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.

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.
