Houses could not be found on the hill to shelter them, and the dormitories were full. Last summer the beautiful building shown above was erected at a total cost of thirty thousand dollars. It is located just a few steps north of Arnold Hall. It is thirty by sixty-four feet in dimensions, three stories, built of brick and hollow tile, with a green tile roof. It was completed Saturday, October twenty-fifth, and the girls moved from the gymnasium Barracks the following Monday. The structure is modern in every way, furnished thru-out with first class oak furniture. The first floor contains four suites of rooms, which are occupied by married people. The second contains three suites of rooms, two single rooms and a reception room. The third floor contains nine student rooms, bath and toilet. l 'irc T I I .A EHLFE L+7li tl??ll5Hlll3lllll ? ...

Sia- FM E Lute in? mimi fig.: 5 New Science Hall McPherson College is moving along. Above is presented a prospectus of the new Science Hall. It gives a good idea of how the building wil'l look. It will be located north of Sharp Administration building and a little to the east. It is to be a good fire-proof building, fronting the west, one hundred twenty-eight feet long, fifty-four feet wide, and four stories high. The entire first floor will be devoted to chemistry. There is to be enough laboratory space to accommodate a large number of students. Chemistry is be-ing more and more demanded and it is for this reason. that one floor will be given over exclusively to this department. The second floor will be given to two departments. The north end will be fitted up for Domestic Science and Art work. This department has suffered much in the past for want of room. The south end will be equipped for the Physics department. The biological laboratory will occupy the north end of the third floor. This is a very important department for in it students receive the proper perspective of life. The department of Agriculture will occupy the south end. This, too, is an important department and should have ample equip- ment and space. The fourth floor wi'll be given over to recitation rooms, music and art, and halls for the various literary societies. Seven Mumrz ijf i gifummi Proposed Campus , The campus as it will look when the enrollment reaches onethou sand, and the endowment raised several million. Eillht utr it rQ3:Q McPherson College-Past, Present and Future The history of McPherson College dates back to the year 1887, when, at a session of an educational meeting of the Annual Conference of the Church of the Brethren, which convened at Ottawa, Kansas, a. committee was appointed to locate and organize a college and industrial institute. The organization of the committee was S. Z. Sharp-, A.M., President, M. M. Eshelman, Secretary, and George E. Studebaker, Business Manager. A number of Kansas towns were visited by the committee and McPherson was chosen as the best location for the new school. Her citizens soon organized a building association which erected Fahnestock Hall and turned it over to the school committee. On September 5, 1888, school was opened. The enrollment reached almost two hundred the first year. The school developed remarkably well under the able direction of President Sharp, who held that position six years. In 1889 a board of directors composed of Daniel Vaniman, A. W. Vaniman, and J. H. Peck, was appointed. These staunch friends of the institution took upon themselves much of the financial responsibility of the school. About this time the historical hard times of Kansas began to threaten the existence of the school. The attendance decreased and during the financial crisis of 1893-1895, a climax was reached which made a reorganization necessary. In 1895 the buildings were leased for three years to C. E. Arnold, H. J. Harnly, Edward Frantz and S. B. Fahnestock. These four men were young and full of enthusiasm. They had faith enough in the school to assume what seemed to be a hopeless task. C. E. Arnold, A.M., was elected president, and under his leadership the school developed materially. The outstanding indebtedness was soon cancelled and by 1898 the present administration building was completed, and the institution was chartered under the name, McPherson Collegef' President Arnold served the col- lege very ably and pushed it on toward greater success and achievement. ln June, 1902, McPherson College met with an irreparable loss in his untimely death. Dr. Edward Frantz, now Editor of the Gospel Messenger, was chosen to fill the vacancy. Dr. Frantz was an able executive and was president until his health forced him to abandon his position in 1910. In 1906, due largely to the eiorts of S. B. Fahnestock, the Carnegie Library was built. In 1909 the college farm was boughtg in 1911 the Alumni Gymnasium was added. S. J. Miller, A.M., now president of LaVerne College, was acting presi- dent during the year 1910-1911. In 1911 John A. Clement, Ph.D., was elected president of the college and served in that position two years. In 1912 the Board of Trustees was increased to fifteen. In January of the same year the school met another loss in the sudden death of Professor Fahnestock. Dr. Harnly, long Dean of the college, was acting president during the school year 1913-1914. During that year the Trustees were Nine uuii i gc SHOVVING NEED OF A NEXV CHAPEL first elected by the adjoining state districts of the church. The depart- ments of agriculture and domestic science were added at this time. The greatest period in the history of McPherson College is dated 1914- 1920-and the future. Our be'loved Dr. Kurtz, B.D., D.D., took the presi- dential chair in the fall of 1914. Since that time a. phenomenal growth of the college in all its phases has taken place. Several thousand dollars worth of indebtedness were soon lifted, a new heating plant was built in 1'915Q and a new enthusiasm and religious atmosphere gripped the school. Every department was strengthened by new additions to the faculty. Students began to pour in from both near and distant states. In 1916 Arnold Hall was completedg yet the two dormitories would not contain the increasing number of students. In 1917 an endowment campaign raised S225,000. This year another dormitory was built and still the three dormitories and many private homes on college hill are hardly suffi- cient to accommodate our students. Plans for the future are big and bright. In the next five years 51,200,000 will be raised. S700,000 will be used for new buildings and equipment, and S500,000 will be added to our permanent endowment. Dr. Kurtz, when interviewed about the future of the school recently, said, It is my ideal not to have a University here, but a College, second to none in the state, equipped for one thousand students in all departments, and to add to the faculty men of scholarship and clean Christian character. We plan to increase the superior position of McPherson College by increasing her religious activities, and make her the leading school of religion and missions in the middle west. We will also place due emphasis upon the other departments of the college. Taking the word of the leading educators of the state, we can now say that McPherson College is the lead- ing church school of the state. Our college is known all over the land. There is no reason why it should not become the 'Oberlin of the West. With Dr. Kurtz at the helm, McPherson College surely never had a brighter outlook. T611 PM milit ia? -ruuaiir s g Y Our Alma Mater You're more than bricks and stones and walls And rooms and endless winding ha'lls3 You are the light that guides our bark, That leads us from the boundless dark, To carry on the light. You point to us the way to go, You shelter us in joy or woeg To us you give the best of you, May we to this our trust be true, To carry on the light. Teach us thy truths that we may be A help to all humanity, That we may to some soul in need Be kind in every Word and deed, And carry on the light. And when for us the race is run He kindly says, Thy work's well done, When journ'ing far to distant lands We'll give the torch to other hands, To carry on the light. -Iva Studebaker.

