MIDDLE BURSTERS LOOK FOR THE NAME “AVERY 5 IT APPEARS ON ALL ORIGINAL MIDDLE BURSTERS We have made middle bursters, plows, implements, etc., so good so long that the majority of Southern plainters won’t accept any other kind. They know that no other line has stood the test as long and given the competeni and fitting service that Avery’s has. They know what the name Avery means to the farmer. Remember that you are not experimenting when you buy Avery’s plows and implements. Write and we will tell you more about the line that has made good for nearly ninety years. B. F. AVERY & SONS PLOW CO., Inc. DALLAS, TEXAS SAN ANTONIO HOUSTON SHREVEPORT r ■■ ■" ■■■ " 'i Locals Guarding every night, God help the poor private! Miss Kate Leavell of Mississippi is visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Leavell. W. C. Torrence has returned from a short visit to Waco. J. G. Lott ran up to Waco for a short visit a few days ago. Connellee now has alcohol on tap in Room 22 Pfeuffer. Everyone is cor dially invited to call. Jim Kendricks has finally returned from the Christmas holidays. He may he reduced to the rear rank. R. S. (Scientific) Hanna is recover ing from the shock behind which Re sulted from Sunday’s R. V. invasion. The following report appeared upon the sick list last Wednesday: “Kerche- loe, J. M. (Fireball)', cold and fright— military.” G. F. Gordon (Germany) since be coming manager of “1914” Long Horn feels his prosperity and is now smok ing cigars. Miss Lucy Thompson of Waco came down for the junior dance Saturday and remained with Mrs. Otto Ehlinger until Monday. “B” company began baseball prac tice last Tuesday. They have good material and expect to have a win ning team. “Dough” Stone is slowly recovering from a protracted sickness occasioned by the loss of a five-dollar bill in Bryan and is now gaining weight. That new car station in rear of the Y. M. C. A. building is evidently a joke, as well as the extension of the track from Leigh’s store to Goodwin Hall. The basketball squad has been weakened by the loss of A. H. Graves, guard, who resigned a few days ago. He will finish the year at Dallas Uni versity. Mrs. E. H. Astin wishes to express her thanks and gratitude to the com pany captains who assisted her so materially in the sale of the Red Cross seals before Christmas. Through the efforts of the cadets almost as much money was realized on the campus as in Bryan. The news of the resignation of W. W. Steel, captain of Company A, from the college, was received with great regret by his many friends here. Wal lace has been in bad health for some months past and was unable, on ac count of his illness, to return after the Christmas holidays. Tuesday at dinner the corps was regaled bn “prune pie” as “cush.” To those who do not know, we wish to explain that prune pie is really good. It is a delicacy seldom seen except in the kitchens of the very wealthy (and then very seldom). Besides being an appreciated tit-bit for the cadets, this pie relieved the college of the expense and waste of throwing out several 'gal lons of prfectly good prunes. It is with pleasure that we announce that M. D. Morley, the popular cap tain of “F” company last year and a distinguished student for two years, has been employed by the M. E. de partment as instructor. Morley has been so successful in everything he has tried so far that it is certain that he will have a most successful time as an instructor. The M. E. depart ment is very fortunate indeed to be able to secure the services of such a brilliant and efficient student. On account of the deaths of Cadets Koons and Rawlins, a scare has been thrown into the cadet corps, and al though told that they were safer here than anywhere else, yet they will go any way. They do not take into con sideration the fact that if they should be so unfortunate as to carry menin gitis germs with them and should go home, that they would give them to the members of their families. It looks like they would not care to ex pose their families, even if they were so unfortunate. We have heard of rakes, shovels, and even bricks, being sent by par cels post, but the limit was reached a day or so ago when a lieutenant re ceived his sabre by mail. It is re ported that this promising disciple of Napoleon carried his “cheese knife” home so his fond parents could see what their boy had done at A. and M., and had forgotten it in his hun’y to return to school. Parcels post re lieved the situation, and our lieuten ant again wears his sabre. Friday afternoon, with Mrs. C. H. Leavell of Mississippi as honoree, Mrs. J. C. Blake entertained very charm ingly. As a pleasant climax to two hours of embroidery and conversation the hostess had ready plates of chick en salad, olives, almonds, delicious hot rolls and coffee which were thorough ly done justice to and appreciated by the guest of honor and Mesdames W. H. Leavell, R. T. Milner, B. Young blood, F. C. Bolton, D. W. Spence, E. J. Fermier, H. E.' Smith, O. M. Ball, L. G. Brown, O. F. Chastain and J. B. Bagley. Junior Hop. On Saturday evening, January 11, the Junior Class were hosts to an un usually delightful dance. Mr. August Lenert and Miss Louise Caldwell of Bryan led the promenade, which was followed by sixteen regular dances and several extras. The programs were exceptionally pretty and the jun iors are to be complimented on the absolute success of the hop, which was enjoyed by a number of visiting young ladies as well as those of Col lege and Bryan.
