FARMS NEED ALL MEN NOT CALLED TO COLORS
Kansas Council of Defense Asks High School and College Students to Volunteer
The Kansas Council of Defense has sent out a call for college and high school students under conscription age to do work on farms, J. C. Moehler, secretary of the Council, has written letters to teachers asking that they send him names of such students who desire work on farms.
"The call to the colors" said Mr. Moehler, the unusual industrial conditions will reduce greatly the number of men for work on Kansas farms this summer. Even with our small wheat crop, there promises to be a demand for farm workers that must be met in part by high school and college boys below conscription age. This is their chance to play a man's part. The work is patriotic, healthful, remunerative.
"The Council of Defense earnestly requests that you list the name, age, experience, and home address (arranged by counties) of every student living and able to do farm work, and who has not arranged for such work.
"Demands for help are going unfulfilled now and the need is urgent, especially for hands in caring for the first cutting of alfalfa, about ready for the mower. It is suggested that a teacher with a borrowed team and a few implements could give those boys who have had no farm experience some idea of their usefulness in a few days."
Dale-Janney
"Students who desire work on farms this summer and have not already arranged for it should report at once to the Registrar's office," Registrar George O. Foster said this morning.

Why Grind and Sweat
Stew and Fret—Exams
Ixorabley and relentlessly "they" are coming on, Senior petitions and public opinion to the contrary. Along with rice, old shoes, wedding rings, fatal ladders, unlucky Fridays and thirteens, we have unrestricted this relic for us. When we do speak, you ask? Why? Of final examinations what else?
Final examinations have been variously considered—as a disease and as a remedy; as a means and as an end; as a necessary evil and as an unmixed condition; as a complication; as a relic after due and careful consideration of the values involved.
"I'd just as soon have a week of finals as a week of anything else," says the student with the strong nerves, the steady preparation and the same on quizzes as in regular recitations and wherefore the gain?
"I'd just as soon be dead and have
it over," moans the nervous student, who gets along nicely during the semester when there is no strain. "I'll be a wreck for a week after they are over." What does it profit a student whose his quizzes and loss his own nerves?
"Say, I certainly want to sit next to you tomorrow," says the lofer to the grind. "I can't be bothered flunking and there is never any time to study." Why the emphasis on a grade when the lofer embezzles his?
Still, perhaps four and a half months is too short a time for a professor to become acquainted with the student. It is so hard for a student to judge.

Orders for a war strength company have just been received by Ambulance Company No. 2 with headquarters at Kansas City, Kansas. Accordingly, the company will consist of 150 men, equipped with motor ambulances.
Certain service has been promised at an early date, and this service will be one that is purely helpful and not destructive. It is a service that calls for an uncommon type of nerve to function, as characterized by this reason, it naturally makes a stronger appeal to college men than any other class of people.
For Further Information See CHET THOMAS
The company now numbers about 100 men, being made up of the best material possible in Kansas City. More than half of this number are graduates of high schools or representatives from universities, — a number of men from Manhattan. Ottawa and K. U. are already enlisted!
The service of the Ambulance company is in conjunction with a field hospital company, performing the duties of giving care and amending the wounded to the field or base hospitals.
