Success in Life

From President Hibben of Princeton in Leslie's.
 Whatsoever be your station, you vii, sooner or later be called upon to deal at close quarters with your fellowmen. Your success in life will depend upon your ability to work with them and through them in mutual understanding and co- operation. The restlessness of the grea- masses of mankind, which is constantly increasing menace to all our political, so- cial and economic life. challenges the at- tention and serious study of the college man. The problems created by this cor dition cannot be solved until they are understood Who can understand, if not the man of trained mind? The war has removed all social distinctions between comrades. Do not create anew these diff ferences. Recognize a man when you see him. Give him the hand of comradeshiL, and let him feel that you believe in him, that you wish to give him the chance tn prove the worth there is there.

Will Poincare Try to
 Succeed Himself ?
By Associated Press

Paris, July N-Prennier Clen1enceau's 8 reference in recent debate in the Cham Der of Deputies to the renewal of pow CTS of the President of the republic was interpreted in some quarters as an in- dication that President Poincare would be candidate for a second term at the Elysee palace
 In the speculations regarding the presi- dential elections to be held in January next, the remark is frequently made that the choice of the congress of Versailles could be forecast with certainty if Pre- nlier Clemenceau made known his will lingness to stand as candidate for the office of chief executive. Aside from the premier and the usual candidates of the president of the Chamber of Deputies and Senate one other name canvassed was that of Alexandre Ribot, former minister of foreign affairs and premier.

CARTER TALKS OF SCHOOL

Anniston, July 27-(Special.) )-"Ow- ing to some legal mistake not fore seen by the county school commission CTS the recent district school election for the three mill tax with which to
 build the proposed new school building in Oxford has been found void, which
 nece1sitates the calling of another election" said Rev. P. G. Carter Satur- day in discussing the school question in
 Oxford
 "As there is some probability of time extended for which bonds can be issued this may prove a blessing in
 disguise as the district of Oxford needs
 period of fifteen years in order to secure enough money with which to build suitable school building. The election is now being held up until the state legislature passes it's new laws in regard to district and city elections for this purpose.
 "It is therefore uncertain just when the next election will be called, but possibly within the next 90 days. Ger tainly 1t should be held as soon as | possible, for the need of the school 1 is apparent to all, and the need is | urgent since the state authorities have | refused us the further use of the high
 school for this purpose. Under special ] stress the time may be extended. Much, however, can be done in form.
 ulating the plans for the new. school
 building before the next election is
 called. The proposed location should be determined upon and secured. While 1 nothing definite can be decided upon ! as to the building to be erected. since we do not know just how much money
 we will have at our command with which to erece the building it is pro- | posed to erect. In this way most ot
 the preliminary work will be done and | much time saved, so that when the ] election is held, the contractors will
 be ready within few days to go on | with the work, and thus make it pos
 sible to enter the building before the
 next school term closes.
 The selection of suitable site is
 admittedly a. difficult matter, but this 1 necesstates all the more immediate action in the matter, and the most inn 1 portant question now before the OK 1 ford people is the selection of place
 for building the new city school.' con
 cluded Mr. Carter.

GOVERNMENT GETTING READY
TO FIGHT HIGH PRICES

WASHINGTON, August 14-At-
torney-General A. Mitchell Palmer
has received enthusiastic" assent
from virtually all State Food Admin
stratOrs, whom he asked for CO.
operation in the Governments eff
forts to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing.
| AT the same time he sent instruc-
tions to all District Attorneys to get
in touch with the Food Administra-
tors and to act at once on any evil
dence of law violation which might
come to light in the work of the. fair
price committees to be reconstructed
in every county.
The attention of the District At
torneys also was called to the Gun
limited availability" of the Secret
Service for any investigative work
necessary to the punishment of
hoarders and profiteers.
A development of the day was the
request by Mr.. Palmer of Secretary
David F. Houston that inspectors and
| packing houses be instructed to fur
! nish to District Attorneys upon re-
quest any information they might
have. 1t was not indicated what was
contemplated.
Living problems continued to alb
| serb much of the attention of Con-
gress. Federal supervision of the is
suance of stocks and certificates was
proposed in the Senate.
Cold storage regulation suggested
by President Wilson was taken up by
the House Agriculture Committee.
Europe's reports of foods from
this country, practicularly that pur-
chased with the $1O0,OO0,0OO fund
| which President Wilson said was
necessary to stop the westward
spread of Bolshevism, drew the fire
of Senator Henry L. Myers, who de-
clared in speech that people abroad
were buying American products
cheaper than they could be purchased
at home.
President Wilson's suggestion that
Congress could show what can be
done to control mounting prices by
remedying the extortion which it has
been charged was rampant in the Dis
trict of Columbia, resulted in the
drafting of a bill by the District
Commissioners, in conjunction with
Chairman Murdoch, of the Federal
IIdue COIuHlSSIOn, WHICH WOulQ put
under license all dealers. in food, fuel
and wearing apparel, with the license
revocable on proof of profiteering.

ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE

Recent statements appearing in the
public prints tending to indicate that
War Savings Stamps may be used as
collateral to secure loans, or for other
purposes, are erroneous, according to
a statement by L. A. Wilson, Federal
Director for the War Savings Organi-
zation for the Eighth Federal Re-
serve District.
1t is directly antagonistic to the
Federal law, says Wilson. The law
explicitly states that War Savings
Stamps are not negotiable and may
not be transferred by the holder. He
may, If necessity demands that he OBJ
tain the money he has invested in
them, give ten days notice and have
them redeemed at any postofice.
But to negotiate them through any
channel not prescribed by the Gov
eminent is prohibited.
