FRIDAY. JANUARY 18, 1918. You will pay your honest debts all right—either with your money or your reputation. It will be a solid south, a solid north, a solid west and a solid east in this war. Now that Uncle Sam is running the railroads we hope that he will allow us to board the Rock Island in Lawrence. What we call an insult par excellence, is to get an offer from our friend the old clothes merchant of $8.39 for the best suit we have. If all mothers had given their children castor oil in whisky, every state in the Union would be bone dry by this time. COURT THE COOK For several months past the government has urged the conservation of foodstuffs, the people that every ounce of food wasted must be paid for by the sacrifice of life on the battlefield. Those articles on which conservation has been especially urged are meats, wheat, fats, and sugar. Most classes of people have responded very patriotically to this appeal and observe the wheatless and meatless days recommended by the Food Administration. These classes have shown the greatest patriotism and are doing their share to save the lives of the American boys who are going forth to uphold the honor and tradition of their country. But there are other classes which are disregarding the government's recommendations, and going on as they did before the war. One of the most notable of these classes is the most notable of these classes is the restaurant keepers. In Lawrence, however, the restaurants have recently pledged themselves to observe rigidly wheatless and meatless days. But with the Lawrence boarding clubs it is different. How students can observe wheatless and meatless days unless allowed to do so by boarding house keepers who set the table, is indeed a big question. In the campus opinion section today there is a communication from a student who undoubtedly voices the sentiment of many University men and women in the matter of food conservation. If the student finds that he cannot conserve without the cooperation of the cook, the reasonable thing to do is to ask the cook to cooperate. Perhaps the boarding house keeper is more anxious than anyone else to follow the wishes of the Food Administration, but hesitates to do so for fear that he will lose boarders. Ask your boarding house keeper to co-operate. You need not be ashamed of your patriotism. The nation is sending the best of her youth to battle, and it is time for those who remain at home to throw aside their indifference and unconcern and do their part to win the war. FOUR TRIED IT CAMPUS PESTS I HAVE SEEN BY LEACH Now comes the report of the punishment of four University students for cheating in class work. Two of these were freshmen who used unfair methods to prepare mid-term English themes. Each has been sentenced by the disciplinary committee to rewrite the theme and to take three extra hours of credit before graduation. If a University student is addicted to dishonest practices in school work, it shows that he does not have the right attitude toward the gaining of an education. Lessons and examinations are not things to be avoided, but are given to aid a student in mastering a subject. When one cheats, he but detracts from the efficiency with which he is shaping his future life. No student looks forward with any degree of pleasure to an existence filled with dishonest deeds. In order to shape the proper kind of a career, one should establish and follow high ideals while he is training for that career. In a week, semester examinations will begin. There may be an opportunity for you to cheat. It depends upon your character whether you will take advantage of it. A third offender was a junior who did the same thing in an advanced English course, and will be required to take one additional hour for a degree. The last one was a senior, caught in dishonest practices in an elementary French course. An additional hour will be required of him also. BY LEACH How will you meet the test? CAMPUS OPINION FOOD CONSERVATION Editor, Daily, Kansas I for one would be glad to eat rye bread or some other form of war bread three times a day not only on wheatless day but three times a day, every day. What can the student do who wants to conserve but who is not allowed to by the boarding house keeers? I have patronized several boarding clubs since the United States Food Administration began urging the conservation of wheat, meat, and sugar, but in none of them, except for the occasional serving of corn bread, was any serious attempt made to co-operate with the government. It has been piled on the table in what seemed to me a reckless disregard of the government's wishes. Editor Daily Kansan: One who wants to conserve. REPORT EXAGGERATED Editor the University Kansan: Like Mark Twain on the occasion of a false report of his death, I feel that the announcement of my having secured leave of absence from K. U. to serve the government, "has been greatly exaggerated." With other loyal Americans, I have registered for the service of my country in any capacity in which I can be most useful. When I am called I have no doubt a leave of absence from K. U. will be granted me, and there need no question of my responding to the call. Yours, C. W. White. REPORT EXAGGERATED FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED RedCrossNews Knox College was the first college o report 100 per cent enrollment in he american Red Cross. Cold weather certainly must put vim into movement. McCarty, Alaska, organized Tuesday, appointed a campaign manager Wednesday and reported 100 per cent Red Cross membership. Thursday. A fine of an extra dollar was assessed by Judge W. O. Mitchell of the Municipal Court of Oklahoma City so that the offenders could be made members of the Red Cross. Batava high school, Ohio, claims that it is the foremost of American high schools having enrolled under the Red Cross flag every pupil and teacher. "Not a man allowed on the street without a Red Cross button," was the rule of St. Mary's, Kansas, the last day of the Red Cross drive. At least three families of ten members each belong to the Red Cross in this division of the American Red Cross. Much has been said against the small town by sociologist specialists. Never has the small town and its ability to know all about everybody's business been so efficient as in the Red Cross drive. There was no escape—if one solicitor was unsuccessful the word passed on to the next—and if he had no luck the unwilling one was given to understand that he would be socially ostracized if he did not come across. MENTAL LAPSES —J. M. Heck: Yes, I have met your wife. In fact I knew her before you married her." "Yes, yes. Various people view it in various ways. Heard a lady at the drug store the other day insisting that druggist cash a Canada passport on the ground that we are now allies." Louisville Courier Journal. Peek: Ah! That's where you had me. What of me—I didn't_ Boston Trader's? Andy Foster, a well-known character in his native city, had recently shuffled off this mortal soil in desistite circumstances, although in his earlier days he enjoyed financial prosperity. A prominent merchant, an old friend of the family, attended the funeral and was visibly affected as she watched him on his old friend and associate. "Well, the war brings new alignments." The mourners were conspicuously few in number and some attention was attracted by the sorrowing merchant. "The old gentleman was very dear to you" ventured one of the bearers after the funeral was over. Like molasses taffy, made from rich New Orleans molasses? If you do, you'll like Wisdemann's Molasses Taffy—Adv. "Indeed he was," answered the mourner. "Andy was one true friend. He never asked me to lend him a cent, though I knew that he was practically starving to death."—Harpers Magazine. A TRUE FRIEND Send the Daily Kansan home.
