Annual Commencement Exercises at Trinity College Begin June 4 Invitations from the senior class of Trinity college to the annual com mencement exercises to be held June 4-7 have been received. A very attractive program has been arranged ASHEVILLE Plans to send mis- and immense crowds are expected to sionaries into German and Austrian j attend the exercises. The chief fea prisotn camps to attempt to convert ! ture will be the commencement ad- to the Baptist faith the "2,000,000 Russian prisoners of war" held there in outlined to the Southern Baptist Convention in session last week. The idea of converting war prisoners was advanced by a (native Russian, known in this country as William Fetler.who told the convention that he had been banished from Russia because of his religious activities after adopting the Baptist faith in Petrograd. Wants Russians Converted "After the war we can build Curches iai Russia," Fetler said, "but now we must take advantage of an opportunity we may never have again in a thousand years, and convert these Russians in prison. If we can ccaivert them to our Christian faith they will create such a religious awakening when they go home after j the war as the world has never seen." i Delegates Shed Tears dress by Hon. Joseph Wingate Folk, of Missouri. Mr. Folk has made for himself an enviable record in Ameri can public life, haviaig filled with dis tinction such offices as district attor ney and governor of Missouri. He is one of the most active reformers in the country and is an excellent speak er. ; Rev. John Herman Randall, D.D., of New York, who will preach the baccalaureate sermon, is one of the ablest ministers in New York city and is an author of considerable renown. Bishop John C. Kilgo, of Charlotte, who is scheduled to deliver the bac calaureate address needs, of course no introduction here.

My personal af fairs now require, and should re ceive, my undivided attention." A Symbol of Health The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece ate simple food, practiced temperance and purity. As a badge they used the five pointed star which they regarded as a symbol of health. A red five pointed star appears on each package of Chamberlain's Tab lets, and still fulfils its ancient mis sion as a symbol of health. If you are troubled with indigestion, bilious ness or constipation, get a package of these tablets from your druggist. You will be surprised at the quick relief which they afford. Obtainable everywhere. adv "Oh, pshaw!" the man exclaimed, "I told those fellows what to do, and they said it was all right." "Taking back his check, he pro ceeded to count the amount of cash for the watch, which was $50. Taking his watch and check he quietly left the store. "Going to the bank on which the check was drawn he presented the check. The banker, seeing the en dorsement of the prominent jeweler as you know, all these business men endorse their checks and then send them to the bank never ques tioned its worth, and paid out the $400. They haven't seen the man since." A pessimist is a man who can't forget even the mean things he knows about himself. -&v national joy smone ifMiM t& TOU'LL find a cheery howdy-do on tap no matter how much of a stranger you are in the W ! !
