Suppose you are a hard worker; you work diligently; you
strive until finally you reach that esteemed position for which
: your ambition was set, 1 When you have reached such a pinnacle
in your progress, there is one important thing to strive to up-
hold. That thing can be,summed up in a* motto which is well
worth remembering- .It would be well, to write ft down £inc!
' loot at it often. ' The motto is, "Tis Better to Retain than Ofc*-
taiu," which means—if. you are rewarded by your persistent ef-
forts,; jt is better to Jceep up, the good work- and be rewarded
again than fall behind and not be'rewarded. An 'example of
this would be getting on the honor roll at„ Tarleton and staying

Man claims to be a civilized aniinal, .but a person judging by
the conduct '.of spme cadets' at the ball games last week would
probably have his doubts about the truth of the above statement.
Why not. pay a little attention to the yell "leader. '^Vhat dp

he .-gay#, "hush," .shut up. ^ygjl for the opposing team

A Band Column
. The band claims ' that It did its
part in winning the two games last
week by furnishing the music, ';
"We hear that B Company is claim-
ing to have had the largest number
of members, at the games. Very well
and good, bill) who do you tlynk had
the biggest percentage? Who could
have but the Band? We may be
small in numbers, but we are always
there in percentages, '
Various aid sundry members of
: the'band have been ''showing1 off "
at the game's. Other ^section leaders
envied Beck his popularity on ac-
count,of his solos,.so the^ decided to
give- him ^some'^competition. Snively,
. .Baldridge, Finch, Bromwell, and
Briggs--have made their initial ap-
pearance to. date. John Frey threat-
ens to > add, his name to the list at
the; next gaino. Knowles and Norman
are about, persuaded to appear in
the future. .Soon we. hope to present
a ntynber with a member from every
section playing a solo, . Tliey're all
different, too.
well Remarked on ore of the -cold
mornings'a few days ago.-that he
could ^o out on the field and recruit
forty men. for the B.aad. We say that
every man out ..there ■ would join the
Band! if he possibly -could.
Meador' and;' Busbee got their
horns back from the factory last
week.. It was almost impossible to;
tell whether they were, made from
diamonds or mirrors. They certainly
looked '1 swell.'' i Several bandmen
were heard to declare iif favor" of in-
juring their horns.
J' ■
A new member has joined ua. He,
is James Gaines, from Dublin. He
plays the cornet. He'came in after
the holidays. He seems satisfied with
our organization, and we are very
glad to have him. '

On Saturday night, January 11,
the d. W. L. S. banquet was' held
at the home; of Mrs. John Cage.
The house was beautifully decora-
ted with calendulas, fern, amf ean-
dies. The favors, -nut 'cups, and
mint baskets further carried out
the 'color scheme of orange and
black. Fred and his "little brother
kept fairly hot on* the "piano, and
drums throughout the evening.

they don't feel any more impgirt.apt
than the rest of us; as w;e are very,
popular. It is ' nothing unusual for

We are studying very hard and,

TheCare ofArms and
1... .In the training that we get here
we are hot burdened with a large
an^ount of equipment. In fact,
about all ah enlisted man has to
take care of is his rifle, belt, and
bayonet. ' These articles are left;,
to the care of th^ individual sol-
4i^r.. ' ... "' t
:,Doe^ the surgeon, the dentist,
the machinist, or any skilled work-
man keep his tools or instruments
gummed up or rusty.? Does a good
or i even an average "soldier allow
his'equipment to stay in bad condi-
tion? He does not! From the
earliest times warriors have oi nec-
essity kept their armor and arma-,
ment bright and serviceable if very
much was accomplished. During
times of war, the comfort and safe-
ty of every man depends on his own
as well as his comrades' equipment;
The belt should be clean at all
times. The cleaning of a. belt is
easy enough if it is done as fol-
laws: (IT' Take emery cloth or
Sand pa{Jer and cut the enamell off'
the brass parts if the belt is. a new
one. (2). The: brass, should , be
shin'ed with a cleaner or pol-
ish such as "Blitz.',' A:,- piece of
card board, should be cut to fit the
various 'parts1-in order to prevent
metal- tarnisli froni staining the
webbing. (3), The dirt and dust
/should be brushed , out'; soap and
water and vigorous scrubbing
should be used freely. (4) . After
drying, the cloth should have a lib-
eral application of web IfBlanco"
which is a sort-' of dyestuff. The
."Blanco" Itself is also applied with
water and allowed to dry slowly in
the shade. ' t
The technique of cleaning a rifle
after shooting will not be dealt
with here as it can be had in com-
plete form in the -Training Regu-
lations.- The main thing is to keep
the bore free from moisture; dirt,
and . tlie fouling caused by , the
■^sweating'' of the metal. Of course
the rifles, are not supposed to be
left entirely-,'alone after getting
wet. Occasionally1 it is necessary,
to be out in the rain with a rifle;
but if the weapon is kept We'll oiled,
it- will not suffer to any great , ex-
tent from the weather. After the
bore has once been cleaned by run-
ning first an oily patch and then
a drV patch through it, it should
be left with a thjn coating of sperm

