Alex, the little man who always wears a black derby and
smokes black cigars has become a pest. The other day he set
up a eot under the copy desk and announced that be had be
come a undereovernian on the Daily Nebraskan staff.
Badly in need of an undereovernian since we did not have
ne, and every good newspaper, Alex said, has an undercover
woman. We permitted him to stay on the provision that he
smoke two for a nickel cigars instead of the four for a jit
which is five cents kind. He agreed, so now the Daily Nebras
kan has an undercoverman.
Yesterday, Alex slipped into the office after having done
some undercover work. Deriding his neck into the office before
entering, pointing his cigar into every corner as if fearing an
enemy, he entered the room, made a dash for the copy desk, and
dived on to his eot.
What's undercover, Alex?" we said.
"It's those Mortar Boards," he breathed deeply.
"What are they doing undercover," we asked.
Alex looked at us disgustedly. "They're not undercover.
I'm undercover. They're the object of my attentions."
"You mean affections?" we interrupted.
"No attentions," he replied quickly. "Those women are
worse than the normal run of women ; all they have is secrets,
txcept they're always whispering 'em to somebody."
"What's wrong with that?"
"What's wrong?" He bit into the cigar, his teetch clicking
together as a piece of chawed tobacco fell to the floor. He spat,
inhaled, tipped his derby and declared ceremoniously. "They
never whisper the same thing to any one person."
We were silent. Alex obviously wanted to continue unin
terrupted. "One minute, they say they're going to mask ten gals on
Ivy Day. Then, confidentially, they say only six will be hon
ored, and some of them have said 15, 16, 13 and 11 would be
masked. Whv do thev talk if thev aren't going to tell?
"Why?""
My question didn't strike home as Alex continued, "It
won't be less than 10 if it isn't 10. I undercovered that."
"What else did you undercover," we asked.
"Well," be said. "A couple of gals who were slated for
cinch Mortar Boards aren't going to be; in fact, they'll be at
tending the Ivy Day Queen."
"Thanks" we said. "Who would have thought that a cou
ple of disappointed Mortar Boards were to be attendants!
How could this paper continue without an undercoverman," we
remarked sarcastically as we left the room.
"I wonder how," wiuttcred Alex.

Testirg of the samples is needed
rot only to secure supplies of the
pure seed immediately for the in
dustrial concern but also to be sure
that only pure seed is planted this
year. Farmers are urged by agron
omists to plant acceptable seed of
Leoti for their forage sorghum this
fear.
Agronomists E. F. Frolik and
U. L. Cushing said "we are not
in position to recommend planting
Leoti for grain since we have no
informtion on the possible price,
but certainly where forage sor
ghum is to be grown anyway, Leoti
might well be the choice because
tests show that it is an excellent
variety. By planting pure seed of
this variety, the grain will be
available for industrial use and
may bring the farmer a substantial
added income."
