Ches, . Payne, tells
great constructive work of
after the war. Profeaeor Payne
that Lincoln shared the view

Mercer is putting on s program of
athletics that will give us winning
teams and with the above named ad
vantage we ere expecting to have
a large number of stars. Few of the
men who have gone out from Mercer
will do more:in the way of construc
tive work or to send more men to
Mercer than J. H. Jenkins or Harvey
Cotta. .

BLOWED UP.
Poor little Ding Bat,
Sitting by the wall.
Cunning little critter,
But no chance to stall.
Might have cunning ways.
Beauty mjght be rare,
’Tis of little consequence,
She hasn’t bobbed her hair.

employed tu superintend the'work done
iu the plant. In'this manner those who
patronize the laundry' will be assured
ut getting work tkaj will please them
The laundry is run on strictly demo
cratic principle; work of the students,
for those students, and by other stu
dent*. It was established by , Mercer
students primarily to ears for the needs
of the student.
B. iL. Carter, J.-Wt Jones sad L.
W, Hardy compose the board of man
agers of the besinees. These students
are financing tho proposition and have
doae since the machinery was first
installed and the plant began opera
tion. These atndents are'putting their
best effort iiythe work and devoting
to the operation of ths plant their
faithful attention.
The price* charged are nominal and
in most eases are less than what the
students woald be called upon to pay
to outsider*. Work of all kind* is done
at the plant which is strictly sani
tary throughout.
Proceeds from the students owned
and student operated plant compose
the'funds used to pay the expenses of
iveral fellows through college. In
view of the fact thalt the seal* of
ptiecs set by the management is con
siderably lower than the rate current
among laundries of the eity and prices
charged by washerwomen, economy
hlons would seem to demand that the
students patronize the laundry.
A further-reason for patronizing the
laundry,- ia a reason which, it appears
would offer th* students pleasure in
giving thsir work to the college laun
dry. ,Aa above stated,' the profits are
being used by tho owners to pay their
expenses through college. Tho spirit
which should bs^ manifest, in the heart
of every' true-Mereeriyaa is that
spirit of willingness' sad desire to help
other. students. It’s a test of loyalty,
fellows ,,

Pity little Rosebud
She’s got no chance a-tall,
A nifty little creature
But style’s pinned her to the wall.
AJwayg makes goo goo eyes
But what’s so very shocking
In all her little life
She’s never rolled her stockings.

Failed in Latin, flunked in Math,
I heard him savagely hiss;
I’d like to find the guy who said
That ignorance is bliss.

. TO PARSE THE WORD KISS
This word is a noun, but it is us
ually used as a conjunction. It is
never declined, and more
than proper. It is not very singular
in that it is generally used in the
plural. It agrees with me.
—Crimson and White.
She: “Don’t stop me. Am I the
first girl who ever asked you if she
was the first girl you had ever kiss
ed?" —Judge.
SO. WHAT’S THE USE.
Weep, and'you’re called a baby,
Laugh, and you’re called -a fool.
Yield, and you’re called a coward,
Sband, and you’re called a mule.
Smile, and they’ll call you silly,-
Frown, and they’ll call you gruff,
Put on a front like a millionaire,
And epme one’ll call your bluff.
