MONDAY, DECEMBER 9,1912.
Trust no one as far as you trust yourself—From the Chinese.
WAKE UP.
The University of Kansas Exposition—sounds rather ponderous doesn't it? But despite its bigness both in sound and reality, Kansans of the type that are here are capable of seeing it realized.
Tomorrow in chapel, the students put the official stamp of acceptance or turn-down on the plan. It has passed the faculty and has been endorsed by both student governing bodies. Unless the students prove mulish and unreasonable it will pass them unanimously.
Some are saying that they do not understand it. There's the point. Go to chapel and find out. Then wake up to the possibilities that it appears to the students and the University, and make your "aye" the loudest in the room.
"Gimme a light, got a fountain pen, lend me your pipe, slip my me gloves, how you fixed on change, lend me a quiz book, let me borrow your intelligence."—The College "Moocher" (male species).
"Have you a pin, let me wear your ribbon today, if I only had your hat it would just match my coat (Oh! you're so kind), you know I left my gloves at home, have you a hairpin? Thank you Birdie—The College "Moocher" (female species.)
AHEAD AS USUAL
The Cornell Daily Sun, through the attorney-general is advocating a bill allowing the students of colleges in the state of New York to send their votes home in matters of state and national scope. The students of Kansas could do it this year.
The Jinx is now after our holidays. Washington's birthday comes on Saturday.
YOUR TAG SIR.
Comes now the day of the football smoker, the one big democratic event of student life. There is where all meet on common ground to do honor to the season's gridiron warriors. There you meet more good fellows in a minute than you do at any other gathering of the social year in five. There you can be happy and contented in an unconventional atmosphere, and see stunts as no other entertainment produces.
Of course there is the cost to be reckoned with. In years to come the football smoker may be free but at present it is necessary to charge fifty cents, the price of ten "cokes." It is hoped that every student will find a way to procure the sum stipulated, even if it becomes necessary to borrow and pay interest. This admission will go toward the renting of the hall and the distributing of the "eats."
Remember, the chance to attend a football smoker comes but once a year, and that this is the last time the team and coaches will talk to you until next season. Remember
further that this is only the second smoker ever held, and that it should grow to be one of the dearest of Kansas' traditions.
Do your part as a real Kansan by being among the first on hand Wednesday evening. You will never regret it.
The Daily Kansan is perhaps the only daily paper in the state that has not urged the people to do their Christmas shopping early. There's a reason.
WAIT A MINUTE.
But she, kind-hearted soul, knows better, and unwilling to have the young man suffer she calls him again. He is almost exasperated, when she holds his water bottle up before his eyes. "It's boiled too," she adds, as he seizes it eagerly.
Place—Any student rooming house.
A student, dishevelled in appearance as if he had but lately arisen from bed comes down the stairs three steps at a time. He reaches the foot shaking himself into his coat while struggling desperately to keep three books under his arm. Clamping his cap tight on his head, he makes a头long rush at the door: He turns the knob and is about to begin his pre-any-thing-to-eat march up the hill to an eight o'clock class when his good landlady in an anxious voice calls to him:
“Mr. Stopper, oh, Mr. Stopper, aren’t you forgetting something?” Stopper hesitates. “Now let me see,” he muess; “do I have a quiz today? No; that’s not it.” And hastily he looks down at his clothes, thinking that perhaps he didn’t have everything on straight because of his great flurry. Everything O. K. “Guess I've got everything,” he says to his landlady and again starts off.
His eyes kindle with gratitude, and until five minutes of eight he pours forth soul-felt thanks and blessings upon her. Then he slips the bottle in his pistol pocket and starts blithely up the steep slope of Mt. Oread where dry lectures and dryer fountains abound, whistling all the while, "Dry Bones in The Valley."
NOT ONLY COAL
"In the spring of the young man's fancy," and so forth. And about the first week in December the young University man's fancy begins to center on those examinations by which he is to be judged. For some the outlook is sinister; to scarcely any, agreeable. And to urge a student that he should apply himself diligently between now and the end of the term would be insult to injury.
In a recent number of "The Creighton Chronicle," however there was an editorial entitled "Wasted Energy," the force of which is striking. It seems that out of many million tons of coal produced in the United States last year, about half the number were wasted. The editor intimates that if the test were applied to the time and energy wasted by students the coal figures would lose their significance. This may appear the wrong end of the term for talk about wasted hours. But at this time the problem is uppermost in the minds of no small group. That great horde of moments, not spent in real amusement, but frittered idly away—they would be such a comfort now! Other terms are coming, and other examinations. Why not take the lesson home at Christmas, reflect a bit, and come back with a little "efficiency" scheme worked out?—Daily Californian.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOY S
THE ILLS OF LIFE.
