(1) What are the duties of a student body secretary? (2) Where eould I obtain the poems, Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, and "Kentucky Belle? Thanking you in advance, MAY, UTAH. The duties of a student body secretary do not differ to any extent from the duties of the Folsecretary of any society or organization. lowing is as nearly as I can tell you here the The secretary is the duties of a secretary: recording officer of the assembly and the custodian of its records, except such aa are specifically assigned to others, as the treasurers books. In addition to keeping the records of the society and the minutes of the meetings, it is the duty nf the secretary to keejj a register or roll of its members and to call the roll when required ; to notify officers, committees and delegates of their appointment, and tc furnish committees with all papers referred to them, and delegates with credentials ; and fc sign with the president all orders on the treasurer authorized by the society unless .otherwise s. It is his duty tc specified in the send out proper notices of all called meeting when necessary, and to conduct the eorres pondence of the society except in case there i a corresponding secretary. Previous to each meeting the scretary should, for the use of the chairman, make out an order of business, showing in their exact order what is necessary t( come before the assembly. He should have al each meeting a list of all standing committee' and such special committees as are in existence of the organize at the time, and the tion and its minutes. In the absence of th present) chairman (if there is no it is his duty to call the meeting to order and chairman to preside until the election of ft pro tem., which should take place immediately. the is secretary committee When a appointed, should hand the names of the committee, and all papers referred to it, to the chairman of the committee, or some other of its members He should endorse on the reports of committees the date of their reception, and what further action was taken upon them, and preserve them among the records, for which he is responsible. (2) The poey, "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight,' will appear as soon as we have space for it. The other, "Kentucky Belle, has twenty-nin- e verses, so we will be unable to print it. The book, "Practical Elocution, published by the Penn Publishing Co., Philadelphia, contains this poem. The book has 300 pages and the price is $1.7& I will save your envelope, in case we have no room for your other poem we can send it to you. XTERMINATOR THE GREAT! The racing programs list him merely as Exterminator, but the American racing . public has made him an equine hero and Exterminator the Great he is to the crowds that go to see him run. And theres a reason. The experts say that today, at the age of seven, he is the worlds greatest gelding. They agree and It is seldom they agree on any subject that he is one 'of the truly great horses that have adorned the American turf. Track manh agers say lie has supplanted Man o War and in the affections of the racing public. One jibing is sure beyond question: Exterminator is the personage of Binghamton, N. Y. His home town turns out to see him depart or come borne. The old fellow is escorted to and from his jar with all the pomp and ceremony that rightly belong to a champion. Chicago furnished a striking proof of Exterminators popularity this fall. The Windy City, apparently anxious for a revival of the days of ' when Washington park was in its glory and the American jderby attracted a nation-wid- e attendance, staged a successful race meeting at the Hawthorne track. Exterminator was billed for the opening day in a race against time the mile and a quarter track record of ' Dodge In 2:04 The champion was visited by thousands before the opening day, .The track was slow from long disuse. Exterminator was content to gallop around in 2:10. But, just the same, 20,000 paid 23 each to see him run. Whats more, they stood op when he came upon the track and cheered him till he returned to his stable by an odd coincidence the same stable that used to house McGee, bis sire, when racing in the colors of Edward Corrigan, the Master of Hawthorne in the old days. . Now, the great running horse is almost as difficult of description as the gentleman. But certain qualities he must have to be truly great, He must have speed to run with the best. He must be able to carry weight. He must have the endurance to go a distance. He must have the courage to hook up with a rival In the stretch, look him in the eye, and go on to win. He must have the intelligence to understand the game and the will to win. - He ' must be sound physically and have the stamina He must be to stand 'training and race often. honest and always do his best. And he must not be temperamental. Exterminator has all these qualities. Now, theres his rival Mad Hatter, who has several times run Exterminator to a nose. Hes For instance, at Belmont this temperamental. with 125 pounds fall,' he ran two miles in 8 :22 Up and won the Jockey club gold cup by two lengths from Bit (of White and Pillory. In his very next race, at Aqueduct, something made him sore and he pinned back his ears and wouldnt run.' He got off last and stayed last. At .that. Mad Hatter just escapes being truly great. Hes been racing five years and has started 72 times. Heres his score: First, 27; second, 20; third, In fact, this great 12 ; unplaced, 13 ; won, $162,335. son of Fair Play Mad Cap, belonging to the Ran-eocstable, is the sixth highest winner of the American turf, being surpassed only by Man o War, Exterminator, Colin, Sysonby' and Domino. ' Observe how Exterminator shines by contrast unbeing an honest equine gentleman Why, any Exseemly behavior anywhere is unthinkable of terminator. Just as a sample, heres the way he won the Toronto Autumn cup this fall for the third successive time.. Incidentally other horses have won this famous race twice, but it