SOME IFS Just think what a typical April fool's day If the soberstaid faculty should get very gay, If the extension Director should loaf and not work, If Dr. Wardlaw should plain duty shirk, If the treasurer's office should ever go broke, If Mr. Crow could not get cigars to smoke, If Professor Derrick were not in a hur ry, If calm Dr. Douglas should get in a flurry, If Professor Keith should cease being polite, If the faculty Reverends should stage a prize fight, If the Canteen could ever get out of the hole, If the campus were free from the poli. tical role, If students delighted Dean Baker to face, If letters were welcome from Regi strar Chase, If Dr. Reed Smith should begin to use slang, If Dean Dillard said, "darn, I don't give a hang," If neighbors returned the things that they borrow, If students would never put off till to morrow, If libraries found all the books that they lose, If "Mother Mid" let the girls do as they choose, If the system of honor worked just as it should, If no one compiained of the beds or the food, If pluto and pills at the Infirmary gave out, If the fat should get thin and the thin should be stout, If chapel exercises would be irterest ing once, If tests and exams did not prove one a dunce, If someone Dr. Snowden's black cape would dare swipe, If Dean Ball should misplace his he loved pipe, If Dr. Currell in language quite simple should speak, If Dr. Dr. Wauchope's manners were not so meek, If classes were scheduled, but not to be met, If cars were not 1i'rked where stu dents might pet, If half of the jokes that we laughed at were funny, If the General Assembly would grant lots of money, If all of the campus could have its own way, Just think what a typical April Fool's Day.

Where the silence 'ung that 'eavy You was 'arf afraid to speak!" -Kipfing's "Mandalay" ELEPHANTS 'he elephant is man's most intelligent helper. aut-consider this interesting comparison: Ln elephant is much larger than the electric iotor of a "yarder" or logging machine. The yarder" has the power of twenty elephants; it andles clusters of logs; it works dependably, venty-four hours at a stretch, if necessary.e wenty elephants would eat daily 10,000 pounds r green food, which a corps of attendants must ather. A motor "eats" nothing but electricity, Lipplied at the throw of a switch. 'ower used in the modern industrial world is pplied through electric motors-tireless "iron lephants" that are relegating antiquated ma bines to museums, along with such oldtime ousehold articles as wash-tubs and ordinary ons-and stuffed elephants. 201-65DH1 LAL ELECTRIC C OM PA NY.
