The Daily Kansaan aims to pique students' interest in the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the material on University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the material on University of Kansas; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students at the University.

Have you a little SALVAGE BASKET in your home?
WHAT THEY CAN DO AND CANT
Kansas crops must be harvested;
here is the K. U. Land Army, sleeves rolled up, looking the Kansas farmer fearlessly in the eye. Picture them, if you can, an army of women students, laboring manfully to save the golden grain.
True farm labor is scarse, the right kind of labor is. But to launch an army of untried women into the fields would not be considered even by the farmer himself.
Zealous patriotism and the lure of making big money, harvest hands will realize about eight dollars the day the summer, has exaggerated the attractiveness of converting University women into farmer hands. But doubtless the best reason for any K. U. woman to believe that she can be of eight or even four dollars worth of help to a harvesting crew is that she knows nothing whatever of farming.
Granted that many of our women students are from farms and are well enough acquainted with rural life to distinguish a pollstrap from a line, or a neck-yoke form a single-tree. Some of them may know even the details of all the harvesting machinery. Even so they are physically unfit to "carry on" a days work in the harvest fields. They couldn't stack or run a header, they might drive a barge. It would be exciting to keep the top-sided box from tipping over on every corner, and to follow the header round and round until the barge was filled. Imagine the young woman when she tried pitching off a load of bearded wheat.
If the K. U. Land Army is desirous of aiding the country let it exert its feminine strength on some tasks commensurate with the feminine strength and ability. If the instinct to till the soil be indomitable let them till a garden plot. The exercise and contact with a little earth will be of value to them. But it will be wasted time if this group attempt to do a work at which many men fail. Dont worry Angeline, if the farmer needs you he will call.
While she cannot toil like a man, woman of the K. U. Land Army may do useful and patriotic work in gardening, poultry raising, community canning, cooking for the farmer's wife, or she need not feel absolutely useless if she just continue making surgical dressings and knitting. Work at which she should be skillful if she is doing her bit right now.
Some women at food conservation lectures remind us of the expression, "you can lead a mule to water but you can't make him drink.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

First Company, Third Officers' Training Camp.
Camp Funston Kansas. March 16, 1918
My dear Editor:-
K. U. has her representatives at the 3rd O., T. C, at Camp Funston just the same as she has them every place where things are happening, no matter in what part of the world it may be. There are about five hundred student officers here, among whom are the following men who were at K. U. during my student days there: Harold Deloeban, Reed Golden, Bronne Jackson, William Boone, Raymond Cooper, Hugh Baird, Charles Strickland, John B. Franka, Samuel Barnes, and John Crego.
This third series of Officers' Training Camps was made up practically entirely from men already in the service and hence has been able to make a great advancement in training over them. This has allowed very high due to the fact that those not able to stand the pace dropped out early in the course.
The training is very liberal and includes many corues that one not acquainted with the army game would not imagine to be included in the curriculum. A student in order to make the highest type of officer should be the greatest leader ever born, should know law better than Uncle Jimmie, should be able to outwalk Payson Westen, know more about mechanics than Edison, be a better map maker than the entire staff of Rand Mnally, and outshoot Buffalo Bill; he must have more patience than Job, never sleep, and of course, now he must speak French. How many of us have approached this ideal will be shown about April 19th.
So my own squad room there are thirty students, of this number twenty-three are college or university men, representing sixteen different schools scattered across the United States from Colby College, Maine, to the University of Puget Sound. Practically every degree granted by a university is represented there. There are 12 different fraternities represented including Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Upsilon, Delta Upsilon, Phi Alpha Delta, and T. N. E. This is only one of the squadr rooms, all the others are similar. The fact is, seems as though we are continuing our study as heavily as if we worked hard in school as we do here we could take an A. B. in a year's time and a Ph.D. in two. I am also glad to state that an extremely small percent of the men that have fallen by the wayside have been colleague trained men.
Yours sincerely,
JAMES B. McNAUGHT,
Srt. Maior
RedCrossNews
The kind of people who are always having misgivings, according to George Ade, are those who oppose public improvements, will not buy tickets for the Chauquaau, and criticize the minister if he smiles in public. They are in the class with the Tories who feasted with the British while Washington's army starved and froze at Valley Forge.
"They are the small boxes, the two-by-fours, the gnats and the sand-flies, put on the earth to teach men the quality of patience.
"Are you anxious about the Home Folks? Wife lonely, inexperienced or worried? Kid brother or sister need advice? Rent due? Insurance paid? Sickness? Family need prophylaxis? The Red Cross Field Director at your camp will look after it. Tell him or your Captains about it."
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
The time has come to ignore them!
The time has come to act!
The men in campa see, big great
bald over everyone with the
folk wrist prints.
This is what the Home Service section is doing. Do you think that it isn't worth a lot in strengthening the moral of the men in service?
Serve and save—buy War-Savings Stamps!
POET'S CORNER
Do you think what the end of a per-
fet row
For the joy that you've followed the rule.
END OF A PERFECT BOW
When you come to the end of a perfect row
And you sit alone with your wool.
And your bosom heaves with a rhythm
and your bosom heaves with a rhythm
slow.
Can mean to a tired heart.
When you've dropped each stitch since you've learned to purl,
Well, this is the end of a perfect row,
and the end of a wavenet too.
Though it's for a man that is big and strong.
And you lost three more at the start?
briancy right, true
But tolling has rendered this perfect row
A nice piece of the knitter's art,
It will be pretty tight, 'tis true.
Hilltop Philosophy
And 'twill stand at the end, still strong and firm.
strong and firm,
When the whole thing comes apart.
A star in a service flag has five points. They are: bravery, obedience, loyalty, altruism, patriotism.

