have filled their places are Gilmer
Williams, Roy Wells, commonly
known as speedy, and M. P. Brooks
better known as Little Bozo.
Everything so far has been quiet
enough. The only thing that has
caused us any excitement 'was
Speedy's shoes catching on fire.
Oh, he moves so fast sometimes
we have to pour water on his, feet.
Ask McDonald where he went
this week end, and why he came
back so.suddenly.
Kenneth Williams is getting to
be a regular rambler. He went to
Houston, Denison and we don't
have the slightest idea where else.
Yet there is someone who knows—
she knows. i
Ned' White came back ail nerv-
ous and excited. Why, he is al-
most a nervous wreck. It keeps
us guessing as to whether he is
married or just in love.
Get up out of bed and make that
chow!. We have to be off like a

fast.
We will wail some other time.

NEWS ITEMS
Quite a number of Tarleton stu-
dents, taking advantage of the hol-
iday Monday, went home for a few
days visit. We wonder if the lit-
tle motor had had so many passen-
gers since Christmas as it had on
Saturday morning. The following
boys and1 girls bumped noisily
down the, road on it: Henry
Haynes, Loraine Webb, Andrew
Kendrick, Erline Winfield, Bonnie
Touchstone, Hazel, Farmer, Ber-
tha Miller, Mollie Lee Brown, Zeta
Wall and Tressie Meharg, Gates-
ville; Misses Blansits, Hamilton;
Mrs. Inez Asmby Carlton; Velma
Watson, Jonesboro; Gladys John-
son, Ireland.
Some of the pasengers tried to
sleep, but, having had no such vio-
lent rocking since they were in-
fants gave up* the idea.
Other dormitory girls who went
home the past week end are Jean
Smith, Stella Meador, Quata Rich-
bourg, Dorothy Gleeson and Hula
Mae Howertfon, Hico; Francis Old-
ham, Gorman; Mrs. Alma Lester,
Comanche; Blanche Yarbrough,
Narrel Spear, Carbon.
Mae O'Brien, ex-stud'ent of Tar-
leton who is teaching near Gran-
bury, spent the past week end wtih
relatives in Stephenville. ■
Lucille Kyle and Miss Henni-
gan went to Brownwood Sunday.
Mae Cantrell, "Pat" Patton and
Mr. and Mrs. Moody spent Sunday
in Fort Worth.

FARMERS FIRST-NATIONAL BANK
Hail! Hail! The Gang"s All
Here! Right behindl the Plow-
boys now.
We were right behind those
Plowboys Friday and Saturday
nights. Wasn't that some little
game Saturday night? We believe
that we helped to win it. . When
that tournament begins Friday,
you can bet your last pair of socks
that we'll be there strong. On Ye
Tarleton!
Well, how did it happen? Little
Bo, whom we all thought absolute-
ly immune (he said so himself,)
has contracted that awful disease.
They can't tell me that this disease
is due to the alluring influence of
Spring, or that it is limited to the
Springtime alone. It has no lim-
its either as to persons or as to
seasons.
Take Corporal McCloran for ex-
ample, Not long ago. he was a
model boy, modiest and retiring.
Now he is the shiek of the campus.
Another good man gone wrong.
Questions we would like to have
answered:
1. Why is it that when you ask
any of the boys where they went
during the week end, they all give
the same answer, "Glen Rose?"
2. Why is it that Fish McDon-
ald turned around at Dublin and
came back, when he started to
Hico Saturday night?
Rules for the Fort Purple Book:
1. Never let the other boys
sleep after you get up in the mornr
ing. If they needed the ■ sleep,
why didn't they.go to bed.earlier?
2. If anyone has anything you
want, get it and use it.-\ >You can
ask the owner about it-later.
3. Never miss an opportunity
, to throw something down the hall.
The noise is, always appreciated.
Then, too, you might hit some-
body.
4. Always: wait until the jani-
tor has swept the. hall, then sweep
your room. Leave the trash in j
the hall.
Failure to comply with any of
the above rules, makes the offender
subject to the. goodwill of all who
observe them.

