Fm-ty-ni'm The Battle of the Rats From dressers and corners they came swarming out, From under the bed in an angry rout, Over running the rooms of our teachers fair And spoiling the frocks they were want to wear. High above all this noiseand squall, High and commanding a voice did call, ,Twas one of he teachers who bravelyV'dared The terror and noise which everyone shared. ttSilence our cries of terror and fright We will be victors in this awful .iightfi So sayng she took up a large stick of wood, Behind this brave teacher the other ones stood. And bravely the onslaught did each one Withstand, Wielding their weapons with a fearless right hand. The battle soon ended, the victors came out To look at the havoc the great fight had wrought. On chairs and on beds the blood spots were splattered, And over the floor the rats they were scattered. This ends the tale of that horrible war, In which our fair teachers the victors were. L. G. 22 DOC Our Teachers Oh. our faculty is of the best: Itis as good as there is in the West, , They work us all day, Without any play, We never do have any rest In business they certainly shine: Their entertainments are fine. But when naughty weive been They invite us in, And show us an awfully good time. Their laws are not hard to enforce, For we always consider their source. If the rules donit seem right, Itls useless to tight, We just give in, and obey them, of course Sometimes we are most stricken dumb, And everyone looks pretty glum. For sometimes the teachers, Give sermons like preachers, T0 prohibit the chewing of gum. R. W. 21

The Trail to the Heart of the Advertiser HE trail to the advertisefs heart is one fraught with great difficulty, and the end is gained only by the .most painstaking and skillful methods. In starting a business of any kind the manager must figure things from the pessimistic View. That doesnit mean that he should be despondent, or lack- ing in confidence, but that he should Figure the lowest possible assets. Then ' there will be little danger of bankruptcy. Getting advertisements is not a very difficult job if certain rules are fol- lowed. Let the solicitor be plainly, but neatly dressed. The proposition must be stated in an intelligent and comprehensible manner. Avoid misrepresenta- tion. Do not beg. Irf the business man is occupied with some sort of work do not interrupt him. You might ask himhow long he will be occupied. If he says HOnly a little while? wait for him. Keep smiling and by all means donlt be- come angered if he doesnlt accept your offer. Be a gentleman, thank him, whether he buys or not. You may want to approach him again sometime. Some men will llbluffl, for a while before they accept your offer. This is one of the greatest trials of any salesman. Keep a brave appearance whether you feel like it or not. When you have stated your offer wait a moment for the. decision. One trial of brushing, will be about all the amateur will want. As a rule the best advertisers are the young business men, who, sympa- thizing with the advertiser, accede to his wishes immediatelyh They realize too,' the value of advertising and make the decision quickly. The older and more shrewd business men, being somewhat calloused with the many offers they have received, and desiring to do only those things that will be a sure benefit to their business are reluctant to part with their hard earned savings. If the offer is accepted, do not fail to thank the business man for his courtesy and help.. Axioms Recently Discovered: Radiation is the science of bluffing. Zero added zero the result is flunk. Zeros are always equal, though they never coincide. A teacher is a many-sided polygon and equal to anything.
