YOUR INQUIRIES ARE SOL-ICITEID 



The 0. S. U. Cider Cocktail 



By W. Paddock, State University, Dayton, Ohio 



THE Students' Apple Show at tlie 

 Ohio State University has grown to 

 be an important institution in our col- 

 lege life. It is conducted along lines 

 similar to our state shows, in fact, it 

 surpasses many of them in size, in num- 

 ber of entries, in quality of fruit, in 

 educational value and in value of pre- 

 miums offered. 



It is needless to say that a show of 

 this kind results in a great deal of good. 

 Aside from the intense enthusiasm 

 aroused and the educational value, a 

 large amount of real business must be 

 done. A 28-page premium list is pub- 

 lished, in which a quantity of adver- 

 tising space is sold; space in booths is 

 sold to manufacturers of spraying ma- 

 chinery and of spray materials and to 

 other firms who wish to advertise their 

 wares. Arrangements are also made 

 for the sale of apples, cider, apple pie, 

 and candy made by the co-eds of the 

 department. 



Necessarily the financing of a free 

 show of such magnitude is an item of 

 considerable importance, since several 

 hundred dollars is required to meet all 

 expenses, and many schemes are de- 

 vised to help swell the funds. It is 

 about one of these items that I started 

 to write, rather than of the show itself. 

 Clean cider fresh from the press is 

 relished by most people and our boys 



have always made a good deal of money 

 by its sale. This year a new cider drink 

 was devised, which was christened 

 "The O. S. U. Cider Cocktail." 



This is made after the fashion of the 

 familiar ice cream soda. A glass is 

 nearly filled with cider, a lump of ice 

 cream is added, then the finishing touch 

 is put on with a small amount of car- 

 bonated water. 



Some may prefer the addition of a 

 small amount of sweetening in the form 



of simple syrup, but if the cider is good 

 this will not usually be thought of. 



The popularity of this new drink, 

 new to us at least, at our show prompts 

 us to bring it to the attention of your 

 readers. It would appear to us that 

 this drink, together with similar ones 

 which easily can be devised, should 

 pave the way for the sale of vast quan- 

 tities of concentrated cider and of apple 

 products. Anyway we hope that some 

 of your readers will take a quart of 

 fresh cider to the nearest soda fountain 

 and have a cider cocktail made. If they 

 don't pronounce it the best ever — we 

 will be glad to hear from them. 



As We Mingle, Prejudice Disappears 



By Charles Uhden, Spokane, Washington 



I FOUND this sentence some time ago 

 as a footnote of a blank page in some 

 diary. Having read the same, I turned 

 over the leaf without giving the words 

 any further thought, but after a while 

 they came back to my mind. The more 

 I thought about them the more I was 

 impressed with the meaning contained 

 in the one single line, and finally de- 

 cided to use them as a subject for a 

 paper intended to serve the purpose of 

 removing the antagonistic feeling which 

 has shown itself, at times very marked, 

 at some of our meetings, as well as at 

 other ones at which I happened to be 

 present. 



Prejudice is caused by aloofness or 

 exclusiveness, by too large an amount 



of self-righteousness, by envy, and very 

 often by the tirades of parties who 

 wish to endear themselves with us at 

 the expense of someone else. The ar- 

 raignment of one class against another 

 by unscrupulous persons cannot be 

 condemned too severely. Prejudice is 

 an unnecessary disturber of good feel- 

 ing and harmony.. It causes distrust 

 unnecessarily, doing injustice one to 

 the other. Very often it leads to de- 

 mand for vicious legislation or at least 

 such as is injurious to business and 

 prevents one from doing his best for 

 others. 



In social life, prejudice disturbs peace, 

 it creates discord and makes enemies 

 out of friends; it even has led to crime.
