THE ACHE OF THE GRIND
Twenty columns for news and for ads,
To mention the freshies and gray-head
ed grads;
Twenty columns foT tliirty-six weeks,
To slam boys’ manners and praise flap
per cheeks.
Seven days only, and school work too,
To scrape up the news and edit it
through;
To pray with the printer and pat his
bald head,
Tc listen to lectures and make notes on
what’s said.
To write numerous headlines, none of
which lit,
To pad edit pages with wisdom and
wit, •
To drag Some Stude in off of the street,
To ccax and beguile him with a smoke
or a treat.
To dust off Jake Blake’s tuxedo suit,
To give him a gesture and words to
boot;
To kno’ck this week’s poem from Eem-
ington’s arms;
To evolve editorials on flappers or
farms.
To get Som Stu by radio or wire,
To* prune down its venom and fill it
with fire;
To get Koniancia to continue her tale,
To attend society and answer the mail.
To write a million wrappers by states,
To mix up paste and change all the
dates;
To fight all our enemies, pet all our
friends,
To start another week before this one
ends.
To take all the blame and ever to smile,
To tell them the paper will be out after
a while;
To hunt foT articles wanted on dot,
To save human feelings but cut tommy-
rot.
To follow it all through the linotype’s
clatter.
Through the pro'ofreader’s hands as he
checks up the matter.
The only relief for the staff’s aching
soul
Comes once a week when the big presses
roll.

The Wise Men
(A Wise Crack)
‘‘Be thrifty,’ say the sages,
“And put away your rocks,
For thus one’s green old age is
Secure from wrecks and shocks;
Do not, of course, be sordid,
But build against mischance;
Thrift always is rewarded!’
(Except in Germany, Austria, Hun
gary, Czecho-Slovakia, Epssia and
France.)
“Be loyal,” say the wise men,
“To what we say you should;
Tlie time maj^come that tries men,
But all it to the good;
Though war is quite a burden.
Prosperity and peace
Are loyal peoples’ guerdon!”
(Except in Italy, Belgium, Poland.
Jugoslavia, Turkey and Greece.)
J may not be so clear,
But when the wise men crow:
“Always, forever, never,
This thing or that is sc;
The truth is what we utter,
World-wide, unchanging, whole!”
Well, I’m afraid I .mutter:
“Except in Africa, Asia, America,
Europe, Australia, and the North
Pole!”
—Morris Bishop.
You Tell Him
Toni was a bashful chap, so he de
cided to propose over the telephone.
“Mabel, I love .you,’ he blurted out
when he got her number. “Will you
marry me?”
“Of course I will, Jack,” came the
answer. “Why didn’t you come and
ask me, you silly boy?”
As soon as Tom recovered his wits
he called back. “Then you’ll have to
break the news to him yourself. I’ll be
hanged if I will.”
LETTERS WE WRITE HOME THESE
DAYS
Dear fatlier: When you get my card
You’ll realize that I’ve studied hard,
At least I think I can state
That I have learned to concentrate.
Now, A means awful—Aren’t you glad
That not a single A I’ve had?
And B means bad, I hope you see
That no such shame has come to me.
C is careless, I will admit
I’m glad no C appeared on it.
But D—Delightful! Isn’t it fine
That all those splendid D’s are mine?
And E means excellent. If you knew
How hard those came I’m sure that you
Would send a check, and that’s the
truth.
Adoringly, your daughter, Euth.
—College Message.
eats—reverse order
“You eat too fast,’ His Honor said,
“Your manners, I deplore.
Your food will now come after grace
Where once it came before.”
“Amen!” is said. Each hungry eye
Explores for soup or bread ot meat,
But there is only berry pie
When we begin to eat.
Though once we ate soup, meat and pie,
The order’s now reversed.
Our soup conies always last o-f all;
Our pie comes always first.
Has Difficulty
An undergraduate lo'oked in upon an
other busily engaged in indicting a let
ter.
“Writing home for money?” he in
quired.
“No,” was the laconic reply.
“Well, yqu seem to be taking a lot
of trouble over it. You had commenc
ed it when I called a eouple of hours
ago.”
“Er—you see, old man. I’m trying to
write home without asking for money. ”
Student: “Professor, is Thomas A.
Edison deaf?”
Professor: “Yes.”
Student: “Professor, can he hoar?”
