This is to be a regular corps dance, so you that will have visiting dates may inform your ladies accord ingly. Quite a few visitors are ex pected between terms for the dances, and since this is to be the last dance in the Annex it should be an unusual evening for all, especially those that pass all of their D exams. PLANS FOR AN EXTENSIVE C. M. T. CAMPS ARE FORMED According to plans just approved by the Commanding General of this Corps Area, C. M. T. Camps will this summer be held at Ft. Sam Houston, Ft. Crocket, Ft. Bliss, and Dallas, Tex as, Ft. Still, Oklahoma, Ft. Logan, Colorado and Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. Three new camps are in this way established, no camps being held last summer at Ft. Bliss, Ft. Crockett or Dallas, Texas. The new camps are established with the view of improv ing on the present C. M. T. Camps by making them slightly smaller, thereby giving each student more of the instructor’s individual attention. Also, this plan, by reducing the dis tances to camps, will allow more par ents to visit their sons while camp is in progress. Visitors are always wel come and will be entertained at each camp in the best possible manner. Dates for the camps have not yet been announced by the War Department but, as last year, they will probably be held during the month of August. On December 8, James B. Duke, to bacco and power “king” offered Trinity College, Durham, S. C., §6,- 000,000 and thirty-two percent of a $40,000,000 trust fund in case it con sented to become the nucleus for an institution to be known as Duke Uni versity. On December 29 the trus tees of Trinity College met and voted unanimously to become trustess of Duke University. The new name is in honor of Mr. Duke’s father, Washington Duke. m 'IB M H ■P an uni IB m to We are all interested in tke same tiling ^ | ^HK very reason that the Purina Mills are employing -L agricultural college graduates and co-operating with hun dreds of county agents is that these men understand the necessity of supplying farmers with rations that will cut their cost of producing milk, eggs, pork and beef. ❖ ❖ * SOCIETY * ❖ *J* .J. .J. .J. *£. -ij. .J. .J. «£» Corps Dance Last Saturday Night. The first Corps dance of this calen dar year was held in the Annex last Saturday night as was scheduled, but the full moon and still, clear night that was scheduled, was lacking. Be cause of this fact the crowd was much smaller than usual and the ride from Bryan to College was not near so ro- matic. Regardless of the bad weather and small attendance a good dance was reported. Probably it would be prop er to be conventional and say “a good time was had by all”. That is espec ially true of one, Bob C., who is said to have been rather irresponsible most of the evening. 4< * * Barnyard Dance Next. The next dance to look forward to is the Barnyard dance which is to be held on Friday, January 30. This dance is to be a masked costume dance and should prove very interesting. The ladies are to wear any costume they desire and since everyone is to have a mask over their eyes the smile and bead combination would be rather unique and probably appro priate. The escorts and stags are to be in barnyard regalia only. They too are to be masked, so this is a very good time to “come out” in their store bought” suit and “hand-me- down boots” that they were once so Proud of. There are to be some very new &nd interesting features about this dance, probably the most impoi’tant of which is the food that is to be served at some time during the dance. Also something has been said about teature dances and other surprises throughout the evening. 4* 4* 4* Next Corps Dance Jan. 31. The last corps dance of the term and probably the last to be held in the Annex is to be on Saturday night ollowing the Barnyard dance on Fri- m IB n M ill *L, me ran It is to Lower the Farmer’s Production Costs Every man has his “hunch” as to the economy of commercial rations. But you as a scientific man know that it is a matter of plain commonsense to use whichever ration is going to lower your cost of production. If you can be convinced, by actual test, that home grown feeds balanced with a commercial feed can lower your cost of production more than your home grown feed alone—then it is a simple matter of economy and good business to use the commercial feed. Every checkerboard bag of Purina Chows is sold upon that basis. Record sheets are distributed free by Purina Mills and milk scales are supplied at cost. Every Purina feeder is in structed to keep daily records of his production and of his feed cost. If home grown feeds balanced with Purina Chows did not pass this test, Purina Mills would never have grown to its present proportions. Purina Chows are made by a 30-year old organization of scientific men like you, who realized the advantages to the farmer in hav ing central mills for mixing, cleaning and balancing ingredients— central laboratories for testing and analyzing—central buying or ganizations for securing the finest ingredients at reasonable prices. Purina Chows are the product of these centralized plants. They are the very mixture each scientific farmer would make at home if he had the equipment and all the ingredients of tested quality. We extend to you an invitation which we earnestly hope you will accept. It is an invitation to visit one of the busy mills of an organization which is applying the principles of feeding which you are studying at A & M. PURINA MILLS, 959 Gratiot Street, St. Louis, Mo.
