! rooms, has been postponed until after

The following verse from the pen of
/ Carolyn Wells, and published in
Life" represent pretty well the atti-
tude of some of our own townspeopIe
in their efforts to help the soldiers
A boon the soldiers are to me,
With joy to them 1 send
Ola magazines and books, you see,
And papers without end.
This Care of Children'I can spare
And just well as not
They can have that old Bible there
That fine print polyglOt.
Then here is Hints for Losing Weight;
And now-just let me see
The date is '93.
oh, here's a row of funny books
! Well, l won't touch that shelf:
They re full of stories, by their looks,
I'd like to read myself.
Here are some records, old, I know,
But they'll like any song.
And these nice games must surely go,
Tfddledy-winks, ping-pong.
These playing cards will make them glad!
They sticky. I'm afraid
But in our club we've always had
Caramels while we played.
There! I've worked hard those boys to
please.
And so send such things as these
And feel I've done my bit.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who lately entertained a distin-
guished man of military circles at
dinner in her home. AS he was leav-
ing, she decided to forestall the ordi-
nary compliments about the dinner
and the good time, to make sure that
| the visitor didn't say, THANK YOU for
the happy time" or n have had a
charming evening" So she took
matters into her own hands, She said,
Now don t say the usual banal
things about the good time you've had
this evening. You are original-you
are genius-now say something diff
ferent this time"
Very WE'LL he answered. Madame,
I have had a h of a time
And I'm d-n glad of it," the wom-
an came back Just like that.

! been discontinued at K. U. because

the football announcements, and the
long meter doxology
