On Thursday Dr. J. W. Wal-dron of Great Bend spoke on the Inter church World Movement and the coming canvas.

Now we are in the last inning of the game the canvas is on! Cooper's allotment has been set by the Central Committee-of the New World Movement at $3,575 or an average of over $6 per year per student. The eight members of the canvas teams met Sabbath afternoon and started the drive by pledging $745 themselves. At chapel, Monday, the canvas plans were presented by members of the teams and the drive began. Cooper has always come up to the standards set and surely she will not fail now. It is a joy to feel that we have a part in this great forward movement of the churches and that we must not fail.

Keith Falconer said, to the students of Edinburgh, "while east continents are shrouded in almpst utter darkness, and hundreds of millions suffer the horrors of heathenism and of Islam, the burden of proof rests on you to show that the circumstances in which God has placed you were meant by God to help you out of the foreign field." Are you dodging the issue or are you willing to meet squarely Christ's claim on your life and the. great need of heathen lands? You must give some answer to the command, "Co ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creative." What is your answer? 1 Phone 199 Kansas J. B.

These articles constitute Economic History since 1763.

The translations will be printed, bound and preserved in the Cooper library for future reference work. Mrs. Stubbs, Cloyd Caskey and music interludes at the H. S. Senior Elizabeth Work assisted with the play Friday night, April 23.

One of the mysteries of Cooper college has been solved thru the dorm. One of those much talked of diamonds has appeared and seems to have taken up its abode in the dorm.

We are still hearing about their "eats." Lucile Lukins has almost lost her reputation as a chaperone. "She is not strict enough" is a sentence dropped by a young lady who was under Miss Lukins care for the evening.

But she did not speak.

"Do you love me?" pleaded the young man. "I I don't know," was the answer. "Darling, would you like me to ask your mother, first?" With a sudden cry of terror she grasped his arm. "No, no," she shrieked, "she's a widow. I want you myself." The people of the United States spend $1,200,000,000 every year for tobacco.
