LUTHERAN PASTOR
FORMER STUDENT
Rev. Hugo Roitsch, pastor of the
Kurten Lutheran church, was a vis
itor on the campus last week, look
ing after the interests of the Luth
eran students here in making arrange
ments to hold services on the cam
pus. Rev. Roitsch will serve the pas
torate at Kurten regularly and in
tends to serve the students here at
the same time by holding service on
the second and fourth Sunday eve
nings. Since with this double obliga
tion he would be unable to do full
justice to the work among the stu
dents, Rev. Roitsch intends to start
a Mission in Bryan and eventually let
it handle the college work. But for the
time being the services will be held
on the campus and will be announced
through the Daily Bulletin.
Students will be interested to learn
that Rev. Roitsch is a former student
of the institution, having tajcen a
course in Agriculture here in 1912.
THE BATTALION takes this oppor
tunity to extend a hearty welcome to
Rev. Roitsch and wishes him suc
cess in his work.
JERSEY COW JOINS
SELECT CLASS
Stockwell’s Lady Gamboge 520846,
a senior three-year-old Jersey cow,
owned by the Texas A. and M. College
at College Station, Texas, has com
pleted an official 365-day test in
which she produced 402.03 pounds of
fat and 8366 pounds of milk. With
this record she qualified for the Reg
ister of Merit of the American Jer
sey Cattle Club. Stockwell’s Lady
Gamboge was tested once previously
and in that test she produced 414.22
pounds of fat as a junior two-year
old.

with crawling dandruff, or the man
who has accidentally set fire to fifty
pounds of gunpowder and is trying

“Say, my roommate is the spiteful-
est guy on the campus. He bought
a ticket to Houston and then walked
down there to spite the railroad com
pany. You know that son-of-a-gun
hasn’t given them that ticket back
’till yet!”
The general level of prices paid to
"armers for their produce was 34 per
cent above the pre-war level on Sep
tember 15, and 1 per cent higher than
August 15.
The department of agriculture in
its monthly report Wednesday said
that during the month farm prices for
practically all crops were lowered but
they offset higher prices for meat,
animals, dairy and poultry products.
A year ago the general price level
was 44 per cent above the pre-war
period.
“With our high speed competition
we must have clear, sober heads to
get there. We must either support
prohibition or go back to bugggies. A
ch'unken man can’t twist the reins
about the dashboard of an automobile
and expect to get home as he did with
old Dobbin.” This was the statement
of Badger Clark, cowboy poet of the
old West, to the students at Colorado
Agricultural College at Fort Collins,
recently.
He: Sir, your daughter has prom
ised to be my wife.
Her Dad: Well, don’t come to me
for sympathy. I knew something
would happen if you hung around here
five nights a week.—Exchange.
