County Clubs at K. U. To Get Organization Perfected By Christmas
President Glasco Asks That Al Negligent Counties Organize Immediately
Jap Glascar, president of the County Club Union, reports increased activities of that organization are to commence in the near future. A few of the county clubs have been slow to organize, and on account of this, action of the entire organization has been greatly delayed.
Most of the negligent counties, however are being organized, and it is expected that during the Christmas holidays much work can be done toward securing certification of the local government amendment to the Kansas constitution.
During the Christmas vacation most of the county clubs expect to reach residents of their own county through banquets and parties. This plan was followed in during an annual event at a church and during an excellent way of stirring up enthusiasm.
President Glasco asks students from those counties that have not organized to do so at once and appoint a delegate to the County Union. Mr. Glasco feels that more girls should be appointed as delegates as they can work among the women students of the University.
Students from Greenwood county organized last night. The following officers were elected: Willard Glaser, president; Myrna Summa, secretary; the secretary and treasurer; Helen Peffer, delegate to the County Club Union.

"This is one of the most valuable pieces of information that I have received so far," said Chancellor Strong this morning, "and I hope that it will reach the many students who are undecided about enlisting before December." He added that a work of a technical nature which will be "valuable to the government in the war will be assured consideration because of their training."

Basketball Spirit Runs High With New Men Out
The Varsity basket ball team with Scrubby Laslett out at guard again looked better last night than at any other time this year. Coach Hamilton gave the freshmen a lead of ten points and the varsity overcame it in the first few minutes of play. The final score of the short scrimmage was 14-8, the victory of the team as usual. The team work was better and the play faster than at any previous time this year. Miller led in baskets scored.
An amusing feature of the play, however, came when the second string men scrimmaged the freshmen quintet. The score was tied most of the time at 0 to 1 or 2 to 4. The men played mostly mass formations. Both teams had excellent interference, but hard tackling caused the game to be replete with fumbles. Davis, a football player, was out for the first time last night. He is an old Central high school player and proved to be a fast man on the floor.

Bees Make Hybrid Pansies
bees Make Hybrids Panther.
We would have thought that humble plants could make snails could be called essentials to pansy raising? A man up in Oregon claims this to be a fact. He is a professional and has fifty acres of pansy plants. The bumble bee is the only dependable pollinator, and if it were not for his lazy habits there would be no hybrids. If he had planted plant's preserver, for one of his choice occupations is eating the little slugs that infest the plants.
