 One such set that recently attract ed attention is made of ivory colored porcelain. There are several narrow, troughlike flower holders that pushed together, form an irregular oblong in the centre of the table. Small short stemmed flowers are arranged in masses in these dishes.
 Then there are eight tall candle sticks to match, and they are group ed around the flower dishes. A mir TOT fits nicely into the space defined by the flower dishes, and. of course reflects the flowers above and around | it

SAVING AND SERVING

BY cconomizing in consumption
and with the resultant saving pur-
chasing the Governments war securi-
ties. the American citizen performs
a double duty. The citizen and the
Government can not use the same
labor and material; If the citizen
uses its, the material and the labor
can not be used by the Government.
II the citizen economies in con-
sumption. SO much material and
labor and transportation space is
left free for Government uses. And
when the saving Affected is lent to
the Government more money Is
thus placed at the disposal of the
Government.
The more the people save, the
more money, labor. and materials
are left for the winning of the war,
the greater and more complete the
support given 10 our fighting men.

The College On the Hill in Kentucky
By Marshall E. Vaughn, Secretary of the College

There is a degree of scholastic
sentiment connected with an insti-
tuition Of learning situated on hill.
II stands as a beacon light Of civili-
zation, Of humanity, Of Christian
brotherhood. II has been, thru all
times, a disseminator of knowledge,
a destroyer of ignorance and super
stition.
Berea College, i'm the true spirit
Of this sentiment, is located on a
hill in Madison County, Kentucky,
nesting at the foot of the great
Cumberland Mountains. The broad
cxpanse of the Blue Grass Region
spreads out to the north, and the
beautiful panorama Of inspiring
hills is to be seen toward the south.
Berea is the gateway of the noun
tain region, thru which thousands
Of people have passed into the great
world in order TO take their places
in the Parliament of Mankind. IL
is a great training school where
people come TO get their equipment
for life: many returning 10 enrich
their own localities. some going to
supply the needs of foreign places.
This college on the hill in Ken
lucky continues 10 grow, in spite Of

adverse circumstances, high cost Of
living, and the great destructive
World War.
There are reasons for the growth
Of this beacon light on the hill.
These reasons are fundamental and
basic. In the first place, Berea
stands for the simple life, and has
stood for il from the beginning.
When this war came upon us, we
did not have 30 make great cOnces-
sions in our form of living, because
WE have practiced thrift and econ
omy from the very first.
When the Government called up
on the people in the Nation TO con-
serve food, it simply made a nation
wide appeal for the thing which
Berea has been preaching and prac-
ticing for thirty years. When they
said that we must all work or fight,
that is but putting in the national
program the motto which has hung
in our dining room for twenty
years, "He that will not work. shall
not eat"
When the Nation began TO feel
the tremendous need of vocational
schools TO prepare young men and
