Many Activities Planned For Weekend Before Finals
The coming weekend is the last one before finals and it looks as though students are taking advantage of this to have one last fling. Dances, dinners, and a skating party are on the slate for tomorrow night, but the trip to Topeka on horseback by some of Mr. Mott's equitation classes must not be forgotten.
This trip to Topeka will start early tomorrow morning and students will return by Saturday afternoon. Better weather than that encountered last fall on the trip—when sleet and rain pommeledriders, is hoped for. Saturday another dance and a chicken fry are scheduled. Most of the weekend activities are outdoors with many picnics in every spare field or meadow.

King Cotton Reigns In Wartime World
Women's wartime stockings are a far cry from army camps, geographically speaking; but if the family trees of some of the materials that make up both were analyzed, their relationship through King Cotton would be firmly established. For the same cotton threads that go into those cotton mesh hose that your friends wore with their tweed suits this spring are also doing girl friend
friends wore with their tweed suits this spring are also doing overtime duty in your cousin Joe's army camp.
From the time that Joe was drafted, he began to live and move in cotton. The first morning Joe was awakened at 5:30 by the bugler he probably washed his face in a folding cotton basin or bathed in a collapsible tub and dried himself on cotton towels. If he was initiated into the royal order of kitchen police immediately, he was surrounded by butchers, bakers and cooks who wore durable white cotton fabric uniforms. The potatoes that he carried that day were probably wrapped in cotton bags.
When Joe's orders of the day included detail duty, he wore the overalls and denim cap that were issued him at the reception center. Cotton For Outings"
As soon as Joe began to get the drift of what was going on, he was doubtless assigned to field duty. The cotton pup tent, the rubberized cotton poncho, and his sleeping bag covered with waterproof cotton fabric were indispensible in the "outing."
When Joe finally stumbled back to camp to live the normal life of a soldier, he "put up for the night" in cotton underclothes and slept in a cotton-stuffed mattress covered with cotton ticking. Under his bunk or behind it, were the two cotton barracks bags that contained his
girl friend's picture and the other small articles he was permitted to have.
Cotton In The Rain
On Saturday afternoon, Joe put on his uniform of combed twill to make a good impression on the girls at the U. S. O. in town. The material of this uniform is considered so good that the Australian government decided to outfit their soldiers in it.
In case Joe spent the next weeks doing guard duty in the rain, he was protected by a specially treated cotton rainycoat. As soon as the rain was over, Joe folded the coat into a bundle about the size of a tobacco pouch.
The day Joe was promoted to private first class he sewed a cotton stripe on his sleeve. If with his promotion came orders for Australia, he received a new cotton outfit. Even the combat kit that was issued him was cotton.
Hospital supplies, machine-gun belts, camouflage nets, powder bags, flotation gears and a dozen other things that Joe uses in the game of war originated in the cotton fields of the "deep South."
