Mid-Scmcster and Health.
We aro in the middle of mid-semester
examination week. For the
best of btiuli-iits it is a hard week and
for those who have not kept their
work up it is a period of unusual
strain. If the amount of studying
done during this week could he meas
ured the results would undoubtedly
show a large increase over any pre
ceding week.
The emphasis placed upon mid-semester
tests by different instructors
-varies, but there are comparatively
few instructors who do not give some
sort of a review examination. In
some courses the examination grade
will be the determining factor in de
ciding the grade for the first half
of the semester.
Stories of students who study al
most all night and of those who skip
one class to prepare for a test ir.
another are frequently heard. Some
students do not ent because they do
not have time, and they take less
than the minimum amount of sleep.
Such utter disregard for the rules of
living makes it almost impossible to
keep the normal physical poise dur
ing the period of examination.
Failure to, maintain physical poise
results in that terrible examination
week nervousness. Xo one can do
his best mentally when he is not
physically fit.
Therefore it is more necessary this
week than ever to do all that is pos
sible to maintain one's health. Eat
ing and sleeping regularly are essen
tial. If forced to loose sleep one
night the student should sleep the fol
lowing day. Periods of relaxation
immediately following meals, when
talk of examinations is taboo, will
help to maintain poise.
Proper observance of the rules of
health will do much to help the stu
dent to approach the examinations
with his brain clear and ready to
function at its best.
No Failure or Defeat.
In the eyes of the world our foot
ball team is credited with having
been defeated. It may be a distinc
tion without a difference, but those
whose faith in the team has dwindled
not one whit, would rather put it
that the team has met with a defeat,
but have not failed.
Defeats are always included in the
Ciota of pleasures and vicissitudes
that are meted out to every man is
his portion of life. This existence
of ours was not planned to be one
continuous succession of triumps and
jubilation. It is an occasional setback
that helps to build fiber and determin
ation; it is the food that nourishes the
fighting spirit; the bitter dose that
counteracts the growing peril of fail
ure which excess good fortune tends
to breed.
A defeat is not a failure unless the
struggle ends there. The indomitable
spirit rises again, and flourishes on
the experience that defeat has
brought. After all, a defeat, is an
honorable thing.
So loyal Nehraskans contend that
their fighting Cornhtiskers are not a
defeated team. They have lost none
of their fight because they have been
made to bow to the'r first defeat
this season.
The philosophy of the Nehraskans
is expressed in the verse:
"Then take this honey for the bit
terest cup.
There is no failure- save in giving
up;
No real fall bo long . a one still
tries,
For seeming setbacks make the
strong man wise."

EGG LAYING RACE
RECORDS INCREASE
The average production of all birds
in the third Nebraska-National egg-
laying contest which ended October
31, was 1G1.0S eggs per bird for the
year, according to a report just is
sued by the speicallsts in charge at
the University of Nebraska Agricul
tural college. Last year the average
was 154 eggs per bird, so that the
recorded increase this year was a
consistent one. This is at least twice
the number of eggs laid by the aver-
ge Nebraska hen, and shows that
the poultry industry still Is one of
the state's undeveloped resources.
Seventy-eight hens laid two hun
dred eggs or better during the year.
the highest record of 279 eggs being
;iade by a Single Comb White Leg
horn hen, owned by George B. Ferris
of Grand Rapids, Mich. The highest
production for an entire entry to ten
hens was made by birds owned by

The purpose of the laying contest
Is to dovelop interest in the breeding
of better lnying strains of poultry, a
breeding program based on the use
of the best layers, being the most
important part of the project. Forty
seven of the fifty-eight entries in the
fourth annual contest are entored by
'Nebraska breeders, tho others coming
for Colorado, Missouri, Michigan,
Kansas, Ohio, Oregon and Washing
ton. This contest is being administered
by the Nebraska Agricultural college.
The director of tho experiment sta
tion and the members of the depart
ment of poultry husbandry consti
tute the eontost staff. The project
lias Von located on a five-acre tract
on the college farm. One hundred
entries of ten standard-bred pullets
nch. constitute each laying contest.
Each breeder is urged to send in the
most typical and best colored birds
of his flock. The contest birds are
housed in flocks of 200 each, the
same varieties being segregated
v hetiever possible. Thus tho same
conditions are more readily assured
and labor and equipment cost, is
Imvcrod. Dirds are trapnested and
accurate records of production, labor
and feed costs, broodiness and SO
forth are kept by the managers
Copies of all data are mailed to the
entrant. The contest begins on Nov.
1 and ends on October 31 of each
year. Birds are returned to the own
ers at the end of the year. All eggs
aro the property of the department
of poultry husbandry.
The fourth contest is just now be
ginning. Ten pullets sired by cock
erels from high hens of the first con
test constitute the entries.
RED CROSS ROLL
CALL THIS MONTH
The siNlh annual roll call of the
American Red Cross, with a goal of
75.000 members in Nebraska, will he
instituted the latter part of this
month, according to N. Z. Rnell. state
director. Preliminary organization is
almost complete nil over the state.
Headquarters for Nebraska were es
tablished early in October in the city
hall in Lincoln. Most chapters are
planning active house to house can
vasses during the drive.
"The roll call situation in eastern
Nebraska Is especially good," said
Mr. Snell, "but indications from chap
ters in all parls of the state indicate
that every person will be given an
opportunity to join the Red Cross.
Some chapters will emphasize the
local need, others will stress a great
national membership to aid our
,(i.nno soldiers who are still in hos
pitals. This is a responsibility which1
calls for the entire support of the
state.
"Pawnee county chapter has a lo
cal program which they think is near
the heart of every mother therefore
every mother is being asked to be
come a member. Merrick county is
getting out h letter to every Red
Cross member telling of its needs.
Antelope. Poyd and Knox counties
are asking each branch town to as
sume responsibility for its district, re
porting to county hcndcjuarters. In
Dakota county some members think
a health program Is most needed, and
some that work for ex-service men
is most needed. The Red Cross com
mittee hopes to get enough members
to carry both phases of the work.
Dodire county has distributed small
cards with the year's work, and show
ing both the local and national
budgets. Adams and Kearney coun
ties have also completed elaborated
plans while Gage county owing to
local conditions were forced to com
mence their roll call two weeks ago."