Kurtz, has been invited to speak at the World's Sunday School Convention which convenes at Tokyo, Japan, October 5- 14, 1920, Dr. Kurtz is vice president of the International Sun- day School Convention. He and Mrs. Kurtz will spend the months of September and October on the trip and will travel via the Pacific in company with a large party of delegates. Dr. Kurtz has done many big things this year. We have space to mention them only. He spent ten days in a life work conference in Colorado University, and a short time at Nebraska U. and Kansas U. He spoke at the Union Lake Bible Conference with several renowned speakers. His services are again secured for Estes Park this summer and he will speak to the state Y workers at Holister, Missouri. He has turned down scores of important lectures and commencements. Dr. H. J. Harnly is the old stand by,' of the college. He has been with the college twenty eight years with only one year off which he spent at Leland Stanford. He has been granted a year of absence and will go abroad with the missionary party of the church which leaves in August. He will be in attendance at the Tokyo Convention and will visit the mission fields of China, India, and central Africa. He will make an extensive study of the educational conditions in these fields. We wish for the Doctor a pleasant journey and know he will have an enjoyable time. There will be no J. J. here to buy syrup for us next year. Pro- fessor J. J. Yoder has been chosen, among others, to make an extensive visit of the mission fields of all denominations. He will represent the General Mission Board at the Tokyo Convention. The party will visit China, Ceylon, India, Africa, and very likely Denmark and Sweden. They will be accompanied thru Africa by an armed guard and will pro- bably establish a new mission point in central Africa. Dr. Culler was granted a leave of absence last year. He sailed with the relief party for Armenia and arrived there April 22. He was ap- pointed director of a large district, with Marash,Turkey, as headquarters. A hospital, eight orphanages, several schools, and a cloth factory em- ploying seven hundred people, were established. Thousands of refugees were helped and thousands of people were taken back to their former homes, and furnished with food, clothing, and capital with which to be- gin anew. The monthly budget for supplies amounted to twenty thou- sand dollars. He personally supervised the reconstruction in many vil- lages. Since his return to America and the Alma Mater he has been called to lecture extensively for the Inter-Church World Movment. As this is printed the situation of Miss Evelyn, Trostle is uncertain. She has been in relief work in Turkey for the past eight months. She had charge of two girls orphanages in Marash until trouble began in January. She stayed by her Armenian orphans until she was compelled by the Turks to leave Marash. The latest press reports say she escaped safely to Constantinople. 7'1c'eufy-Sin: MHEELQQQH QAMHEWT F.

All things 'look so bright about her, That they nothing see without her. 320 rods make a mile. How many rods were spared on this child? Maiden! with rare brown eyes, In whose orbs a shadow lies Like the dusk in evening skies. Married. That's all. No disgrace to have a place and occupy the same. Who will run this old world after I leave it ? A ready tongue, a ready wit, Slam, slam, bang, and never care a bit. He mixed reason with pleasure and wisdom with mirth. She is like a poetic dream that can not be written or told. This medal was presented to me by myself as a slight token of my self-esteem. A modest unassuming lass. He longs to be a soldier where battles are fought with talcum powder. When she will, she will, and you can depend on it, When she won't, she won't, and that's the end of it.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Better to wear out than to rust out. Her face doth always wear a smile, And this makes Ikey's life worth while. Gains knowledge by degrees. Now pos- sesses a P. A. Daughter of the Muses. He is true to himself. To others he must be true. A face with gladness overspread, Soft smiles by human kindness bred. Sterling qualities personified. Who shall it be? You will never know how old I am. A quiet seeker after knowledge. Sober, steadfast, and demure. He cares for only one Wave to come into his life's journey. Happy am I, from care I'm free, Why are you not contented like me? Easterling, ding-a-ling, highest ambition, dad-a-ling. Those who know her best do praise her most. Seeks to learn nature's deepest mysteries with acid, base, and fire. Fresh and blooming, blond and fair. A little conscience called Bessie guides him when in doubt. Modest she was, forsooth not vain, If friends be credit, she has much gain. Uses his dough to become college bred. Her dignity is at a high tide of efficiency. Silence is wisdom! I am wise. Why Seniors go to heaven and why they don't go there Has been published everywhere, and wafted thru the air, Till honestly I'm thinking it plainly would be best, To settle now both questions and let the subject rest. The answer's clear and easy, and here is put in rhyme That it may be sung or whistled at any place or time. All Juniors go to heaven regardless of their worth For the very simple reason that they get their -- on earth. lv'orty-lf'o1w' A 4 E, Z Ei ii Luflaww gfiumuw xg Qi 1 f 5 Si Kfw 440 44 - Qi 1 K S xff wx 1 4 H X , ,G .-ff ff, 1.2-.. 275 ' fall 2 vs? 69' V Av Ar N exif?

Schermerhorn Laura Kuns Albert Schermerhorn John Mohler Margaret Meyer Gertrude Gleckler Hope Beck Our Creed We believe that having been able to bluff our way through High School on pure nerve and sheer nonsense, we shall be able to bolt through college in like manner. We believe that study is detrimental to human happiness and that play is the one essential to a blissful career. We believe that a compulsory course in courtship should be established in the school cur- riculum. We are opposed to everything that does not contribute to sanguine temperaments. Believing that ignorance is bliss, we love our ignorant life. All the world loves a lover, therefore we know that we are loved. Love conquereth all, therefore we believe that we shall be conquerors.

Our president, David Brubaker, is a national debater and president of an eastern college. He is keeping bachelor quarters as he still has an aversion for women and likes to sew on buttons. Our vice-president, Ua McAvoy, We find in a happy home occasionally singing in grand opera with her delightful contralto voice. Secretary-Treasurer, Gene Young, is an understudy of Charlie Chaplin and is making good. Successful evangelists and pastors are Ralph Loshbaugh, assisted by his wife Kathryn, Bruce Tharrington, H. A. Spurgeon, Ph.D. Yale, Gilbert Brubaker, D.D., and Christian Ikenkerry, who is an M. C. evangelist. Russel Miller attempted the ministry but failed, and is managing a large ten cent store in New York. We now notice some of the girls. Those who are pleasantly keeping house are Goldie Ellenberger, Bernice Keim for Dr. Dean, Gladys Edwards Was, Lillian Sandy who manages her hubby, Mary Baker, also senator from Kansas, Hazel Vogt, personal worker for an evangelist. Fannie ivIcGaffey accompanied her husband to Japan and has not been heard from. Old maid school teachers are Sylvia Whiteneck, Edith Williams. Ruth Frantz, Alice Flatt, Olive Boone, Ethel Beshears, Cadie Reiman, Agnes Baker, and Loretta Yoder. Eu'lah Crumpacker keeps a beauty parlor in Boston and has Hazel Small as an office girl to attract trade. Edith Muse divorced an actor and is now in China, sent by the Y. W. C. A. Going back to the illustrious men of the class We find Mark Neher. a traveling secretary for the Y. M. C. A. in Arizona. W. E. Bishop developed a talent for cartooning, but on account of his habits of procras- tination, found it hard to satisfy his employers. Sanger Crumpacker is coach at K. U. He is a referee of national fame also. Ray Gish, our man with lots of Hope, is a successful farmer in Nevada. Irvin Ihrig never found an appetite for Women and is a bachelor farmer-dairyman in Mis- souri. George Lingenfelter, of naval fame, is a dancing instructor in Chicago. Bay Kaufman is a famous vocaflist and his songs are being reproduced on the Edison. Vilas Betts is teaching agriculture and doing experimental farming in an Idaho State Agriculture College.

