way the government has secured from

such work in time Of peace.
Up to date dozen or SO OF these

THEY'RE GOING HOME.

Almost every train now ia crowded
with young men and women ON their
way home from the colleges TO spend
the holidays with their parents, and
to renew again the friendships and
acquaintances with their erstwhilc
comrades and friends. It is an in
spring sight to note the enthusiasm
and eagerness. to say nothing OF the
fresh youthfulness OF these young
people who are preparing themselves
for the battle Of life, and who are
thus becoming better equipped to fight
lts battles.
These young folks will meet chang
ed conditions at home. II 1t be the
first year away from home, they will
wonder how they could stay away
after the holidays are over. they will
80 want to be ut homo with their loved
ones. II Il be the last year they will
wonder how anyone can stand to live
In the prosy old place where things
are not 30 up-to-date as at the fash
tonable college. and that their "old
folks" do not dress az swell" as they
do at the college town or city.
Then. too, they will find that there
ls not this year the air Of prosperity
as was formerly noted on their return
from college. The mother and father
VIII wear their old clothes. perhaps.
and the lines OF care will be a bit
deeper on their brows, and while
they will make an effort to show that
things arc as they "uaed to be" It will
be found that they have to economize
here and there to keep their boy or
their girl at school. Just how great
the sacrifice they will never know till
they have changed places with their
father or their mother. and have
children OF their own at college.
This fall has been q hard one for
parents whose ambition is to give
their children the advantages Of col
lege course. Be 1t to the everlast-
ing credit OF these parents that they
are making the sacrifices necessary
to keep their. boys and girls at COL
iege. and If these boys and girls arc
not making good use Of their time.
be It to their everlasting shame. Per-
haps the boy or girl going home to
tho rural district, whose father is a
small farmer, will be most struck
with the changes necessary to keen
them in college.
3 To these boys. and girls The Intel
'igencer wishes q most enjoyable

may every one Of them be able to re-
