dreds of men rio one offered assistance
this is however a characteristic of an oil
town where everybody is for himself. Get-
ting thru these three blocks a good road
awaited them tho remainder of the way
to Rising Star.. Arriving there shortly af
ter two o'clock the boosters were given a!
real treat. The Band and a few others
wefe sent Jo tho Hotel on the Southside
of town while the remainder of the boost-
ers lunched at the Majestic Hotel on the
North. The Rising Star Chamber of Com-
merce was on the job. All visitors were
cordially welcomed and welcome cards
were pinned on the visitors. Many who
had eaten at Cross Plains decided they
could eat again. '
The Band again led the parade from the
Majestic Hotel into the city. Apparently
the whole town gathered ronnd and heard
the music. In boosting for Abilene "The
College" received its share in the advertis-
ing scheme. At all the stops old Simmons
students and supporters were found. Such
expressions as "Hurrah for Simmons Col
lege I was there IS years ago" were heard

students against the wiles of the devil)
"Now young ladles and gentlemen let
Us take; a look at the devil."
Here he paused dramatically and all
eyes were turned on him.
JAZZ A MOkAL POISON
"The fact might as well be faced in the
beginning 'jazz dance music is fallen
music:. Fallen to a depth so low that it
does not recognize the shame of its pan-
dering to physical passion
"And our children arc growing Up In its
atmosphere feeding their little souls with
a musical moral poison. When they come
to their teens the effect of this poison leads
them to Indulge in the "smart" animal
dances and they become littlo sensualists
at tho ery time When with the proper di-
rection they would be Idealists.
"The time has come when his Satanic
majesty must be ousted from the dance
floor where he has seemed recently to
have had an undisputel reign."
Commenting on tho article by Mrs. Map
tha Lee. from which tho above is taken
which appeared recently in its magazine
columns the Fort Worth Record made
the following timely comment:
"The Country Is Arousing to Put Down
the Menace of &.
"From the yesterdays of our forefathers
arises the: spirit of clean living and decency.
It lias been called forth by tho flagrancy
of the jazz Imp which has laid its Con-
taminating hand upon the social customs'
of America.
'The Pilgrim spirit of the nation's
founders arises to clear the taint of ani-
malism from American life to make way
for a revival of idealism.
"Matrons clergymen dancing masters
send out the cry that jazz is striking at
the heart of America. They cry out for the
abolishment of the corruntlon which has
intruded in the playground of American'
youth.
"Talk of police 'supervision and regula-
tion of the dance Is ample evidence that
the public is awakening to the fact that
the spirit of jazz is a menace.
"In the next issue of this magazine will
appear an article which has to do with tho
influence of jazz upon the clothes of our
Women."
We have often wondered why Dr Baker
never married. At last we have found
the solution. He hasn't enough hair for
a woman to pull therefore they won't any
of them hate him.
At first it was a mystery but it isn't
any longer. The reason Miss Funk be-
came librarian is because there are so
many good looking men who use the library.
Mr. Ballard certainly has funny dreams.
He dreamed it was thundering and raining
the other night when the 'Toly Hall boys"
showered him with the Toly Hall orches-1
tra and a barrel of tin cans.
When the English tongue we spctk

We saw "sew" but likewise "few";

Cannot cap tits "horse" with "worse"?
"Beard" sounds not the same as "heard";
"Cord" Is different from "word";
"Cow" is cow hut "low" is low1;
"Shoe" is never rhymed with "foe."
Think of "hose" and "dose" and 'lose";
And of "goose" and also "choose."
Think of "comb" and "tomb" and "bomb"
"Doll" and "roll" and "home" and
"some";
And since "pay" is rhymed with -"say"
Why fot "paid" with "said" I pray?
We have "blood'' and "food" and "good"
"Mold" is not pronounced' like "could."
Wherefore "done" but "gone" and "lone"?
Is there any reason known?

there may never bo many students to come right away
from these parts many of them have heard
of Simmoiu College thru the College Band.
The plan was to be back in Abilene in
time to play ir a banquet at Smith Hall
given by the Round Table but owing to
the fact that it took some thirteen hours
to make the trip many of the cars did not
return until too Jate. If the Band should
express themselves Individually it would
all be the same ''we had a fine trip
thanks to the Abilene Boosters who were
so kind to take us along but we are
glad to get back again."

From the London Weekly Telegraph.
The report in tho Middle West of the
United States of a "driverless automobile"
station along the lines of the old livery
stable where one might hire a "rig" and
drhe it oneself affords occasion for re-
calling a story about the earlier institu-
tion which may serve as a warning to
any who would resort to sharp practice.
According Jo the tale referred to; a trav-
eling man once said In the propriteoc of a
liery stable:
"What is the price for a rig to go over
to Blanksville?"
"Ten dollars" he replied.
After the journey had been taken the
owner the owner of the horse amL car-
riage said: "Twenty dollars."
Asked to explain he added "Ten dol-
lars over and ten dollars back."
The next time tho traveling man came
he again Inquired "Wha( is the price for
a rig to go over to Blahkyille?"
'"Ten dollars'' again answered the liv-
eryman. Several days later the traveling man re-
appeared without the rig and handed the
stableman $10.
"But where is ni) rig?" demanded its
owner.
"Over at Blankville" said the patron.
"AH I wanted to do was to go over."

with surprising ease and assuredness con-

was placed in not being well acquainted
with the stage. As lie read the play his
voice rose and fell with soothing accentua-
tion and the many emotions of the poem
such as rage abhorrence pity and sym-
pathy were registered on the facial expres-
sions of the reader and it was easy to fol-
low the trend of his thoughts even had
the words not been distinguishable.

A large amount of deer meat had been
sent to Miss McKinney from a friend on
the border and as a result it was decided
to give a luncheon to several gentlemen
including Prof. Simpson and Mr. Emmelt
Landers. Miss Hobgood was serving the
deer and coming to Prof. Simpson she
said in her most pensive voice: "Would
you like to have some ah h deer." And
it was several moments before she knew
why Mr. Simpson turned a dark red and
was overtaken with a sudden fit of coughing.