Its instructors have brought from some of the largest universities of the East the most modern and efficient methods of instruc- tion. The success of its graduates everywhere attests to the thoroughness of its courses. He who would take an active part in the world's work can- not afford to ignore this phase of his education. Scvcuty-Scvcn ruttt srig x iramtucuiit Vocal Department It is very gratifying to note the growth of the Vocal Department and to see the capable students it graduates each year. The course of in- struction is planned to develop pure tone and its natural use and control in singing. It teaches also the correct use of breath, phrasing, enunciation, and interpretation, together with a thoro appreciation of the best works of the masters. No less important than individual and class instruction is the oppor- tunity to study the choral works of Spross, Stainer, and other great com- posers, in the choral union. The soloists are chosen from the vocal students. Every student has the privilege of singing in the church chorus which offers practical experience in the rendition of anthems and choruses. The average number of students enrolled during the year is between eighty and eighty-tive. The department has grown steadily under the able direction of Professor C. L. Rowland who has been connected with it for the past seven years. It is regretted very much by the faculty and students that he has decided to cast his lot elsewhere in the future. However, he leaves McPherson with the knowledge that the very best wishes of the entire college community will follow him as he continues the teaching of his chosen art. Sczwlzty-lu'iy1l1L .

The Preparatory and Normal course leads to a tea.cher's certificate. A diploma is given the student after com- pleting one year of collegiate work. The degree Bachelor of Music is given to those who complete the full collegiate course. The purpose of the latter is to give the student a good basis upon which to Work, a careful study of technique, an acquaintance with the best in musical literature, both that of modern and older composers, and finally, a true interpretation of music. Every pupil is required to study composition and history of music, in order to understand the historical settings of the great masterpieces. All students are expected to appear in recital during the year. The Work of this department has been of unusual merit this year. The average enrollment was over one hundred students. The present studio does not present a very pleasing appearance but it is hoped that the new hall will be equipped with a studio of which we can be proud. - w Eighty .1 '-, liEE Qll1l ld.liif.iHii PIANO DEPARTMENT Ccon't.J There were no degrees given from the Piano Department this year. Only one student received a diploma, Miss Elsie Klinkerman, of Canton, Kansas. This department is very ably conducted by Miss Jessie Brown, who holds a degree from Bethany College Where she was a gold medal student. After completing her work there she went to Europe and studied technique under Baroness Von Ekner. She was also a student of Teichmu'ller, the leading teacher of Piano at the Royal Conservatory of Leipzig. McPherson College is indeed fortunate in having at the head of this department a person of such wide experience and thorough training. Miss Brown is ably assisted in her work by Miss Pauline Vaniman, who has received her degree in Piano from McPherson College and Bethany Conservatory. Eighty-Onc V S A7 - f- 51 -1 e cj ew utils .E lg murmur 5 5 V Art Department The introduction of an Art Department in McPherson College has proved very successful. In 1916 art was taught but for some reason was not made permanent until this year. The unusual merit of the work produced here is evidenced by the fact that a small display at the end' of the first semester increased the enrollment in this department several hundred per cent. The value of an appreciation of art is inestimable to any student when he goes out in life. Instruction is given in china painting, water color, normal drawing, pastel, and reed weaving. Mrs. J. W. Deeter is very competent and has endeavored to have her classes realize the true value of art, not as a pastime, or for its own sake, but for life's sake. We sincerely hope that the Art Department may hold a permanent place in McPherson College and in time may be more fully equipped to meet the needs of students who wi'1l come here. There is need of an art normal course for preparing teachers to supervise art classes in the public schools. At the present time Chicago has the only art normal course of merit in the Central West. The work produced in our own department shows continual advancement and promises much for the future. Eighty-Two imme dia te .imma Home Economics The Home Economics Department of McPherson College is in its seventh year. For a few years academy credit only, was given. Now full credit is given in the college on an A.B. degree, or a B.S. degree may be had in Home Economics. To Miss Minnie Walters, the instructor, must be given the credit for the success of this department. She has been with us for five years. Since the opening of this department in our college, the enrollment has trebled until now there are one hundred girls studying some phase of Home Economics. The training is varied and broad, including a study of hygiene and the laws of health, the sanitary requirements of the home, the wise expenditure of money, time, and energy, and the principles under- lying the selection, preparation, and serving of food. After the burning of the gymnasium, the equipment and class room was moved to the basement of Fahnestock Hall, where it has remained. The greatest inconveniencehere is that the room is too small to accom- modate the large number of students. When the Science Hall is built we will have our home there with more room and better equipment. Eighty-Thref' Ag? 1. i. ru r gi trcariuui Manual Training Department The Manual Training Department is not very large but it is well equipped with the best up-to-date tools and machinery. It is a popular department and is always over-full of enthusiastic, busy students. The class room has eleven benches, each fitted with a complete set of tools. A motor driven turning lathe and a band saw are provided. A goodly assort- ment of genera'l and special tools adorn the walls of the tool rooms. A11 ample stock of special assorted woods is kept on hand. The painting and Hnishing room is always full of excellent pieces of furniture in the last stages of making. The department has courses in mechanical drawing, drafting, and designing. Some very excellent blue prints have been produced. The arts of wood turning, cabinet making, upholstering, and picture framing, are ably taught. The department offers the knowledge that one should have in order to repair the thousand and one little things about the home. The ability to determine the quality and workmanship of a piece of furniture is gained here. Both men and women are enrolled. The men usually excel in furni- ture making and wood turning, while the ladies specialize in making Hope Chests. A splendid exhibit of products of the department is open to visitors during the Bible Institute and Commencement week.

