buyer working for a group of mills
was sent to New York to watch the
cotton market and after a few days’
deliberations wired his firm to this
effect: ‘Some think it will go up, some
think it will go down. I do, too.
Whatever you do will be wrong. Act
at once.’
“Cotton is planted in the spring,
mortgaged in the summer and left in
the field in winter.”

general meetings and the group dis
cussions. Each general session op

at which Dean Charles E. Friley pre
sided, the boys were given a free show
in the Assembly Hall. Included in the
entertainment during the conference
were stunts by groups, songs, yells,
and a visit over the campus, through
the various departments of the col

official program, there was plenty of
entertainment with pillow and water
fights.
All of the boys had a good time and
a helpful time. The discussion groups
furnished instruction and inspiration.
Many of the boys were heard express
ing a desire to come back sometime.

Swating Song
Mary Mullins, lovely lass,
Had a fall and hurt herself.
Now she wears a skirt of brass—
Clever, scheming little elf!
Wasn’t it a horrid shame ?
Isn’t it a bit unkind ?
That this charming little dame
Had to land on never mind.

what made Babe Ruth famous.

ANY man who raises threshable crops
jL3l. can increase his earning capacity by
threshing his own and some of his neigh
bor’s crops with a Case steel machine.
Tie is assured of the highest possible
grade for his grain, which means a higher
price, because he can thresh every year
when his grain is plump, sound and of
good color. The Case steel machine
threshes fast, cleans the grain and reduces
dockage.
Being simple, light running and of large
capacity, it effects a great saving in power
and labor cost. This makes it economical
to operate.
The cost per year of service is low
because Case steel construction, developed
by years of experience, makes the machine
extremely durable.
This is Case efficiency, built into every
Case machine. This is why the earning
capacity of Case threshers is highest under
all conditions.
