TELLING THE TRUTH IN AN
INTERESTING MANNER.
There la nothing so discouraging as
to read a great deal of wonderful ma
terial about something you are going
to buy and then find out with keen
disappointment that what you pur
chased waa just about 40 per cent shy.
People want to know all about
what they Intend to purchase and
they expect it to be built upon truth.
The Bnccesa .of some of America's
greatest business establishments has
beon based upon the value of under
estimating rather than overestimating
what Ihey have to sell.. So when the
country storekeeper, Deacon Smith,
gets up In prayer meeting and Bays
loud enough for the congregation to
hear. "Oh Lord, what a miserable
sinner I am," no one gets excited.
They know that the Deacon does not
mean it but Is using the technical
language of the prayer meeting.
But suppose the old Deacon yelled
out loud enough bo that all could
hear, "Oh Lord, I have been giving
short weight in my store," or "I have
been flirting with the milliner," every
man and woman In the church would
listen with bated breath.
Now, If you have any clever
hunches or suggestions to claim that
the Annual this year will be radically
different, but all the claims we make
will be underestimated, as we know
that the final test is the acid test.
When you examine this book you are
going to say, "The Management Told
the Truth."
Of course there are going to be a
number of Interesting humorous fea
tures in the joke section that will be
almost as exciting aa what Deacon
Smith could say If he would. To tell
them here would spoil a good thing.
Wait until the book is out
Now, If you have any clever
hunches or suggestions or snappy pic
tures or koiaks that would make
most interesting material, De sure ana
pend them in, or, better still, bring
them in yourseir. me isi urn
husker will welcome you with out
stretched anna.
CHRISTMAS SEAL DRIVE.
The Nebraska Tuberculosis Asso
ciation will soon begin Its annual
campaign to sell 'Christmas seals.
Fifty thousand dollars has been
named as the minimum fund to be
raised; it all the seals are Bold they
will bring $100,000. ' The tuberculosis
work budget provides for administra
tion, nurses, health literature, educa
tion and publicity, material relief and
Incidentals.
Individuals and organizations desir
ing to help sell Christmas seals should
get in touch at once with headquar
ters or with local organizations work
ing in the campaign. There Is mucli
territory unorganized for the cam
paign. What about your home townT
Why not learn the details of the cam
paign at once? Then when you go
home for Thanksgiving, if your
locality la not organized, interest
some of the public-spirited citizens in
the Christmas seal drive.
THE PRESS CLUB
The Press Club will be organized
tonight This Is a distinct step
r.wrl better group of journalists
st the University. Colleges in the
east have formed these clubs and
from the membership of these so
cietiea are picked the most able men
and women for the college puhiica
tions. Besides, a club with an enroll
ment aa large as will probably be
hart t Nebraska there is no reason
that the University should not be
vent before the eyes of the entire
state through news sent to their
homes by the various members. The
men and women of the pen will be
brought together by such an organl
ration In a way that no other organi
zation on the cfimrn is able to accom
plish. Like Ideals of Journalism will
be developed. Better work In the
fleid of wrIUng will result A strong
centralisation of th school writers
will result
It will enable all the men and
women of the University who are
interested in this branch of work to
get together, to understand the needs
of the University in the writing field
and to bring out the latent powers or
heretofore unknowns in the Journal
istic side of school. The club is
being organized .by Sigma Delta Chi,
men's honorary Journalistic society,
in co-operation with Theta Sigma Phi,
women's honorary Journalistic society.
The move 1b approved by a number
of prominent Lincoln newspapermen
and University authorities. The club
is open to all students interested in
Journalism and these are invited to
attend the meeting tonight

MISTAKES.
If three little schools stood in a row,
With never a fence between;
If eaoh little sohol had three little
boys
At work In an English course.
And each little boy had three mis
takes, Three times, three times, three;
And each mistake caused there more
mistakes,
How many mistakes would there
be?
And each little boy had three little
friends,
Wuh whom he played every day;
And each little friend made three
mistakes.
In his vocabulary every day.
And friends, mistakes, and boys
All went out to tea,
And all of them made a grammatical
mistake,
How many mistakes would there
be?

Monday at Bushnell Guild Home
These were the words that carried
to the ears of some twenty-five sound
sleepers in the Bushnell Guild chap
ter house, 1701 L street about 6
o'clock Monday morning when two
Freshmen, who had been Bleeping on
the third floor, discovered a small
blaze on the fraternity house roof.
These words were far more effec
tive as a summons to drag weary stu
denta from their bunks than the
loudest of cow bells, or the shrillest
of "Big Bens." They were the means
of bringing the eleepera "down to
earth" and to the realization that the
Are was not merely a dream.
Several trips to the faucet sufficed
to put out the blaze; but not until a
good-sized hole was burned in the
roof and the temperature of the house
proportionately lowered.