The present college farm was secured later by purchase. A twenty- eight acre plant is set aside for experiments, most of which are original, altho some are run in co-operation with the State Agricultural College. These experiments are practical and varied, such as fertilizer, variety, and rate and date tests with wheat, besides those in smut and Hessian Fly control. Soil analysis and the latest laboratory experiments are carried on extensively. It is the intention to merge the department into a vital part of the college scientific course. The state high school stock judging contest was held in connection with the Kansas National Live Stock Show at Wichita this year. Two M. C. Academy students took first and fourth prizes as individuals, and the team of three took first place exceeding their nearest competitors by twenty per cent.

PURPOSE It is the purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association of McPher- son College to lead students to faith in God thru Jesus Christ, and to enlist them in membership and service in the Christian church, that thru fellow- ship and Bible study their Christian faith and character may be developed. To realize this purpose, the Y. M. C. A. endeavors to provide a posi- tive wholesome environment for the young man to develop him socially and physically as well as spiritually. As an expression of our motto, the Y. M. C. A. strives to influence the men to dedicate their lives to make the Wi'll of God effective in human society.

This organization is open to every girl in school. Almost all of the girls have taken advantage of the association and are members. Much inspiration and help are received from the regular Wednesday morning meetings, and from the Bible and Mission study classes. We are represented every year at the summer conferences which are held at Estes Park, Lake Geneva, and other places. I-,'iyl1ly-Yiflc -.4 uma rriii iii- ,iuriiir XTaEf Mission Band Miles G. Blickenstaif ..................... President Ada Beckner ......... ............ V ice-President Bessie Van Pelt ................ S ec1'etary-Treasurer The Mission Band of McPherson College is made up of those students who have signed the following declaration: lt is my purpose under God's guidance, to devote my life without reserve to a distinctly Christian voca- tion. This association in a common cause not only encourages those in the Band, but also helps those of the students about them to see that true happiness lies in definite Christian service. In recent years the growth of the band has been very marked. It has become one of the great dynamic forces in McPherson College which makes for service to mankind. The organization further strengthens its purpose by means of the weekly meetings. The attendance this year has averaged sixty-five. The programs consist of addresses by visiting missionaries, outside speakers, pageants, reports from conventions, reviews of latest missionary books, and special music. One of the most helpful meetings is the Open Forum, in which some of the problems which always face the Christian worker are informally discussed. Members of the Mission Band are urged to gain actual experience in service while in school. This year an opening among the Mexicans of the city has given opportunity for practical work. Every Sunday afternoon a group of workers visits Little Mexico, delighting the children with stories and games, and interesting the adults with music, talks and Bible teaching. 1 N i :rely gg E tuctigiili igriimiii Volunteer Band Edward Van Pelt ........................ President Maude Stump .......... ....... V ice-President Nina Teeter Brubaker ........... Secretary-Treasurer' s The purpose of the Student Volunteer Band is to further the mission-- ary spirit in McPherson College, and to serve as a source of inspiration to those who have decided definitely for over-seas service. Regular meetings are held each month during the school year. As McPherson College is a recognized missionary center, many missionaries and traveling secretaries visit us every year. The Band takes advantage of these visits by holding special meetings and private conferences. Our members have the privilege of attending the state and national conventions of the Student Volunteer Movement. This year we were represented at the International Convention of Student Volunteers held at Des Moines, Iowa, by seven delegates chosen from both students and faculty. The present membership is twenty. Our Honor Roll in foreign service inc'ludes twenty men and women. Nfin1?Iy-Hill' was Q ii i fuiutuiir Student M inisters' Association The Student Ministers' Association of McPherson College was or- ganized in 1918 as a direct outcome of the Wichita Conference. Evangelist Austin was designated to put the plan into effect. It has become an organization of great value to the young ministers of the school. The purposes of the association are: to meet together in regular informal meetings to discuss problems of the ministryg to discuss personal problems and assist one another and our fellow students to find their life workg to keep before us the bigness and sacredness of our taskg to exert our influence in helping the students to realize the ideals of service and brotherhoodg and to study together special subjects which will increase our efficiency in the ministry. In addition to the regular meetings prominent pastors, evangelists, and missionaries are invited to speak to the associa- tion who out of their own experience give many helpful suggestions. There are forty-five ministers in school this year. They Will go out into the world with high ideals and visions of the Work that is to be done. Our student pastors who are doing double work are, C. A. Eshelman, First Church of the Brethren, Wichitag E. F. Sherfy, Monitor Community Churchg D. H. Heckman, Ramona, and J. Perry Prather, Centennial. .Yfl1f'l'jl-'l'lI'0 fzffjf? li- U IE ETZH U itunn Bible Institute January 25th to February lst was the date of the regular Bible Insti- tute at McPherson College. The attendance was good and it was a. decided success. Visitors came from Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas. There were lectures, musicals, and programs every evening of the week. Professor Yoder delivered the missionary address Saturday night. Dr. Kurtz gave a new series of lectures on The Kingdom of God. His extensive study of this subject makes him an authority, and he very ably refuted the spreading doctrine of Modern Millennialismf' It is a firm conviction of his that there is no place for a passive acceptance of a spineless creed. He also delivered the annual educational address. Dr. Culler reached home about noon of the first day. His recent experience in the Armenian field was related and received with much interest. He gave several lectures on the Book of Acts. The afternoon hours were given over to sectional meetings. Professor Mohler led the men in agricultural discussions. Miss Walters demonstrated the art of Domestic Science to the ladies and Professor Deeter had charge of the pastors, and Sunday School work. Representative programs were given by gospel teams. Professors Rowland and Studebaker discussed the problems of singing and song books. Our foreign missionary visitor this year was Miss Anna Blough, of China. Her knowledge of social, economic, and religious conditions of China made her an interesting and instructive speaker. Ninety-Th rec Lisa .- n r ... .Linear neg gfigfg' . vig. qs , K at , ini, Student Volunteer Convention The eighth International Convention of Student Volunteers was held at Des Moines, Iowa, December 31, 1919, to January 4, 1920. It was at- tended by 7,000 students representing a thousand colleges, universities, and professional schools of North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Of those present, 1,500 were student volunteers. The students and faculty members shown in the picture above were in attendance and represented McPherson College at this great Convention. The motto of the Student Volunteer Movement is: The Evangeliza- tion of the World in this Generation. Its purposes, according to John R. Mott, are: to encourage among students an active interest in foreign missionsg to enroll qualitied volunteers for foreign service, to help them prepare for their life work, and to lay an equal responsibility on those remaining at home. The impressions of the Convention were very inspirational. Every one present realized the remarkable unity in purpose and types of thinking among Christian students of all races and classes. One began to appreciate the needs of the world-especially of the foreign fields-and the responsi- bility that rests on each of us to fill that need. Those who represented McPherson at this convention were: Paul K. Brandt, Alice Burkholder, Oliver Trapp, Howard Engle, Professor Morris, Ada Beckner, Professor Yoder, and Miles Blickenstaff. .Vi nety-Four , 2 T, , Ja ik usa zrlg a rusili Christian Extension Edward Van Pelt ......................

