Club Workers and Students Return
From Vacation Trip to Resume Work


The last breeze of summer is tanning tanned faces Of homecoming
vaeationists' who declare their delight in returning to God country
after expensive vacation seasons, spent in hot climates.
Also the last breeze of summer is rousing society from the cnnui Of
inertia TO lively interest in plans for autumnal activities. Clubs are re-
assembling and committees being assigned tasks for scheduled affairs of
cubdom.
There is an influx of students and teachers Sho will make things
happen in social as well us educational circle.
For of course the young people must have their fling in pleasure,
and even in strcssful war time. the indulgence in occasional soTccs does
no harm Ia the country and provides n wholesome outlet for the cffcr-
vcscent spirits of youth. d" Keep the young people happy is the ijunc
ton from all sources Of governmental and educational advice. OF
course they will lie happy. 1t is habit of youth and its reflex action on
older hearts is to brighten and swectcn existence for every body.
The presence in the city of digntarics of the state Bar with their
wives has given an impetus to local society, that has come like a refresh
ing breath from the hill tops To a furnishing desert.
There have been dinners. motor excursions. lunchcons. The rccep-
ton to more than one hundred representatives of tie Bar AT the Me
Milen home last evening was one of the bright incidents in local social
history.
