FARMERS NEEDED AT INDIAN SCHOOLS. THE BIG NOISE MINSTREL GIVEN MONDAY NIGHT (Continued from Page 1) and George Young will call in all the ‘chickens” and birds with his melodious whistling. Of course the minstrel is to be featured by the end men, consisting of “Red” Thompson, Mayo, Riley, and Goodman, who, by the way, is some little singer “his- self”. He will feature the evening with the song which has brought memories of by-gone days to everv- one and despondency as to the fu ture, “ Oh, Corkscrew, You ha^'e Lost Your Pull. If sufficiently urged we are asked to announce that will consider to sing the latest song of his own composition which has not been published as yet and for which he has not obtained a copyright, “You Can’t Drive a Nail With a \ Sponge, No Matter How Hard You 'Soak it.” So you see what we have for the future — can you beat it. College Station is lucky to get the opportun ity of such because it is seldom that such a show makes a place of this size. Show your appreciation by at tending and we will see that you never regret it. Don’t forget: Mon day evening, 8: 30. The Fish of “Foster Apartments” suddenly became aware of the fact on a certain night last week that they were in need of a little fresh air. It seemed that the atmosphere in the vicinity of the campus was a bit stuffy so they took to the more thinly populated parts of Brazos county for their airing. Several of the worst affected, spent a part of the night in Wellborn but felt suffi ciently relieved to come back in time for breakfast the next morning. Tt seems as if these little outings are coming into popularity of late with the fish. We wonder why? *.—*** *** *** ********* \* *** ****** *.**!* *** ********* **■* *** *** *1* *** *1* ********************* *** *** *+* ***' »:* *:♦ v ❖ 4* ❖ * *:* ❖ *:* ❖ ❖ *:• 4> ❖ *!* * 4* 4* 4* 4» *:• *:* 4- 4* 4* 4* 4» •:* 4» ❖ 4* *:• 4* •:* 4* 4* *:* The United States Civil Service Commission announces that Indian schools in many states are in need of farmers to have charge, under the di rection of the superintendents, of ag ricultural operations on farms con nected with the schools, to give in struction in practical farming, and to do extension and instructional work in agriculture among adult Indians occupying their own farms on reser vations.
