This strong drama has gained especial
distinction because of the fact that it
presents new treatment of the 'tri-

flames of guilty passion have burned

happiness thus created there emerges

The universities, although still turn

broad and as able as in the past. are
at the same time training those
minds to go out and grapple success
fully with the great problems of the
day
The older universities turned out
training. But it took these men the
best part of their lives, after they
left college. to learn the ins and outs
of business. politics and social work.
This is to a large degree responsible
for the criticism formerly made made
of college men.
The universities of today are Civ

JOIN THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Don't you think all citizens should
be public spirited? You say what
good will it do to join the CONNER
cial Club? Now leet's analyZe your
stand and see. To Go this We will
take stock of just what the CONNER
cial Club has done for Columbia.
In the seven years since its birth
the club has made Columbia one of
the best known towns of the state.
In the crOss-state highway fight it
has been able to place Columbia on
the transcontinental map. 1t is
through the efforts Of the club that
we have the Hamilton Brown Shoe
Company 1t will be through the eff
forts of the club that we will get
other industries. The Commercial
Club has also brought to the city
dlN
give wide prominence to a town.
Almost all realize that these
things can come from a public spir-
tied organization, but they are al
ways willing that the other fellow
shall do the work.
OF course the club will still go on
doing things for the good of the
town, but it needs the support and
aid of the entire citizenship if it
does the greatest amount of good.
There is need of more members and
more money. If you are public
spirited citizen do not lag on the
outside but come in and boost; for
in so doing you will greatly aid in
the upbuilding of the town.
