We Can Make Plenty Of It Our-selves Here On Earth

Mon. Feb. 16—"We don't have to die to go to Hell, we can make plent-ty of it for ourselves here on earth,” was the squib around which Prof. G. N. Boone centered his thot in chapel this morning. "We, like the drunken man with limburger cheese on his mustache, may think that this whole world stinks. One should look nearer at hand. Be not de-ceived. God is not mocked; what so

over a man seweth, that shall he also reap. We cannot break the laws, but, we many trespass against them. It lakes a long time to build a reputation. but comparatively short time to destroy It."

Professor Boone continued by saying: "If we keep our Instruments In tune we will produce a beautiful melody. If we cannot make fine music, perhaps we like Rastus who beat the drum very loud, can drown some bad music. Instruments are not tuned from one another, but from the piano. We should go to the fundamental source—-God—to turn our lives.

Perryton, Texas. Feb. 17—Its a far cry from the romantic atmosphere of the Blue Ridges to the busy, heartless marts of western trade but the change is made and the cash register sings a happy little refrain of "Dollars and Cents.-’ 1. taken "cents" to make dollars and "sense" to make "cents." By the above statement the writer means to convey the fact that she has en-tered the field of the grocery bust-ness and she doesn't carrot all if trade turnip good.

The business world is certainly a battle field and there is no quarter in any corner — only nineteen and thirty-nine foes thru and which combined with the ever lasting cut-throat struggle with the chain stores. Head-arson certainly knows there of which he speaks and It la mild to the sentiment which the private ‘owner becomes aware of when his prices are cut by "This Store" and that "Chain Store". The motto of independent grocers has to be "Cash If you can. If not carry accounts."

The team left the campus last Monday on their eastern trip and will be home again sometime tomorrow.

One of the trials of a grocer is to follow a female all around his domain while she asks the price of every item and wants to know If this brand of soap is an good as a brand you never heard of and it is quite cheering to know that this brand Is much cheaper than that which you carry—than say that she really didn't want anything she was just looking. Egad! The life of a grocer Is bard and he may have his reward in the haven or bankruptcy.

The pass word of one grocer to another Is "Business Is Rushing”— that Is rushing to sell to a customer before he gets away. In the east a customer will come In. buy what be wants and leave.

THE PRODIGAL EGG

An egg of humble sphere By vain ambition stung

’Tis needless to dilate Upon a tale so and ;

The egg. I believe to relate.

At last when old and blue

She only said. In fun,

Some campus organizations, like some Ideas, are short lived. It is often that idea become overburdened with use and are soon extinct while other ideas gain strength and form into something useful not only to a select group but also to the student body as a whole.

Student minds are evolving around now Ideas. Old Ideas are becoming obsolete and progress Is demanding that new ideas come in to take the place of those that no longer function properly.

A number of organizations upon the campus have disbanded to make way tor some newer means that has not as yet made Its appearance. It Is imparative that these changes are taking place. The Forensic club, an organization upon the campus that at one time held great favor among the students, Is now dissolved. A picture of its would-be members will not appear In the yearbook this year. The Forensic club is an example of the change of ideas and pleasures. A number of years ago the College had a number of literary societies. As they dwindled down to nothing and finally disappeared the Forensic organization came in to take their places, and It has met Its fate In like manner.

Not only has the Forensic club but also the “Pep” band. the Cecilian Music dub, and at the present time the College orchestra is having a hard time to exist because of a lack of membership. However, one new organization has come in—the International Relations club to institute a new era of student organizations and student life. But the International club is in conjunction with definite class work.

We have yet the Y.M.C.A., and the Y.W.C.A.. the Thespians, the World Service group, the W.A.A., the Glee clubs, the "M” club, the Chorus group, and: the Chemistry society. None of the above mentioned organizations have as their main purpose to promote, encourage, lend, direct, and execute a social program within the student body, moaning of course the enjoyments of life for fulfilling student entertainment. A mingling together of students brings about a definite social understanding and wholesome friendship. The social life is a great part of a college education and R cannot be allowed to lag in its force or significance. A social organization, purely social In Its nature, at this ttime would be beneficial in binding together the students is a closer unison for better cooperation.

HOW STRONG ARE THE COMMUNISTS?

Nearly every day it Is common for one to read in daily newspapers of some now outbreak or demonstration made by the Communists some place within the bounds of the United States. The public is fast becoming alarmed over such instances that In reality hold only a tepid significance, on the whole, to those who thoroughly understand the circumstances.

