We want you to visit us often, and feel free to call on us for any accommodation that we can render. You will find our store well stocked and our service pleasing. J. S. WHITE DRUG CO. Elon’s Complete Drug Store m with them. If they are willing to give their all for the glorj' of our college, surely we should be loyal enough to support them. To every organization that we belong, we should feel that we are a part of it and through interest and love for the organization be loyal. One dictionary defines loyalty as faithfulness to plighted faitli or duty. Another defines it as fidelity to cer tain things or persons. Yet there ia your definition and mine of school loyalty, the loyalty that is a great privilege and the duty of every student in our college. While we are here, and even after we leave, shall we not be loyal to the training received here to honor our college who gave its best to ]»repare us for the lives of usefulness, the monuments to honor and glorify her must be built by the lives of her stu' ilouts who arc loyal to her traditions and to all that are a part of it, or have ?ver been. Is it not a glorious way for their lives to live on and on, and through them to let this institution increase in li.sefulness and honor as the years go by? If we are loyal to Go-d, we can not fail to bo loyal to all others and the things that represent the best in our nation. Without loyalty we are failures; with it we possess a bridge that carries us to success and honor.

At once arouses tbi' devil of doubt to ask “Loyalty to ■uTiatV’’ Sancho Panzo was loyal to his master and Don Quijote was loyal to his l(‘hision of grandeur and yet both were fools. Obviously, the object of loyalty, if loyalty is to be worth while, must rise above folly, must have in it elements of grandeur as well e« sacri- iice. And yet the grandeur can be humble enough, like the blessed loyalty of a mongrel cur to his tramp master. Loyalties! What a tangle they make! Our problems of the day are a hash of loyalties. Galsworthy stated the situa tion ilraniatically in his play of that name in which the Jew was loyal to his race; v.arious high bred Englishmen loyal to their class; the villian loyal to his olili'i.'ition to a discarded mistress; his wife loyal to him; and the lawyer loyal to his profession. But even in this tangle of loyalties, two of the major loyalties are lacking—loyalty to State and loyalty to religious belief. .Tolin Brown was disloyal to the Union and nuule war against it for the sake of abolition. Yet his soul goes march ing on. and every little while a new monument is unveiled to one who im pressed liis age. Robert E. Lee was loyal to his State and disloyal to the Union in the momenteous decision of his life, but today his memory is cherish ed by the entire nation. Such are the nuani'Oa of loyalty in politics great and small. In our day the most compelling loyalty is nationalism. The sovereign state not only expects loyalty but demands and enforces it by law and police power in peace, by edict and bayonet in war. The historic clash of loyalties ie as real now as when .Tesus said, “Hender therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesiirs; and unto God the things that are God’s.’* Mike: I’d like a saxophone piece, please. Pat: Sorry, but we don’t sell ’em that way. Ya’ll have t’ take a whole saxophone. Dora: The way he sang just won my heart. Mabel: Take my advice and don’t let yourself go for a soug. Margie (leaving Slieik’s auto’mobile): Well, thanks for the huggy ride. Henpeck: These airplanes are get ting more dangerous every day. Wife: What, some one killed? Henpeck: No, but a chap got married in one yesterday. HERE AND THERE Martha Norelius, of New York, was re-crowned queen of the mermaids of the w’orld when she captured the Olympic 400-meter free style swim. Dr. Ida Mellen of the New York Aquarium is the only woman in the country who practices the profession of physician to fishes. Maria Gravoni, aged 2, traveling with her parents from Genoa, Italy to Buenos Aires, was carried over board by a great wave, but a second wave threw her back on deck and she was saved. Gordan Sutherland, a young musician of Birmingham, Ala., has won the Jul* Hard Foundation Scholarship for a year’s i^iano study at the American Conservatory of Chicago. Henry Wallace of Zion 111., has be come an Eagle Scout at the age of 13 years and 2 months, and is believed to be the youngest to attaia that honor. Annie Pickett, 13-year-old, is a type sotting machine operator for the Sterl ing, Neb., Sun, a weekly newspaper, and is considered a prodigy. Miss Elsie Foster and C. H.

PRINTERS TELEPHONE 216 Comer Davis and Worth BURLINGTON, N. C. the Tlic family, the clan, the tribe, the small state, the large state, the con- fodoration, through all these stages man has sliifted his i)rimary loyalty from one to another entity. Only a few great sjiirits, leaders, have done so willingly; the masses have been forced to it by tiie instinct for self-preservation, pay ing unconscious tribute to themselves ly idealizing that which, through its njiglit, is able to keep them and theirs nlive in a rough world. If the historic sequence holds, nationalism will give way in time to a larger loyalty embrac ii!g the whole world, but inside that vast frame of idealism the minor loyal ties of an infinity of lesser groups -w’ill continue to flourish. And that is well for without them life would be flat. For instance, take the A. E. F. in action. First there was the primary loyalty of patriotism dominant in all our armies. Then divisional loyalties. Even now', suppose you suggest to a. First Division veteran that the second Division saw^ more action than his out- lit. Listen sharply and you will hear a little—well—unlady-like language without charge. Tlien regimental loyal ties. There never was a more earnest battle in France than that waged with bare fists between a regiment of marine and the First Alabama Regiment o-f the Rainbow Division, out of sheer gang pride and group willfulness. Then com- ]triny loyalty, and so on down to the squad. Every soldier had the distinc tion of belonging to the best squad of the best company of the best regiment of the best division of the best army of the A. E. F. And the high command encouraged these loyalties. They kept the boys from going stale. And civilians, likewise, would go stale and stupid without their competing loyal ties. And why shouldn’t we, as students here in college, feel this same loyalty to our school as the soldiers of the A E. F. felt to their army? At every game that our football team enters into Sam Yontz, Indian grocer, received the following note and a 5c piece the other day: “1 owed you this for years. 1 beat you out of it while you were ti’.l Yontz and Hallauer.” The sender did not sign his name.

Front Street Phone 950 BURLINGTON, N. C. we should be there plajdng the game I and was discovered just in time. The broad outlines of the develop ment of society are probably much like the outlines of the development of the individual life. One of these tenden cies, we may represent by a series of enlarging circles. An infant is not capable of rendering service to others, and its powers and interests are centered on service to self. From self-love, its circle of interest widens to include the members of the family. Some grown people develop little beyond the stage of the small child. They are represented by the man who prayed, “Lord bless me and my w’ife and our soti, John, and his wife— us four and no more.” As the normal child develops, its in terests widen and its love extends to a neighborhood. Some grown people, fail to grow beyond this circle, or add only, some memei-s of their own church party, or race from other neighbor hoods. The normal, fully developed man feels his oneness with all humanity. His in terest and his service are so wide that they extend to an all-inclusive circle— the world. In this class are found such persons as David Livingstone, Florence Nightingale, and Louis Pasteur. It will be of interest to examine our selves and see in how large a circle our interests move. How far does our ser vice to others ext-end? “Oh, give me a manhood clean and pure, As the sparkling mountain stream; And a faith that will brighten life’s dark ro^d, Like the rising sun’s clear beam. And give me a hand that is firm and sure To aid some burdened soul. That I may lighten the heavy load, And help him to reach the goal. “Oh, give me a heart that will love all men, Regardless of race or creed. That I may pity where there be pain, And give where there is need. If these things I ask be granted then, Just these four things alone, I would not yearn for the wreath of fame. Or envy a king his throne.” —Paul A. Chadwick.
