8 IMPRESSIONS OF MOTHER’S DAY PROGRAM The great mass of the popula tion of Aggieland was gathered in Guion Hall for the observance of Mother’s Day. Dripping wet they filed in, but even the drabness of the skies outside could not dampen the reverent spirit permeating the lofty white walls of the hall. Along with the cadets came scores of moth ers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and sweethearts, each one intent upon paying homage to the greatest of all human institutions—the institu tion of motherhood. Soft music played by the musi cians melted in with the sweet voices of the chorus of boys and girls. Finally the music stopped, and- a trimly dressed cadet stepped forward to deliver the invocation. He did his part well, but his one prayer y/as but one of several thousand that went up at that time. Here and there among the solid khaki ranks a head would be suddenly bowed, and a prayer would be offered for that raother so many miles away. Here a mother and son would lean a lit tle closer together, and each would offer a prayer for the safety of the other. Sister clasped the hand of brother, and brother that of mother and father. From some hearts, almost stilled with sad mem ories, there went up prayers for the mother that would never re turn. Outside there seemed to be a rustling, and some boys felt relived —felt relieved because they some how knew that their prayers had been heard and answered, and that somewhere off in the distance there was a mother praying for her absent son. It was Mother’s Day. PRIZE PAINTINGS (Continued from Page 1) were on exhibition at the ‘Y’ Chapel during the past week. A large num ber of Bryan people and visf^ors from all over the state, here for Mo ther’s Day, viewed the collection. The canvasses covered the sub jects of Texas Wildflowers, Ranch and Cotton scenes and a fourth class for Texas artists only. The paintings included the work of some of the outstanding artists of the United States, from Texa s to New York. Prizes totaling. S31,000 were offered by Mr. Davis in the competition in San Antonio at which the paintings shown here were adjudged winners. At a dinner in San Antonio, when the prize winners were auoounced, Mr. Davis indicated that the compe tition would not be continued in Tex as for another year but that he ex pected to make an effort to reorgan ize it on a national basis. COMMANDMENTS FOR A COLLEGE PROF. 1. Thou shalt love no college ex cept This Particular One. 2. Thou shalt have no wordly in terests outside the College; neither shalt thou serve them, nor make any money therefrom.

Thou shalt not know many of the Trustees; for the College will not hold him guiltless who cultivates the Trustees—in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath Day, not to play golf therein. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but on the seventh day shalt thou be with thy family, and in it thou shalt beat the rugs, wash the windows, clean the car, and also grade student papers and prepare lectures for the coming week. 5. Thou shalt approve of every- th 4 ng, both in the Faculty and Stu dent Body. This the fifth and great commandment. 6. Thou shalt not grumble nor cuss at anything whatsoever. 7.

And in the end a few of them will remember thee and richly reward thy services to the College with their friendship and esteem. —TUFTS WEEKLY TALK ABOUT YO POPPAS Talk about yo poppas, well I got one, Lissen while I tell you what he do. He comes in evy night lookin’ like a fright, And sometimes wit de jim jams too. He makes me hole a needle for to thread it, Him what can’t even see the bed, An then he makes me lock the door an hole it. To keep tha great big snake out his head. One night he clam up on tha mantle shelf, Lookin’ for some grains of com to peck. Then he dove off in the bright and shinin’ water An like to broke his damn fool neck. He got the idee once he was a angel, An I was the devil’s maiden aunt. He though he could convert me just by preachin’, You shoulda heard that fool rave an rant An once he thought I wuz a trained seal, Tried to make me balance flat irons on my nose, Then chased me out the house an up a tree, ’Cause I dropped one on his blasted toes. Oh he gives me hell in plenty evy night, What with this an that an krther things he tries, But when mawnin’ comes he always wakes up ito tell me, The very sweetest kind of lovin’ lies. How he dreampt last night he made a million dollars, An spent it all for cushions for my feet. How he went down town an foun’ an empty shoe box. That turned into a purple bridal suite. How the kids can all have custard after school. And the mocking birds will sing us off to sleep. How we’ll never have to listen to the nasal Jews that holler all day long CHEAP. But when night comes he’s off again to guzzle, And swill in his rotten, stinkin’ beer. He’s really worth about a million dollars An I’m the one that spends it. Is it clear ? G. M. W.

Dear Friends: I have been a very heavy pipe smoker for the last thirty years, and have always used Edgeworth To bacco (Plug Slice) and find there is no other tobacco like it for a cool and well flavored taste. I am in the vaudeville business, and have traveled all over the world with my brother, and always have had very great pleasure in recommending your tobacco; and many a time I have had to pay double the price in different countries for it, but I would sooner do that than smoke anything else, as I have tried all different brands. I generally buy a one-pound tin and roll it up; and believe me, gentlemen, it is real tobacco. With best wishes from Yours sincerely, Sam La Mert of the La Mert Brothers’ Piano Novelty Act.
