April 21, 1926. "To the Editor University Daily Kansas; "Dear Sir: "Enhance inquiries regarding the Florida number of the Sour Water District, and the University to make it adhere to a brief state statement." "The front cover, to which exception is taken, was drawn, because the girl bathing baby and sent to the enclosing room, before the cut was made. According to custom the cellar door, at York where 2800 copies of the book were printed by Chuck. Powell, meant for their advertising on the cover." "The covers were received at Lawrence by Sigma Delta Cut Publication during the Kansas Relay. The star found the announcement, to have had in its new office, a new address, and they would have missed the most advantageous date of September 19th, consultation with various Friends, including Chancellor William, the writer, the cover to which exception has been carried out. It is easy to see now that it was not good publicity." "A statement of the circumstances related above would probably have been printed in the Sour Owl itself."

Thornton Cooke Talks on Business Rewards in Life Work Series Speed of Advancement Depend on Honesty, Personality and Courage "One of the rewards of business that you can count on if you are successful is money. You can make a difference," Cooke, president of the Columbia National Bank of Kansas City, Mo., in his talk on "The Riacks and Rewards of Business," the fourth of a series of interviews given on the choice of a life work. "You will win honor too," he continued, "more than was possible a few years ago, for the business man who insisted on equal honor to the ones which any of you afford. This is probably due to the change in business ethics. The modern business man will not do the same as that he would do a few years ago." Some of the risks of business and the causes of many of the failures Mr. Cooke named were the unwide choice of partners, going into business with too little capital, advancing credit unknowingly, or with which one is not familiar. He estimated that 90 per cent of the failures are due to bad credit. Mr. Cooke said that in starting out in business the college student must begin on the same level with the person who has not had a college training. A knowledge of abbandh and the ability to run a typewriter, on adding machine and other office supplies, is essential. Help a great deal in obtaining one's first position, this being especially true in the case of women. Among the characteristics mentioned as being absolutely indispensable were adaptability, initiative, communication and power. Initiative, according to Mr. Cooke, is comprised of getting the facts together, coming to a decision and then acting upon the decision. Will power and a healthy optimism are essential for success. A man with only medicine ability," said Mr. Cooke. "Your speed of advancement depends on your personality. If one has a personality that is not titlum," he said. "Personality is something which is not entirely inherent, it is contextual."