Supplement to Fort Frolics <
(Dedicated d.a the girls back home
by "Spot and Paul.")
According to all of the informa-
tion we can gather, the "happy
home" had a few lonely "old lad-
ies" within its walls last week end.
The Colonel went to Dallas; Mqs-
sey went to see his wife; Glazener
struck out to Hogtown; Mac got a
wild notion to go somewhere but
got cold, feet at Dublin; Kenneth
is in Houston; Akin went home;
Paul and Spot went to Kosse ; and
some went to Glen Rose!
We are wondering who missed
the most—you, by not going home
to HER, or we, by not being here
to enjoy the civies and privileges.
So far as we know, no one re-
turned with "eatums" (girls back
home take' notice.) However,
Akin, ip one of his attempts to
gain popularity and favor with the
co-eds, produced a box of sand-
wiches on the motor; they went
over big. Finks you can just drop
your snare drum work and devote
your time to your new misfortune,
for Akin has returned with a snare
drum!
We are glad to note the new ad-
dition to the Fort in the capacity
of the bell. How about the par-
lor andi telephone now. Dean
Davis ?
Nevertheless, the bell has its
disadvantages in that it will dis-
turb the eight o'clock sleepers and
will deprive us of a very good ex-
cuse for being late to class.
Wonder who the ransackers in
the Fort are? Hiler, the Bozoes,
and Mac are the new victims. They
had a sweet time wrestling with
the mattresses, etc., getting them
into their original positions.
The girls back home will please
advise us as to whether this sup-
plement meets with their approval.
just can't realize how it makes a
fellow feel to glance up at the stu-
dents and to gee some with long
faces and sleepy looks." It must
be disheartening. But it is our
place as students to realize how
the players feel, and' to furnish
them encouragement through our
enthusiasm, each time they glance
upi Those who were at the game
Saturday night saw about one-
half of our student body make
about twice as much noise as the
entire student body has ever made
before. The nicest part about
that fact is that the score went up
with the enthusiasm of the stu-
dents and stayed "up" until the
gun shot. It was a grand game.
We want to, and must do the same
throughout the entire time of the
tournament. We have the com-
petent and willing players—-if with
this is joined the honest support of
the student body, we have' State
Championship ahead of us.

When he was visiting the College a
few days ago, Mr. Charles L. Skelley,
representative of the Macmillan Book
Company of New York, was making
inquiries as to the number of girls in
the home economics department. He
was astonished to learn that about one
hundred twentyrfive were enrolled in
some phase of this work in the junior'
year alone. He; declared that he had
not found another school that could
show such a re'pord as to home eco-
nomics students in the first year of
college work. It is indeed gratifying
that so many of our Tarleton girls
avail themselves of the opportunity
which the State has provided for them
to study the science and art of home-
making. It is not an easy course—no
curriculum that has chemistry as one
of its foundation stones can be called
easy—and naturally some girls shy
oft" from it on that account. But the
fact remains that we have an un-
usually large percent taking home
economics ■ and enjoying their work
in it. i

When you go to a ball game and
you've got a bad cold and you're
afraid your team is going to get
beat, because they got beat the
night before, and the band is not
out nor all the students—you feel
discouraged, yell your best and
not take it too hard if they do beat
us. Then the game starts and you
get excited and nearly ruin your
throat when your team gets a lit-
tle ahead, but the other team gets
ahead pretty soon and it looks like
you're going to get beat again in
spite of everything, and you feel
like you could murder the oppos-
ing players, arid would like to,soclc
the referee in the neck, and about
that time the gang starts fighting
a little harder andi succeeds in ty-
ing the score and then makes an-
other goal to put them ahead, and
you forget ^ou ever had a cold or
a throat and yell like mad and beat
your hands and feet sore on the
seats and wall, and then after that
last minute that seems like a week,
the gun finally bangs iand the
game is over. Oh, boy! Ain't it
a grand and glorious feelin'.?
