THE BATTALION
iiSS'
ATHLETIC DEPT.
TO GIVE BANQUET
Members of All-Company Team to be
Guests.
The annual all-company banquet
will :be given in Sbisa Hall Annex on
the night of March 10. This banquet
is given each year at the end of the
inter-battalion football league to the
managers and coaches of all battalion
teams, to the members of the two all
company selections, and to some few
invited guests.
At this affair “Sully” opens the old
pocketbook wide open and throws a
real party. Formalities are few and
far between, with a big plate full of
eats as the predominating factor. In
fact in the parlance of the campus
this affair is thought of more as a
“feed” rather than a banquet. The yell
leaders are among the lucky ones in
vited and already Cy Edwards has
begun fasting in order that he may
do justice to the occasion.
Stage directions for this scene from William Vaughn Moody’s
Divide,” call for a woman’s muffled scream, a pistol shot, ani the cra-h cl break
ing furniture. The microphone on the right sends them all to your home.
DR. LEE PUBLISHES BULLETIN
ON FARM MORTGAGE FINANCE
Dr. V. P. Lee, professor of the Ag
ricultural Economics Department, is
the author of the Agricultural Experi
ment Station Bulletin, “Farm Mort
gage Financing in Texas,” which is
now in the hands of the publishers and
is to be released in the near future.
The bulletin will contain fifty pages
together with maps, charts and tables,
and it is expected that it will fill a
much needed place on the list of the
Experiment Station bulletins.
Dr. Lee secured this material from
various sources. Every angle of the
question is considered and it can be
clearly seen that the scope of infor
mation used is the fullest possible
when it is learned that Dr. Lee con
sulted several farm mortgage com
panies, joint stock land banks, the
Federal land bank, insurance com
panies, trust companies, and state
and national banks in gathering the
data for the treatise.
Among the features of the bulle
tin the treatment accorded the amount
in Texas farm mortgages held by the
various mortgage institutions on Jan
uary 1, 1924; the ratio of the loans to
the value of the land mortgages; the
interest rates charged; the purposes
for which the loans were made; the
length of term for which loans are
made; the methods of repayment; the
extent of foreclosures in 1923; the lo
cation of investors in Texas Farm
mortgages; and the opinions of these
institutions on the Texas Exemption
law.
Teacher: “Can you tell me the
shape of the world?”
Pupil: “Pop says it’s in a hell of
a shape.”
