The Daily Kaean aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students at UC Berkeley than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University has promoted to be clean; to be cheerful, to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise and to be witty. Loads, in oil, to serve to the students of the University.

WEAR THE COLORS
The wearing of the colors by every K. U. student should constitute one of the principal methods by which loyalty to the University finds expression. The crimson and the blue should be worn in some form not only on some appointed day during the present loyalty campaign, but one every eventful day in the years to come.
The war gave to millions of Americans a new respect for the flag. The crimson and the blue of the University of Kansas should likewise be made to hold a new meaning for the thousands who are now and will be its students. The appeal is to the sentiment, but sentiment is an honorable man of accomplishment. The colors should be worn. An understanding should be reached as to why, when, and where they should be worn, and this should be the duty of some K. U. organization during the loyalty campaign. A more acceptable time to revive a commendable custom will hardly present itself.
It is not a new means of showing loyalty. The method was once used on Mt. Oread. To take up the custom would be only to renew a sensible and wholesome tradition.
LOYALTY MEANS EFFICIENCY
An example of what K. U. loyalty is not, is the way the Sachae turned out for the North College clean-up Saturday. For some reason thirty men reported for work instead of 100. These thirty men made a good start, but the day's program was far from being realized. Something went wrong. Either the men were not properly notified, or it was a case of ruinous indifference.
The Graduate Club, which agreed to prepare a feed for the workers was on the job. It was prepared to do a great deal more than it did. The members had prepared an over-abundance of sandwiches. Some of these sandwiches which should have fed hungry workers, went to feed idy joy riders who came to the North College Campus, not to work, but to get some eats.
This brand of enterprise if persisted in will not only hurt the K. U. loyalty movement—it will kill it. If it was disinterestedness that caused the failure Saturday it must be realized that loyalty cannot be furthered by indifference. If it was due to misunderstandings the responsibility of th failure is only lightened—not removed. Neither can loyalty be furthered by inefficiency.
Loyalty means efficiency, and inefficiency is an alleged characterisitic of practically every student undertak
this year. Students and faculty members are still waiting to be solicited for the Red Cros, the Y, M, C, A, the Y, W, C A and the Roosevelt memorial fund. It has been said that there was nothing like a unanimous contributions in these drives because of inadequate organization. It matters not that the goal set was reached. The unanimity of contributions is as much an index to K. U. loyalty as the mere reaching of goals. K. U. loyalty should be 100 per cent loyalty, in the first and last analysis, is 100 per cent of efficiency.
ALUMNI WATCHING US
Nearly every day there is something in the front page of this paper about be alumni. They are either comingack to help support some big school $x$ they are sending their advice andongratulations.
When today's alumni was in school old K. U. meant something to them. Of course they had their factorial spits and their politics but when it came to K U. they were as one, working for one goal.
It is just that sort of loyalty that is bringing them back day after day to their Alma Mater. While in school they put own ounces of energy into making the school better. And now they come back to see if we are keeping on the traditions and loyalty that they worked so hard to preserve.
How is must humiliate them to find us slumping. We must not slump. In future years after we are graduated we will want to think of K. U, as the greatest university in the country. More than that we will be proud to know it snit it is a great school with a great spirit of loyalty because of us and not in spite of us.
Mental Lapses
Two men thrown together at a horse-show were discussing their adventures with the equine tribe.
"A horse ran away with me once, and I wasn't out for two months," remarked the man with the hilt. Lily hit.
"Why didn't you stop when I signal ed you?" inquired the officer.
"That's nothing!" replied the man with the bowel. "I ran away with a horse once, and I wasn't out for two years!"—Fit-Bits.
"Well," replied Mr. Chuggins, "it had taken me two hours to get this old fliver started, and it seemed a shame to stop her merely to avoid a little thing like being arrested."—Washington Star.

