When the freshman issue came out
Mushing all over, I found that one of
Lanier's late satellites has been as
signed to the Job of perpetrating this
spam upon our readers. Young Sea-
graven exhausted half a eolumn in a
transparent panegyric upon this col
umnlst's effusive wit. From that fort,
rase of generosity, he lapsed into a
tirade directed at the. verbosity of
which he says 1 am guilty. And in the
very process of indicting me on the
charge of surcharging my style with
“Jaw-breakers," he turned loose. on
that innocent copy sheet words and
phrases that would throw my type
writer into total and permanent par
alyals. But possibly that was his
pc let—a take-off. My seeming to be

The Junior • Class has exploded a
theory of age-old standing. The opin
ion has been prevalent in college cir
cles that of' the four classes composing
a student body that the junior class'is
the most uninteresting; that the mem
bers of. that class have lost the vhn
and pep which they had as soph
oniores, but. have not yet gained the
stately bearing of seniors.
In other words,' the general impres
sion is that juniors are not interested
in school activities and hence manifest
a spirit of indifference and carelessness
toward everything in general.'
Behold the record of the present
Juniors, however, and see if they can
he accused of such! Rather than lind
ing them indifferent, it will be found
that not only are they on an equal
with the other classes, but in fact that
this class has garnered a majority of
the honors to which all the member:
of the student body were eligible!

Professor Pipe’s popular
illustrated lecture...
You can learn far more about tobacco
from old Prof. Pipe, than you’ll get by
studying every treatise ever written on it
For Prof Pipe is the world’s most eminent
authority on the subject... He knows
tobacco from plant to pipe!
Experiments with every known species
have convinced the Prof, that the one
perfect pipe tobacco is Granger Rough
Cut. . . He points out reasons for this
conclusion: (g) the Granger'grade Burley,
the choicest tobacco grown; (r) the Re-dis-
covery of Wellman’s mellowing method;
and (c) the Cut of the large slow-burning
flakes-.. ■
Prof Pipe proves Granger, by practical
demonstration—shows how it acts under
fife... You never saw tobacco bum so
slow, never tasted such cool, inik) mellow-
ness! The first pipeful is a liberal education!
You'll put your q, e. d. and capital o. x. on
G. R. C... and all your pipe problems will
be solved.. ..forever! ,
