It has often been said that the business of Kansas is carried on to a great extent by capital from the eastern states, and that companies with large sums of money at their disposal, and with Kansas men behind them are hard to find. Although this may be true, we believe it will not be so in a few years. Our resources are being developed by the money and labor of the state. Our attention was drawn recently to the handbook sent out by a company in Topeka which is backed almost exclusively by Kansas men and has resources to draw upon amounting to over three hundred and seventy million dollars. As we run over the list of the Advisory board we discover the names of many prominent men of the state, among them some well known friends of the University. The book referred to is the report from the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Co. The stringent laws of Kansas governing insurance companies have evidently not come in conflict with the business policy of the company, for in the book, or rather the cover, is displayed a certificate from Webb McNall, stating that the company is authorized to transact business in Kansas. These laws amply secure all depositors. The rapid progress of the company in the last few years shows that the people desire to patronize enterprises of stable character promoted by home industry. The income of the company for last year alone amounted to over two hundred, eighty five thousand dollars. The report gives a good illustration of the increasing credit of Kansas financial and commercial institutions. We do not need to say that we hope the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Co. will be successful, for its books, submitted to the state authorities to be examined, prove that it is a success. We would attribute its progress as much to the integrity of the men behind it, as to the sound business principles upon which its affairs are based, What will the band do? This is the question that is confronting every band man at present. A large number of the members have seemingly lost interest since the football season and it has devolved upon a few to try to stimulate the bandmen to do the work necessary to have a good band in the University. What Will the Band Do? After laboring for more than a month these have almost given up in despair and the band's future looks most discouraging. During the short time the band was in its prime, it was a source of pleasure to all who heard it, and a great addition to the University. In times of need the faculty and business men of Lawrence contributed freely to the band fund. In justice to those who have given their assistance and who have the welfare of the band at heart, each individual member should do his best to advance the interest of the band and make it a success. Whenever a meeting is called let him be present. If he is not he has not done his duty, and is a drawback and hindrance to the organization.—A Band Man. SNOW HALL NOTES. The honorary fraternity of the Sixmi Xi met at Prof Bailey's on Tuesday evening.

The Civil Engineers have the honor of inventing a new game or amusement which seems to be grining popularity among their numbers. One of the chief attractions of the game is that it has not confined in its participants the boys of the department alone, but with true educational and progressive spirit, includes all the young ladies of the University also, indeed, gives to them quite a prominent and necessary part to play. The new game is one of the brightest and most humorous efforts ever produced on the hill and the young gentlemen should be congratulated on their success in its institution as an interesting and exciting element in University life. The game is simple and easily played and the necessary apparatus or sporting instruments few. Indeed, a plentiful supply of fine white sand, on the boys part, seems to be all that is required for its complete success. The boys' base is on the third floor near the stair railing and the girls at the register in the lower hall immediately below the boys' base. The game consists in its simplest form in the skilful deposit of sand by the boys on the upper base upon the heads of the girls below, but though this in itself seems simple and unexciting enough the complications and elements of courage and daring incident to the main play form the truly interesting part of the game. The object seems to be to throw the sand at skillfully chosen and opportune moments without being discovered by the opposite side. The skill acquired in this line is quite wonderful. Though the rules of the game have not yet been printed, it is supposed that where anyone allows himself to be seen he is immediately put out of the game. It would seem on first thought that the girls' part in the game is entirely of a passive kind, but this is not true. The interest and amusement for them is centered about the sand showers that patter on the books and papers during class and study hours and in the time necessary to get the sand out of the hair and in the effort made to remember to steer clear of the register, no matter how cold they may be, and in the formation of mutual admiration societies for the cleverness and great original humor of the opposite side. has always taken an interest in fostering manly sports, and though both figuratively and literally, it takes a good deal of 'sand' to play this game, the civil engineers seem to have enough of both kinds to insure its future. The account of this game may in part explain the increasing prevalence of the senior caps among the Senior girls. There i a movement now on foot to supply Junior, Freshman and Sophomore girls with caps resembling the modern sweeping cap which are to be hung over the register, to be put on while holding the base. A petition to the faculty to furnish these will be circulated, and it is hoped that a liberal response will be made. The University The girls wish to tender their sincerе thanks for the generosity of the boys in affording them so many elements of interest and excitement. The universal day of prayer for students was observed last year in thirty different countries. The day was ushered in by the early prayer meetings of the students in China and completed by the Christiaa students of the mid-Pacific. Y.M.C.A.NOTES. The World's Student Confederation recommends to all Christian students and the Church of Christ that Sunday, February 12 be observed as a day of universal prayer for students. The day has been adopted by 12,000 Christian students' societies with a membership of over 55,000 students and professors. Next Sunday it will be observed by the K. U. Christion Association. The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. will unite in a public meeting at North College at 2:30 p.m. Brun Hobbs, a prominent lawyer of Kansas City, Kan., and a former graduate of K. U. will lead the meeting. Special instrumental and vocal music will be furnished by home talent. By the hearty cooperation of the faculty and students let this meeting be made the beginning of a year of more active and powerful Christian work and deeper and wider interest in the higher life. Mr. Baird, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., led the K. U. Y. M. C. A., meeting last Sunday. The meeting was well attended and exceedingly interesting and helpful. Mr. Baird based his talks on "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He spoke of following Christ, in his prayer life, in self denial and in love. The talk was full of practical thoughts and apt illustrations. The constantly increasing attendance at these Sunday afternoon meetings is very encouraging to those interested in the Y. M. C. A. A New Fad. For the last few months it has been quite popular for large cities and famous places to have private mailing cards with some point of interest engraved on the letter side.

Papa—"Athen's, you mean, my boy?" Boy—"No, papa; Atoms—the place where people are blowed to." As a rule married women live longer than their husbands.
