Prepare. prepare. prepare!

The bugle sounds from sea to sea:
Prepare. We sons of liberty.
Let every patriot take his stand
To lfve-or die-as that need be.
To guard this land of liberty,
Prepare. prepare. prepare!
The common need is common cause.
And all the watching world shall see
The splendor Of our harmony
We seek no quarrel-fear no foe
But for the honor of our land
Each freeman's bow is in his hand
Prepare. prepare. prepare!
That all the world shall see and know

To hold the rights of these fair lands.
No foe must find an entrance here
And none within our midst shall be
To harm the cause Of liberty.

America stands undismayed,
In noble armOr well arrayed
To keep the source of freedom pure.
From zone to zone. from sea to sea
Wen guard our sacred liberty.

Function of the College.

Wisdom is the result of education,
and consists not merely of a knowledge
of facts and principles but in the power
to think. to reason. to apply those prin-
ciples and use those facts in the ac-
complishment of lifes tasks. The COM
mon answer to the question why go
TO college," would be, ito get an edu-
cation" Perhaps to the high school or
academy graduate who is facing this
question. however, it may seem more
like finishing" his education, for he
probably feels that he has already ex-
plored the fields of knowledge quite
thoroughly. and considers himself fully
equipped for LIES tasks. But education
is. or should be. lifelong process; it
is acquired not only by supervised
study, but by observation and expert
ence. and the college training can at
most but form part of the educative

Why Not College.

With all these reasons for going,
are there any valid reasons for not
going to college? Some will say it
requires too great a sacrifice on their
own part-of time. money, work or
technical business preparation-but
these are purely selfish and unworthy
of consideration. Others may say 1t
requires too great a sacrifice on the
part of those who /have claim on
them, and need their help, financial
or physical Such unselfish service may
reasonably postpone or even prevent
the student from going to college
but he still can get the help Of cores
pondence schools. libraries and other
substitutes for college facilities.
The demand of the day is for eff
cheney and the, principle of prepared
ness now applied to almost every
other phase of life, places on each per-
son the responsibility Of developing his
faculties to their full capacity--and
there are few indeed who can attain
this without q college education.

Gated" and this remark is founded
upon q truth which no one recognizes
more than the men in question. The
Self-made men who have achieved
greatness have done so in spite of their
handicap, and would have been much
greater If they had had college train
ing. There are few such in the his
tory of the world who have won
permanent fame. On the other hand.
the most of those who have greatly
served the race have had a college
training or its equivalent. For ex-
ample, in the church we Immediately

Mott as examples of. college trained

Prescribed Way.

He has prescribed for man perfect
way for moral conduct. No improve
ment can be made to the decalogue;
nor can anything be added to the JUS
tice and wisdom of the golden rule.
Whatsoever ye would that men should
do TO you. do you even so to them {;
for this is the law and the prophets"
He has prescribed a perfect way for
mans spiritual restoration and re-
demption. Here it is:
What the law could not do, in that
it was weak through the flesh, God
sending His own Son in the likeness
OF sinful flesh. and for sin: condemned
sin in the flesh: that the Righteousness
OF the law might be fulfilled in us. who
walk not after the flesh, but after the
spirit" And again: God SO loved the
world that He gave His only begotten
Son. that whatsoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting
life"
Faith in Christ is the prescribed way.
II is Gods way. and His way is per-

justice and In its suficieny.

l think, though the woman--if it is a
woman-is riding on a mans saddle"
BrOuillard's eyebrows went up in a
little arch of surprise. Harding, the
Typographical engineer who had made
all the preliminary surveys and had
spent the better part of the former
summer in the Niquoia, had reported
on the Massingales, father and son, and
his report had conveyed a hint of pos
sible antagonism on. the part Of the
mine owners to the government prof
ect But there had been no mention
of a woman.
"The MassinTale mine, eh?" broke
in the appraiser Of values crisp1y.
They showed us some ore specimens
from that property while we were stop

good and plenty rich-if they have the
quantity. And somebody told me they
had the Quantity, too; only it was too
far from the railroad-couldnt jack
freight it probably over the Timan-
yonis."
In which case it is one of many"
Brouillard said, taking refuge in the
generalities.
But Mr.. Cartwright was not to be SO
easily diverted from the pointed par
ticulars-the particulars having to do
with the pursuit Of the market trail.
I'm beginning to get my feet on
bottom, BrouilIard,' he said, dropping
the courtesy prefix and showing his fat
hands deep into the pockets of the
dust-coat There's a business propo-
sition here, and it looks mighty good

Brouillard laughed at is only the
fragrance of future reclamation-sery-

There will be a good bit of money
spent here before the Buckskin desert
gets its maiden wetting"

of the western barrier, was leaving the
canyon portal in deepest gloom.
Picking his way judiciously because
the trail was new to him, Brouillard
came in due time to the descending
path among the spruces and scrub
pines leading to the western outlook
upon the desert swales and sandhilis
At the canyon portal, where the forest
thinned away and left him standing
at the head Of the final descending
plunge in the trail, he found himself
looking down upon the explanation Of
the curious apparition.
None the less, what he saw was in
itself rather inexplicable. In the first
desert looping Of the river a campfire
of pinyon knots was blazing cheerfully
and beside it, with a picnic hamper for
table, sat a supper party Of three
two men and a woman-in enveloping
dust-ccats, and a third man in chauf-
feur leather serving the sitters. Back
of the group, and with it's detachable
searchlight missing, stood huge tour
ing car to account for the picnic ham,
per, the dust-coats, the man in leather,
and, doubtless, for the apparitional eye
which had appeared and disappeared
at the mouth of the upper gorge. Also
it accounted, in purely physical
sense, for the presence of the picnick-
ers, though the whim which had led
them to cross the desolate Buckskin
desert for the dubious pleasure of max
ing an all-night bivouac on it's eastern
edge was not so readily apparent.
The young engineer saw no reason
why he should intrude upon the group
at the cheerful campfire On the con-
trary, he began speedily to find good
and sufficient reasons why he should
not. That the real restraining motive
was sudden attack Of desert shyness
he would not have admitted But the
fact remained. Four years in the rec
lamation service had made the good
looking young chief of construction a
man-queller Of quality. But each year
of isolation had done something
toward weakening the social ties
A loosened pebble turned the scale.
When bit Of the coarse grained sand
stone of the trail rolled under Brouil-
lards foot and went Gathering down
to plunge into the stream the man in
the chauffeur leather reached for the
searchHght lantern and directed it's
beam upon the canyon portal. But by
that time Brouillard had sought the
shelter of the scrub pines and was re-
tracing his steps up the shoulder Of
the mountain.

those belonging to the ministry Of
state have been captured by the Aus

discovery Of the important docu-

During the Austrian crossing Of
the Save river, the general staff Of
one division quartered itself In On
old coister inhabited by a monk, and
an Austrian nurse who had ben cap
tured by the Serbians and forced by
them to cook at the cloister. She
had been there two months, she told
the officers.
Just after her arrival, she said, a
huge motor truck rolled up one
night. 1t was manned by fleeing
serbians who forced those in the
house In room and locked them
in for six hours. When they were
released the motor truck and the
huge cases 1t bad contained had dis
appeared. The nurse was sure the
truck had been unloaded at the
|cloister. G
