TO THE NEW SOCIETIES

Dear Brothers of the Adelphic
and Sigma Tau Literary Societies,
We. the girls of Aelioian, take this
method of expressing to you our
sentiments regarding the important
step which you have just taken. In
the first PLACE, we congratulate you
on the names you have chosen for
your societies. We sincerely hope
the names will stand for so much
that they will always be remember
ed as a large part Of your Academy
work just as the name, Aelioian,
will never be forgotten by any OF
her loyal members.
The only way to make a society
boom is for each member to attend
regularly and take special interest
in the programs. Even tho our so
cietv is not as sCod as il would be
ir every member would do h.r bit,
those of us who arc faithful are do
ing everything possible to have in
teresting and instructive programs.
We are not altogether disappointed
either, because Professor Peck Wis
tied us Saturday night and said we
had an excellent one. or course
we do not really know that he
meant it, but anyhow he said it.
Maybe it was because he was not
slighted in our original valentine
box.
We are hoping that some warm
night we will get a chance to peek
under the blinds and see one of
your programs carried out. Wish
ing you great success and rapid
progress in your work, we remain
true friends.
Your AeliOian Sisters.

Just for a handful Of silver he
left us,
Just for a ribbon TO stick in his
coat"
These are the words of Robert
Browning, spoken nearly a century
ago, ana were supposed to have
been a singing rebuke to Words
worth for leaving his party. Upon
being questioned Browning denied
this but admitted that he really did
use Wordsworth as a model. Brown
ing was incapable Of doing an act
So small as this and it can only be
that he was gazing inteutly into the
future and pointing out the Judas
Iscariots that are corrupting the
character and destroying the morale
Of the youth Of our country.
We have them - there is no de-
nying it. Some do not get the Hand
ful of silver they do not need but
just the ribbon to stick in their
coats. But it may be said that Judas
Iscariot had some good in him, AMI
| take il for granted that he did
and that Christ knew all about it,
yet Christ could not employ the
recreant who, just for a handful of
silver, left his party and his con-
victions. Judas Iscariot was never
taken into the confidence Of Christ
the second time.
If we are to gain the undyine
praise Of our fellow men we must
first know that we are right then
do the right as God gives us the
power to see it. II is not the Royal
Family that can best put the ribbon
in the coat; mans worth to his
fellow men will determine his mer-
its and the joy from glad hearts
will be as the ribbon in the coat.
America is needing men. - men
with red blood who are willing to
fight. The man who volunteers his
service to his country and is will
ing to go anywhere the enemy may
be found and fight him is a patriot.
But the man who, tho exempt offers
his service on condition that he will
never be sent in hearing distance
Of the Krupp is no more a patriot
than the ordinary Stacker, and
should be told so when he offers
himelf up in the hypocritical pre-
tense of serving his country. Be a
man. If you are a patriot you will
go when your country needs you
and serve where you are best fitted
even tho it be in the trenches or in
the air as it may be.

SYSTEMATIC PLAN.

One single advertisement does not
make a campaign any more than one
single cannon shot makes a battle. If
you were to read one advertisement by
q local dealer and not see another by
him for long time, you would not be
much impressed.
Even II he advertised at long inter-
walls. you would not pay much atten-
ton to him. But the man who has fire.
Quent messages Of interest for you gets
you into the habit of looking for them.
Following this theory, he advertises
systematically. He maps out definite
plan or campaign His announcements
appear at regular and frequent inter-
walls. so you know when 10 expect them
and will. therefore, look for them.
He adopts a style which remains
characteristic of all his advertising.
Each advertisement has a certain In
diyiduality about II. and yet something
that Identifies II with him.
He may use a peculiar style of Illus
tration throughout his advertising or
maintain a uniformity of general ap-
pearance that distinguishes II from
other advertising at a glance. But
whatever its distinctive features may
be. he uses them constantly and at
regular intervals.

The Meaning Of "UnIque."

Charleston, S. c., Is very definitely
two things: II is old, and IL is a city.
There is the story Of young lady who
asked a stranger IL he did not consider
It unique town, writes Julian Street
in Golfers Weekly. lie agreed that II
was, and inquired whether she knew
the derivation of the word unique"
When she replied negatively he in-
formed her that the word came from
unus, meaning zone" and equus. mean
ing "a horse;" otherwise "a One-horse
town" This tale, however, Is a libel,
for despite the general superstition OF
chambers of commerce to the contrary,
the estate of cityhood Is not necessar-
lily a matter of population nor yet or
commerce.

CLEAN UP DAY"
By Miss Pearl Mitchell

Last Saturday was clean up day
for the Vocational Department OF
Berca College. The clothing was
first carried out and put on wires

was moved out Of each room. the
room thoroughly swept and washed
with water and lots Of soap, and
then this was rcwashcd with water
containing a generous supply Of
disinfectanls. Every article in each
room went through the same process
of cleaning, and when they were
dry, the bedding furniture, and Oc-
cupants belongings were carried
back to Their respective places in
the dormitory after being thorough
" aired and cleaned, and we're "set
right" again.
Next, after every room, hall and
entire house had been cleaned.
every person in It was requested to
clean up to match his room. Since
these steps were taken to further

Dear Berea Friends:

Your unreseryed kindness, gen.

ers have been a great help to me
during the early days Of my be-

services to my beloved wife, you
who have so earnestly endeavored
Ia help me bear my sorrow, You
who have extended expressions Of
sympathy, all have my sincere
thanks and lasting gratitude. Sure

things. Such beneyOlence shows
very plainly that the Spirit of
Christ still lives in the hearts OF
men. Please continue TO pray for
my motherless boy and for me.

Barley Long Used as Food.

The use Of barley as a food began
long before the days Of Pliny. the his
torian. for he refers to the fact that II
was the most ancient allment of man
kind. The Greek athletes we were
told were fed almost exclusively on
barley for II was perhaps TO this sin
gle outstanding fact that much of their
wonderful prowess was due. And in
the Bible Exodus ODD we find that
the ancient Egyptians cultivated bar
ley extensively. But our earliest
knowledge OF its first use as food
dates back over two thousand years
before the Christian era. where II was
widely used for that purpose by the
people Of northern Asia.
