AN EDITORIAL THAT STILL |
HOLDS GOOD
Republished from Vol. VIII,
No. 3, of the Guilfordian. H.
Grady Mcßane, Editor.
"'ln the college newspapers, as
well as other publications,which
are supported largely by the ad
vertising which business men do
through their pages, the expres
sion, "Patronize Our Advertisers,'
may usually be seen. A very good
expression, indeed, and one which
the Guilfordian wishes all of its
readers and all Guilford students
to bear in mind when doing any
shopping, no matter how small the
amount may be. The business
men who have advertised through
the Guilfordian are the best that
can be found within convenient
shopping distances.
"Some have refused to support
our publications because they
could see no possible returns. Oth
ers think that they will receive
support of the students without
advertising. We suggest that the
business that is anxious to receive
the support of the students and is
not willing to support their activi
ties, is not worty of students' sup
port.
It is therefore hoped that the stu
dents here will support those who
support us. And go further,
let them know that Guilford is
supporting them. When you buy,
let it be, first of all from our ad
veritsers, and then tell them that
you are a Guilford student. This
makes the business man feel that
he is getting returns, which he has
a right to expect.
"'Students have not been careful
to do this in the past. This is due
largely to the fact that they have
not known just what it means to
finance a college newspaper, and
thus do not really appreciate its
su; porters. But that problem is
yours as well as the Business
:\Lviager's, and it is your duty to
perform the simple little task, that
has been suggested. First, know
our advertisers; and then, let them
know that vou know them."
John Calder, the economist, says
the value of a man is equal to
his production production minus
his consumption.
When his production is less
than his consumption, he has no
value; he is, in varying degrees, a
social parasite.
When his production equals his
consumption, he merely justifies
his existence.
When his production exceeds his
success.
consumption he is an economic
When his economic success is
devoted to things which strengthen
and uplift himself and his com
munity, he is a socitl success.

WHAT'S WHAT AND WHY
ON THE MAGAZINE SHELF
By Katherine Shields
This department was recently
advanced from Faculty Depart
mental Notes and told to gather
any and every bit of news of in
terest and gossip available for a
standing column. Sa we did what
we have always wanted to do—
armed with a pencil and notebook,
we spent the whole of two periods
in the library, reading magazines
and jotting down any amusing or
eye. For the secret might as well
iteresting tid-bits that caught our
be out. We've always had a deep
desire to write a sort of general
book review about the magazine
shelf, and what things we liked and
what things we didn't. Then, too,
some of the magazines looked so
new and unread; when for the sake
of the college they ought to be
thumbed and torn as much as the
American and Good Housekeeping
—both of which lose their backs
with amazing rapidity.
"Two Genial Ghosts Scan the
Autumn Books," in this month's
"International Book Review."
proved to be the amusing and clev
er title of a review on present day
literature. There is some right
ingenious repartee between the
ghosts, though who they were we
never exactly discovered. We leave
it to the English department to
identifv those two spooks.
In the same issue Professor Wil
iian Lyon Phelps recommends for
general reading his choice of the
best books of the last twelve
months. The list ranges from
Fannie Hurst's "Lummox" to
King Larder and from Dr. Frank
Crane to P. G. Wodehouse.
Those who took English 111 last
year, and enjoyed the few short
poems of Sara Teasdale, will find
an article on "The Poet of Life's
| Inner Beauties." It is a review of
| her latest collection of poems
which the author calls "the loviest
i of those delicate and shining tunes
which Sara Teasdale composed."
We recommend from the Octo
ber Atlantic Contributor's Club a
delightful article on "Where there
are Pipes There May be Smoke."
Then, too, in the Contributors'
Column of the same number there
's a letter for mathematicians
only. We confess that we never got
through it—for it sounds as con
fusing as Alice in Wonderland.
Privately we believe some genial
contributor wrote it with his ton
gue in his cheek.
Being in dire need of material
we gave the October Harpers a
hasty once-over. There are some
fine stories "Woman Come to
Judgment" for example, and
"Julie Cane,"' by Harvey O'Hig
THE GUILFORDIAN
gins after a run of eight months j;
has finally come to a satisfactory j
end. Tucked in towards the back I
is an amusing paper on "The
High-boy" which is a story that is
not a story. Incidentally it is by
Phillip Gibbs, who is the author of
that delightful mystery story "The j
Gay Conspirator."
Of course the really literary j
magazines with the deadly boring j
looking covers ought to be read,j
because they make you cultured
and sophisticated and enable you j
to understand modern impression
istic poetry —but if you are one ;
of those peopl who honestly love
the "American"and "Ladies Home j
Journal'' and "McCalls" and to:
whom the Atlantic Monthly looks
and is about as interesting as the j
"Congressional Record" we would
like to drop a few hints about "The J
Beauty Prize" in Good House
keeping. It concerns two twins —
young and lovely, who are always
being taken for each other. Of
course the young men who are in j
love with them—the number is j
alarming—never can tell which
they are proposing to —hence the j
plot.
Then those who think that they j
are artistic and interesting and are
ambitious to live in a garret in
Greenwich Village, might ramble
amongst the summer back numbers
of this same magazine and read
some of the Day-light Tenement
stories by Louise Dufton. We j
promise you that they have the
"artistic atmosphere."
Lastly as a hint to those fresh- j
men who are worrying so much J
over those weekly themes, we I
would console them by telling j
them that nothing is impossible to
to write about. Sometime during
this summer we read a delicious
takeoff on "Sears & Roebuck - ' cat
alogue. Surely some one might get
some inspiration from either the !
"National" or "Bellas Hess."
THINGS THAT INTEREST ME
Americans have a genius for j
the wide distribution of the eon- ,
veniences and comforts of life.
Half of all the railroad mileage
on earth has been built in our own
country, more than two-thirds of
all telegraph and telephone lines |
have been built in our own coun- i
try, and eighty per cent of all the
automobiles manufactured and in
use in the world are in our own
country.
"What did I get out of it?"
Well, by the invention of trans- j
portation facilities the ordinary j
laboring man has been able to
double his per capita production,
and thereby raise his standard of
living by an equal percentage.
Everyone makes a fool of himself
now and then.

nourishing and healthful. Compare its fine, smooth, deli
