LOU , WINS. MORE HONORS ,
FOR COLLEGE DAIRY HERD
September was the second conse-
cutive month that Cid's Combina-
tion Lou 816673, a purebred seniof
three-year-old Jersey cow owned by
John Tarleton Agricultural Col-
lege, produced more butterfat than
any other Jersey of her age in the
United States. Of the 429 cows of
all, ages . in 169 herds that made
the September American Jersey
Cattle Club'Honor Roll, Lou was
fifth with 76.91 pounds of butter-
fat. She led her age class by over
eleven pou,nds, and was the high-
est butterfat producer in the state
for that month. This young cow
already holds the senior two-year-
old state class championship with'
686.9 pounds of butterfat in 365
days.
Marie's Combination Lass 866-
905, a yearling in the college herd,
was third in her clastf for the en-
tire United States with 57.34
pounds of butterfat. Her dam has
just qualified for her seeond silver
medal and a gold medal and her
granddam is a gold and silver med-
al state class champion cow.

The Seniors Have to Have Thai Same
Do or Die Spirit to Read Les Miserables
Oh, there is no doubt tut that
"Les Miserables" is rightly named.
However, the title fits not only
the classes of people Hugo wrote
about; but the last two months,
no title could better fit tKe classes
for which the book was written.
There is a motto "Slow but sure"
which every one in the senior Eng-
lish-elasses has been following. One
must be sure; and in order to be
sure, he necessarily must be slow,
hence an explanation of everyone's
excuse^ for .keeping the book out
so long.
In spite -of the fact that the
seniors are required to read "Les
Miserables" for credit, there are
very few who are not enjoying the
book immensely. Some have even
brought copies that they might
have the book >as a part of their
' ^ F
libraries.

PERSONALS
AND OBSERVATIONS
AGG. APARTMENT NEWS
,The Agg boys walk around like
they were old men. We must not
contribute their actions to their
age, but to the games of pass foot-
ball that were played north of the
Fort during the weekend, Missis-
sippi and Hearn even played with,
the little boys on the football field
Sunday afternoon.
The Fort boys seem to resent be-
ing called, out to "chow" twenty
minutes early. Gregory will have
to have Fish blow some other, call
to wake him up. The colonel does
not think that it is the right thing
to blow the bugle in the morning.
Fish.seemed to. have been flus-
tratedas he left the Dump last Sat-
urday night. At least he got the
wrong cap as he left. He was
probably in a big hurry arid did not
take time to pick out the right cap.
Hot water at the Agg Building
all hours of the day! We wish to
thank Y'aughan for installing the.
hot water heater. Dale is the
handy irian around here. The wash
basin sure does help out for such
things as shaving. Our building is
getting to seem almost like home.
B.,'D. seems to enjoy .laughing in
church; however, it is all at Jame-
son's expense. Ask Lester' what
Blanton was. laughing about—he
won't tell you.
Hearn and Jameson shook hands
and solemnly swore not to S. A.
again, and the next night Hearn
S. A. ed at usual.
We wonder if Vaughan has car-
ried any more mail since the holi-
days ? -
Ask Gregory who the letter was
from that he received during the
holidays. Gregory seemed to be
all "pepped up" over the incident
—something too much of this—i.
Agg Reporter.