In the larger cities, where the activities of the Communists are most extensive, a man may run into the street and begin yelling at the top of his voice and soon he will have a large crowd of tentative listeners around him. who have stopped merely for the sake of curiosity. The man who did the yelling may have nothing to say, however, hut he has assembled a "crowd.” The Communists have grasped this bit of psychology In an endeavor to gain bearings. A small band of Communists will start marching down the street exhibiting massive banners that at once form an attraction tp those unconcerned. As the small band of demonstrators continue to march in true. Coxy fashion other people soon begin to tail in with them and before many blocks hundreds or even thousands of men and women are on the trek.

The public calls such a demonstration a "Communist demonstration" when in reality more than per cent of the marchers are non-members of such a party of agitators. A tew prominent authorities upon the subject have made estimates as to the extent of the Communists within the United States. One authority has given figures to substanciate his belief that there are only 150,000 active Communists In the nation. Another has placed the figure as high as 500.000, with the modification that a large per cent are not active members but who have pledged their support to the Communist movement without any forethot of any kind. The Communists have what they call a "standing" or "active” membership which is usually fairly stable, with no decided increases or decreases. Again they have their "mass” membership which Include those secured by means of the control of a few over great masses.

Communism. Is the decided change from the present status of capital and labor by means of peaceful methods but seemingly In a revolutionary manner. As long as no growth Is made is the radical party one has no right to fear public reactions to Communist demonstrations.

A CLASSY ADVENTURE

Early one fine morning when the sky was still Rosy, six girls set out; from McPherson College for some fun, . They had gone but a short distance when along came a Hudson, The dirver leaned out and shouted, “D’yer wanter Walker ride?"

“ We Wil(bur) be Glad(ys) to ride."

“Then Plye Into this Car(ney)."

It was rather a Jam(ison) but they were Abel(dt) to get in. The car began to buck and Teeter with the load, "Ida soon ride a Campbell," said one girl. They drove through a pleasant Lin(dell.) and started up a Hill at a Ruth-less speed. They tore over the top and downward when a strong Gustaf(son) wind threw! hem off the road, broke a Hub(bard ) and well Ny(quist) went over a small Cliff(ord). One girl broke her (Ch)ristina hurry.

A man ran out from the nearly Barn-y-ard and shouted,. "I don't know Hoo(ver) you are, but I'll see if Dr. Harry Zinn." The doctor fix-ad them up so that each girl can Turner head, but the Bill was high.' Each girl went into the farm house; and ate Rice pudding while they waited for some men to Jack up the car. Their return was safe. Now each girl Betts Her(bert) injury was the worst, but all are kind of Hayes-y about their adventure and don't care for a w-h-itmore of the same type.

Now that we have seen the faculty can act on the stage, we ''Spec” that they must have had a good time when they wore a little younger and that they were good sports to lot us see into what their past must have been.

One must he a friend to have friends. One must not be selfish, but must he willing to give some-thing in return for the other fellow’s frindeship. the speaker asserted.

We don’t know what the Idea of the faculty was when they came down rom the stage to sit with the students during chapel. Maybe It Is that they want a rest from continuously looking Into the faces of their subjects as Moses did when he read the ten com-mandment.

COACH BINFORD HOST TO BASKET BALL TEAM

See Motion Picture Of K, U.— Aggie Football Game

Thurs.. Feb. 12—The basket ball team was entertained to a dinner tonight at the home of Coach Melvin J. Binford on, College Hill. As a special treat Coach Binford took the team to the Junior high school building where the K. U.—Aggie football game was presented In motion pictures.

A short poem was presented by Coach Binford to each of his players. The poem is as fallows: "Did you miss the goal.

Did the ball bound out,

Tho you put your soul in the shot? Did your eats grow hot With the jeering shout From the so called "sports" that were not?

Did you do your best? That’s all I care.

No matter It “tin horns" tear their hair.

For the test of the game is the way you played

If you keep the code and always were square

Your effort was pleasing to God. as a prayer.

To ever play fair.

It takes all kinds of people to make a world—and a college. The other day in the library a variety of students answered two character analysing questions. One was “How did you happen to come to McPherson College?" and the other was "Where do you expect to be In ten years?"

An attractive senior girl with brown eyes and brown hair said with a hint of oratory in her voice that she came because it wan a small Christian school and in ten years she frankly expects to be doing domestic work. At the other end of the table was another senior this time a boy, hailing from Idaho, who came because his brother had attended school here and it was more or less a family tradition. He expects to be In some kind of legal business In a decade or possibly In congress.

Thurs., Feb. 12—This afternoon Dr. J. Willard Hershey and several of his chemistry assistants explained and illustrated by motion pictures The making of the world's largest synthetic diamonds.

Dr. Hershey read a paper relating the fundamentals of the structure of the diamond, and a brief history to attempts to make artificial diamonds. Scientists have been attempting to make artificial diamonds for several centuries. Finally in the latter part of the 19th century the French chemist Moisson. succeded In producing several minute synthetic diamonds, however these were too small for any parcitcal use.

