WARNED AGAINST

Room Only for One Flag is

Speaker D eclares.

With the foe from without con.

munity House last evening.
Continuing along the lines Of tina
danger OF bolshevism in the United
States Mr.. Wiegel said: What caused
the overthrow Of Russia? Was It the
German sword? No. German propa.
gandists took advantage Of the igno.
rant classes Of Russia, a country OF
200 millions Of people. Are they gov.
erned? No. They are not governed.
They are creating one vast problem
each one is seeking to devour the 9th.
er. There is no nationalism or pa.
triotism and the people are victims
OF anarchists. a coterie Of which were
formerly thugs Of the slums Of New
York city. WHAT'S to be the outcome?
Nobody knows.
"Bolshevism stirs up strife and tu:
mutt. Look at It square in the face.
Look at all the horror that has be-
fallen Russia. Some Of the emissaries

markable, according to John 'Hecke.
felder's Narrative" printed in 1918:
"ln all their meetings whether pub:

attention to the observations and ad.
vice Of the aged. No one win attempt
to contradict them, nor interfere In
any manner, OF even speak. unless he
is especially called upon. The indians
argued that the aged have lived
through the whole period Of. other lives
and long before the others were born.
They not only have ali the knowledge

the young submitted their inired view

THE OUNCE NAY DO. AND THE STAR

AUR old friend Noah Webster tells US that Ounce
is an ignoramus and blockhead Some school
teachers say Ounce is a boy who I'll never amount
to anythms." And some Of the older fellows know how
ed to feel to stand in the school room corner and wear
ounces cap Butsomehew or other they pulled through.
And il appears that other Ounces have done even
better The United States bureau Of education has just
published report on school examinations and failures to
pass It says: .
That the formal examination no criterion for deter
mining ability conclusion abundanty supported BY an
examination Of the school careers Of men who have become
famous. For example. Thomas A. Edison never could
pass his school examinations. and when his teacher reported
thatitwas awaste Of time for him 10 attend school he
taken out and never returned.
Charles w. Eliot, while president Of Harvard Uni
yersy once remarked that he would not have been able
to pass the entrance examinations Of his own university
Henry Ward Beeeher stood sixy-fourth in an examna-
ton m grammar while the boy who ranked FIRST became
barber IN southern city,
All this should be interesting. and somewhat consolng,
to the boy or girl who failed to pass" 1t doesn't mean
that those who win rt prizes school examinations fail
after life, but It does prove that Ounces cap often is
the wrong head and that failure to pass school exam-
inaton won't keep a fellow from becoming successful
business man. leaned professional man, banker law
yer, farmer inventor educator. preacher, president
Posblyis that school star" fail IN later life because
their school successes keyed them upo false notch Of self
confidence which dseomtenanced further effort; and on
the other hand it may be true that school failures are

Current Events has the following good
advice for women: "The power to
control prices Is to a great extent in
the hands Of consumers. Our Ameri-
can habit Of paying without question
whatever price the storekeeper asks,
puts US at disadvantage. What Is
needed is a few million people with
the courage bluntly to tell the store
keepers and their clerks that prices
