McGILL DAILY (Toronto, Can.)
Darling Mother and Father:
I arrived here safely and took spec
ial care not to get killed or run over
as you said, mother.
When you sent me here, you had no
idea I would have to learn a new
language. I am making fairly good
progress in it, though 1 find it rather
hard.
I was asked yestrday if I was a
“frosh.” I replied that I was
Canadian and of Scottish descent.
One of my eyes is black. How could
they expect me to learn the language
in one day ? The registering clerk
asked me if I was a partial, or full
student. I was not full, having spent
the morning and part of the after
noon waiting in line, and having had
no chance to get dinner, I replied I
was only “partial”. I afterwards sup
ped at the Union. I am now a full
student.
Sombody wanted to know what lab
I was going to take. I replied that I
would take nothing until I had asked
for it. My other eye is black.
While in the Union I was roughly
seized and carried up stairs, and asked
if I wanted to be a rooter. My ears
are deaf. They asked whether I could
“jazz round” on an instrument. I said
I could milk a cow. A fellow asked
me what the use was a cow in an
orchestra. “Well,” I said. “It’s got
two horns.” I was kicked down stairs.
A rooter is one who yells. I was a
rooter only during initiation.
I dozed during a lecture by a prof,
who seems to be one who talks in a
monotone. When I v/oke up I knew
nothing about anything. He asked
me what coed was upsetting me. I
wonder what sort of animal a co-ed
was. Your hired girl would be a co-ed
if she went to college.
Another inquired asked whether I
had a sup. I told him I had supper
last night. A sup is an examination
endured by those who fail. Examina
tion came from the Latin word “ex-
animo,” to exhaust, only the n and m (
have changed places.
I think a soff (spelt soph.) is one
who swoops down on you with intent
to murder. Nobody has yet been
swooped down upon, but there is a
lot of talk about it.
There is going to be a Junior Prom,
I thought it meant a school children’s
parade, but it means a dance. I am
not going.
The inquirer wanted to know if I
was “in a frat.” I said no, but I was
pretty mad.
I thought the college had a police
force, for I heard the terms P. C. in
several places— but P. C. means Pres
byterian College where the ministers
learn how to preach.
The words “stude” and “meet” al
ways suggested to me table dainties,
but I am a “stude” and have to attend
a “meet” very soon.
The letters R. V. and C pronounced
together always suggest infinite
sweetness to me, why, I do not know.
I told this to a fellow, and he looked
sadly at me and said, “I had four
sups last year—dancing instead df
studying.” That’s R. V. C. for you.
I know what R. V. C. means now. Its
naughty but it’s nice.
SENIOR FAVORITE SECTION
OF LONGHORN TO BE ORGINAL
A young lover we know paid .$2
for a service car to run him 6 miles
to see his girl, and when he got there
the family bulldog ran him three
blocks and didn’t charge him a cent.
Jitney drivers have no souls.
The Senior Favorite Section of the
Longhorn always attracts a great
deal of attention. This year the sec
tion will be entirely different, and, on
consideration, the way in which the j
Senior favorites will be presented j
gives promise of being a decided im-1
provement over the plan of previous I
years. For one thing, the plan this
year is largely new and original, and
more than that, offers a means of rep
resenting the entire senior class very
satisfactorily.
Instead of selecting the best dancer,
the most military man, the wittiest
man and the most popular man, this
year’s Senior class has selected the
six most prominent Seniors of the
class to adorn the pages in the Long
horn. In this way all the various
types of men in the class will be rep
resented. The selections are secret
until that long-looked-for day when
the Longhorns will be given out.
The feminine section will be com
posed of pictures of the six prettiest
girls. Everyone who gets a Longhorn
may be assured that among other
things, he will have the likeness of
six really beautiful women, for the
committee who will select the for
tunate girls is the same committee
who recently selected “Miss America”
at Atlantic City. All the pictures
from which six will be picked have
already been sent to this committee.
The Longhorn will be worth look
ing for with much eagerness because
of the Senior Favorite Section alone,
which gives promise of being a de
cided improvement over previous
years.
Capt. Flounders: This fish re
minds me of a dentist. His drilling
soon gets on your nerves.

EGG RECORD
jfie Meaning of a
CHECKERBOARD BAG
XT’"NOW the meaning of checkers on a bag of feed!
They mean “This is a Purina Chow—made ac
cording to the proven principles of feeding taught at
every leading agricultural college.”
^ I checkerboard is a mark
which says “This feed was made
by a 30-year old organization of agri
cultural college graduates, ex-govern
ment feed experts, ex-county agents,
chemists, research men, practical
farmers and business men.”
LL ingredients in the feed have
been carefully tested. Where
desirable, analyses have been made
in Purina laboratories.
TT VERY bag of feed is uniform.
It is very thoroughly mixed.
'C'ACH bag of Purina Chows carries with it the insistence that
feeders must keep records of their feed cost. Purina Checker
board Chows have proved to thousands of farmers that they lower
the cost of producing milk, eggs, pork and beef by the actual
records they have kept. That
is the only real test of a feed. It
is the only test which Purina
Chows require!
