PLEA FOR RECORD ATTEN
DANCE AT SUNDAY
SCHOOL NEXT SUNDAY
President W. B. Bizzell Urges Large
Sunday School Attendance.
Am effort is being made by the re
ligious forces of the College to have
a record attendance in the several
Sunday School classes next Sunday
morning. The goal is a thousand
students actually present. This is
approximately fifty per cent, of the
total enrollment in the College. If
this figure is reached, it will require
the combined effort of every man in
terested in the religious welfare of
the institution. Let us all join in
making next Sunday the record day
in attendance at the College.
Come to Sunday School next Sun
day. Invite your friends to come.
Let the slogan of the year be “A
Thousand Men of A. and M. Study
ing- God’s Word.”
W. B. BIZZELL,
President.
DAIRY HUSBANDRY TEAM
RETURNS AFTER A
VERY SUCCESSFUL TRIP
The Senior Dairy Husbandry team
returned to the campus last Thurs
day after enjoying an extensive trip
through many Southern and Eastern
points. The first stop was Memphis
where the team stayed five days and
won the Southern Championship.
Stephens was high point man of the
show. Poage was high point man in
Guernseys. A. and M. won six of
the seven medals that were awarded.
The team spent one day in Shelby-
ville where they visited the noted
Alandale Jersey Farms. From here
they went to Lexington, Ky., and ob
served the Kansas U. and Kentucky
football game. The men on the team
remarked that either team would
have been an easy mark for our Bull
and company. The next stop was
Columbus Ohio, and the team spent
a delightful day visiting the Hart
man Stock farms and Ohio State U.
The Aggies made several other short
stops and proceeded to Syracuse for
the big show. They stayed four
days at the National Dairy show.
A. and M. proved her superiority
at the big show when Fred Downs
won the four hundred dollar cash
scholarship for taking high-point man
in Jerseys. The rest of the team
finished well up among the leaders
and gave the other teams a hard and
fierce battle.
The team returned by way of New
York City and Washington, D. C.
They stopped off in New Orleans and
then back to College. The team was
able to give good account of them
selves and the whole of Aggieland is
proud of them. Much of their suc
cess was due to the great coaching
of Professor Darnell. The team was
composed of F. Downs, L. Stephens,
K. Cottingame, and C. Poage. May
success always follow you prides of
Aggieland.

On Friday night, twenty-eight
Senior and twenty-five Junior Ani
mal Husbandry men will leave for
Dallas and will be gone until the
twenty-fourth. Eighteen of the Sen
iors are men trying out for the In
ternational Stock Judging Team, and
they are making this trip in order
that they may work with the animals
on exhibition at the State Fair.
The purpose in going to Dallas, is
to give the men a chance to work
with finished animals; one thing the
A. H. Department does not have.
They will also have access to practi
cally all the different breeds of live
stock. One day will be spent in
judging each kind of stock, and each
day will be devoted entirely to judg
ing.
The men trying out for the team
will be given particular attention, and
this trip will also serve as an elimi
nation contest as the squad will be
cut to twelve men upon their return.
The other men will benefit by the
instruction and practice they receive.
It has been rumored that Coach
Stangel is going to have the hardest
time he has ever had in selecting the
six men that will make up the team.
This is evidenced by the fact that
eleven of the men on the squad have
had actual experience in contests;
some at the Dallas Fair and the
thers at Oklahoma City last year.
The entire squad is fighting tooth and
toe-nail for a place on the team.
The Coach as well as the other
members of the A. H. Department
are very much pleased with the pro
gress the squad is making and the
spirit they are showing. Although
they are not making any promises,
they declare that this year’s team
will be the strongest that A. & M. has
ever sent to the International Show
at Chicago.
POLA NEGRI IN “THE CHEAT.”
Just a few of the big scenes:
The stupendous charity bazaar—an
eye-filling, breath-stopping spectacle.
The Parisian fashion shop, with
beautiful mannequins in a dazzling
style show.
The sensational “branding scene”—
the screen’s greatest thrill.
The dramatic court room scene,
with its smashing, unforgettable cli
max.—Adv.
Plain English.
“Doctor, if there is anything the
matter with me, don’t frighten me
half to death by giving it a long, sci
entific name. Just tell me what it
is in plain English.”
“Well, sir, to be frank, you are
lazy.”
“Thank you, doctor. Now tell me
the scientific name for it. I’ve got
to report to the missus.”—Pract.
