Thrift is not a hardship. It is a
habit Got the habit by buying Thrift
and War Savings Stamps every pay
day.
When you save first and spend after-
wards you trade something you will
never miss for something you are sure
to want. Buy WSS.
What are you worth to yourself?
War Saving Stamps help you find the
correct answer.
If you 'lose your Job your War Sav-
ings Stamps will work for you.
Put the War Savings Stamp Bkid
chains of Thrift on your car in prepa-
ration for a rainy day.
A rolling stone gathers no moss but
War Savings Stamps accumulate good
interest
Before selling your Liberty Bonds or
War Savings Stamps consult your
banker.
Every kid thinks he knows more
than bis old man. If ho saves his coin
and his "old man" does not ho has
proved it. Buy WSS.
Cannot set your boy up in business
at 21? Then teach him now to buy
Thrift Stamps.
The wildcat stock promoter lives
'in a better house than you do. If he
induces you to part with your Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps for
his paper promises you aro paying for
his house. 'Help put him in the only
house suitable for him the poor house-
Buy WSS.
You never mlBs the water till the
well runs dry. A financial drouth will
nover come if you keep on buying
War Savings Stamps.
HOW TO LIVE.
A young man once went to Phillips
BrookB tho great preacher. Ho said:
"Tell me how to live a life original
and great"' and- Mr. Brooks said:
"Stand In the sun light and cast a
shadow." Tho young man pondered
to himself and reasoned thus; "If I
cast a shadow then I do something.
I produce. There is no shape .like my
shape. When I cast a shadow I am
doing an original thing." Then he
reasoned: "It is also a great thing for
it is always great to bo original."
The minister's philosophy of living
can be very timely applied to tho
faculty and old students concerning
tho life of our own college at the pres-
ent time. So many aro asking: "Why
Is everything so dead? Where is the
old Simmons spirit?" May we realize
that wo are passing this way once for
all time therefore let's shako loose
from the bonds of doing "nothing" and
take a stand In the sunlight of Sim-
mons loyalty of Simmons' pep and
cast a shadow that tho weary and
home.slck students will rejoice in and
will come back next year and take
refuge In tho shadow of a great col-
lege In a Western land.
Brain will put you on top character
will keep you there.
It's seldom safe to Judge a man by
his own opinion of himself
TENNIS.
Shall we havo a Fall tennis tourna-
ment? Tennis tournaments horoto-
foro have promoted inter-class spirit.
With representatives of each class
striving to win honor in tho tourna-
ment class spirit is glvon a strong
impetus. Class spirit is at tho foun-
dation of college 'spirit and by promot-
ing class spirit collogo spirit Is pro-
moted in largo measure
The strongest reason for a tourna-
ment Is that it is a great weeding
out process by which it is posslblo to
select representatives for Simmons in
the intercollegiate tennis games that
will bo played next Spring.
If thero is to bo a Fall interclass ten-
nis tournament it is necessary to bo-
gin talking it up at once. Three splen-
did clay tennis courts are being made
in tho center of the campus and by
the timo they are complotcd a tourna-
ment might commence. It remains for
tlioso who like tho gamo to speak out
and a tournament will bo forthcoming.
C. E. N.
Many a lad is "sitting on the world"
whon the world slips from under him.
Hang on to your seats with War Sav-
ings Stamps. They stick.
Every spendthrift intends to savo
when he is broke. The timo to savo
is when you havo tho money. Buy
WSS.
A dollar does not look any bigger on
pay day than Walter Johnson's fast
ball but the day before pay day it is
an nxe handle and n half across. Save
when you won't miss the monew Buy
WSS.
Nobody has to bo a tight wad to
save. Time Is tuo essence of that con.
tract. Do it when you havo tho money.
Buy WSS.
You work for your dollars. Make
your dollars work for you. Buy WSS.
Your War Savings Stamps will
prove good medicine if ilness comes.
Tho first $100 comes hardest. Tho
first Thrift Stamp is the best invest-
ment. An efficient dollar is one invested in
War Savings StampB. Wake up and
buy WSS.
If you buy so you got a dollar's
worth of value for every dollar you
can spend more. If you treat what
you buy as if it had the same value
ub money you do not have to spend so
much. Buy WSS.
Don't risk dependence. Buy War
Savings Stamps now.
Your youngster is entitled to a bet-
ter education than you had. Start him
off on one by splitting off a part of
tho pay check and buying War Savings
Stamps.
Thrift takes you up the ladder
waste brings you down. Buy War
Savings Stamps.
Andy Urban says that tho reason
pneumatic troughs are called such is
because they leak water through tho
spout onto a fell0w's feet and give
him pneumonia.
Scott Johnson would butt into the
Devil though that personage wore his
Sunday silk top and patents.
Dr. Olson would now have us be
lieve that no man ever waB blown
into atoms but possibly may bo blown
Into molocules. Why does ho want to
change the station since it does not
materially benefit the unfortunate
victim?
. Richard Hittson says that ho knqws
something. See Dick for furthor en-
lightenment. To say tho least about the over-
crowding In Simmons It is mighty
hard on Dammit for when two or
three grown boys sleep in one bed
there Is not much r0om left for a fat
old dog.