Student Ministers On account of the increasing demand for deputation work, an organiza- tion was formed whereby it can be attended to with more ease by the differ- ent organizations of the college. Last year one member from each of the six organizations was elected to take a place on a central Committee of Six. This committee has direct charge of all deputation work of the college. Teams are sent out to various churches in the state and adjoining states to give programs, which are varied with music, lectures, and read- ings. In the past these teams have been enthusiastically received wher- ever they go. The plan has proved a success. These teams assist in adver- tising the college and also tie the home churches to the college. Following is a summary of the year's work: Miles traveled by teams, 2,1553 people spoken to, 5,0753 programs given, 38: speeches, sermons, addresses, orations and readings given, 163g musical numbers rendered, 1845 all expenses were met by offerings from churches visited.

STUDENT COUNCIL fcon't.J The student council is the least understood of the organizations of McPherson College. In order that it be better understood a sketch of its organization and work will be given. As an organization it has done more work this year than it has for several years past. It is an organization of the students for the purpose of regulating and managing the activities of the students. It is composed of two faculty members, two members from each college class, one from each academy class, and one from each special department. The new membership is elected near the close of each school year in order that it may be ready for work immediately at the opening of the next year. It is often said that a college is known by its publications. In the past McPherson has always published a creditable paper. The school has been growing and the council felt the need of a larger paper. The proposition found favor with the students. Mr. Paul Warren was elected editor-in-chief and Harry Gilbert business manager. These men cherished big ideals for the Spectator and they have been realized. The council was equal to the occasion and as a result an eight-page weekly is pub- lished. Morris Harnly, Ray Frantz, Roy C. Frantz, Gladys Heaston, Marguerite Mohler, Alice Burkholder, Iva Studebaker, and George Boone are staff assistants. Early in the year there was much sentiment for an annual. Again the council came to the rescue, drew up a slate, and an election was held. Roy C. Frantz was elected editor-in-chief and Ray R. Cullen business manager. You hold in your hand the result of their efforts. Very early in the year a committee was appointed to decide upon the various activities for the year. In doing this they had one thing very definitely in mind: to give to the students a better class of events, with more stress laid upon lectures, musicals, and debates, with a well rounded athletic program. When the tickets were oiered for sale at the price of three dollars and fifty cents, with the promise of thirty events, almost four hundred were contracted. The athletic end Was well managed by Professor Mohler who has had a great deal of experience along such lines and knows how to get the most out of money expended. Basket ball was not as prosperous as was ex- pected but we have good prospects in our growing team. Base ball, tennis and track, however, have taken on a more encouraging air. Ten letters were granted to athletic men and ten to women. According to established practice, medals were given to those who held important offices, or dis- tinguished themselves in debate and oratory. The student council fills a large place in McPherson College. It can fill a larger place as soon as the students are more willing to work thru it, their representative. It is an organization of the students for the students. Let us work with it to make a better M. C. N inety-S even Mr IE Ui xw: ww El li gpcu ur 'ilflllillilli 5' Anti-Tobacco A ssociation Seth P.

T reasurer The Anti-Tolcacco Association is yet in its infancy among our schools and colleges. The movement was founded by a McPherson man about four years ago. and is becoming a strong factor in our colleges. The object of the Association is to stimulate interest in the study of the tobacco evil in order that a rew conscience may be developed among our young leaders against the enemy of our moral and social life. Loca'l oratorical contests are held each year and the winner is entered in the state contest. The organization of the movement has three divisions: Local, state and national. Our local organization has three hundred members, and has done some real practical work. A series of scientific tests proving the effects of the poisons found in tobacco, have been run by Ralph Strohm, Curtis Bowman and J. H. Engle.

The subject of his ora- tion was Our Task. He has a very pleasing delivery and if he lacks in thought he makes up for it in delivery. The state contest this year was held at Miltonvale, Kansas, and six orators entered the race. In the inter-state contest Mr. Maxcy again showed his su- periority and won first place by a :mall margin. The Inter-Collegiate Anti-To- bacco Association held its annual convention and inter-state oratori- cal contest in McPherson April 21 57' and 22. Prominent speakers were here including Dr. H. J. Hall, of Indiana, Secretary of the No Tobacco League of America, Mrs. Lillian Mitchner, President of the Kansas W. C. T. U., and Professor W. A. McKeever, of Kansas University. Impor- tant business was transacted, including the establishment of a No To- bacco League for Kansas. The oratorical contest was the first of its kind ever held in the world and included only two states. California has an organization, but it was im- possible for her orator to compete on account of the distance. J. HOWARD ENGLE Winner Inter-Collegiate Contest 1919 Last year Mr. Engle took first place in the local contest and enter- ed the state contest which was held at McPherson College in May. He took first place with his oration and showed great ability as an orator. Arrangements were made whereby the winners last year may compete this year in the first inter-state con- test that has been held since the Anti-Tobacco Association has been organized. Mr. Engle again com- peted for honors and took third place. Une lulrlrlrcvl Um' -5' 535 ' rlttlggii i .miami ?Xg College Debating C lub Alberta N eher ...........................

Coach, Though debating has never been lacking among the activities of Mc- Pherson College, there has not been an organized debating club previous to the year 1919-1920. Men and women have won laurels for M. U. in the field of argument and have brot honors to her from numbers of inter- collegiate debates each year. This year enthusiasm for a debating club was manifest. Theoppor- tunity was given for students to try out for membership which resulted in the organization of a club. Representatives on the teams are not chosen entirely from the club. Any college student is given the privilege to try ior a place on the teams. The debating club insures a steady support for debating in our college. lt gives those students desiring more practice in argumentation and public speaking a chance to exercise themselves along such lines. Regular meet-- ings are held bi-weekly, at which debates are scheduled and important phases of debating discussed. The club has general supervision of all debat- ing activities of the college department. Une llll'lIllI'fill Two i t S tutt gml gtc- .mimi Inter Collegiate Debate Negative Team : Ray W.

