POOR RICHARD'S ALMANAC
If you'd be loved, make yourself amiable.
A true Friend is the best possession.
Those who are fearful, are hated.
If your riches are yours, why don't you take them with you to another World?
DON'T BECOME A FOSSIL
—iben franken.
Arthur Briabane, of the New York Journal, the editor who talks to two millions of people every day through the medium of his publication, made the statement in his address this morning, that "we must not fossilize after finishing school. We must continue to grow." Could any advice be more poignant?
And to win you must grow, and grow.
While in school we drive into the library, we read the magazines dealing with current events and their relation to affairs of the nation. We think in terms of economics, political science. As students in the University we are urged to keep abreast of the times; and we grow.
But you seniors, you students who are going out into the big, busy, overcrowded world. Will you fossilize or will you continue to grow? Tighten up your belt, take a deep breath, and go out into life with the determination to win the game.
THE LITTLE THINGS
There is a bond of sympathy between Lawrence and European people. The K. C. Interurban and world peace are both coming—sometimes.
They were walking up the Hill to gather.
"This is Thursday," he said, "wonder what show is on down at the Jitney. Nothing else to do in this burg."
"Have you written home lately?" she asked, "that might take a little of the time that seems to hang so heavy."
It's the little things that count.
YE SUCCESSFUL SCRIBE
12. Scribe
Were Thomas Jefferson alive today he would undoubtedly wish to be a Kansan. And he would select the capital of the state—Topeka—as his ideal city.
According to Jefferson's own words he, "would rather live in a country with newspapers and without government than in a country with government and without newspapers." Topeka not only has newspapers but its high officials are newspaper men. The Governor is head of the Capper publications, the Mayor of the city is Jay House or "Dodd Gaston" so well known in the Capital's Second Thought Column. The sheerf, L. L. Kiene, was formerly managing editor of the Topeka State Journal, while the chief of police, Harvey Parsons was the cartoonist on the Journal. Then, there are the state treasurer, state auditor, state printer, governor's secretary—all newspaper men.
Several other newspaper men of past days, are now holding down positions in various city cancities. Some are candidates at the primaries.
K. U. continues to lead the world in new ideas and inventions. The latest is a "smokeless smoker."
A VAIN HOPE?
Has the world and human nature then, changed so much since 18157 Arbitration is no new idea or experiment. It has been tried and tried again. After the downfall of Napoleon the powers of Europe formed a great coalition with just this idea of maintaining peace. And the coalition succeeded only so long as no discordant question arose. Nations are made up of human beings. One generation cannot profit by the experience of a former generation. The same thing holds true with nations. Idealists say that the nations of Europe will be worn out and disgusted with war that they will never wish to fight again. But so were they worn out a century ago. A new generation has come into being now who have not before this passed through the harrying experiences of war.
It is to be hoped that the idealists may be right in their hopes for the success of a board of arbitration. The exception may prove the rule for once. But if the student of history does not see hope for peace through a board of arbitration which has failed in past years, he sees a possibility for hope in modern warfare. Under the modern system of warfare decisive victory does not seem a possibility. This may be the rift in the clouds. If it can be truly proved that war can result in no victory, the result may be to abolish war. But the clear eyes of the student of history perceives that the abolishment of war does not result from a firm belief in the powers of arbitration.
If there is any money left after the senior memorial is bought and paid for, we respectfully suggest that the merits of the grocery bill be investigated.
PERSONALITY
What is it that makes one man a success, another man a failure, even though they have the same education, the same opportunities? Why is it two brother Phi Beta Kappas go out from college, one of them to become a power in the world, the other never to be heard of again? Why is it that an education does not necessarily fit one for life's battles?
That something needed by all of us, whether we be professional men, business men, politicians, or housekeepers, is "Personality." Without it we lack the ability to make the distinctive success of our life which we otherwise would.
College is an ideal training camp for such an accomplishment. Personality will add to one's happiness—and success.
Personality cannot be assumed. It must be developed. To some it comes naturally, but to the large majority it must be cultivated, cajoled, and catered to, before it becomes a part of them.

