The college man who has no public spirit while in school very seldom acquires any. On the other hand, the student who takes a living interest in a class spirit, societies, college publications and organizations will, with reasonable certainty, be the same leader in political, social and religious life after leaving the university.—Mail and Express.
Until personal journalism is exterminated from college papers, the college press will never take a position of importance in the newspaper world. By personal journalism of course we mean violent attacks on other papers and colleges, slanderous statements, and accusations such as mar our daily papers at present * * * Such work lowers the tone of a paper and makes it lose its dignity.—The Stenton.

The editorial writer on the Argo Reporter was in hard luck last week. He called upon Macaulay, Bulwer Lytton, the State Temperance Society, and as a last resort was obliged to scrap with the editor of the Lawrence World in order to fill his space. The World man is an independent fellow and will get the best of the Argo if the trouble continues.

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.
Chinch Bng Station. Figures of
Cancellor Snow's Work.
The second annual report of the chinch bug experiment station is just out and being distributed over the state. Chancellor Snow has operated for two years with $3,500 and has accomplished wonderful results. The report this year contains statements of results of diseased bugs sent out and accounts of the work as seen by field agents, and the following summary is given:
During the season 3,000 requests for infected bugs were received, of which number more than 3,000 were from Kansas farmers. In every case where the application was accompanied by live bugs (a condition obviously necessary in order that the infection boxes might be kept stocked) infected bugs were returned. Resulting from these 3,000 applications, reports were received regarding 1,732 field experiments Of these 1,732 experimenters, 196 report a failure to drive the infected bugs a trial for various reasons; the results for 120 cases were doubtful in the minds of the experimenters; in 372 cases no successful results were obtained; and in 1,044 cases infected bugs were believed to have been used with successful results. Thus 67.9 per cent of the experiments regarding the outcome of wich reports were received were successful. 24.3 per cent were unsuccessful, and 7.8 per cent were doubtful. In making these percentages the "no trial" reports were of course excluded.
Of these 1,044 successful reports, 383 include specific estimates of crops saved by the experiments. The sum in cash value of these estimates is $39,481.15. If the average amount may be fairly applied to the remainder of the 1,044 Xanas experimenters, an aggregate saving of $107,615.52 may be estimated. In the two years 1891 and 1892, during which the station has existed, an aggregate saving of crops amounting in cash value to $300,925 52 is estimated.
Infected bugs were sent to eight states other than Kansas, and also to Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Reports were received from 216 experimenters in these states and territories, of which 153 reported successful, 7 doubtful, and 40 were unable to give the infected bugs a trial.
TEH January number of The Agora, the Kansas magazine published at Topaka by Crane & Co., and edited by T. E. Dewey, is now being issued, and the table of contents seems the strongest yet presented. The frontispiece is a portrait of Hon. E. F. Ware, the Kansas laureate and lawyer, followed by some of his verses. Mesdames Johns, Moore, Lease, Ware, Carruth, Todd, Grubb, Belleville-Brown, Humphrey, and Brown, tell whether or not Kansas women want to vote. Col. H. L. Moore, writes of Shakesere's best drama. Judge Guthrie continues his historical recollections. Dr. Wynn reviews E. W. Howe's last novel. J. D. Bowersock gives a business man's idea of Shelly Mrs. Lesse prophesies about unfinished creation, and Col Phillips protests vigorously against the "young crowd." The poetry is contributed by Etta Manschkart, Ezra Porter Chittenden Thomas William Heatley, Carl Brann and Francis Joseph Lange.
