The Social Value of the Col
lepe Bred.

l should be guilty of plagiarism
did l not remind you that the head
ing of my remarks is that used by
William James. Perhaps you have
not read what he has to say on the
subjest and will not compare him
with me.
In the article which he called
"The Social Value of the College
Bred" he says that 'the best claim
that a college education can possibly
make on your respect, the best thing
it can aspire to accomplish for you,
is this; that it should help you to
know a good man when you see
him."
Perhaps you may not agree with
him. At least, learning makes differ
ent impressions on different men.
Education" someone else says, "is
standing ground from which all
truths may be seen more truly and
more clearly"
With the help of the dictionary l
have changed the statement to this
the social desirability of the college
developed. We ask ourselves invol-
UNFAIRLY "are we more desirable to
our communities after We have had a
college education?" If we are not,
we might dispense with some of our
useless training. It is the spirit of
learning" that we want to catch and
not alone the ancient thoughts of
ancient men.
Woodrow Wilson, himself the for
|mer president of the great Univer-
sity Of Princeton, and one Of our
few really literary presidents, has
made a statement that I wish could
be craven on the walls of our great
colleges and universities. He says,
"It is not what a man is studying
that makes him a sophomore or a
senior, it is the stage that the college
process has reached in him."
The spirit of learning, plus the
spirit of worship, plus the spirit of
service are the three virtues that
: form the trinity of perfect govern
ment, democracy. Service is the
great keynote of the age. We have
personiied the word almost is call
ing the army "the service" In other
words, the most desirable place for
young man in the last few years,
and the flag which, next to the Star
lSpangled Banner, has gotten
nearest to our hearts we have called
the "Service Flag"

Should Devoutly Give Thanks.

However short crops seem to be in
Edgefeld county, and they are far
short Of an average yield, yet the
cotton crop is so much better than in
most sections of the cotton-belt that
we should give thanks rather than be
moan our fate. The writer was told
Iby a leading cotton factor in Angus
ia several days ago that he had been
down in southwest Georgia and that
in many places ginneries have closed
down for the season. Think of cotton
gins having nothing to do in Septem-
Der! The people of Edgefeld county,
notwithstanding the short crops, are
blessed beyond measure and should
give thanks to the Great Giver of all
good gifts.

Deposit Your Money in Bank.

There is no excuse for carrying
money on your person to lose, or
leaving it in your home to burn, pos
sibly. Edgefeld county has six pros
porous banks and will soon have an
other one. Surely that will be enough
to supply banking facilities for every

Deposit your money in bank and
relieve yourself of the risk. The
banks are willing to ia Ike the risk.
That is their business. Have bank
account and learn to pay bills by CIV
ing checks. That is the most conve-
nient and most satisfactory way.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The Ameri-

ton at the closing session here yes
terday Of its annual convention
adopted a resolution urging the in
coming Congress to repeal or suspend
for two years the wartime act Of
1917 raising the second-class postal
rates. The resolution declared that
such rates, "crude and unscientinc in
character and burdensome alike to
newspapers and their subscribers" af-
fecting the carriage of newspapers,
were ill-suited to the needs of the
country.
The resolution also asked that be-
fore any new legislation changing
rates in effect at the outbreak of the
war be enacted an expert commission
be appointed to inquire into the opera
tions of the post ONCE. in. regard to
carrying second class matter. This
commission would ascertain the actual
cost of such operations with a view
to assessing equitable rates.
The election of officers developed a
contest for the presidency Of the asso-

In a field army there are number
of officers and men who are not divi-

one division. For instance. there is
the personnel of the army headQuar-
ters. There are aviators who belong
to the Army and not any particular
division. There may be extra engi
neer units which are not divisional
troops. although divisions do include
engineer regiments. There are usu-
ally non-divisional artillery troops.

propriate for these men to wear di-

part below the cross-bar are various
parti-colored patches and small en-
blems. Sometimes these are red
and white, sometimes an engineer
castle in crimson and sometimes the
bulrs-eye effect of the aviation
corps. Each little device indicates
that the wearer served the Army as
a whole in some capacity.
In the lower lobe of the I'd Army's
capital "B" are similar colored
patches of various geOmetric forms.
with similar meanings. Sometimes
a soldier will be found wearing his
device inside the Army's
capital letter. This, it has been

to division he should wear it's
badge only. If he belongs to the
Army, but not to a division, he should
wear the Army's device, properly