The state is divided into districts With a certain number of colleges to a district. League arrangements pitted our teams against Cooper of Sterling. March 12th our ailirmative team met the negative team here and 'lost unanimously. The negative team Went to Cooper and, through a series of unfortunate circumstances, lost, two to one. The question Was: Resolved, that the United States assume a protectorate over Mexico. l Special arrangements, outside the League, were made with Tabor College, of Hillsboro, for a debate with their team April 23rd at McPherson. The proposition debated was: Resolved, that the United States should adopt a system of responsible cabinet government, constitutionality granted. I 1 Dual Debate Team: Henry R.

Treasurer McPherson College has long stood for that type of education that trains the mind for quick, logical and accurate thinking. There is no profession in life in which such ability does not have great advantages, and surely there can be no better method of securing such training than in debate. lt Was With this purpose in View that the McPherson College Academy Debat- ing Club Was organized in the late fall of 1919, under the direction of the faculty Literary Society committee. The membership of the Club, limited to twenty-five, is secured thru try-outs. The C'lub meets every alternate Saturday evening for a program of debates and discussions by the members. The Debating Club is a very important factor in our college. It trains the Academy students in the principles of debate and prepares them for entrance into the College Debating Club. A great deal of enthusiasm and interest has been manifest and the prospects for the future success of the Club are bright. 0711? Ilzmzlred Four pl li.. i .

Miller imc hrnzrlrcfl Fll?'l' incc mu tsfimcmi F ahnestock Hall Self Governing Body Early in the school year, at the suggestion of the management, the men of the Dormitory met and elected representatives who constitute their self-governing body. Each of the three floors chose five representatives. The one who received the most votes in each case became chairman of his floor. The fifteen men elected constitute the Committee of Fifteen. The chairman of each floor is a member of a central Committee of Three. The Faculty is represented by Professor Morris who is chairman of both committees. As their first work the committees drew up suggestive agree- ments of conduct which were adopted unanimously by the men. The plan of self-government works somewhat as follows: Matters of government are first discussed by the committee of three which then lays the problem with recommendations before the committee of fifteen. Dis- cussion by the whole committee follows and a decision upon further action is made. If it seems advisable the person or persons concerned are called before the entire committee, given an opportunity to state their case, make reparation if necessary, and agree to uphold the ideals which were previously adopted. In no case has the committee been compelled to refer any matter to the management as a final resort. Altho the work has not been without defects or criticism yet in the main this first experiment of self-government in the Men's Dormitory has certainly not been without success. First of all we have a simple and a democratic organization chosen by the men themselves to whom the com- mittees are accountable. Also, some have been aided in adjusting them- selves to life in a complex society where the rights and property of other folk must be respected. When these are fully achieved student honor and self-government will have won another victory.

A1109 SOTGHSO11 Mrs. S. Keim The Irving Memorial Literary Society was one of the earliest or- ganizations of McPherson College. It was founded in 1889, at the time the college first opened its doors. At one time it included the students of the three upper classes of college. During the early history of the college the Irving Society was attended by the people of the city, for it was one of the few public entertainments ofered. When Irving Hall was com- pleted, in 1902, the society was reorganized and put upon a new basis. A constitution and charter were drawn up but they have been lost. ln 1919 a committee drew up a new constitution which was a revision over the former. It was officially adopted by the society. During the school year of '19-'20 the membership of this body was one hundred six. A number of special programs were given during the year: A weird, spooky one on Hallowe'eng an original farce, Old Maids' Circle at the time of the Emporia Y convention when the male element of the school was absent, one given by the men in retaliation after their return: a Christmas pageant: a service program in honor ot' the returned soldiers, sailors and nurses on the anniversary of armistice day: a scien- tific program: an Irish program on St. Patrick's Day, and a two-act comedy in April. The purposes of the society are directed toward the benefit of the student-to give him ease and composure on the public platform by periodic performances before the society: to give him practical experience in parliamentary law: to maintain a keen spirit of wholesome rivaflrv with other societies 3 to form and help raise new ideals of public programs, social entertainments, and social life: to broaden the interest and widen the in- tellectual fieldg to stimulate an appreciation of the best in literature, art, and music, and, finally, to be the means of enabling the student to learn to live the fullest and best life according to his highest ambitions.

Brubaker Nellie Derrick Sam Merkey The Iconoclast Literary Society was organized during the year 1913 and 1914, and has been an active factor in student life since that time. It is made up of students of college rank. The present membership is one hundred and twenty-eight, which is the largest since the college and academy societies were divided in 1916. The lconoclast Society furnishes an excellent opportunity for develop- ment along every line. It is particularly adapted to the needs of the begin- ning student who desires to improve his talents. Our aim is to give every member an opportunity to carry out the motto. Each week a public program, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, readings, stories, d-ebates, orations, current events, and college news, is given. That the lconoclasts possess a great amount of ta'lent is shown by the fact that there are among our number several soloists, two ladies' quartettes, and a male quartette. There are also several readers of excellent ability, and winners in the state oratorical and debate contests. During the year basket ball games were played between the societies, and debate contests were staged. The society was among the first to welcome the new students at the opening of school. Early in the year a social was given for all the college students. Later another one was given for the new members. These events never fail to secure from the members unfailing loyalty to the society, to her purpose, her colors, and her emblem.

Secretary The Alumni Association of McPherson College numbers between seven and eight hundred members. Formerly only graduates of the normal de- partment and the college were admitted to memlbership, but a few years ago it was voted to include all graduates who have received diplomas from any department of the institution. This action was made retroactive. Graduates automatically become members. The aim of the Association is to bind more closely the tie between the alumni and their alma mater and to foster their mutual loyalty and friend- ship. The alumni should be considered centers of influence pointing young men and women to McPherson College. The college should seek to keep in touch with its alumni, to encourage them to press on in whatever line of endeavor they are engaged, and to render them any deserved favors within its power of bestowal. The alumni are the best asset of the college. Its standards depend largely upon them. Their suggestions for the college's improvement are welcomed by those in active control of their alma mater. The Alumni Association was incorporated in 1919 under the laws of the state of Kansas. It has a representative on the Board of Trustees of the college, the present trustee being'Re.v. W. H. Yoder of Morrill, Kansas. The annual membership fee of the Association is one dollar and it is due on April 1. Seniors may obtain life membership by paying the sum of ten dollars within one year after graduation. Others may secure life mem- bership by paying fifteen dollars to the Association. On the night of Thursday of Commencement week, each year, a reunion and banquet is held by the Association at the college. One Hundred Eighteen LHFE P - mmf , .J QW Q S QQ J 3 , .!.!.J.1.!.I.z.1-S.

