Some went to buy me candy Or a chocolate floating pop; Or a briming dish of ice cream With cherries on the top. Some took me auto riding Or a bathing in the surf, Or to a merry picnic With dinner on the turf. Some paid for kodak pictures Of the sweetest girl I know, Or gave us both the pleasure To see the picture show. Peanuts, crackers, popcorn, Cookies, cakes and pies, Ham, beefsteak, sausage, Oyster stews and fries. And so the dimes kept rolling, And the money from me fled, 'Till this little dime lies lonely As a tombstone of the dead. o During the past year, the Star has said a good many mean things, most of which were true, but it is Pe™e"' 1> willing to be forgiven for them all.

It seems as tho there must be a' pamphlet to record every act, thought or phase of Congress, so many are the different committee reports. The minutes of each session of Congress of both houses are published completely under the heading of the session. Then there are reports from the Federal Commission, Geographic Board and various other Commissions. You employed Camouflage at Christmas and perhaps were not aware of it. Camouflage is generally heard at Banquets, Receptions, or Formal Dances. Politicians are adept in its use. When you are .employing it you are camouflaging. If you have employed it you have camouflaged. If you are planning to employ it you will camouflage. I camouflage. U camouflage. He camouflages. We camouflage. You camouflage. They camouflage.- This is true. Camouflage is an Art—When Properly Used—Examples. The man who received a tie Christmas more than likely camu- flaged.

The Department of Labor issues many pamphlets that would be useful in debates and theme work on the subjects of Child Labor, Immigration and so forth. Since President Wilson declared war last Spring, new bureaus have been established to meet the present needs of the country, many of which come under, the Navy Department. Some, like the Federal Farm Loan Bureau and the Libert}' Loan, issue publications as a division of the Treasury Department. The War Department has greatly enlarged its number of publications owing to the many new bureaus recently established. There are manuals issued for every branch of the sendee from Aviation Service, down to the Cooks. Under this department belongs the American National Red Cross. If a student wishes to find material on a subject himself, it is Camouflage at Stetson. When the following happens, look out for camouflage: At the table—Earl Curry, "I don't care for dinner.

Everything is in a bustle preparatory to the coming trials and great legal and equitable battles soon to be waged in John B. Stetson University Moot Court. The Senior Law Students, our future presidents, statesmen and great legal lights, are busy filing their pleadings, having summons issued and intrenching themselves with no end of ammunition in the form of intricacies and loop-holes of the law, in bouyant expectancy and anticipation of the tremendous and awful slaughter they hope to make on opposing counsel. Preparations going on at present, warrant us in asserting that never has the eloquence that is soon to be "spilled" in Moot Court and the knowledge and skill of the legal whys and wherefores that is to be displayed by the able aggregation of Stetson attorneys been parallelled in the history of advocacy and we believe it is a safe prophecy to go farther and say that some of the addresses to the jury will be proclaimed as masterpieces and the pleadings be heralded by lawyers throughout the entire legal domain as marvels for their accuracy, simplicity and dependability. The following legal firms have been formed and they set a precedent as perhaps the most able and formidable array of legal talent this community has ever seen: Howes and Hazard. Carpenter and Roebuck. Curry and Bates. Gregory and Feinberg. Caro and Caro. Hams and Webster. Each firm will be called upon to handle two civil actions and prosecute or defend two criminal actions. The case of State of Florida John Anderson is the first jon the docket. Curry and Bates, eminent attorneys for the State, will prosecute John Anderson, alias Gus Rippa, for embezzlement. The accused will be most ably defended by Counsel Caq_enter and Roebuck. Gus says he is in utter distress and broken in spirit to suddenly be placed under arrest by his nobs, the sheriff, charged with so dastardly an act. When Gus has satisfactorily explained to the twelve jurymen, good and true, that an awful mistake has been made and that John Anderson is innocent, as he expects to do, through his learned and eloquent defenders, no doubt the strong arm of the law will reach out and nab some other unsuspecting (or suspecting as the case may be) student and attempt to prove in open court to him what an evil genius he really is. Here's sympathy and luck to you John Anderson, alias ! Leading the docket of civil proceedings is the damage suit against the City of DeLand by one Butler Dowda through his attorneys, Howes and Hazard. The City has retained Gregory and Feinburg to defend it. Opposing counsel have already engaged one another in several verbal broadsides in regards to the case. Sam says he expects to fire objections at the court with machine gun rapidity while Hazard assures him they will be overruled as if by a steam roller. Both hope to have the PEACE WITH FREEDOM. In the President's War Mes- j sage, delivered before the two I Houses of Congress April 2, 1917, I President Wilson referred with great • strength and feeling to "the won- I derful and heartening things that j have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia." At the present moment the hap- ' penings of the last few weeks in Russia are disastrous and disheartening in the extreme. But none the less these recent happenings emphasize the truth of the principle the President laid down jin the message in the sentences ust preceding his reference to Russia. It is not by the aid of Germany as now ruled, or by German peace that freedom, justice, znd __.___._E that freedom, justice, and peace are to come to Russia. Doubtless the sanity of the Russian people makes this plain to them and out of the ruinous chaos of today their sober second thought will bring them once more to the side of free peoples fighting for the freedom of all peoples. The President's words are as follows: "A steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained except by a partnership of democratic nations. No auticratic government could be trusted to keep faith within it or observe its covenants. It must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion. Intrigue would eat its vitals away; the plottings of inner circles who eluld plan what they would and render account to no one would be a corruption seated at its very heart. Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow inters ests of their own." c =.
