THE HOMECOMING STUDENTS, When the boys and girls come home for the holidays from schools and colleges, they are an object of much adora tion from admiring relatives. Many of the home folks are worrying' for fear they are studying too hard, but that is probably the least of things that should excite alarm. Judg ing by their new slang, their more self confident poise, their increased sophistication, they have learned a great deal. Soma of the parents may feel they have learned too much. Not so much is heard of the courses they have studied, which one would think from their conversation, was a very minor clement. That does not mean that they are not doing some atin bet they can lick 'em blind real work. It would be tedious for anyone to grind away on BY BERT & BATES.

The power of the home to influence them will have passed to some extent. These days before they have made this final flight into the world are precious for those who love them. There is still time to give them good words of counsel. The home folks must realize that that young people can not be held up to all the old ' fashioned ideas.

H is a close business, with hard competition. The report suggests that such a store should sell at least $11,000 a year in order to make a reasonable profit. That would suggest that meat dealers should advertise more, so that their expenses on each sale would be reduced by volume Df business.

IThe tj&gzs3 tiennans are anxious to borrow money to put themselves on their feet industrially. It will be considered among the busi ness men that people who break their international treaties, niislit also default on their promises to pay. Possibly how ever, this German armament may be exaggerated, as pre paration for a great war is too big a proposition to be car ried on in dark corners. o According to l)r Grat., editor of tho Epworth Herald, as he remarked in an address to the Epworth League, the faults of tho younger generation are due more to unspanked parents than to unspanked children. There is much com plaint about the morals and manners and ideas of the young crowd. It' parents were n little more willing to assert them selves, children would yield obedience more readily. It is ford Hess, Donald Ferguson, Lynn Ueckley, Orval Agee, Claire Taylor, Harry Helliwell, Glade Bruton, Kenneth Clurk, Bert Lawrence, Ed mund Dolan, Ernest Forrester and Guy Perrin.
