nifty unified whole.
Vocational Schooling Explained.
and the advantages TO be derived from
the pursuance OF a course in such an
institution were emphasized by Mr..
Bruce. He asserted that the vocational
school does not stand for billiards. for
incorrigibles or for the mentally weak,
but is for the boys and girls who are
anxious to learn specific trade.
The vocational institutions. he said, give
a discipline of inestimable value, mas
much as they train a student toward
actual living and toward the actual de-
mands of this day. 1t is not a short time
school, he declared, but is an institution
which takes into consideration that its
entering students are sufficiently ad-
vanced mentally and in age and have the
moral attachments which are absolutely
essential in the successful completion OF
a trade.
Importance of Skilled Labor.
DR.. Chiids urged that students be train
ed to skilled labor with the hands, in or
der 10 earn better livelihoods. y good
cook, he said, is just as important in
community AS good physician. and all
honorable labor is dignified.
DR.. Marshall spoke highly of the work
of the vocational schools, saying they are

cause they train students in one particu-
lar thing, thereby obtaining for the COM
munity skilled tradesmen.

Money Talks and
Money Listensl

When an advertiser speaks to
You through the columns OF a live
daily newspaper like The Star he
is talking to your pocketbook.
Money, as a rule, is a rather con-
servative listener. IT Is not moved
by noise, but by reason.
Money knows its worth and al
ways expects value received.
Ii usually acts when it feels that
action Will be profitable.
The messages of the advertisers
are carefully thought out and sane
ly printed.
Advertisers realize that they
must make 1t pay you before it will
pay them.
That is why advertising is usual
~ such pleasant and profitable
reading.
IL is money talking to money and
presenting the case with the calm
logic of the hour
The advertiser talks to you
through your daily newspaper.
How good listener are you?

The women were no small factor in
the days work, as they prepared and
served provisions in picnic fashion for
the thousands of laborers. Business was
practically suspended for the day all over
the State. men of all walks, including the
Governor Of Missouri and the Governor
of Kansas, handled pick and shovel, and
many who were unable to render phys-
ical assistance contributed financially.
The plan met with such hearty endorse

be followed with beneficial results in

An anonymous contributor to the col

lacks the moral courage TO appear
in print under his own name, but
skulls behind {" Progressive Democrat. 2
charges the MIDLAND JOURNAL with
mud singing because of the publication
of the fact that certain of the aspirants
for nomination to the State Senate and
House of Delegates are being back-d by
the Havre de Grace race track gang to
look after the gamblers interests id the
next Legislature.
A declaration from those candidates
under suspicion as to their positi on
the race track question. would be more
to the point, and is what the voters de-
mand. as there is not single candidate
in Cecil county dares come out openly as
fivoring the crowd that is back Of this
gambling business, knowing full well
that such declaration would mean POI
litical suicide.
Cecil county has had its innings with
the race track bunch, and kicked them
out. and any candidate favoring legisla-
ton in the interest of these gamblers will
be let severely alone by the voters.

They are the greatest mimics in the

Sometimes when the senate is not

proceedings the pages themselves go
into a solemn senatorial session. One
will impersonate the vice president,
another the chief clerk, and so on.
Various other boys will pretend to be
either their fayorite senators or the
senators of home states. Each boy oc-
cupies the seat to which the real sen