When anything happens in this world, we say it is providential, meaning it is intended for our own moment and discipline. We forget that events happen often for our punishment as well as for our correction. The ills of life are not all medicinal. There is such a thing retributive justice so necessary that life, its sufferings of the unpuny, are often meant to be punitive. They are sent as the rewards of their wickedness—Anon.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Closed and covered from our sight,
Many a rightly tinted petal,
Never looked on by the light.
Pain to see their shrouded faces,
The sweet buds at trifle,
Till at length the sweet buds open—
Such a bud is life.
There are buds that fold within them.
When the rose of thine own being Shall reveal its central fold, courage, marvel, Fearing what thine eyes behold; What it shows and what it teaches Are not things wherewith to part; Are not ways coastal Beatings at the heart.
Jean Ingelow.
COUNTY CLUBS--
WHAT THEY MEAN
The Central Organization of K. U. County Clubs is making its first appearance in the University, to be a permanent and living institution for the good of the University of Kansas. Some explanation of its purpose and plans seems necessary in addition to those set forth in previous articles in the University/Daily Kansan.
This Central Organization of the County Clubs in the University is an outgrowth of two movements in progress at the present time: the campaign for the Mill Tax for the State Institutions of Kansas, and the numerous County Clubs which are rapidly coming into existence since the action of the Men's Student Council upon the matter of county organization among the students. However the securing of the Mill Tax law in this state is not the final aim of the Central Organization. The primary purpose of this body is to provide University of Kansas with a completely organized and systematically working association of its students, by which the best interests of the University may be effectually promoted among the people in the state outside of the University.
The membership of this organization shall be composed of the presidents and secretaries of all K. U. County Clubs as the official representatives of such clubs in the Central Organization. The constitution, as it now stands for adoption in the hands of the committee, provides that "By two-thirds vote of all members present at a regular or called meeting, the president and secretary of any inter-county or outside state organization of students in the University of Kansas may be elected representative of the organization." The members will meet together as a council of the County Club organizations and take up such matters as concern the University's interests, which are of necessity to be carried out by the influence of students of this Institution among the people outside of the University in their respective counties and communities.
The efforts of the University authorities and the Student Council o secure a Mill Tax law has brought to the minds of those active in the work, the great need of such an organization. Chancellor Strong has for many years devoted his mental, oratorical and other persuasive powers upon students and legislators to secure sufficient funds for the support of our University, but the centralized character of these student organizations by counties makes possible the greatest influence immediately at the command of the University authorities. Any plans for a campaign or work on foot in the interest of the school can be communicated through the entire Organization composed of the heads of the unity, directly to the member, and thus secure a rapid and efficient execution of such plans. The two notable characteristics of the association are the immediateness of ration through centralization and directness of effect through a definite and complete organization.
Some of the more immediate and definite plans of the Central Organization are, to secure in at least one of the newspapers, and in as many more possible, in each county, an article on the Mill Tax question, and to give the people-one idea of the significance of their County Club in the University by informing them of the County Club's work at home as well as in the University. By delegating a student thru the central Organization of County Clubs to each paper in his or her country, the authorities may secure an article in every payer of the state, supporting such measures as the Mill Tax and others that are bound to come in the future life of the University. Plans
for entertaining the senior classes of the different high-schools over the state, for increasing the percentage of the students out of high-schools coming to the State University, and above all, to create a better understanding of the course content of the school and executed by the Central Organization of K. U. County Clubs.
Its next meeting is at 4:30 P. M., in Room 116, Fraser Hall, Teach the 10th, of December, and all presidents and secretaries of County Clubs are invited to this meeting as important business is before it for the coming holidays.

THE CHARGE OF THE HEAVY BRIGADE
Half a yard, half a yard,
Half a yard onward
Plunged the bold center rush,
Weighing three hundred.
"Forward the ball," he said.
No man was there dismayed.
Bady the ball was played;
Some one had blundered.
Theirs' not to make reply,
Theirs' not to do and die.
Theirs' not to do and die—
Follow the husky guy
Weighing three hundred.
Tackles to the right of him,
Tackles to the left of him,
Tackles behind him
Pounded and thundered,
Stormed at with college yell,
Over the line he fell,
He who had fought so well,
Came from the jaws of death,
Back from the mouth of hell
All that was left of him—
Left of the three hundred.
When will his glory fade? O, the wild charge he made! All the world wondered. Honor the charge he made. Honor the whole brigade. Honor the guy who weighed— Only three hundred. I. C. Davis is Post Dinahat

Is character best developed by the influence of the city or the country? This is the vital question which affords the theme of Clyde Fitch's last great play, "The City" in which Hugo B. Koch is soon to appear. With its intense dramatic force "The City" is conceded to be one of the most powerful plays of modern times. Without doubt it is the strongest play ever written by the late Clyde Fitch. The attraction is under the direction of the United Play Company. At the Bowersock theater, Tuesday, December 10.
