Boys Ask Dealers For Our Goods THE BAT TALION * * ❖ MIDNIGHT MUSINGS. * ❖ * Yes, we have permanently given up the idea of buying a new overcoat for the holidays. * * * And the effects won’t all be over by Christmas—we hope our girl wasn’t counting on anything special. * * * We have decided that Charlie can mend those shirts we had planned on discarding a few weeks ago—that is if we can do it on credit. * * ❖ There was a time when we had a girl at C. I. A. and since that telegram came last Friday we are going to make an effort to get a renewal! It’s about this time when the old boys write home to sis to hold any mail that comes in an official Reg istrar’s Office envelope—it’s nothing important of course but sis does like two-pound boxes! * * * We have one consolation, we weren’t exactly flush before Thurs day and the football game took our pile. We have nothing to lose on the Chess and Stock Judging teams. If we’d had it we’d have lost it though. * * * A man told us at the Driskill that he bet on A. and M. and lost but that it didn’t worry him—he’d have bet on the Aggies if he had known they were going to lose! And he never went to A. and M. a day in his life! The closest he ever came was when he sold shoes to Bryan merchants. That’s the sort of attraction A. and M. has. * -1« * If caps and blouses had been in vented in the days of witchci*aft there would have been no need of the wooden stocks provided for the dis comfort of the suspects. A uniform No. 1 would have served as well. Even the army has now adopted the roll lapel coat of British style. * * * We haven’t observed a single Aggie going capless yet. * * * The University rooters in the yel low shirts put up a keen showing but what if it had rained! * H* * Yep; they were pretty considerate. They didn’t even pull the shirt-tail dance until the second A. and M. special had pulled out of the yai'ds. * * * j It has been something of a mystery why the train lights were extinguish ed on the return from Austin.' Well no one needs a chaperone in\ the light is the way we look at it and /the trains were well supplied. YOU DON’T SAY! Don’t you tell ’em Sbisa hash— we’re fed up on you. ❖ # * Don’t you tell ’em Sloan’s linament —you’ve been doing it yourself for a weak back. Jk rj: * Don't you tell ’em McMillan’s feet —you hide too much. Don’t you tell ’em data sheet—we only got you for an experiment. * * Don’t you tell ’em Mr. Henderson —letter drop. * * * Don’t you tell ’em Wheezy—this is supposed to be a dry country. * * * Don’t you tell ’em Ramsey—let the news stand. Jj: :{5 Don’t you tell ’em Doc Ehlinger— even if you do cover up your mis takes. :k ;k $ Don’t you tell ’em Star Navy— McConnell’s got you where he wants you. * * * Don’t you tell ’em “Rinctums” Lavinder—you g-o work on a head. * * * Don’t tell ’em trust fund—we’ll never see you again. :J; * Don’t tell ’em Lazrus—you were licked by the dogs yourself. Rub-My-Tism relieves Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sprains. “OUR IDEA OF A COSMOPOLITAN.” A Russian Jew in England with an Italian wife, smoking Egyptian cigar- etts near a French window in a room with a Turkey carpet on the floor. If this man di'ank American cream sodas while listening to a German band playing “Come Back to Erin”, after a supper of Dutch cheese made up as a Welch rarebit, then you might be quite safe in saying that he were a cosmopolitan.—Searchlight. Rub-My-Tism cures bruises, cuts, sores, tetter, etc. All girls are pure and chaste; the more pure, the less chased.—The Mus tang, S. M.

Extension Service Semi-Monthly Pub lication Is of Unusual Interest to Agricultural Students. The November issue of the Exten sion Service Farm News is an ex cellent addition to the Ag students’ collection of bulletins and refei-ences. The number is especially related to Horticulture in Texas with articles on home orchard varieties, insect pests, grape culture, berry culture, and fig- culture in the state. Messrs. W. B. Lanham, M. E. Hays, R. R. Reppert, and E. A. Miller have contributed on these subjects. Messx-s. F. W. Kaze- mier and T. J. Conway have articles in reference to the Egg Laying Con test at the Experiment Station. It is of interest to note the position won by Texas pens in competition with those from the nation-famed poultry farms of the north. The copies of the Farm News may be had by calling -at—the—mailing room of Gathright Hall. If the News is desired at your home, leave the address with Mr. S. C. Hoyle, editor, who will send it free upon application. A cat so bold sat hunched on the floor as cats so bold will do, She tucked her head and folded her feet and waited an hour or two. At last a rat came strutting thru an ominous looking crack. This made pussy rely on her four paws. Cause the rat had soaked her maw with Tanlac. The rat reai*ed back when she saw the cat, and said with much disdain: “You’ve licked me once, you’ve licked me twice, you’ll never lick me again, For years and years I’ve been a drudge; sickly since time was dim, But a bottle fell off the shelf, I drank it myself now I’m full of vim.” Pooling her thoughts and racking her brain of five senses for this cue, Pussy decided it wasn’t i-ight to^stage a fight so she hid the rat adieu. Pussy had regai-d for her felines as pussies should; she wasn’t so very dense. If she had to die she would rather lie in the alibi defense. As Tanlac bx-ag-s of seventeen per the rat was mischief bent, But though poor pussy had nine lives she only had one purr scent. —Annie Nonymus. CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY The C. E. Society held its x-egular meeting Tuesday night. A vex-y in teresting program was rendered, the speakers being Mr. Clayton and Mr. Carson. Mi\ Clayton made a talk on the sewer system at Camp Mc- Arthur, giving a detailed account of how it was installed. Mr. Carson then told us of the irxngation px-oh- lem along the Rio Graixde Valley. “This valley of the United States.’’ It contains some of the most fertile soils in the wox'ld, but the x-ainfall i'> so little that irrigation is necessax-y fox- the production of fine cx-ops. Mr. Cax-son said that the chief difficulty was in getting a sufficient numbei- of efficient engineers to carry on the work. After the px-ogram was finished thoughts were turned to business. A design of pin symbolizing the C. E. Society was chosen and a committee appointed for ax-ranging the fixxals. Befox-e long the CiviJ Engineers will blossom 01.it with a little pin on oux- pccket flaps that will make you sit up and take notice. A few doses 666 break a cold.
