The Amer ican people are extravagant! And whether we want to or not, we are going to be forced to learn several lessons in economy. We see the forecasts, suggestions and appeals in every paper. The peo ple of this generation, having had no experienee with the destruc tion, the scourge, the famines of war, are slow in realizing the seri ou s situation that confronts this republic. We dont want to get ex cited, but we must get it in our minds that we are at war, and no man can tell when it will end. The indications are now that it will be a long, drawn-out affair. This country will have to bear a big part of the burden, and it will be felt by every individual. It is time now to refrain from indulging in extravagant expenditures. All of us can save several dollars dur ing a month and still live in corn fort. We will have to do more than fight. We will have to helpj feed and 'Jothe those who have been fighting. Its going to be a tremendous task even for this big, rich country! You will have to (do your part. Why not begin to-day? The Common Good. In a recent short talk before the studentbody, Prof. Rector said that one of the most need ful CHECKS AND CHANCES BY PHIL E. BUSTER Eternal knittitg is the price of a soldier's comfort. We are willing to pay the extra tax on cigars, but we draw the line on raising the price on Old Man Nunnally's dollar-a-pound stuff! I hate this man you know him too, His name is Reuben Morrow, He never thinks to pay his bills, And always wants to borrow. I know this girl, you've met her too, Her name is Peggy Mace, She,s on the go all thru the day, And always paints her face. Our idea of a nuisance is the fellow who goes around telling other people how to run their business when he has failed in everything he has ever tried. If the allies had as many me thods of saving human life as the Germans have of destroying it, our boys would have a pleas ant stay at Camp Jaceson-and no further draft would be neces sary. The war seems to be responsi ble for a great many things not the least of which is the libera tion of an excessive quantity of hot air in other places than the war zone. And some call it pa triotism! Every time we pass through the capitol grounds and observE Wade Hampton on his nob1E charger, we have a sneaky feel. ing that we'd like to be a gen. era l. NOTICE, SOLDIERS: Sweaters made to order while you wait, Apply to Miss Doomybit at any theater or amusement house it town. If the Government wishes tc save the expense of a seconc draft, just let the h. c. 1. go e little higher, and the salariec men of the country will fall ovei themselves getting into the ranks. Every girl should know how to Knit and nurse; Cook and economize; Sewv and sing; Decide and dress; Plan and paint; Love and1 live. Geographically Speaking.

We take it that he was referring to the class work in particular, but the remark is applicable to every phase of university activi ty. We are in no position to know about the class standing of the students, but we do know there is a sad lack of interest in the various student organizations. So far, we have been unable to determine the exact reason for such a condition of affairs. The boys look all right, their general conduct is all right; but when you call on a man to do a piece of work for the common good, there's another story. During our long connection with the university, we have never ex perienced so much difficulty in getting the help necessary to conduct the work in which every man here ought to be interested. There is a tendency to shift all of the work to the shoulders of a few men-while the others stand idly by and criticise what the few are trying to do. Such a plan, friends, cannot succeed! If it is kept up, the whole system is doomed! We would have you bear in mind that this university is not a one-man institution! Every man must do his bit if the whole is to succeed. The sooner we realize this, the better. If you don't intend to do a man's work, we would suggest a "prep'' school and knee breeches! There is high satisfaction in work well done; and we are willing to go this far: the best salvation for a young man in the NECESSITY FOR WORK - not merely some thing that we can do if it is alto gether agreeable, but the hard things that we HAVE to do. If you were the only man at the uni versity, do you think that it could live at all? The logical conclu sion is that we must all work together for the common good. As a citizen of the State, you have an interest in the university; as a student here, you have duties and responsibilities in addition. Put this question to yourself: Am I doing my part? Then, we ask: If not, why not? A. C. Mann to Wed. Invitations have been received mn the campus to the marriage of Miss Nina Mae Griffin to Mr. Alfred Cieo Mann, (Law '15), on on Nov. 24, at Norris, S.- C. Mr. Mann is pleasantly remembered here where he wvas very popular as a student. He is now engaged in the practice of law at Green ville, S. C. His many friends thruout the State'will be pleased to learn of his approaching mar riage. (THE GAMECOCK extends its ?best wishes. -Editor.). WASH AT * CAPITAL CITY : The Big Laundry on Main Street H.
