who conducts the senior class in Ag - -
ricultural Finance, supervised the
class’ trip of inspection of the bank
ing' system of Houston.
The party left College Station

“On the Busy Corner”
Finds Right
Tobacco for
the Tropics
October 6, 1926
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va., U. S. A.
Gentlemen:
Most all well-known tobaccos smoke
well in a cold or temperate climate,
but very few in a tropical climate.
They are mostly too heavy, don’t seem
to be blended right—at least that is
my opinion gained from practical ex
perience.
However, Edgeworth is the same in
any climate. Again that is my opinion
gained by practical experience.
I cannot get the same pleasure out
of any brand of tobacco that I can out
of Edgeworth, and I have tried many
— and paid fancy prices, too. It costs
real money to smoke imported tobaccos
here; the import duty is very high.
Anyway, we cannot have everything
we would like in these countries, so we
hold on to all the little pleasures possi
ble. Now you know why I smoke
Edgeworth.
Yours respectfully,
R. C. Rigg
Cartagena, Columbia, S. A.

DR. DURANT WILL SPEAK BE
FORE LARGE AUDIENCE
After drawing record crowds in
most of the larger cities of the United
States, including Dallas, Will Durant
is reasonably expected to have one of
the largest audiences assembled in
College Station this year when he
speaks here on the evening of Mon
day, February 16. Dr. Durant will
speak on the subject of “Our Chang
ing Morals.”
Since coming into prominence as
the writer of “The Story of Philoso
phy,” Dr. Durant has written for a
large number of the magazines of the
day and has also made himself popu
lar as a lecturer. He is now on a
lecture tour which has done much to
bring him into popular favor. He has
drawn large crowds in the cities, hav
ing’ spoken in Dallas to the largest
audience ever assembled in that city
for a lecture.
Much interest has been shown in
the coming of the lecturer, both by
the student body and by people of
the adjacent cities. This affair is be
ing sponsored by the Science and
Social Science Seminar, and has been
approved by the entire faculty of the
college.
DEBATING TEAM
(Continued from Page 1)
The Affirmative was taken by the
California men, Messrs. Stewart E.
Strong and George Manchass; the
negative by Messrs. H. B. Boswell and
Leslie of this college. The debate
was held with a no-decision agree
ment.
The visiting participants, Strong
and Manchass were both eloquent
speakers, with a background of wide
experience as debaters. They are at
present traveling over the nation, tak
ing all comers on all questions, and
taking no choice as to sides on which
they debate.
Interest in this sort of contests is
growing on the campus and it seems
that our debating teams are develop
ing rapidly.
STUDENTS MAY PAY POLL TAX
(Continued from Page 1)
voting this summer as to the require
ments for their poll taxes. A tax re
ceipt from Brazos county would only
allow an absentee vote for the gen
eral election.
Any boy who has become 21 since
the first of January, 1927 is eligible
to vote without paying poll tax pro
vided he has obtained exemption cer
tificate from the Tax Collector of his
home county. All wh.o are older than
this are required to have a poll tax
receipt. This must be paid before the
last day of January 1928, to the Tax
Collector of the county in which you
reside.

To the Sweet Little Thing Back Home
Oh sweet was our parting kiss my
dear
Oh sweet was our last embrace
Oh sweet was your lingering tear
dewed smile
Oh sweet was your darling face,
You murmured in my ear “I love you”
Your eyes told me that you’d wait.
Your warm hands wandered through
my hair
’Twas the night I stayed so late.
You whispered that you would be true
As I forced myself to go
And your last fond words as I closed
the door
Were “Oh! I love you so.”
Perhaps you do—how should I know
The vagaries of your mind,
But this I’ve learned and learned right
well
Just what you are and what kind.
My room mate’s got your picture
You write to five friends of mine
The whole D company knows
you
And talks of your wonderful line.
Oh long may you flap little woman
And hand out your charming line
For nobody knows but the devil
Whether your line’s better than mine.
The Question Grows Interesting
I860: Are my pantalets visible?
1900: Does my petticoat show ?
1924: Should I pull up my slip?
1926: Can you see my knees?
1927: How do you like my gar
ters ?
1935: ? ? ? ? ?
