QUALITY MERCHANDISE
Why Should We All
Reverence March 2?
Just what does March the second
mean to you, and what should it mean
to you? Does it simply mean a holi-
day that will give you the privilege of
enjoying- yourself? Do you ever
think of what that day should mean to
you and what it meant to our fore-
fathers the day they rebelled against
Mexico's tyrannical government ? Do
you ever stop to think how courageous
and how determined these men must
have been to look at the powerful
Mexican armies, as weak as they
themselves were, and say, "We de-
nounce such a government; we are no
longer a part of it." Who knows, save
the Almighty, what Texas would to-
day be, had not these men expressed
themselves at this time. It might have
been taken by some European power,
or it might have stayed in the hands
of the Mexicans for some length of
time at least, and all of you know of
the backwardness of Mexico's civiliz-
ation, and especially do those of you
who have been in Old Mexico realize
this. Cities of several thousand peo-
ple have only a dozen automobiles;
dwelling houses are locked and barred
every night; and practically half the
business houses are saloons. No nor-
mal American would think of living
under such conditions.
We as Texans should regard March
the second as one of the most) if not
the most important day of the year.
One would say that April the twenty-
first is far more important than Mareh
the second. It is true that the battle
of San Jacinto won the war for the
Texans, but the Declaration of Inde-
pendence had to precede this.. You
must remember that before one goes
in bathing it is necessary for him to
first go where there is water.
In order to build up patriotism
and pride for Texas, we should give
programs and lectures on Declaration
Day, as Mrs. Fields suggeseed the
other day. Every public school in
Texas, should_.have a Texas flag.
Esther Sue: "I am trying to get
ahead."
Thelma: "Heaven known, you need
one."
FORT FROLICS
The inmates of Fort John spent
a delightful week in peace, quiet,
and study—that is, for members of
the Fort gang. To be sure, there
was a great deal of noise and con-
fusion from the rush of the; an-
xious and zealous students going
to their work after seven-thirty
each evening.
We now have in our midst one
of the potential strong men of the
world. This illustrous young man
is training under the directions of
the great von Livingston. Bern
P. Allen, the potential strong man,
issues a challenge to all comers
in feats of strength.
Gilmer, Jud, Glazner and
Happy are now well established
in our happy home. A large part
of the regular initiation ceremony
was omitted in the case of these
four men on account of the season
being so far advanced; this om-
ittance causedi much displeasure
to these men, no doubt.
Little Bozo is now a sergeant
and has stripes on his sleeve, as
well as some other parts of his
body. Bo says that misfortunes
come singly. Look what a beau-
tiful case of heart trouble he has.
It is a shame and disgrace to
the Fort that one of our number
had to do regular Saturday after-
noon drill. The course in extra
drill that was held in the Fort last
month should be Resumed. We
cannot let one of our number be
drafted for the Saturday afternoon
period.
The Fort gang attended the bas-
ketball tournament ancl yelled for
Tarleton until everyone was very
hoarse. When we come home from
the Grubbs game, we haid several
Grubbs boys for guests. You see,
the "conductors" on the "Midnight
Special" were very unkind and
the poor boys had to have a place
to sleep. There was a general
celebration in honor of the fact
that Tarleton was again State
ehampiijnsn— We ~irow~ have -two
championships for this season, and
the Fort will back the teams for
the baseball and tx*ack pennant.
We, the members of the gang, at
Old' Fort John on the Bosque, ex-
tend to one and all a hearty wel-
come. Come and visit our home
and be one of our company. This
invitation is extended particular-
ly to strange freshmen.

BAXLEY'S STUDIO
ALL OUR PATRONS are enthusias-
tic about the photographs we have
made for them.
You too, will be delighted.
—BAXLEY'S STUDIO
The "Waiter's Wail" should never
fail
To appear in the paper of our
school;
Because if it must,
You would everyone fuss,
And die with the want of some
news.
The Waiter's hop should never
stop
In our beloved old dump;
Because if we must,
You would everyone cuss,
And die with' hunger or mumps.
If love makes a person lose his
appetite, McDonald is certainly
a woman hater, because when he
doesn't eat what's on the Waiter's
table, it is just because Gilmer
has been there first. Now, folks,
keep an eye on these waiters; ev-
eryone of them havd made, resolu-
tions to "pour it on," not speak-
ing of putting gravy on meat but
giving you service. Say, you just
ought to see that bunch work after
every meal. They are just as sys-
tematic as a Singer sewing ma-
chine. Now this is enough talk
about ourselves, but we like every
one that eats at our tables. We
haven't enough space to tell you
just how much, we do like you, be-
cause this is the junior issue of the
J-Tac, and they have plenty of
news to put in what space we
might take up. And remember,,
"Speedy," the fastest hupian on
feet when it comes to. hopping
tables.
FRESHMAN SPIRIT
THE AGGIE CREW
SAVERS WANTED
Whenever we succeed in persuading an individual to be-
come a saver of money we consider that we have conferred
a benefit upon him and upon the community.
We want to interest more savers
FARMERS FIRST-NATIONAL BANK
Here we are again, gang. We told
you we would cQme again. Now we
are going to tell you what we have
been doing ever since we began our
drive to put thole A's over in Agri-
culture.
Well we all made the honor roll, but
three of us missed our A all right.
Luck got hers, however, as Luck would
have it, and she has been boring the
rest of us to death talking- about it.
Mrs. Love "spent last week-end in
Fort Worth. She spent Monday ob-
serving in the ward schools there. She
came back with a whole raft of new
spring- things, and now she is boring
her room mate Luck, to death sporting
them.
Miss Hope is suffering a serious in-
jury caused by mashing her thumb
with a hammer in wood work a few
days ago.'
Miss Faith says since she lost her A
she has also lost her faith—in Mr,
Gearreald.
Now, Plowboys, we are right behind
you of course, but then you aren't all
we are backing up. We are going- to
give fifteen not only for the team but
for those students who have to work
here for then- schooling- and study at
the same time. They may not be so
popular as the team and they don't get
so much recognition, but we need
'"em," every one. So stay in there, all
you fellows who are working your
way, and remember when you get dis-
couraged that we are for you four
strong, and you know the four leaf
clover always brings luck.
We'll come once more before school
is out and tell our real "sure nough"
names. The Crew.
US AN* CREW
We are just as healthy this week as
ever. In fact, we feel a great deal
better after "pouring it on" Grubbs,
Say, aren't we proud of our Plowboys ?
The Crew vaguely wonders if
"Gritts" is still standinp up. And did
Billie get those pictures? She had
better give an account of her recent
actions. She is even threatening to go
to Brownwood now.
Bob did not go home as usual this
week. Instead she had some special
company. I think she owes us a little
explanation also.
Henry got over the mumps all right.
From all reports he might like to have
it again, since it afforded him such a
pleasant vacation at home.
Yours for better or worse. S'long.
I have heard it said that Tarleton's
spirit "ain't what is used to be." Those
who said it were upperclassmen. When
one goes to a ball game, does he hear
as much yelling from upperclassmen
as he does from underclassmen ? I do
not believe that over half of the up-
perclassmen really "put out."
Another thing, upperclassmen, as a
whole, do not care what their company
does at drlil. New men try harder to
please their superiors when at drill.
This is shown by the number of new
men that have been made non-commis-
sioned officers.
When we are doing anything for
Tarleton let us remember that—
"It's not the individual
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlastnig
Teamwork of every
Blooming soul."

Broke, no money! If any, not much.
Hurry, scurry, toil and strife
But after all—just college life.
