HAD DEAN IN TIGHT CORNER
Really Little for University Official to
Do but Accede to Request
t Made by Youth.
Ix-fia T. A. f lark, at the Univer
hitv of Illinois, was in the midst of 1
j his difficulties as the dean of men,
when a young freshman was ushered
) into the dean’s presence.
Standing before the dean, nerv
ously swinging his green cap, the
“freshie” requested that he he per
mitted to make payments on his tui
tion for the first semester, instead
of paying cash in advance.
“What did you do during the sum
: ruer?" the dean demanded. Where- i
! upon the freshman replied that he
had worked, but saved little money. |
“That’s mighty poor business, my !
son,” said the dean, and added,
) “What line of endeavor were you
engaged in?”
“Oh, I sold brushes for household
i jse,” came the reply.
“Oh, you did? Well, I bought a
briit-h, gave a young man a dollar
for it, and never received the brush,”
>! stated Dean Clark.
“Pardon the suggestion, dean, but
that’s mighty poor business,” came
the youth’s reply, and the extension
on his tuition was granted.—Ex
change.
FAR ENOUGH

Native —You wouldn’t guess it
was fifty miles to the other side,

Nervous Tourist —No! But I’ll
make a rough estimate that the bot

Cotton Marketing.
The message of the cotton pool
will be told to the farmers of
nearly every cotton producing
county of Georgia during a spe
cial ten-day series of speaking
tours beginning February 27, and
ending March 8. Five men, each
of whom is known as an excel
lent speaker, and is known to be
well versed in all the ins and outs
of the co-operative marketing
system, will do the talking.
Three chief speakers are W. C.
Lasseter, editor of the Progress
ive Farmer: C. 0. Moser, secre
tary of the American Cotton
Growers’ Exchange, and J. D.

Each speaker will discuss the

each meeting the inadequacy of
the present cotton marketing fa
cilities will be shown, together
with the ways in which the co
operative marketing movement
I is expected to remedv all the ills
of the present system. i
