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

come soon when in their consciousness of their own inde

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

Some people may entertain the idea that retail meat

read a recent IT. S. department of agriculture survey, which
indicates thai, the average retailer makes a net profit of only
one and seven tenths cents out of each dollar that the con
sumer pays. 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

Uneasiness is caused in Europe, because the allied com
mission that has been investigating German armament,
found that C.ermnny has more soldiers than is allowed by
the treaty, and that factories are secretly making arms. 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.

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