A student official need not be an officious student.
It seldom happens that two birds on a woman's hat are worth the bird under the hat.
A good grade in a college course of loafing and sliding is like the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Horace (nabsent)—Why did you leave them off?—Purple Cow,
A Thrift Stamp may be a small thing, but it can't be smaller than the heart of the man or woman who won't buy one.
It doesn't take an omniscient son to see the shortcomings of his neighbors; but to pick out his own faults, that takes an honest man.
A fake penny will do more good in a salvage box than in a gum slot machine.
The person who is eternally saying, "That's just the way I thought it would be," after the occurrence is past, will never be mistaken for a stellar prophet or even an intellectual Hercules.
Strange as it may seem, a sharp tongue doesn't make the impression most pointed things do. And this isn't because most person's heads are harder than wax, either.
It was visiting day at the hospital. The visitors were mostly old ladies, and one of them stopped at the bed of a Tommy and asked him a question he had been asked a score of times before, thus:
MENTAL LAPSES
A being is a mass of flesh and bones mixed in with a little mind and a few thoughts, but a human being is one that can associate agreeably with other human beings.
By a shell, mum," replied the hero.
"Did it explode?" queried the lady.
"No," answered Tommy rather bored;
"It crept up and bit me!"—Tit-Bits.
"How did you come to be wounded, my brave fellow?"
Two Irishmen were working on the roof of a building on day when one made a mistep and fell to the ground; the other said, "Are ye dead or alive, Mike?"
"Devil take it! That's the result of all the crew getting the Iron Cross."—Passing Show.
"Captain, the compass needle is most erratic. We cannot tell where we are."
Bashful Lover (still saying good-
bye in the vestibule at 2 a. m.)—
Your father is just coming in; what
shall I do?
Clever Maiden—Sh! stand in the corner, put your hat on, hold your coat and look like a clothes tree.—Punch Bowl.
"Well then I must be dead," said Mike, "for ye would never dare to call me a liar if I were alive."—Argonut.
"I'm alive," said Mike feebly.
"Sure, yer such a liar I don't know whether to believe ye or not."