remained for Exterminator to go them one better. In 1920, with 132 pounds up, Exterminator beat My Dear by a head and In the following year with 137 pounds In the saddle he again beat the same mare by a head. This fall Exterminator carried 132 pounds and won going away from Guy and Bit of White In exactly the same time he ran the race last for the mile and a quarter. year, 2:05 The race was marked by a terrific early pace. Guy, 102 pounds, assumed an early lead and, with the imported horse, Golden Sphere, 113, In close the pursuit, they went to the quarter in 22 and in T :11 the half in 46 Exterminator was rated the mile in 1 :38 Johnson never made a and in fifth position along move with him until the top of the home stretch. When called on the latter responded with his usual in the sterling gameness ayd, passing the leaders E long-distan- Mor-Vic- best-kpow- n final eighth, won going away by a half length. Guy managed to last long enough to bent Bit of White, 100, by a head for second place. Boniface 1884-190- 3-- 5. 3-- 5 1 1-- , 4--5, 3-- three-quarte2-- 3-- was fourth, a length away. The winners portion of the stake was $12,800. Exterminator was favorite at 4 to 5. , , Thats the way Exterminator runs well behaved at the post, easily placed in the race and ' ready for the test at the wire. Its Exterminators good character that makes ' him the horse he is. Hes run 13 races this year at ' distances from six furlongs to a mile and a half on alt kinds of tracks and has won all but three of them. In his second race this year Boniface beat him a nose. In the other two, which were in succession, he was evidently not in his usual first-clacondition. The old fellow began the season in the spring at Havre de Grace and traveled all over the country, racing at Pimlico, Churchill, Belmont, Aqueduct, Latonia, Saratoga and Woodbine. In this racing Exterminator never carried less than 126 pounds and that only once. He carried as high as 140. His usual weight was 132 to 135. Almost Invariably he was favorite and usually at odds on. He beat Mad Hatter, Bon Homme, Grey Lag, Polly Ann, Captain Alcock, Devastation, Be ' Frank, Firebrand, Lady Madcap, Rouleau, Boni- face, Registrar, Bring a Buck and other August 31 he won the historic Saratoga cup for the fourth time. A. Johnson rides Exterminator these days and E. Waylaud is the stable trainer. Oct. 21 Exterminator won the Laurel handicap at Laurel $10,075, defeating Tryster, Careful, Para- , gon II and other good ones. Exterminators career can be briefly summarized thus: Foaled, 1915; races, 84; first, 44; second, 16; third, 13; won $223,104. As a matter of fact Exterminator has wen more money in real races than any other horse In the history of the American turf, notwithstanding the fact that Man o War (now retired to the stud) is credited with bigger earnings. As all racing enthusiasts know, Man o War owes his place at the head of the list to a hippodrome performance in Canada, which smacked more of commercialism than sportsmanship. Incidentally, Exterminator was Invited, but his owner and trainer declined to participate. There have been three great geldings on the turf before Exterminator Banquet, American Raceiand and Stratbmeatli ; all three are dead. Banquet, foaled in 1887, had this score: races. 166 ; first, 62 ; second, 42 ; third, 23 ; won $118,535. ' Raceiand (1885) had this record: 130, 70, 25, 12. $116,391. Stratlimeath (1888) had this score: 133, 59, 33, 19, $114,958. It is to be remembered that the purses and stakes of the day of Exterminators three predecessors were relatively, smaller. It Is a matter of sincere regret to racing enthusiasts that Exterminator, a gelding, cannot transmit his qualities to future generations of the And here comes in a American thoroughbred.Would Exterminator, entire, have been big "If. so great? Or would he have been temperamental, 1 like, for instance, the horse Mad Hatter? Many a gelding has been made from an unmanageable thoroughbred. As a matter of fact. Exterminator was gelded simply because he was not considered well enough bred to be worth while as a breeding asset. When he was foaled in 1915 his sire, McGee, (lid not enjoy his present reputation as a progenitor.

SWEETHEART, Mink Creek, Ida. An Indian legend of how the Water or Pond Lily beoome known and named, appeared in your paper a few weeks ago. 1 will reprint it here for you : The Indians believed that the stars were the Somes of those who had walked across the 3 tarry Bridge of Souls, and one night they aw a star leave the sky and come half way toward the earth. That night a young brave ircamed that the star came and told him to isk his wise men what shape she might take nat she could dwell with the red people, whom he loH, forever. The wise men said for her o choose for herself. So at first she came to ive in the heart of a white rose on the moun fain side, but she was very lonely, so she next took up her dwelling in a prairie flower, but great herds of buffalo went thundering by and he was frightened. So she again set forth to find a resting place, and as she floated over a great, blue lake, she saw her shadow in the water, and sank down to rest on its cool bosom. The next morning the lake was covered with -great, white, shining flowers, with golden hearts. The Indians said the White Star had called her sisters to live among them. They called them 'Wahbegwannee, the White Star 3 Flowers. The following is an interesting little history of the Forget-me-no- t: r It is related that a young couple, on the eve of their marriage, were walking along the banks of a river and saw a cluster of Forget-- '' me-nfloating pn the stream. The bride-to-admired the beauty of tile flower and lamented it3 destiny. The lover plunged into the water to rescue it but having caught it; found ' himself sinking. He made a final effort and threw it at the feet of his betrothed, ex1" Since-tha- t claiming as he did bo, "forget-me-n- ot event this flower has been made emblematical of the sentiment forget-me-no- t.
