well bo oliitngoti to blue Tuesday or
any day that down slips come out. Tin
time of year, when winter hns ended and
summer is on its way is a particularly
hard season in which to study you know,
picnics and all that sort of thing and
the incentive for cutting classes is bigger
than ever. All those good resolutions
made nt the first of the year come to
practically nothing, and Cornhuskers are
anticipating the little white slips that
spell doom as far ns most families are
concerned. It's just too bad that school carries on thru spring
or that spring conies when it does, for it's so hard to study
that most people don't, and then calamity comes in the form
of down slips.

had resolved to cover approximate

spent several hours, bowling, that

the bowling balls, and cowa at the

"At Le Pitt," Proffeaoor Fling:
recalled mustrply, "there is a rock

crssary amornt of contrariness, we
determined to mount the top. After

Foil Irate Landlady.
Between amused chuckles at the
recollection, Monsieur Fling spoke
about the time an irate landlady
raved about their appearance in
the inn at such a late hour, 9:30 p.
m., and served them fish, just as it
had come from the sea, in appear
ance, except for having been
cleaned, wine that closely resem-
Diea vinegar, instead of water, and
a dessert of honey and rice with
the chopped honeycomb sticking in
their parched throats. "To cap it
all, the landlady complained of the
amount of electricity she had
wasted in waiting for us and said
the lights would be turned out in
two minutes. Within the glass fuse
boxes of France, instead of the
switches there are little pieces of
fused wire. When a fuse blows out
the defective wire has become
broken off, and a new piece mav
be inserted. I imagine the hostess
was a long time finding out why
her lights wouldn't go back on, be
cause we had broken one of the
wires and supplemented it with a
piece of grey yam identical in appearance."
Find Villagers Inhospitable.
Fling and his companion on find
ing themselves within a day and a
half ride of Carcassonne, decided
to travel day and night rather than
give up and take the train. "It is
terribly lonely at 11 p. m. in the
mountains, however, and as the
Mistraal (strong wind of southern
France which blows from any di
rection) was against us, we de
cided to sleep in a little village
which we finally rode into. We
couldn't arouse anyone at this late
hour until a light went on in a
third story window of an inn.

to
have ever seen was pointed down
at us, and we were requested in
ungentle tones to get out of the
village." After wandering around
for several hours they crawled into
a fissure in the rocks. About 4 a.
m. Monsieur Fling awoke with a
start to see his companion rolling
over and over on the floor, emit
ting agonized groans, altho he ap
peared to be asleep.
Upon investigation, it was dis
covered that the floor of the fis
sure was composed of sharp pieces
of shale. They had been so fatigued
that they had gone immediately to
sleep without examining their tem
porary beds, and the sharp points
had nearly torn their clothes to
rags. They stumbled onto a little
hut where they spent the rest of
the night, and took the train to
Carcassonne in the morning.
"We had just reached the old
fortress when we beheld our three
companions who had arrived
earlier running along the top of
walls 60 feet above the gTound,
jumping over the crenillations or
spaces in the walls."
The reminiscence concluded with
the ignominious journey home
when they were forced, because of
expenses, to ride third class with
an entire battalion of Moirocccoan
troops. "The odor and stench was
insufferable. We spent the night j
on the floor of the corridor with all I
the windows and doors open." !
The identity of the Goddess of
Agriculture, who will reign over
the festivities of Farmer's fair, wi.i
be revealed at a pre-fair dance
from 7 to 9, Thursday, May 2, in
the student activities building on
Ag campus. Mcl Pester and his band
will play for the students who will
be dressed in aprons and overalls
This affair is exclusively for
students on the Holdrege campus,
and is not a date affair. Should
anyone appear not wearing the
traditional garb of aprons and
overalls, he will have his name put
on the "tanking list," and will be
punished later.
About 160 women on the ag
campus went to the polls, April 16,
to vote on 16 candidates for the
Goddess of Agriculture. Those
eligible for the honcr were: Edim
Gieger, Gertrude Her, Edan Grain
zer, Eunice Johnson, Margaret
Ken, Marjone Lowe, Helen LuLs,
Bernice Preston, Katherine Rollins,
Esther Schoenieber, Melba Smith,
Marjone Bicn, Arlene Bors, Mrs.
Elsie De Con, Eilleen Stoltenberg
and Ruth Wolfe.
Seven candidates were voted on
by each girl. The one receiving
the highest number of votes will
become the goddess of agriculture
and the six polling the next highest
number of votes will serve as her
attendants.
The committee working on pre
sentation of the goddess is Lois
Allen, chairman; Elinor Chase,
Roxine Latta, Eleanor McFadden,
Truma McClellan, and Eleanor
Bignel. Gilbert Erickson is chair
man of the dance committee. Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Loeffe, and Mr.
and Mrs. H. P. Davis, faculty ad
visers to the Farmer's Fair board
will chaperon the dance, and other
advisers will be present.

he isn't the one who's seeking a
share of those funds.
Political connlveri are busy
conniving again. Republican ap
petites, long since they've been ap
peased, have sent the party's lead
ers to Excelsior Springs, Mo., for
the conniving. Excelsior Springs is
known as a health resort. Perhaps
political health can be found there,
too.
BRITISH statesmen are pretty
even tempered fellows. All thru the
Stresa conference they were able
to tone down somewhat the ardor
of her colleague's desire for a Ger
man denouncement. Now they are
gettin' sore. They have reason, be
cause it isn't hard to remember the
horror of the seas, Germany's war
time U-boats.
Their anger comes from Hit
ler's naval policy, by which he
is expected to launch a fleet of
niw submarines before long.
Add a number of cruisers, de
stroyers, and you have another
reason for Britain's anxiety.
Secrecy surrounds reports that
have been given out. Germany
won't give much information but
they've admitted they have
placed orders.
So British officials, along with
French and Italian statesmen, are
still clinging together. They agreed
on unification at Stresa a few
weeks ago, and they are sticking
to it. France sent a man to Lon
don to talk submarines and another
to Italy. The French air minister,
when he gets to Rome, is expected
to negotiate some sort of d French
Italian air agreement.
. The situation in Europe offers an
excellent opportunity for develop
ment of some exceedingly fine
statesmanship. While it is gener
ally agreed that war is highly un
desirable, conditions exist which
lead one to believe it is not alto
gether improbable. Diplomatic
maneuvers, it is hoped, will be able
to precede, and take the place of,
hostile military maneuvers.
Nebraska's legislators the first
of the week were still a lor.g way
from enacting liquor legislation.
The senate and house have had
trouble getting together. Both
had different ideas, and neither
has been willing to give in. Fear
of a special session to settle the
question has been sounded.
A sotclal committee of six has
been named to reconstruct the Su
livan bill. Three senators and three
representatives are at work in an
effort to hasten the legislation,
Other members of the legislature
are hopeful, and still others are
waitina for the committee of six
to fail agreement.