Secretary The Choral Union of McPherson College has been organized this year on a slightly different plan than heretofore. Membership is limited to sixty-five. The Ladies, Glee Club of twenty voices with the Men's Glee Club of the same number form the major part of the chorus. The re- maining voices are selected from musical students in the college who are not members of the Glee Clubs. A club this size is easily directed, and being made up of high class talent, little time is utilized in preparing a can ata. On the evening of the tenth of January the chorus gave The Word of God, a sacred cantata by Spross. This program was repeated during the Bible Institute in January for the benefit of the visitors. During the second semester another cantata, The New Earth, by Hadley, was given. This composition was especially appropriate and interesting as a modern production based on the late war. In the beginning it was thot that three cantatas could be given, but for various reasons the third could not be given. The Choral Union was organized with the object of furthering the interest in choral works. In this it is very successful. It is here that the student comes in contact with the great masters. He learns the art of sing- ing with a group. The organization fills a prominent place in the life of the college. One Humlrefl Twenty-0110 L H li E wi ll lL H um if Men's Clee Club Professor C. L.

P ianist The first orchestra that has been seen in our college since the middle ages fof the schoolj, made its appearance this year. It is not a high-brow organization at all, but in all its public appearances was very well received. With a beginning of eleven pieces it soon grew to twenty-five, and for the program in the city was augmented to thirty-five, including the city musicians. It is the intention of Mr. Lauer to make the work standard in every respect. Simple music was used at the beginning, but after the members became more confident, more difficult music was attempted. It is the aim of the director to develop a taste for the musical arts, Whether it be for Wind or stringed instruments. The orchestra is for all the students, and in a few years when more musicians are trained M. C. will possess a symphony orchestra second to none. Professor Lauer is a talented musician. He teaches violin as a specialty, but he has had some students in cornet and clarinet this year. The total enrollment in this department is twenty-two.

We are fortunate in having a large gymnasium, with a large floor for basket ball, volley ball, and physical training. We also have five of the smoothest tennis courts in the country. We were unfortunate, however, in not having a base ball diamond or foot ball gridiron. All these sports are essential to student life, and must be provided for, if the fourth side of the four square man is developed. Athletics is not a man-killer, but a man-maker. It not only develops the physical, but the mental. The student is under the supervision of a proficient coach, who never permits him to undertake more than he can bear. It is on the athletic field he learns the value of team work, and a friendly association with the opposition. mJ..,.,...i,,A K , ,.,, .

We did not come out at the end of the season with a long list of victories to our credit. We are sure of one thing, however, our team Worked and the teams that overcame it had work to do it. The sea- son was a little late in getting started and then in the midst of training the gymnasium was partly destroy- ed by fire. The management came to the rescue and had it ready for use after the holidays. The basket ball team this year was interesting in several Ways. First of all, the members were all or nearly all lower classmen. There was not a senior on the team, only one junior, and all the rest were under classmen. It was interesting again because so many of the men were practically green on the floor. Only one or two were playing their second year on a college team. The fellows who were on the squad learned several important things this year about the game. Coach Patterson drilled them day after day on short, snappy passes. He had them running up and down the floor snap- ping the ball at each other in a Way that meant real training. He taught the team the value of speed, particularly when it is lighter than its oppon- ents. Une lesson that was especially hard to learn was team work, but the fellows found themselves in the last few games. All the fellows that were on the teamthis year will be back next year and we are hoping for a lot of new materia'l. The men who were on this year will be ready to start at the first whistle and go till the last goal is shot. With the advantage of this year's training there is no doubt that we will make our opponents eat our dust next year. M. C. has in the past had basket ball teams that made most of the schools around here look like the last rose of summer on a cold January night. Our team this year was underweight when compared with any of the teams we played. Next year we will make up in speed what we lack in weight and put the old college on the basket ball map again.. We are going ahead. Watch our smoke. The annual basket ball banquet was given April 5th, at which letters were presented to the following: Fred Howell, Arthur Staatz, Sanger Crumpacker, Vilas Betts, Oliver Trapp, Lloyd Saylor and Foster Hoover g monograms to Henry Stover, August Rump and Dayton Yoder. Worthy of mention is the team of the fair ones. They, too, started a little late and played only four games. We succeeded in copping one of them. Letters were also awarded to the following girls: Gertrude Gleckler, Floy Rhodes, Iva Brammell, Minnie Edgecomb, Dorothy Bryant, Clara Linscheid, Lota Neher, Ruth Cripe and Eunice Cripe.

The courts have been bathed all spring by Jupiter Pluvius, and the men have not had a chance to exercise themselves. Plans were made to enter a tennis team in the district meet at Cooper, May eighth. Bethany, Bethel, Cooper, and McPherson were the competi- tors. A tournament was held on the local courts during April and May and Gilbert and Bowman were the best men. Our chances are good to come out strong in this tournament. It is the plan to put on some Inter-Collegiate games for the amusement of the stu- dents, and with favorable weather we should love 'em up. The same state of affairs existed in track as in tennis. As this is Written notrnuch track material has shown up. Coach Patterson had charge of practice at the Fair Grounds. We plan to enter the meet at Sterling May the eighth, and if we make a showing there the men will be taken to the state meet at Emporia. It remains only for time to tell Whether there is a record sprinter, hurdler, broad jumper, or pole vaulter among us. 0110 H11 IIIZITII Th irtjf- Hiyfht . A5543 5 ig? QU T .

HINTS TO FRESHMEN When entering school be sure that you understand perfectly that when you have paid your tuition, you have bot the institu- tion. Be sure to advise the classifying com- mittee that you were a person of some note in your high school, otherwise they may never find it out. Talk on every occasion whether you have any knowledge on the subject or not-it matters little. Always be a sport. Wear the loudest clothing possible, green excepted. lf you are not mathematically inclined and can- not determine the year in which you will graduate, ask a senior. In order to attract the attention due you, kick over a few chairs and whisper out loud in the library, or ask one of the young ladies of the Faculty for a date. Pretend you are a person of leisure. Studying is a bad habit, besides it weakens the intellect and deprives you of a good time. In other words, do not let study interfere with pleasure. y When you go to the dining hall, eat as fast as you can. The food might get all ?5i5 ' gone before you have finished. Don't flirt with the men for they may be married. It is bad etiquette to change your girl. Two can live cheaper than one. Get mar- ried and live in the place prepared for those that love and serve-their wives. In the event it is in the year of Leap, it is exceedingly bad form for a young lady to covet aiections from a young man.

