HAPPY CHILDHOOD Childhood days are happy days to the robust child; they are intended to be days of growth. m irn ii R Hi D brings to a child that is not thriving, power that sustains strength substance that determines growth.

Is there anything ihe Republicans are not split over except dislike of U'ood ro iison ? GoU'KSOK Et) AKI1S, of New Jersey, imagining himself of presi dential size, should remember Aesop's fable of the frog that ined io swell up to Ihe size of a bull. Till: Republican party might have survived a special session of Congress, buithe people will hard ly ft rgive a repet.tion of the same dismal failure in the regular session. Now adays in the Middle Vi'est that rushing sound in the air does n't mean a cyclone. It's merely the approach of Hiram Johnson on his way to deliver an anti-League speech. The Pacific ocean is mentioned in Australia as the probable scene of the next war. If there is any next war it w ill be too large an af fair to be accommodated by one ocean. Even the "weis" think ii wise lo keep their feet dry. Even the ground hog, it would seem, makes mistakes. One other point in Hoover's fa vorHearst is dead agin him. Some of the presidential baom lets already look as they were set out too soon. The best ticket to a better world is an honest effort to make tbis a better world. A dog can only lie on one side at a time, but some people have no such limitation. If the ex-kaiser is finally jailed he will agree that the pen is migh tier than his sword. Wonder if there is perfect agree ment between Bible and census sta tistics as to female ages. Ik the women ever organize a separate political party, the rolling pin should be iis emblem. It is becoming clear that the Navy won the war on the sea in spite of one of iis admirals. It may take several more ban quets io discover a candidate en tirely satisfactory to Col. Bryan Sam Gompers says work is the best medicine. Trouble is too many fellows are scared of an overdose. The Senate is a more intelligent classical in their day, body than it was last month. Car- Ne York World, s ter Glass has become a member of it. Secretary Daniels says Pres ident Wilson was the first man to suggest the right way of dealing with the submarines. In fact as well as in form he was commander-in-chief of the navy. It is to be observed that the Lodge plan for "Americanizing'! the treaty is more or less satisfac tory to all ihe elements which sym pathized with Germany before and during the u ar. When they get through with re beilious Admiral Sims, if many more handle him like Congressman Byrnes, of South Carolina, he will wish thai he had modeled his loau- acity after that of Colonel House. St. LOUIS folks are fortifying to maka home safe for democracy by storing their liquor in burglar-proof safes. The Philadelphia Enquirer speaks of the "great Bryan mystery," but after all, is there much mystery about it? Feminine waists are to be more wasp-like than ever, accordiing to advices from Paris. That is some of them are. If prohibition be enforced, you will seldom hear it said of a man in the future that he is his own worst enemy. The battle of the naval medals grow hotter and hotter. A little more and it'll be hot enough to melt all ihe medals. THERE are no laws against speed in spending money. If there were nearly the enure population would have io be jailed. IF Uncle Sam is not to take part in the concert of powers, what will be the use of the proposed Federal department of music? WHEN prices come down, will they" glide down in graceful spirals or will they come down like the deacon's one-horse shay ? THE affairs of Greece are look ing up. A prince of the Greek royal house has won an American widow worth $14,000,000. Before any more Democrats re read oui of the party hadn't we better make sure that we have enough of them as it stands. LLYOD-GeORGE'S plan io let Bolshevism "develop and die" would b: very good if there were anywhere a guarantee of its deaili. VON HlNDENBURG is to publish his memoirs. We wonder if they will include the verdict of the in ternational court that is to try him. j 'Mark H anna's methods were " remarks the and if certain gentlemen have their way will in sist on close study of the classics at the next Republican convention. Senator Borah has lived in the west long enough to know that most of the destructive political tornadoes come from that quarter. He sees the black clouds gathering and is trying to shoo his colleagues into cyclone cellars. Watch the Tendencies of Yolr Children. Don't dream too much about the day when your son or daughter may be President or Mrs. President of the United Slates, but watch the tendencies which they display in childhood. These tendencies may develop into talents equally as valuable as the notorious principle of American freedom. Has your boy skilled fingers with "hurted things" and a steady nerve? Then he may be one of the great surgeons who do so much to alleviate suffering. Or does he love to build and build, fitting his materials together with a sense of symmetry and balance? Perhaps he will some day span greai cities of commerce, or influ ence, a new era of architecture. Dn your little sir! wcrshirj du tiful colors and love to cut and fit? Then perhaps she will sometimes be proprietress of a wonderful modisie shop, or furnish the mass es with a much needed education on the art of enterior decorating. Or maybe she prefers figures and riddles and is quick to go straight to the point of a matter. "Possibly she will be an influential business woman, or, all in good time, even a woman senator. But neither of them have half the chance of attainment unless ten dencies are directed and developed carefully while they are in the formative stage. The man who can't trust him self always imagines that other people ought to trust him. IN MEMORIAM OF LILLIE GAY SHAW. The pain of our loss is still too intense, the sorrow ioo new, our heans too crushed to give expres sion io ihe thoughts that surge within us when we remember the beauiy of that sweet life, and yet we would tell what the association with her for four short years has meant to us ai Greensboro College. Our minds are too finite in (heir comprehensive power to under stand hy a character so lovely, so pure, so good should have been cut off in the tlower of youth, as a rose torn in a storm, but the thought comes that perhaps the Master had a larger work for the soul thai had grown and developed inio the full beauiy of perfection. She h.is been taken from us in the body, but her lovely spirit and life, lived close io ihe Master, dedicated to His service will ever act as an inspiration lo all who knew and loved her, an inspiration to live a holier life, to think higher thoughts, to render a greater service to our fellow -men, to be mure zealous in the Cause of Christ. Her work was done. Her life counted for her God wherever she was, w heth er teaching a Mission class at Col lege or showing by her daily living what ilie fjiiti she prolessed and the Lord she confessed meant io her. To knn. her was (o love her and our Leans will ever ache for ihe understanding sympathy, the willing help, ihe consolation in grief and sorrow, which she gave so freely out of the fullness of her loving hean. The loss indeed is ours, but we rejoice with her be cause to her has been grained the the priceless gift of eternal lite with the Christ she loved and served. "So shall it lie at last in that bright morning, When the .oul aLelh, and life's shit low s Mee. Oh, m that hour fairer than daylight launitir shall rise the loiious thought 1 am with Thee."

Fight Them to a Finish. How do they doit? Nobody knows. Bui they tell you about it things about yourself, your church, your friends, thai you never dreamed of. they do it in the most intri guing manner, don't you know you just can't help listening. And such a confidence is so flattering that you just must pass it on. At least that's the way they argue.

Seeing no chance for a quick "scrape" and having a long way to go he resorted lo strategy. Placing his hands on his hips he shambled up and down the shop muttering: "This flu will kill me yet; I should have taken my wife's advice and remained in bed long er." Then rapidly he sneezed three times ker-chew! Ker-cheo! Ker-che-ah-h! The crowd rushed out and four chairs were emptied of men "half raked over." Turn ing to the few who remained he re marked: "Gentlemen, lam thank ful to say that neither myself or family have had the dread malady." Notice of Trustee's Sale. I mler ami tiy ittu of the power!
