Then the inquisition continued. “How much do you pay for them?” “Ten cents,” con fessed the young man. “Don’t you know, sir,” continued the sage, “that if you would save that money, by the time you are as old as I am you could own that big building over the way?” “Do you own it?” inquired the smoker. “No,” re plied the questioner. “Well, I do,” said the other..—West Dormitory Exchange. PICNIC. A “car load” of jolly picnickers from Wentworth church, of McCullers, N. C., came to our town by special ear Satur day, last, to pay a visit to the college and make a general inspection of the working things around the “Hill.” The delegation was met at the station, officially by President Harper and the college band. After all had safely disem barked and the number of lunch baskets (for they were afraid they might not like dormitory boaid) had been placed in transfer, the ladies of the party were es corted to West Dormitory and entertain ed by the ladies of the college, while the visiting gentlemen mingled among the boys of East Dormitory. After all had safely deposited surplus wraps, baggage, etc., they reassembled at West Dormitory and began their tour of inspection, led by president. The various society halls, lecture rooms, laboratory, museum, a number of stu dents’ rooms, dining hall, kitchen, cen tral heating plant, lighting apparatus, wa ter works, and all departments of the college w'ere thrown open to them, with the natural result that McCulbrs will send a healthy delegation of her youths and maidens thither when the next school year opens, for they know now what to expect of Elon and her people. At about ona o’clock a recess wac tak en and the tour of inspection was in terrupted long enough to in^e8tigate the contents of the numerous baskets of well prepared dinner. We understand these were excellent and heartily enjoyed by all which of course we could not for one moment doubt, but let us say in this connection, if the good peoj le of McCullers or any other sea-port town would like to take a meal in a real, live college dining hall, where they “eat the fat and and drink the sweet,” and have portions to send to them, “for whom nothing is prepar ed,’’ we would invite them to drop in at the West Dormitory dining hall at 7:00 A. M., 12:00 P. M., or 5:30 P. M., and enjoy a maal with us. Well we are indeed glad to have had these excellent people and patrons of the college with us and trust their visit may he repeated if not en masse, at such times as they individually may find it convenient. Their care left the college on tha 4:4S east bound train. BOOK CLUB. The Elon College Book Club met Fri day evening, November 10th, with Mrs. Amick.

Dr. HounshelT was here and aroused much enthusiasm in Mission Study. Sunday morning, by a re quest of the president of tha Y. M. C. A. those members who wished to study mis sions remained in the chapel and a class was organized with the following mem bers enrolled: Misses Lucy Gregory, Lil lian Johnson, Grace Rollings, Helen Ma- bcn. '’iola Rcilliiig. , Sudic McCauley, Vi ola Frazier, Lillian Dalrymple, Beatie Lassiter, Annie Gregory, Jessie Dawson. Maibelle Pritchette, Hilda Johnson, An nie Rippey, Maggie Isley, Vera Gay, Win nie DuRant, Betty Ellis, Ruth Johnson, Oma Utley; Messrs. J. C. Felton, R. A. Atkins, F. F. Myrick, J. G. Truitt, F. S. Drake, T. H. Anderson, Prof. R. A. Camp bell, A. L. Hook. The officers elected were as follows: Prof. R. A. Campbell, Teacher; J. C. Fel ton, Asst. Teacher; Miss Maggie Iseley, President; Miss Viola Frazier, vice pres ident; Miss Vera Gay, secretary; Miss Helen Machen, treasurer; A. L. Hook, corresponding secretary. The class decided to study “The De cisive Hour of Christian Missions,” by John R. Mott. “Mr. Mott,” says ex- President Roosevelt, “is one of the greatest statesmen the world has ever known. ” Mr. Mott presided over the World Missionary Conference held in Edin burgh, in June, 1910. He knows his sub ject by actual experience in the fields of which he writes. Our aim in the study of missions is to learn more of the open fields and to ac quaint ourselves with the vital problem which we as professed followers of Christ have to solve. Unless we rally to the call, put on our armor—prayer, obedience; consecrate ourselves and be willing to serve many who are waiting and longing for the Bread of Life will pass to the far beyond without being fed. All who are interested in missions are cordially invited to join the class. A. L. Hook, Cor. Sec.