FABLE A LA NAMES A Valliant Fisher and a Christian from Frantz, and a Greene Bowman from the Brown forest, with Shepp, took a Neiswander thru the Dell. Coming Neher the Westbrook they were enjoy- ing the babble of the Clyde, when, sud- denly, down in the Moors and Glen, they chanced to Spicer fspy sirj , grass Green- ing. Close by was a Trapp sprung on the Shank of a Blackman. They jazzed on to the top of the Hill where they be- held before them Flatt, Sandy, Lowe places, Boggs of mud and many Bram- mels, and only one Rose and a Fern. They became hungry wandering thru this distracted waste without Rhodes. They saw ten Millers but got no flour, they met three Bakers who had no loaves. Famished, they made three Betts on who could Russell the most eats , The Fisher found a Pair, and discovered a Hershey and three Olives in his pocket which made his eyes Beam. The Bow man shot two Jays, four Mart- ins, and a dear which was soon hung upon a Derrick. Shepp added to the repast by catching a Mohle-r two. They concocted a meal resembling dorm hash which they ate after Chris- tian said Grace. Fisher sat on a Stump with the Bow man on his Lapp. They 01:12 llu nflrcfl Fifty- Th ree i V L. ! ri iz iil ill, .ititiaiii l One Hundrfvi Fifty-F'o11r j concluded with a Small supply of Wine fnot in Kansasb and, talking politics, de- cided to Vogt for Hoover. Being Neher a lake they got into a boat manned by four Saylors and propelled by Ethel al- cohol, but there came up a strong Gale-n lclew them across. Suddenly it became Merkey overhead, the north wind did Howell, and they were about to Fries. A large Wave struck the boat, May I Rowe? asked the Fisher. Yes, Urey hero said the Bow man with a Si. Tak- ing Hope they struggled on and without any Harms came to a Haven on the op- posite Shores, where they were safe to Muse upon the event. They were met by a Bishop without a cowl, a Mason without a trowel, three Lehman, a Shoe- maker, two Sargents, and King Louis fwith the Blair of trumpetsb wearing a Nice Ruby and Pearl chain about his fair Whiteneck. They would go to their Holmes, but Christian rang the Bell for church where they found a Boone for cvery Paine. Thus Seth Osborne. THE SECOND BEST Si Keim: I don't see what you have to complain of. Haven't you had the best of everything since we were mar- ried? Mrs. Keim: Well, I didn't marry the best man at our wedding. MERRY-GO-ROUND , Funk: Say, Bill, let me have five will you? Fisher just borrowed five from me. Bill R.: Can't do it old man, I just borrowed five from Fisher a minute ago. Alberta Neher, in Theism: Dr. Culler will you explain hell?

The first store and the town hall were erected in 1872. From this small beginning McPherson has grown to be the enterprising and attractive city we see today with a popu- lation of five thousand, supporting institutions that would -be a credit to a much older and larger city. McPherson is an educational center. It is the home of two denomina- tional colleges-McPherson College, directed by the Church of the Brethren, and Central Academy and College, controlled by the Free Methodist Church. There are two public grade schools, and one accredited high school. The school buildings are new and modern in every respect. There are two Carnegie Libraries, one established by the city and the other by McPher- son College. McPherson is a commercial center drawing its trade from all parts of a county rich in resources and grain. Two large flour mills are in operation night and day. A foundry has recently been erected. The Farmers' Alliance Insurance Company and the headquarters of the Shaw- Bagley Investment Company are located at McPherson. There are five reliable banks. The business section presents a pleasing and prosperous appearance. A beautiful white way adorns Main street, and electric signs and artistically decorated windows add to the attractiveness of the stores. The Poehler Who'lesale Grocery House, of Topeka, recently established a branch here. Four railroads, the Rock lsland, Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and Missouri Pacific enter the city, alfording excellent transportation facilities. McPherson is an inviting spot because of her beautiful homes, well kept lawns, shade trees, and public improvements. There are twenty miles of first class paving and every street is well lighted. The waterworks and lighting system are municipally controlled. There are three Well kept parks. Central Park contains an ornamental bronze equestrian statue of General James McPherson, for whom the city and county were named. The city of McPherson is a religious center. Eleven denominations have modern church edifices in the city. The various pulpits are filled with broad minded men of more than ordinary ability and earnestness. McPherson is a city of high ideals. The young people are provided with the best of amusements. The Opera House and Tourney Motion Pic- ture Theatre offer high class stage and screen productions. A Redpath- Horner Lyceum course is given each winter under the auspices of the two colleges and the city. As a city, McPherson offers an ideal place of residence, a desirable climate and location together with the best educational, religious, business and social advantages that the most exacting may demand.

It is something of a shock to the sweet girl graduate who has spent her youth in digging up the Latin roots, studying the Greek forms, and acquiring a working knowledge of French, German, and Hebrew, to find that the only language her lover really appreciates is baby talk. 1 , Une Iflllllilfll Eijlllfjl-Sf.I' A ' is Co-Operative Established 1890.

WISDOM There is no cream in cream of tartar, in old cream or choco- late creams, no milk of magnesia in milkweed or cocoanut. These are all as remote from the cow as the cowslip. There is no grape in grape fruit nor bread in breadfruit. A pineapple in neither pine or apple, a prickly pear is not a pear, an alligator pear is neither a pear nor an alligator, and a sugar plum is not a plum. Apple-but- ter is not butter, all the butter is out of buttermilk, and there is none in butter-nuts or butter-cups, and the fly in the milk is not a butterfly. Peanuts are not peas, and it is doubtful if they are nuts. Sailors wear pea-jackets-peas do not, they have peacods, which, by the way, are not fish. Monkey wrenches are no relation to monkeys. Ottar of roses is not extracted from the otter. Poles are not made from pole-cats nor badges from the badger. A lathe chuck is not a wood chuck, but a wood chuck is a ground hog, which is not a hog and is not ground-ground hog is sausage. A lathe mandrel is not a monkey, tho a mandrill is. Angel food is eaten by everybody-when they can get it.-There are no sponges in sponge cake, and the eating of lady-fingers does not import can- nibalism. When a person is hoarse. he is not a horse. A horse- chestnut is as far removed from a horse as a saw-horse, clothes- horse, or horse-radish. A horse-chestnut is a nut, so are some persons. Some nuts go with bolts. A doughnut does not grow on any tree unless it is the pantry. Whiffle-trees, boot-trees. hall- trees, and family-trees are as out of place in the woods as a railway frog, a fish-plate, a fish story, a mackerel sky, or a crabapple in water. Chicken-pox has nothing to do with chickens, neither has an egg-plant, nor a cocktail. Pussy-willow and cat tails are no more feline than a catnip tree. Strawberries do not grow on straw or gooseberries on geese. THE McPHERSON AUTO PAINT and TOP SHOP HARTSBURG CO. A. M. RICE DR. W. C. HEASTON DR. I W. E.

Chester: No, I told him about yours and he ordered me away for a rest.