POET'S CORNER
10. About General Petain.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, essayist and phylacterian, was born at Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 29, 1809, and died at Boston Oct. 8, 1894. His poem, "Broussais" written in memory of the brothers, describes institutionalization, created so much comment, that the old ship was not destroyed, as had been ordered by the government.
THE CHAMBERED NAUTILUS
Holmes was one of the first contributors to the Atlantic Monthly, which published in 1857 when the first chapter of *The Breakfast Table* appeared.

Of course it isn't true, but there is a story going round to the effect that one of the fraternity's had a red lantern hanging in the front yard, and nine out of the ten editors who passed came in to stay all night.
Besides, it's been pretty near a month now since one has been installed.
Why all this objection to the new fraternity? There are still some boys who don't belong to any.

she work if those pioneers who laid
the foundation of Kansas as one of
the strong units of the nation. The
following passage from the story
gives a new idea of what pioneer
life in Kansas was:
that young Cole trucks brought his wife to Kansas. They were wise men, hearty people and they conquered the wilderness. A home sprang up in the elbow of the stream. In the fall long rows of corn-shucks trailed what had been the meadow. In the summer a field stood horse-high with corn. Professionals bluff, as the years flew by, the spencer nights, see the checker-board of the farm, where she kept, smiling in the sun. Little children frolicked in the king row and hurried to school down the green lines of the lanes where the hedges grow. Once a slow procession, headed a spring wagon, with a little black box the rows have been seen filing between the rows of the half-grown poplar trees, and out brown, stubble-covered prairie, to the desolate hill and the grave yard. Now neighbors from miles around may be heard coming in the rattling wagons across vale and plain, laden with tin presents, after which the little boy finds with lights while the fiddle vies with the of the frickling party, dancing with the wanton chops on the bluff across the stream.
There were years when theugent in the kitchen burned far into the night, when two heads bent over the table, figuring to make ends meet. There were years the gritish figure became bent, and years the fight faded in the woman's eyes, while the lithe figure of the man was grumelled by the rigors of the struggle.
It was thus that young Colonel Hucks brought his wife to Kansas.
WITH WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
Witter Bynner, the American poet,
whilst visiting the University recently,
mentioned William Allen White as easily the preeminent literary genius of Kansas. His "In Our Town" and "A Certain Rich Man" are famous the country over, but "The Home-Coming of Colonel Huck's" is not well enough known—even in Kansas. It shows all the rigors of early life in
There were days—not years, Bank God—when lips forgot their tenderness; and as fate tugged fiercely at the barbed bit, there were times when souls rebelled and cried out in bitterness and despair at the roughness of the path. In this wise went Colonel Hucks and his wife through youth into maturity, and in this wise they faced toward the sunset.
CENTRAL NEWSPARED BU
CENTRAL NEWSPAPER BUREAU
The Moyers who attended the
Mayors' meeting prepared
pressness in St. Louis recently
turned with many stories of
the people they met from the other
ities while in the Middle West. Interest
of those from Kansas City who at-
tended a conference seemed to be
centered in St. Louis, and the
Central Newspaper Bureau in Lawrence
for the purpose of increasing adver-
tising in Kansas papers, and boosting
the business of Kansas merch-
chant. The last Legislature of the
State appropriated an appropriation
$10,000, contingent upon the news
papers of the State raising an equal
amount.
The newspapers have just completed their contributions, and the bureau will begin work this month. The department will be handled by the School of Journalism at the versity of Kansas. The object of the bureau is to furnish Eastern manufacturers with information as to the needs of Kansas people, so that these can have space to the Kansas newspapers and the business of the local merchants.
When the manufacturer of an article plans to start an advertising campaign he can learn from the Central Bureau just what class of people would reach. If the maker of silk stockings wants to know how many Kansas women stockings or how many were purchased in the State last year, the bureau will find out, and also tell him how many pairs of silk stockings each county. The advertiser can then guided accord-ing to his judgment as to whether or not he will carry his campaign into that territory.
A manufacturer of a tractor engine, in planning some advertising in
several counties of the State, asked the newspapers to give him the information as to the number of farmers with sufficient land to make a tractor profitable and with means to buy one. He also wanted to know what other uses than plowing a tractor could be put to in their counties. Such information as this the Central Newspaper Bureau will gather and furnish to newspaper, and advertisers—N. Y. Time.
