mary, in a discussion before the Mus
ic Teachers National Association,
at the thirty-fourth annual conven-
ton at Vassar College.
Now this amendment to the husky
cry of 'Rah, Rah." and the supplement
tai rhythmic addendum, shouted in joy
Gus disregard of tune, If not Of time,
may appeal to the aesthetic sense
Yet il is doubtful if the true college
spirit will be reached If the chorus
on the bIeachers, or those watching
from the goal posts Of the starting
launch, are willing to atune their
hoarse cries of get away and good
luck, fraterna1 encouragement and
almost demoniacal demonstrations Of
delight over victory, to a set form of
bass and treble cleft, two-fcur, or four
four time
If these cries are to be, through
the necrOmancy of a music master,
made a symphony in G flat or E
minor, then it is doubtful if the real
spirit Of the college yell will be
maintained
Few can sing-aH can holler. Man
can paint with the broad swathe Of
| the barn decorator. But the strokes
grow weak under the guidance of the
| artist in water color or pastel, who
| lays down principles which but a few
| can grasp.
| So if the real spirit Of sport is to
| be encouraged and enlivened let boys
and girls too, yell as they wish in
any key, major or minor, harmonious
only in the desire to spur their own
college to victory

FOR MUSIC IN COLLEGE YELLsl

Isn't that lovely, There is a plea
issuing from one of the college CEN
tiers for the use of harmonious tunes
in college yells, instead of the ear
racking and head splitting discords
now in use This prayer was made

THE FUNCTION OF THE BEAR.

The FUNCTION OF THE BEAR.
In the cleanup OF wall street me-
thods now being attempted through a
Congressional committee, a great deai
of very dirty linen has been hung
out On the line Not even the gold
dust twins, the Bankers and the Brok
ers, will be able to remove the spots
therefrom.
melee known as the Bears comes in
for a lot of public execration, and
often deservedly. 1t is their function
to persuade the innocent and confid
ing public, that the securities for
which they have paid good hard mon
ey are not worth anything like what
they gave for them. Often they are
able to convince the public of that
fact, and they roll UP fortunes like
snoWballs out of the more or less
groundless fears. Of the element
known in stock market parlance as
the Lambs.
At the same time let it be remem-
bered that were it not for the Bears
the American people would be in po-
session of the finest lot of high
cost bubbles into which hard work
ing people ever invested their say
ings.
Every town in the land has its
men OF the promoter type, who are
always attempting to work off .schem
eS for Incorporating and capitalizing
new companies. There are corner lots
on the wind swept prairie, residen,
tai suburbs in miasmatic sWamps,
mines consisting of a prospeotor' s
noe in the ground, factories built
on paper, any one Of which offers a
sure road to wealth if you will only
part with your good money for those
handsomely engraved certificates.
A certain proportion of these schem
es get past the promotion stage, and
get listed ON some stock market. Ev
cry once in so often the Bear makes
his harvest out of these fakes, a grist
of which is always ripe and ready fon
the killing.
1t is the Bear who sees the dan
gers and the difficulties in the way
of every big enterprise, and of the
commercial fabric as a whole, and he
makes his profit by calling public at
tention to these risks. 1t is an ig-
noble office. But if every investor
would perform it for himself, he can
save the vast toll that now goes, an
nually to the Sock Market Bears,
who make their annual or monthly kill
ing in the grisly slaughter house of
mems business dreams

Sugar is a product of manufacture
mainly from the farmers sugar cane

sugar is produced from the sap of
the sugar maple--the entire value OF
that product, both sugar an6. syrup,
and the sorghum syrup, being only

The 1912 product aggregates 100000
