of nine million bales from form-
ed, The present price of cotton in
New Orleans is six and two-tenths
cents a pound. . TPhe price of retail
products is sixteen .cents.- Mr.
Spangler also showed charts show-
ing the production and prices of
cotton from 1890 to 1931.

■ There are still many men report-
ing without a cap for' drill. This
is a very small item but shows up
big when the Company is in line
one man came out in school uni-
form said he could not wear legr
gins ■ because he had a boil under
his arm. (A very good excuse.)
The band showed some improve-
ment, in marching but they don't
seem" to have the staying po^ver to
play over a period of time, just as
the last company was. passing the
reviewing stand they slowed dowii
to a mere whisper.
Somebody told Forest Bramlette
that' so & so's name was Minnio
Founds and . piked him to intro-
duce' himself. He ambled over and
said, "Hello Miss Minnie. Pounds,''
and did lie get it!! Oh, man! He
also said that he had seen a house
fly and a cat fish.
Ex-students Beck, Glover, and
Taegherman and Mary' Jo Neal
were noted on the campus this
week-end.
Aw rats!
Note. Fish Hall's raincoat.
Ask Fish Jones just how she in-
terprets' a certain phrase of the
college.
Was' Shafer griped when the
carpenters ripped out one wall in
his r'oom immediately after he had
spent an hour cleaning it up!
". Band man: The boys got out of
drill Jrfonday morning* but the band
didn't. A person: What's the dif
between the boys and the band?
Band man: Oh, the band is com-
posed of MEN.

■ ' Harkins -is arguing with Sam
Bass now, while Van is trying to
get along with Steve too,
: ' Sam %vas told to play his clari-
net .under water. ' 'It seemed he
tried to follow instructions for he
dropped it in his pan''of water he
was going to shave with.
Saturday evening turned out to
be a hectic evening. Someone start-
ed telling some past (true) experi-
ences that happened ; in high
school. Gibbs, Smith, Harkins, and
Bass gave some excellent talks.
Steve has been a changed man
the last few days.
"Sodie" is having one more time.
He had a letter from his girl. We
wonder how.it will all come out.
We would all like to know just
what was the matter with, "Bull
Bob the Mighty Gidden" ■■ Sunday
night, ' ^;
The little roommates: Woodard,
Glenny, Ross and Fish Watkins
have settled down and "begun to
study. These four men (?) have
become the most accomplished S.
A. era on the. caimpus, Did they
pool their ideas until they are per-
fect?
Did yon notice Sheik Reyrioliis
Monday? Did he look:collegiate in
his plus-fours? Well, he thought
so, anyway.
Did the Fort boys have , a good
time Saturday, Sunday, and Sun-
day night? Ask Otto, etcs.
The hoys who won the banners
for having the best rooms had to
buy new. hats this week-end. The
'winners are: first, Ratcliff and
Fish Reese; second, Fish Shafer
and Fish Lambert; third, Ross,
Glenny, Woodard, and Fish Wat-
kins.
Fish Kelly. and Reynolds are
very fond of Josephine. She has
been with- them only a few days
now.
It seems as if the lights in the
hall burn out quite frequently of
late. We wonder what happens to
them.
Did we cry because" drill was
called off Monday? Just another
hour1 spent in sleep by most of us.
What is all this about the Rho
Dammitt Rho fraternity which
seems to have a house on the earn
pus. It is rumored that Bull,
Reynolds, and Fish Kelly are vin*-
terested in it. We don't know
which is the Grand Whoozis or the
great Gobblin. t
Some windows have been chang-
ed in1 the Fort as the ■ reception
room is one more step toward com-
pletion.
The Colonel drawing, Bond sell-
ing papers, Ratcliff in the candy
business, Rosa getting tailor work,
Race Horse collecting, Bull on a
tear, Brewster studying, the Major
trying to keep order, Blackwell eat-
ing, Haynes looking for a fresh-
man, Arnold playing on a sax,
Lambert out with the ladies, Shaf-
er cleaning up his room,. Josephine
on the bottom bunk, Greene dream-
ing of the women, Pondrom getting
back from a trip, Elam playing the
portable, and Townsend. with his
bugle are the Fort men ,with some-
thing to do.
A CO-ED'S
LETTERS
BACK HOME
Dear Jack, ,
Shall I begin with that now trite
expression, "I am sorry to have
waited so long to write?" Anyway,
I am very sorry I did riot find the
time or the mood to write last
week. It has been one continual
hurry, and I have done nothing, it
seems, but answer "At Once"
cards; studying is a mere side is-
sue compared with the rest of it.
Oh yes, we have a new chaperon,
sweet as she can he. .We all like
her. I doubt her love for us tho',
believe me! .Mary Hart, Margaret
Pipes, and Lucille Finley would try
the soul of 'most any chaperon.
They're a bunch of monkeys and
twice that much fun. I don't
know what our hall would do if it
were not for them to keep things
going. No one ever has time to
feel blue, (or to study for that
matter.)
1931 will soon .be over, and I'll
be glad! It has been some year—
on the whole, the worse one I can
remember. I think everybody will
be glad to erase mistakes and start
with clean slates..
I spent the week-end out in
town. It was nice to sit down in
front of a big fire and not have
anyone blink lights or ring bells
—or to have Temple run through
barefooted, looking for Billy- Ross
and Shoe!—Yours as. ever, Tee.

THE MORNING DEW
O, gleaming and glistening and
sparkling in delight
On the fresh' and dewy grasses,
Are silvery dewdrops, in the
morning light; ,
Glimmering like jewels on
beautiful lasses.
On ' cach green blade of grass
they hold ■- >
Like silvery pearis frozen cold,
And like fairies in- happy and
jovial mood ' : . ' ■
They shine and laugh in solitude.
From heaven they descended, as
from a cluster,
In gaudy' dresses of transparent
luster.
And. settled on trees, on leaves,
and flowers,
And sweetened and . kissed the
morning hours.
They glowed and sparkled like
some brilliant light,
And so greeted the luminous
, golden sun,
Then quivered and trembled at
its very sight,
And hesitatingly danced and
" pranced away, one by one.
Away—as in rainbow colors true
They ascend, as vapors, into the
blue.
But in the moonlight glow,
behold!
The vapors descend again as
transient silvery dew,
And sparkle like diamonds, like
pearls, like silver and gold,
And cling merrily on to every-
thing, and cheerfully wait to
start the day anew.
—Ernest Arfken.
