The Tree Planting Committee weeks ago and of which R. F. is chairman announces the completion of plans for the planting of the mem- | orial trees in honor of the war heroes of A. and M. The date has been set for Monday, February 23, which by proclamation from the Governor has been named as Arbor Day, since February 22, falls on Sunday this year. Exercises for the day will begin at three o'clock, building. The band will play Nation- al airs. Prayer will be had. And Judge L. J. Hart of San President of the Board of Directors will deliver a short address. After the address forty-eight men will be directed to begin work of planting the trees. the The entire program is expected to | be completed within one hour. Each squad composed of four cadets and in charge of a senior or junior Horticultural student’ will plant one | of the forty-eight trees to be set out. | *. : | winner. circular | drive beginning at the gate and ex-| The trees will border the tending the entire distance around, on the inside of the curb. The greater number will be planted along the south | side of the drill field where few trees | stands at present. A lesser number will fill in the spaces between trees now growing along the drive in front of Dean Kyle’s and President | Bizzell’s residences, and some will be | set along the east side of the military | walk. Each tree will be identified with a name plate inscribed with the name of one loved son of the College, who died in the service of his country. Invitations have been sent to the parents or guardians of all the men for whom a gold star glitters in the center of the huge service flag, ask- ing for their attendance at the com- memoration ceremonies. It will be remembered by many here | that a number of the parents and | guardians attended the memorial] Program so elaborately performed in Guion Hall early last spring. At that time only forty-one gold stars were in the service flag, but since that time seven others have been changed from the blue to the gold. The planting of trees to perpetrate | the memory of war heroes has been Universally pronounced as the most satisfactory method. Nothing could symbolize the perpetuity of the things for which they died better than a growing tree, and nothing could beautify the College grounds more. tis a utility and a beauty forever, in the sense that we commonly use se term of living. ap- | pointed by President Bizzell several | Smith | in front of the Main | Antonio, | squads of | the | College Station, T exas, | JUNIOR CLASS IS WORKING FOR A Twenty of Junior Ci Class Husbandry are Taking Extra Practice Work. | | | A. and M. is a winner, in football Conference to the extent of 175 to 0, | as a stock judger she is champion of the United States and Canada, and |in basketball every indication is in | her favor of finishing the season with |a thousand percent standing and be- ing accorded both the State and South- west Conference honors.

The ability to thus extend it lies in the power of the Junior class [in Animal Husbandry, who are now | competing among themselves for place on the Junior Stock Judging Team to be chosen next week, which will go | to Oklahoma City to judge at Southwest American Live Stock Show on March 1. From there they will go straight to Fort Worth to judge lat the Southwestern Exposition and | Fat Stock Show. A. and M. teams have entered the contest at Oklahoma City four times (and as many times have won the team | prize of fifty dollars awarded the This amount is divided among the six members of the team. | Twelve teams have been sent from | here to judge at Fat Stock Shows in | Fort Worth and three silver cups | now in possession of the Animal Hus- | bandry Department give testimony to nine champion teams, which are i engraved on the cups. When a team is declared a winner at the show its name is inscribed on a cup, and when | the name of the same team appears three times on one cup that one is | awarded the trophy for permanent | possession. Oklahoma A. and M. has | {her name inscribed twice on one of these cups and one on another, the | only times that she has won over this | College. | Oklahoma has a start on A. and M. | this year in that her name already | appears on the cup which will be of- | fered at this show, having won over (the A. and M. team last year. A | peculiar thing about this winning is, | that the Junior Team from this Col- | lege defeated Oklahoma in Oklahoma City last year by one hundred and forty six points, the two teams then competed against each other at Ft. | Worth one week later and Oklahoma | was declared winner over A. and M. | by four points only. | Twenty members of the Junior class in Animal Husbandry out of the total of thirty-five enrolled in the class are taking extra practice work in stock judging in an effort to be chosen on this year’s team.

FARMERS RETURN ~ WITH THE HONORS! PLACE ON TEAM OF SIX CONTESTS Driver ahd Aggie Victors Accorded a Triumph on Their Return Here. The schreeching whistles of Num- ber Eighteen announced the trium- Aggie warriors yesterday morning; and later the College yells coming from the vicinity of the station indicated the reception which was being given them by the cadet corps. Band music then drowned out voices and indicated the style of escort accorded A. and M.’s honored sons. The last game of the trip was play- ed with the Baylor Bars in Waco Thursday afternoon and ‘was fought to the decisive score of 37 to 11. It was a very ugly game, from_the account given by Director his return. Little to it, because of the abandonment of all ethics of the game by both sides. Several factors contributed to the un- satisfactory way in which the contest was fought, and by no means the least of these was the conduct of the | referee, who will be remembered by the team as the joke of the trip. McQuillen (Forward) got one field goal, Ehlert (Forward) hooped five from field positions, Forbes, (Center) rung five field and four foul goals, Williams (Center) got one field and one free, Hartung (Guard) made one field, and Dwyer (Guard) basketed three field goals. Pierce substituted for Ehlert. Of the 11 points made by five were foul throws. ——— eee eee.

Hard work is ninty-nine percent of genius, he thinks the one percent was there in the beginning and the other ninty-nine is fast being acquir- ed. Mr. Stangel coached the team that brought the bronze bull from Chicago and he is determined that this Junior Team shall maintain the pace that has been set by his and the other teams that are making the record for A. and M. this year.

Number 117 117 PERIODICALS ARE - VALUABLE ALSO ARE INTERESTING Professor Mayo Gives Brief Review of Publications Received in Library. Of the more than one hundred periodicals subscribed to by the Li- brary, only a comparatively small number are read habitually. Daily papers and weekly and monthly mag- | azines are not only the sole means we have of keeping in touch with the world. They contain a good many things—many valuable though tran- sient impressions, which never find their way into books. In proportion to its size, the Library has an un- usually large collection of period- icals, and the practice of reading a good magazine article every day would be an easy and valuable habit to form. The daily editorials of the New York Times are probably the best ex- amples~of newspaper writing in this country, ‘and deal with every ques- tion of national importance; the Stars and Stripes should interest at least every | ex-service man; while among our Texas papers, several are worth attention for more than the sport columns and the scandals. Of the weeklies, the Literary Di- gest is already popular. It covers a great deal of ground—{from interna- tional problems to art and abstract science—and it gives very briefly the opinions of a great many au- thorities. Some people who object to being fed on literary hash would probably prefer The Living Age, an excellent but little known weekly consisting of whole articles selected from the best journals of America, England, and Continental Europe. Among the more interesting things |in the current issue are “Egypt’s Plea | for Independence,” from the Neue Zurcher Zeitung, a Swiss newspaper; “Political Sentiment in Germany’, a brief and clear summary of the in- ternal condition of our late enemy, taken from a German paper, the Neue Freie Presse; and “Where Peace Fails”, by Jacques Bainville, a brilliant exponent of the old-fashion- ed diplomacy which Wilson put out | of fashion, but which the recent in- ternational dissension has encour- aged to think that its day is not yet done. By far the best monthly journals to read for current events are the Review of Reviews and the World’s Work. The Review of Reviews has the advantage of being edited by Albert Shaw, a powerful thinker and most readable writer on public ques- tions. The eight or ten page “Prog- ress of the World” with which he opens each number of the magazine should not escape anyone who at- tempts in any degree to keep abreast of the times. Frank H. Simonds, whom so many readers followed in war-time, still contributes a valuable monthly article to the Review of Re- views. Still another feature of this
