Every one is doing his best for
Christmas, the season Of the year.
A short Christmas program will be
given Friday, December 21st by mem
bers of the several societies.
Excuses for absence or hardness
tell the story of the weakness of
human nature. Not always child
nature either.
Colds, sore threats, a little rheuma-

plants that are echoed.
The football season having ended
we are busy arranging for the next
sport. Basket ball is next in order
The class games will be played the

Roy F. Bailey in the Salina Journal:
1t seems rather strange that one
should be compelled to solicit adver-
Using, or offer arguments for its use.
Consider the case of the business man
who gets up in the morning from an
advertised mattress, shaves with an
advertised soap and advertised razor,
and takes off advertised pajamas and
puts on advertised underwear, adver-
tised hose, advertised shoes, an adver
tised collar, an advertised necktie, an
advertised suit, seats himself at the
table and eats advertised breakfast
food, advertised bacon, drinks adver-
tised coffee, puts on an advertised hat
lights and advertised cigar and goes
to his Office where he turns down the
advertising solicitor of a newspaper
on the ground that advertising does
not pay.
