In the garden of a country home*
two men were talking. Ndn- them
sat a small boy, looking at the stars.

There was l ament of silence..
Then the second man called to the
boy who sat near them. “S«v” he
said, “if you had your choice of* any
of those stars up there, which one
would you choose?”

in a manner commensurate with the
service he has rendered’ to hie
country.
In one sense, it is impossible to
fully appreciate what the American
soldier has done. Only the hundred
thousands of Belgians who were
crushed under the invader’s heel—
the victims of savage brutality in
Northern Prance—the butchered peo-
ple of Armenia—can know what
America ^rwes to her soldier sons.
Americans at home need only look
about them at their prosperous com-
munities—their businesses just
their loved One safe—and remember
gratefully that they ovfe their secure
ity to the living bulwark of Ameri-
aift soldiery.
In view of the hardships endured
and sacrifices made by the American
soldiers—the importance of their ac-
complishments—and the inspirational
effect of their heroism upon the whole
community in building for a better
world, it is of vital importance that
adequate memorials be erected. A
The man who, had addressed the
boy turned to his companion. “As
a matter of fact,* ha said, “there are
other stars in the heavens, which the
b|oy cannot see, that are far brighter
and bigger than tha one he chose
But he didn't know the other stars
were there—and so he couldn’t choose
them. That’s why your product isn't
selling. People simply do not know
ti exists."
“I know waht you mean,” said the
first man, “advertising. But I 'have
tried advertising in the past—two or
three times->-and it didn’t work/’

A CITIZEN’S CREED
“I will not criticise my town, its
officials, Commercial organizations,
Churches, Schools, or any part of it,
until I, myself have spent as much
time, thought money and effort to
make it better, as has the Best Citi-
zen in it.”*- ...
THE DIVORCE PROBLEM
The International Reform Bureau
has issued some figures on the di-
vorce problem. The United States
has passed Japan in the high di-
vorce rate. The rate for all the
states in 1916 was 109 for 100,000
population. The Japan ratio is one
the Texas farmer, because the com-
mission is tied hand and foot by fed-
eral regulation. Hundreds of thous-
ands dollars worth of farm produced
have rotted and are rotting in the
Texas fields, because high freight
rates make it impossible to get them
to market and have any profit left.
Thanks to the federal maternity
bill, it may soon be necessary for
the farm wife or the town wife to
get the permission of an unmarried
federal nurse to wash the babies.
A candidate for the United States
Senate from this State, Clarence
Oualey, remarks that tha federal gov-
ernment is now participating in our
road building, our vocational educa-
tion; our agricultural education, our
maternity education, and in each of
these activities there are menacing
clashes of administrative authority.
“In the exercise of police power,
in the control of electoral franchise,
in the collection of taxes the hand of
Washington la laid upon every citi-
zen’s privilege and possession,” be
said. Yet Mr. Ousley believes the
federal government has a right to
send federal troops into any State to
suppress disorders.
Where these encroachments will
end, nobody knows; but it must be
evident to all that we are rapidly
drifting into a centralization of
power that spells ruin sooner or
later.—Exchange.

ROOSEVELT’S DEFINITION
OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
THIS FIT’S MOST OF US
Henry Ward Beecher, so the story
goes, was one time asked by a young
preacher *how he could make bis con-
gregation keep wide-awake and at-
tentive during his sermons. Beecher
replied that be always had a man
watch for sleepers, with instruction,
as soon as he saw anyone start nod-
ding or dozing, to hasten to the pul-
pit and wake the preacher. Aren’t
you and I usually leas sensible?
Would we not be inclined to have
the watcher wake up, not ourselves,
but the fellow caught sleeping? In
other words aren’t we disposed al-
ways to blame others? When things
go wrong tn an organization, the
president usually feels it is necessary
for him to shake up his associates
His asociates, in turn, usually start
kicking up ructions with those under
them. And workers, when they are
dissatisfied, usually lay the blame,
not at their own door, but at the
door of the foreman or the depart
ment head or the big boss—some-
body, anyhow, except themselves.
How about adding this Beecher
squib to what we always carry
around with us in our minds?—Ex.

A MISSIONARY’S REPORT
.. We are accustomed to reading
missionaries’ reports which give the
number of sermons preached, bap-
tisms^. utilaw traveled, days labored,
and so on, but hare Is a saw report
which eotBes from Roumania. A
missionary sending in his report for
1921, in addition to the usual Items,
includes such facts as the following:
Traveled by foot, miles 1,449; bras in
prises twice; called before the court-
house eleven times; called to. the po-
lice station four times; one time ex-
amined for sanity; storied two times “
cast away from home one time •
TO THE GRADUATES

God bless them every one!

But when you leave your college halls
Your’e barely at the start.