Simmons has a mathematical pro-
digy in the shape of a spectacled Fish
who is said to have worked problems
in math that ho had -never been sub
jected to. Advice to tho student body
is to mako friends with the fellow.
Oho of the Fiah "blowed around"
about being born In a flivver going
ninety miles an hour and "by gig-
gers ho has nearly proyed it" says
one of the reproving upper classmen.
"A whole lot of do talk dat goes
'round' says Uncle Ebon "ain't no
mo' real help in tnovln' forward dan
do squeak ob an axle."
A fast night makes a slow day.
FORMER .STUDENT MARRIE8.
Tlioso who know him whilo hero

Mrs. Georgo H. Smith and a popular
freshman in Simmons during tho win-
ter torm of '17-18 was married to

Eighth Street Thursday at 3 o'clock
when their daughter Miss Maurlno

qulsito afternoon gowns Miss Coulson

Preceding tho brldo was tho flower
girl little MIsb Elizabeth Doss wear-
ing -a. dninty frock of white georgette
and carrying a basket of pink rose

The brldo advanced to the altar
upon the arm of tho bridegroom. She
wore her traveling suit of taupe pan
velvet with charming hat and acces-
sories In harmony. She carried a
corsago bouquet of pink roses and
ferns tied with pink tullo and nover
did she seem more lovely or lovablo
than on this occasion. "Thero is noth-
ing so sweet as a maid is sweet on
tho day she becomes a bride."'
The "Spring Song"' was softly play-
ed during tho ceremony and tho Men-
delssohn Wedding Marchw hllo con-
gratulations were being offered at tho
close of tho service.
Miss Maurlno is the only child of
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Weeks and pos-
sesses youth beauty and added to this
charming personality.
Tho groom was indeed handsome In
his traveling suit. Ho is the only
son of Mr. R. T. Williams Is quite pop-
ular and exemplary character having
made his home in this city since early
childhood. He numbers his frlonds
by tho score.
A reception was hold immediately
after tho ceremony during which in-
terest centered around tho cutting of
the bride's cake a large horseshoe de-
sign -which was placed in the center

afternoon train for points east and

and useful gifts.
A Methodist exhorter shouted
"Como on and Join tho army of tho
Lord."
'U'so done Jlned" replied o"o of tho
congregation
"Whar'd you JIno?" asked tho ex-
horter. "In do Baptist church."
"Why chllo" said tho exhorter
"you ain't In do army; yob's in do
navy."
Thero Is no parting so bitter as tho
parting of a quinine capsule Just as
you are lnitho act of swallowing it.
The head of tho housq is not always
tho brains.
Every timo you see somobody with
a melancholic map operate your gloom
chasing smilo.
