Farmer’s Life Not All a Bed of Tomatoes
Four U. S. C. men went north this summer to raise tomatoes, came back to school after a vacation spent in working for various lumber companies. They were willing to raise tomatoes, but the beetles, rabbits ,and squirrels did not give them a chance. The men who went north were Virden Thomas, John Sigler, Benjamin Weiss, and Martin Miller.
Weiss and Miller rented the Minnehaha ranch and found that the accent comes on the last two sylabes. They planted fifty thousand young and flourishing tomato plants on fifty acres of land. The plants never got over being young. On the night of July third, Weiss and Miller had a ranch of prospective wealth. Ben became interested in automobile catalogues ,and Shorty in a life of ease. When the two ranchers returned to their farm two days later, one-half of their plants were down. In one week all were down, and the two men were working for a lumber company. Ben was Weis, but he is now wiser. Shorty has the reputation of being “some sprinter” It is not on record that he tarried near the Minnehaha.
Thomas and Sigler were given the use of thirty acres of land; they planted fifteen to tomatoes. But the spare fifteen which was left vacant was not sufficient stamping ground for the beetles, squirrels, and rabbits. These aforementioned animals emigrated to parts known. They spared three acres. The ranchers were advised to abandon their ranch. The advisors then supplemented the beetles and finished up the last one-fifth of the planted area.
All-Southern Guard Will Take Charge of Athletics at Pasadena Intermediate School
Football prospects at U. S. C. dropped another point when It was learned that John Sigler, All-Southern guard last year, will no longer compete for his Alma Mater. Our little Johnny, sometimes known as “Long Jawn” and "Wild Man,” having made his mark as an athlete, will attempt to impart his knowledge hereafter to the athletes of the Pasadena intermediate schoool.
Sigler was one of the school’s best-known men while here. He was an All*Southern guard, captain-elect of the basketball team, junior class president, member of the executive committee, and Student Manager last semester. If his coaching success compares with his athletic abilities, Pasadena is assured of many winning teams.
Besides taking charge of athletics at the intermediate school, Sigler may coach the Pasadena high school football team this winter.

Marsh and Llewellyn Kendall, executive committee; Neal Ames and B. Eberhard, oratorical committee, and Frank Malette, athletic committee. Elections will be held soon.

TENNIS OFFICERS
Jessie Grieve Is Tennis Captain—Tryouts Soon to Fill Club Vacancies
Jessie Grieve was elected captain of the Varsity Woman’s Tennis team at the meeting of the Woman’s Tennis club Wednesday.
The following officers for the coming year were chosen: Edna Carrick, president; Ruth Durkee, vice-president; Margaret Hiskey, secretary and treasurer.
There are three or four vacancies In the club, and a tryout will soon be held to fill these places. Those who have any tennis ability are urged to try out for membership, as there is an attractive program in store for the members of the women’s club this year. Late in the season the annual tournament with the men’s club will take place, and the l^plders of the title of the club doubles championship will then be decided. Last year Ruth Durkee and Ron Stannard won the title.
Various extension classes for the convenience of those who live at a distance and are unable to attend the University, have been formed wherever there has been sufficient demand. At present Dr. Benjamin Stelter is conducting an English class in Pasa-dent; Dr. Frank Klingberg has a history class in Glendale, and Professors Lawrence Riddle and Hugh Willet are teaching the men ln service at the harbor the Intricacies of French and trigonometry.
The classes at the harbor are considered especially beneficial in view of the present war situation. Professor Riddle is teaching French by means of the phonetic system, which enables the student to pronounce the words in a very short time. At present there are a hundred soldier boys enrolled to learn French.

‘‘Good Sense In College Life," was the subject of an address given by Mrs. Maryette G.| Mackey, Dean of Women, in the Women’s Lecture course on Tuesday.
“Girls,” said Mrs. Mackey, “a good synonym for sensibleness is awareness. You must be aware of the things about
you."
Mrs. Mackey further stated that, as the fraternity rushing season has just opened, there would be a good opportunity for the women to show common sense. She mentioned the fact that while a fraternity was a good thing for those who joined because of the strong bond of friendship, there was another side. ’’That is," she said, ‘‘a fraternity requires more time and more money than you might otherwise spend. Be sure you know what you are doing before it Ib too late."
