Koom reservation* and ad^anoe inquir
les for information that have been
pouring into the Simmons University
office have already justified the pre-
parations which the school has been
putting forward to meet the demands
of the largest enrollment in its history
this fall. These advance indications
point toward a fall registration of ov-
er 1,000 and a total for the year ex-
ceeding 1,500.
Simmons authorities foresaw this in
crease before the close of last Springs
session, and began their plans which
would broaden the curriculum, impro-
ve the facilities and take care of the
largest and most varied demands for
university work.
Two new buildings are now nearing
completion which will help to relieve
the heretofore crowded conditions, a
new auditorium which will seat 1,000
people and a new cafeteria, which will
accomodate the whole university. The
auditorium is a temporary structure
to take care of the situation until the
new $300,000 chapel and administra-
tion building- is erected, in the future,
in the center of the campus. The pre-
sent chapel hall is good, practical fire
proof, brick structure, however, which
adequately meets the situation.
The cafeteria is also fireproof stru-
cture. An experienced New Orleans
cafeteria man has been secured to run
the eating house.
Other construction which is going
on and will be ready for the fall o-
pening is the remodeling of the old
auditorium in Abilene Hall into six
class rooms and the remodeling- of the
dining halls and kitchens in the wo-
men's dormitories into living quarters.
The teaching staff at Simmons has
been increased to take care of new
and larger demands. Professional
courses have especially been strength-
ened and expanded. The university
plans to meet the growing demands
for such work. Business Administra-
tion has been reorganized, the depart-
ment of Home Economics has been ex-
panded to cover every possible phase
of that work. A deparment of Jour-
nalism has been added to cover every
phase of newspaper work, both report
orial and editorial.
Students who desire work done out
of residence will have the service of
a. new department of Correspondence
and Extension at Simmons this year.
This department will be regulated and
all work done in it will be recognized
everywhere.
Simmons plans to keep tip her re
cord in extra-curricula activity. The
athletic situation is bright with a new-
reorganized coaching staff in charuc.
Frank Bridges, famous all over tin-
South is head coach and director, lli-
assistants, Leslie "Fats" Cranfill and
Charlie "Potts" Vnderson, two of Tex
as most promising young mentors will
have charge of football this fall wbilt
Bridges stays out a contract in Cal-
ifornia. Bridges will report in Jan-
uary, maintaining in the meantime a
direction over the university athletics.
In all other activities, the famous
Cowboy Band, the debating teams, tin
university publications, Simmons of-
fers the best of opportunities to her
students.
But these are not all that Simmer. ;
offers, In all her growth, the pioneer
school of West Texas has not abandon
ed its old democratic spirit of fellow-
ship. Simmons is still a school where
the instructors and the students are
close together, where personal con-
tacts are counted as dear aand valu-
able aas the hours in the class room.
Simmons seeks to build on the foun-
dation of religious faith and endeavor
upon which it was established and to
turn out the all-round man and wo-
man,- mental, physical, and spiritual.

Decline in Horses Increases Farm Surplus

'BOSSY" AND "BIDDY
thf: big farm cash
' head
parade!
"If he's got milk splashed on his
boots, make the loan!"
That was one form of country bank
ing "investigation" as to the ability
of a farmer to come through on a loan
not so many years ago in a certain J
community in the Northwest. In other
words, the banker knew his farmer
was "insured" against crop iailure
and would have a steady cash income
despite the whims of weather in the
way of frosts, winds, floods, drought
and hail. A herd of dairy eows
spreads the risk over seven years in-
stead of gambling a year's work and
sach outlay on one season's crops. For
that reason, says the Research De-
paartment of the National Associa-
tion of Farm Equipment Manufactur-
ers, it is not surprising to find dairy
and poultry products leading the cash
income of the U. S. farmer last year
with $3,754,000,000, more than two
and a half times the income from
grains, and nearly tli;re time- the in-
come from cotton.
N'ot only have both dairyim- and
poultry raising had a big expansion
since the war because of increased
production to meet increased demand
from consumers, but producers have
been able to |int this form of I'annit!!'
on a hotter busine.-s basis from tin-
start and increase income from unit
of stock than is the case with other
crops. The Cow Testing Association-
have provided an avenue for v. i din'
out losers and breeding up predic-
tion from the highest producers. !n
poultry, the trap nest does the -am.-
thing so that intelligent management
can work towards a continual in-
crease per unit. Also, the testing as
soeiation shows the way to better
feeding, higher quality product a-al
cost cutting by the introduction of

drinking cups, feed and lilt.-.-- csrriei .

People who complain that they re1,

be so well off if they did.

"I have known Cardul
for a long time," writes
Mrs. Hattle Bourk, of Jack-
sonville, Fla.,
"Recently, I used Cardul
for bad spells which came
on we .... I would e«t
very dizzy and would often
be out of my head for a
short space of time, from
sheer weakness.
"Having taken Cardul
before as a tonic, I began
to use It regularly. I Im-
proved at once. I kept on
tnklug It and do not know
how I should have got
through this time, without
It. I have been feeling
normal now for aom*
months."