A Sunday-school teacher was questioning her class of boys on the strength of their desire for righteousness.
He: "I knew a woman whose naib turned white in a night."
"Why, Johnny," exclaimed the shocked teacher, "do you mean to say that you don't want to go to Heaven?"
"All those who wish to go to Heaven," she said, "please stand."
All got to their feet but one small boy.
"No, ma'am," replied Johnny,
promply, "not if that lot is going."—

NOVEMBER
Again is grim November here.
Gray skies, chill winds, fields bare
and brown.
No, not one song; the meadow will,
Shrunken, wanders, but is mute—
An ancient minstrel with a jute
And last leaves pudely shaken down
And not one song afar, nor near.
An ancient minister with a lute
Whose strings are broken, tangled
still.
The gardens ragged buggars are; Across the path lead gumgard weeds Ghostly are all the river-reeds, And coldly shines the twinkling star.
November takes his throne as one
Forsaken by the gentle race
Of heat; dark, anstur, his face
Repels the swift-retaiting sun.
Yca, he has chosen Death for god.
And for his queen the frosty Nigh
And for his queen the frosty Night
Disdainting all the laws of light.
He rules his kingdom with a rod.
And yet, eurekul! heroes have a bold
You dandelion! With bright shield
Lifted to heaven, it dawes the field,
Scouring the power of storm and cold.
In Baker, girls' athletics have been started both in basketball and hockey; the latter seems to have proved very popular.
And yet, eureka! here's a bold
On Other Hills
Brave flower! serving, it shall go down
Like Winkelried, pierced through
by neons:
Yet, dying, hand to after years
The hope that also is a crown—Laura

WE DEMAND A CHANGE
Now we are to exchange professors with some country or other. The trouble seems to be that they won't stay exchanged. That, however, is beside the point, which is why do we limit our exchanges to professors when we have so many students we might profitably exchange with any country, sight us to wit;
OUR INCONSISTENT ATTITUDE
Here is a fine inconsistency! We turn our boys and girls over to teachers and professors and say: "Hail praecopteores! You have chosen to take the hope of the future and give the children the skills, facilities. You are to create, from these boys and girls, men and women who can answer the call which comes from all corners of the earth for swift imagination, for clear thinking and right action. Yours is the most valuable gift you can give. And in order that your minds may be free to give the very best of their powers to the task, you will be paid a little less than a good brakman. You ought to be able to pick enough money during the long holiday when you are learning and your children from actual want. Of course, it will be impossible for you to send all your own children to college, but one scholar in a family will answer, and all the while you may be comforted by the thought of having your children are taking a share in building up the world which is denied to men of less altruistic but cannier turn of mind. God speed you in your task!"

Who would have thought that a person so noted as the Kaiser could have slid from the north-east to the south-west? The front pages in less than a year?
Bostomians seem to have a good alibi for not attending church. At least the ministers have fallen for it and are advocating a 5-cent street car fare on Sunday instead of the present, 10-cent rate.
Use Your Credit, says an advertisement. All well and good, but how to obtain credit is the question with most University students.
W. Y. Morgan has picked up the verb "to swow" during his last trip abroad, and he thinks it would make a fine addition to our vocabulary. As it seems to mean a combination of two things or itself "the place is apparently filled."
Some people use their eyes, others use their heads. And heads usually win.

ON KANSAS FARMS
A recent bulletin of the Kansas State Agricultural College says that in two of the richest counties of the state "fully one-half the farms are up to 30 percent" and that a total of 38.8 per cent of the farms are as occupied. In Nebraska a similar condition exists, estimates showing that only 50 per cent of the farms are occupied by their owners. In July, 1191 were checked up the assessors' returns on two townships of central Kansas, and 246 were checked up the best land in the state. It is doubtful if any farm in either could be bought today for $100 an acre. Yet in Jefferson Township the assessor report that fifty-three owners were operating farms and twenty-four Liberty Township with a large German-American settlement and many families who have lived there since the sixties there are sixty owners and forty-three renters on 103 farms. In that county the land agents say that over half of the landowners are twenty men seeking the lease.
With the average size of farms in the United States decreased in the decade ending 1910 from 146.2 acres to 138.1 acres and the proportion of tenants rising from 55.3 per cent to 37 per cent, the opportunity grows steadily less for the laborer. In a survey of 465 farms in Kansas it was found that rented lands are "almost invariably lower in fertility than adjoining farms tied by owners," and the report adds, "Agricultural policies must crease further the tenant's problem of making his farming operations profitable will be much more difficult."
"It is a shame and a disgrace," says Mr. Farmer, "that I have to pay twice as much for a mower or a cultivator and that my family is charged fifty per cent more for clothing than in 1914— something ought to be done about it."—Charles M. Harzer in The Saturday Evening Post.
When the farmer adds the increased value of his real estate to his other income he finds that he is making financial headway; while if a center he is handcapped, and no system of credit is available to the man with little means has been devised. Yet even under present conditions the tenant often makes a larger income than the owner, because of his small investment. Both are giving much thought to the matter of the reduction in the cost of living. Both owners of homes of importance and household supplies compared with four years ago.