Here and There
Who likes cold weather?
There is a rumor^tbat seyeral of
our dignified professors took a few
tumbles last week. .
The various companies are1 all
stirred up about the competition.
Somebody painted a lot of Com-
pany "A" signs around on the
campus; a few nights ago. They
oven lined off a place for tlje com-
pany to fall in and oilt oh the mili-
tary drive. ,. ; 1 ^
the bolt, floor plate,, front , sight
coyer, the slingi pid. the oiler if it
is so equipped. ■ Any further ■■ dis-
sembling should.. be' ,lel!t to Sgt.
Buschman- The outside of the ser
vice rifle should be rubbed (that is
t.he metal parts); with an oily rag
and then with a clean, dry one.
The stock/ may! be finished ;, with
either linseed oil or sperm oil. The
small gooyes and Recesses ab'out
the mechanism mfy b& cleaned eas-
ier with' a small inrush than with
a ragj or a piece of waste.
The bayonet can be cleaned in
about the same way as the outside
of the rifle. The blade should be
kept free from lents and: gaps
About the best way to do this is to
refrain, front throwing it at doors,'
walls, pavements^ and tin cans. The
edge need not be sharpened be-
cause a sharp one is nQt altogether
a safe plaything in the hands of
an amateur, A burnishing mach-
ine will, probably be a part of the
equipment in the Armory some day
which will make the blades almost
ag bright as nickel.

the competition is coming off to-

has that old, "spirit." They have
not lost' a coihpetition in years.
"C" Company is young. We may
say that we are only two years
did. We have no tradition behind
us: Why not start,,pne? It would
be a fine thing for, the freshmen 'of
"C" rCompany to tell the, freshmen
of. next year that "C" Company
won the competition in 1930.
Next Friday when you march
out , on the field, brace up, get that
"old snap" and let's win. Forget
all personal feelings and fight for
the Company. Listen for the com-
mands ajid obey them promptly.
Remember' that' everything you do
ingoing to be seen, Do not let any
personal, feelings of your 'own ihr
terfere :with the ^company. You
are. one clog of ai machine. A very
necessary one at that; and. if _you
<iuit, the machine/will quit.; Even
if you do inoi; care fo.r "B') Com--

remember that the man drilling be-

^ Student Opinidn
. In any civilized country or state
it is necessary to have a system, pf
laWs, which must be, enforced for
the good of the whole. Laws are
necessary in any place; therefore
we haye laws; that is, rules' and
regulations in college. These rules'
and regulations have been, studied
out and established byi, groups of
well informed and- capable, per-
sons who know what is best for
the ,whole. ; These laws should be
obeyed. - i, ■ .
If we haVe laws, We must have
someone to see that they are not
violated; therefore we have, a staff
of .cadet officers to enforce the
rules and regulations. - If you can
not obey the rulesi and reflations
of a college, you have no business
attending it. It is the duty of the
officers to- see that all laws are
kept. If you get "stuck," it is
your own fault, A person must
and should always do his duty;
therefore do not get sore if you
are caught violating th£ rules and
regulations.' ' '