A set of slides showed the work of diamond production is South Africa. Large numbers of men and costly machinery are used to find and soil out the natural diamonds

Another set of several slides showed some of the apparatus used In the laboratory for the making of the synthetic diamonds. The electric furnace and carbon crucibles used are ones especially made to Dr. Hershey’s specifications.

The moving picture reel showing Dr. Hershey's production of the world's largest diamond, was taken on the campus, and In the chemistry laboratory. The largest diamond made by Dr. Hershey is four times as large and 64 times as heavy as the largest ever made by Moisson.

After the reel was shown. the meeting was dismissed. Those present were permuted to see the world's

Next was a sophomore girl with wide blue eyes and plenty of talent. She came because the Influence of a Christian college is good because this is an inexpensive school. She doesn't want to be an old maid school teacher and of course matrimony is the easiest way to avoid that.

A senior minister attends because he is located here and the education-al standards are as good as any other college. He prefers attending a small school because mass education does not enter In. In ten years he will still be in his chosen profession,

A little junior girl with a curl-framed face came pricipally on the Inducement of a teacher of hers in high school, a graduate of M. C. She. too. expects to be married In ten years

A senior man with possibilities and a spark of nature's fire said he entered. college here because his folks sent him. In ten year, he said, he expects to be digging ditches and Milling needles on the side. Ho will dwell In bachelors quarters and write a book on the merits of a college education to his spare time.

A girl with a saintly face and blond hair came because of family connections, and she expects to teach Latin. Ad Infintum. At least those are her present plans.

A Colorado young man came because he liked the student body and because Dr. V. F. Schwalm came to his town And asked for students. In ten years he expects to be teaching. A native of the Sooner state considered McPherson as the college be liked the best. He expects to be in Africa doing mission work in ten years or preaching somewhere In this country.

A laughing sophomore girl with dark hair attends college here because it Is close to her home. She has aspirations in the field of interior decoration and hopes to be in a city In that work in a decade.

A pretty blond from a short distance east came because M. C. has a better faculty then most small college, She doesn’t know where the will be in ten years so she picked Kentucky at random. Beside her was an equally pretty brunette from the Silver state. She Journeyed here because her brother did before her and because M. C. attempts to deve-lope four-fold life She would like to have a nice home of her own after abe has taught four or five years.

A senior with wit and brains told be was following the line of least resistance when he came here—he bad to go home every week-end to see his girl. He expects to continue to follow the line of least resistance for the next ten years at least.

A little girl with curly hair was brought down by her daddy. She has started to hitch-hike westward and homeward several times but she has always come back. She has a mental picture of herself in ten years —hair pulled hack tight, ruler in hand, little black apron, and presto! she has changed to an old-fashioned kind of teacher.

Still another young man said It was the best college close to his home. Perhaps he will be In Wichita In business in ten years. Still another said. I’ll bite! But I guess I came through the influence of an M. C. graduate. He thinks he will be in McPherson in business in future years.

McPherson has always been the school one M. C. co-ed contemplated attending. She. too, is hoping for a happy married life. Another with the same wish for the future, came because her two brothers and both of her parents attended school here.

M. C. is a growing institution and It's headed some place, according to a young man in this college and that is the reason he came here, He has ambitions to be in the Afircan Mission field in a decade.

A rather quiet young lady, much interested in religious work, is in McPherson because of the type of social life one finds in a religious Institution. She is also quite Interested in a married career.

Sometimes the answers were Jokingly given but if we would look ser-iously into the matter we could look behind even the veil of jokes and say. "Why is each one here and do they have a definite goal? Or is That yet to be awakened?

St. Mary's, Kan. Feb. 17—(Special)—After leading thruout the game until the last three minutes the McPherson college cagers lost to the St. Mary’s team here tonight 19 to 17 In a game that was spectacular from start to finish.

The Mack men were loading at the half 9 to 6 and it was not until the last three minutes of the game that Worth, St. Mary’s, went In for two set-up that he made good. Hill, McPherson, was high point man of the game with 9 points to his credit.

The box score;

During the half the other night we were talking with Leslie Edmonds We happened to ask him how long he had been in the refereeing game and he told us that he has been re-fereeing athletic contests for the last 15 years with a slight intermission during the War, and then he did a little refereeing while in the army. Les first started in 1916 and has been at It ever since but he says he Is going to quit at the end of this season for good.” But we would wager that Les wlll be on the court again next season as long as basketball rules do not overlap Into those of track and field events.

Hill Is still leading for the Bull-dogs with a total individual score of 76 points for the season of 12 games. His Conference record is now tallied at 45 points for the six Conference games. Jamison is second with 67 points as a total and 3 2 for the Conference. Binford comes third with a total of GO points for the 12 games and 32 points for the six Conference games.
