which are members of the Wisconsin
Colleges Associated, which is today en-
gagged in a statewide campaign of edu-
cation to acquaint the people of Wis
consin with the needs and problems
OF the small college, will visit and

These presidents will attempt to in
form the people of the state exactly
what is the part played by small
college in the states educational sys-
tenn. To illustrate: Of the 5000 liv-
ing alumni of these eight institutions
more than one-fourth are teaching.
Another one-fourth are in the profess
sions. The ministry, education and
social service is largely dependent up
on the small college for new men and
women.
These presidents will recall the part
that the Wisconsin small college
played in helping to win the war.

these eight institutions served with
the colors during the war While the
college served it suffered loss of in

problems.
October 24-31 is the date set when
these eight institutions will raise in
this country $5,000.O00 for combined
use, the money to be distributed on
basis Of student hours. The money
will be used in constructing new
buildings and in getting new equip
ment, in increasing the salaries of
members of the faculties and in get
ting larger and more competent fac
ulties, and in increasing endowments.
Wisconsin Is the first state to un-
dertake such an ambitious enterprise
and as a result is commanding the at
tention Of the nation
"Will Wisconsin again lead the
way?" is the question asked.

EARLY BUILDING FOR SUCCESS
Hours Means Everything in His
After Life.

If the young man could only as
similate very early in his life the fact
that merely to live and eat and drink
and sleep, and then die, is not enough.
but that he must rob himself Of many
of the pleasures usually taken up by
young men If he means to make his
life of the highest possible use to the.
world, he would set his foot on the
pathway to accomplish something
worth while.
There is no harm In billiards or
pool or in dancing, baseball or card
playing, or any one Of the scores of
different diversions and recreatfons
open to young men. The natural In
clination usually is to devote large
part Of the leisure hours of young man.
hood to such pleasures. But the youth
who Is really earnest in his ambition
to do something worth while will dis
cipline himself to resist such tempta-
lions during his early, formative years,
for the whole fate of man is largely
determined by how he utiliZes his plas-
tic years. He may be restricted by
circumstances, by environment, by
family ties in his selection of his daily
work, but every young man, particu-
larly nowadays, has many hours that
ne can call his own, and it is how he
chooses to use these hours that
counts most and tells mOst-Forbes

Determined EFFORT

October sixth, the first anniversary
OF the Fourth and in many ways the
greatest Liberty Loan campaign, has
been fixed for an Intensive effort to
sell 500 and $1,000 Treasury Savings
Certificates in every county of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District. The
appeal year ago was the destruction
of Germany's fighting force. This
year it will be the destruction of high
prices.
Work and Save" is the motto of
the District War Savings Organiza-

spread society organizations, a deter

this motto into action throughout the
six states of the Ninth District. Those
in charge are so firmly convinced that

principles of thrift is the most prac-

SOMETHING MORE THAN PLAY

a new occupation in life is told by
the federal board for vocational edu-
cation, which is helping the handi-
capped men Of the army, navy and ma

day world.
A veteran of Belleau wood called
upon the board. His left leg gone, he
appeared listIess and without hope.
He sat talking to the adviser, now and
then slowly turning a ring on his
finger. The adviser, to get the mans
confidence, asked to see the ring.
The man suddenly became animated.
Il made that" he said. Hammered
1t out of silver myself, and engraved
those figures on the outside. Nothing
but some playing of mine," he added.
The adviser looked at the ring, noted
the engraving, and said:
How would you like to learn en-
graving?"
Doing this?' said the soldier, fin
gering his ring. "Say, this amt work
its just play"
Lets have a try at it," replied the
adviser.
The federal board sent the man to
learn engraving, and in q few months
he qualified for a good job in a Jew

ance. We want to reduce the present
high cost of living and to get things
back on substantial and prosperous
peace basis with the least possible
trouble and delay
In order to do these things. it is
necessary for the people generally to
change their present way of spending.
People are still experiencing a re-
action from the forced thrift Of war
times and as a rule are spending reck-,
lessly. | believe that one of the prin-
cipal causes Of the present high cost
OF living is, as someone has expressed
it, the cost Of high living If we
are to pay our debts and get back to a
normal basis, we must all practice
economy of time, labor and money; we
must save and invest wisely. / will
not enter into an economic discussion
of the subject. There are undoubted-
ly many other reasons for the present
high prices, but think you will agree
with me in this-that the ONLY way Of
permanently lettering our condition is
by practicing thrift
Spend Wisely and Save.
AS you know, the Government
realizes this fact and is conducting a
nationwide campaign of thrift educa-
ton and the sale of War Savings
Stamps and other Government securi-
ties. In order to make this campaign
effective, it must be popu1arized. This
can only be done by inducing large
number of people to spend wisely and
save. You know the majority Of peo-
pie will not do this unless they are
impressed with the necessity of it
and are induced to join with their
neighbors in investing in Government
securities. In this way, they will pre-
vent their surplus money from being
spent for non-essentials and Injuries.
For this reason, we are convinced that

tical and effective way of combating
general Fl. G. L. that they have de-
cided upon an intensive campaign in
these principles and, by widespread
sale Of Government securities, to in
duce savings and popularize thrift.
Produce More-Spend Less.
''The people of America must pro-
duce more than they spend before the
law of supply and demand can operate
to reduce prices" said M E. Harri-
son, District War Savings Director.
In other words, they must stop ex-
travagance, spend wisely and save.
To pound home this point is at pres
emit the most important part of the
established program of the Savings
Division of the Treasury Department.
We will do this through the schools
and industrial societies, through our
personal workers and speakers in all
parts of the district, through litera-
ture and the press"

COLLEGE STARTS IN HOTEL.

Campion College, at Prairie du
Chen, one of the eight members of
which is engaged in a statewide edu-
cational campaign to acquaint the peo-
pie of the state with the problems of
the small college, was started in a
building which was originally a hotel,
then a hospital, then a state normal
school, then an independent school.
The school failed and the building was
turned over to the Fathers of the So

WHY GO TO COLLEGE?

The average salary per year of the
non-educated man in the United
States is $500. The average salary of
the high school graduate is $1,000
yearly. The average college graduate
of the United States received $1,000
annually. Hence for the outlay of the
four years of high school, according to
averages, man receives about two
dollars a day for the rest of his life,
and for money returns on the four
college years the graduate by aver
ages is due to add S700 a year to his
income until he dies All of which is
reason for giving thought to the Wis
conSin Colleges Associated.

VALUE OF EDUCATION.

Thinking men and women of today
should consider the value of an edu-
cation in a light quite aside from It's
monetary value. Clear thinking, good
judgment, leadership and executive
training and administrative ability are
largely the results Of college training.

Mr. Polk in the latter sense, but he
