Government Clothing

People of Monroe county will soon
be able to buy not only food stuffs
from the government but also cloth
ing and household commodities.
The prices on all articles will be
low as it is part of the campaign a.
eainst the high cost of living. Cata-
logs will be printed and distributed
by post.offices in the near future
setting forth the prices The goods
will be sold in army stores located
in the principle cities and the pur-
chaser will order them directly

College Life

Anxious parents are supposed
usually 10 fear that their darlings
away at college are studying too
hard. But not much "midnieht oil"
is burned over books now. The il
Elimination for the benefit Of many
students tends more to the theater
footlights just above the bald head
ed row, and the brilliant chandeliers
that hang over the wine suppers.
A father who was hesitatine re-
Gently as to which college to send
his son, recently visited one of the
more famous universities, which is
located near a large city. He learn
ed that the average student visited
the big town on an average once q
week to attend the theaters and
have hotel dinners.
This is going some, and quite a
distance from cherished ideals. Al
so quite bill for some hard work
ing parents to settle. This type Of
experience will make the gilded
youth a discriminating judge Of
high kicking and metropolitan
cookery. But it hardly creates the
intellectual leadership for which
colleges are supposed to exist. With
all that the modern college offers
in athletics and social life, it seems
inane when young men can't be
happy without so much sporting ex-
perience.
OF course in any collesel there is
always a large body of students
who quitely attend to their work.
But the rich mans son element be-
comes more prominent. College
faculties have their hands full in
winning the interest of this element
for the real things of life.
Considering the tendencies refer
red to above, college athletics are a
great blessing. They divert much
energy that otherwise would run
toward follies. Unless a boys
character is quite positively formed.
he is better off in a college having
the more secluded locations. 80 that
he is not so constantly tempted by
the enticing distractions of large
cities.

Ject tc the League?
A. Yes. This is a free country. Any.
one has right to any opinion he
chooses.
20. Why is the League go bitterly

A. Because, unfortunately, any
Treaty or League must he made by the
President, and President is chosen
by a political party and many men,

Under that plan orders were hand.

made by tax experts in New York

garding the income tax on bequests
made to Premier Lloyd George and
other Britishers seems to exist. Ii
is pointed out that if the principal
from which the annuities are paid
