100 PER CENT FOR TARLETON
HOLT'S DRUG STORE
HOW TO GET BY
He had loafed along the entire sem-
ester. He hadn't cracked a book or
taken a single note—all he had taken
was his minimum number of cuts.
And with the finals but two days off,
he strolled aimlessly to his classes,
with that same calm, confident look.
The day before the exam he amused
himself in class by scribbling notes to
a co-ed in front of him. And that
night with exams facing him the next
day, he finished a book he had started,
retired about midnight for a refresh-
ing sleep before those exams.
He walked leisurely to class the
next morning—borrowed an examina-
tion book and pen, and stared blankly
for a minute at the quiz. He then
wrote his name on the little blue exam
book with great care and neatness,
and gazed dreamingly off into the dis-
tance, An hour later he roused him-
self with a start, jumped to his feet,
turned in the paper with only his sig-
nature written on it and walked brisk-
ly out, his strangely confident air un-
shaken. This same performance he
repeated with methodical exactness in
his other five subjects.
Friday came and with it the cards
carrying the final term grades. He
received his, and absently turned' it
over several times before opening it.
A crowd of curious, expectant students
crowded eagerly around him. Surely
he had flunked out! Impossible that
he had passed a subject! And yet
they lost their assured air when he so
casually opened the little envelope
and gazed at it. He smiled condescend-
ingly at the group. Precisely what he
expected had happened.
He had flunked out in five courses
and incidently out of school.
TEN STINGY MEN
No, 1 took off his cow-bell each
night to save the wear on it while the
cow was in the lot.
i No. 2 stopped his clock on going to
bed because he did not need its ser-
vices while he slept.
No. 3 used a wart on the back of
his neck for a collar button.
No. 4 made his children climb the
yard fence to keep from wearing out
his yard gate-hinges.
No. 5 crossed his bees with lightning
bugs so they would gather honey at
night.
No. 6 put green goggles on his cow
so he could feed her wooden shavings"
for green grass.
No. 7 put muzzles on his ducks to
keep them from drinking too much
branch water.
No. 8 cut off his dog's tail to keep
him from switching it and knocking
off his huckleberries.
No. 9 had his wedding in the back
yard so the chickens could eat the rice.
No. 10 sang through his nose to save
wear and tear on his false teeth.

MAJESTIC THEATRE
Saurday, May 28th
"STEPPING ALONG"
With. Johnny Hines and Mary Brian
When Johnny ran for mayor all the kids in the block ran
for Johnny. And what kids! But Johnny wasn't half as
interested in running for office as in -running after' one
particular girl. You'll step-a-Iong-way before you see a
funnier comedy than this.
Thieves don't want checks—but CASH.
Why accommodate the thief?
