantasies
. With a little practice and atten-
tion Steve could make a reput? .
tion as a narrator. We found this
out Sunday 'from the way Steve
related a detailed true experience.
Welsh' couldn't stand the sus-
pense any longer from the many
letters he had been rating so he
went to Grandview to see his
"mother." It proved quite a' costly
trip for "Pest." Ask him what hap-
pened in Burleson.
Major Sanders, Steve,'Bass,.and
Kelly went on'a little excursion
Sunday afternoon. Many were the
aches and moans Monday morning,
when the explorers awoke to try
to make drill. -i : . ,,
Sanders is improving . on. his
method of saber drill. Steve doesn't
think much of the newly ■ acquired
ability though, . . 1
The saying, "experience .is a dear
teacher," means more to Sherrod
Smith than one would think. Sher-
rod wrote two letters to certain
parties and the stamps stuck to-
gether. As fate would have it both
letters went to the same girl, or
should we say party.
Venable and Smith are offering
free chiropractic treatment to-all
comers. We call it the Raven treat-
ment. Never again. (Apologies to
Poe.)
We lost three more enterprising
young cadets last weelj. Shurtleff,
Fuller, and Cornett moved their
luggage closer to the campus.
Jim . Venable contributed many
works of art to Sanders'. Gallery
ihe other night.. 1 '
Jim returned. Monday afternoon
from a sojourn in other parts of
Texas. Some tour. Ask Jim.
An affidavit has been, drawn up
by. three reforming cadets. Won-
der how long it will last ? ,
Godwin got the breaks Sunday
afternoon when his "mother" came
up and took him riding. We may.
lose the "mighty" from among our
midst.
Smith, is still going visiting ev-
ery Sunday afternoon. He must be
progressing O. K. '
Van and Wood are still trying to
conquer mysteries of verbs. Luck
to them.
Harkins had . hard luck with his
''Chewy." Someone removed 'a few
of the. necessities from it during
the night that it was parked out-
side the house.
The Saturday night show proved
disastrous to Sam Bass so to havfr
decided to watch him closer on the
coming Saturday night. :
Since "Fish" Conerly left he can't
seem to recognize his friends. We
wonder if he can wear a cap to
drill after so many co-eds have been
talking to him at the Varsity.
1 Fish Hall still vows he will nev-
er learn to hold a pivot.
Brewster—."How did he do that?"'
Gidden—"He wouldn't let me
marry his daughter." .
Agg Apartment News
M . "" r". ' . . 'L.r :
For the benefit of those who db
not know'.that the Agg Building ia •
used'for other purpos.es than .'as a ,
place to teach students to milk,
cows, and to feed pigs, we take this
opportunity to annaunce 'atid . de-
scribe some. of the peculiarities of '
the inhabitants therein. ■ f. ,/■' ■ '
B. D. Blanton, .the civilian, lias
undisputed control of the second ;
floor of our happy .home: We ap- .
preciate the parental care that Mr.1
Blanton has, shown on all occas-
ions. He hails from the fair, city,-
of Dublin, Texas/ (Not Ireland.)' He
was'' qi^ite ^enthusiastic 'over tile '
game Saturday for more than one ■
reason-. .We think-that an ex-stu- ■
dent from Tolar had something to
do with it. .
In room three, with Mr. Blanton,
we have Parker Woodul, our. belov- ;
ed Regimental Sergeant Major, who
is making himself popular by^ send-
ing, out little blue calling cards.
Does he get his man? .We'll say
he doe?. .
We are' honored by having in our ■
midst a Jimmie Rogers the second.
This person is well known over the
campus as Mississippi Gregory.
Freshmen, do not, make the .misj- '
take of calling him Fish. Gregory,!
because . i, . well . . ■ ■ '
Mr. Gregory has for his room-
mate Mr. Dale Vaughn, that hand-
some cadet from Hamlin, Texds.
Mr. Vaughn i<? quite noted for his
S, A.-ing abilities, although few
people are aware of this fact, |?e
ware, Co-eds, for Dale has a ppr-
suasive line.
Lester Jameson, the boy from
Floydada, feels assured that is
so important, that he should Pc-
eupy a room all toVhimself. He' is 1
so selfish in his modes of living
that he has been granted a special
permit to.live in a desolate, almost
isolated regiori' of the A.gg Apart- ■
ments. Mr. 'Jameson states how-
ever, that he is quite content to .
live by himself,. The rest of us are
in deep sympathy with him.
■ Can- the Agg , boys yell; ''Yea
Plowboys," in the early. morning ?
Ask the Fort boys how'they likp to '■
be awakened oii. such occasions.

Did'ja Ever ... ?
Did'ja ever pine and sigh
For your best girl?
And did'ja'ever sit and dream
All about her? . r-
And then did'ja ever 'decide (
That to break the monotony
You'd go away for the week-end,
And then come back to find
That |she had called you on. Sat-
urday night ; '
To, tell you how much she loved
. you,-
And, you weren't there to get it?
Did'ja ever ? Huh ? .
Well, Bob Blair did.
