Union College Notes

DR.. Gray visited the College
Freshman English Class Satur-
day afternoon and gave them q
talk on methods of becoming a
good public speaker. The class
learned that the first essential is
to want to be good speaker; the
second is to have q real message
that you want to give to others.
There is a movement on foot to
organize the school into two lit
erary societies. This will give
each student a chance to do his
best along lines Of public per-
furmance.
The students are having good
times at their bi-weekly socials
in the parlor of Speed Hall.
Last Saturday night was one of
the joIliest ever.
The Serenading party that WIS.,
tied Speed Hall Monday night
was greatly Appreciated by the
Hall dwellers. Judging from the
music rendered and the quality
of the singing. the choral classes
this year should have the heav-
lest support of the Young men.
The Junior Academy Class
held their first meeting Saturday
and the officers elected were
Cheslie Franklin, President and
Violet Humheet Secretary and
Treasurer.

it's place in the Kentucky con-

EIGHTH DISTRICT EXCEEDS QUOTA IN
 CERTIFICATE SALE
KENTUCKY WINS FIRST HoNoRs AND SELLS MORE THAN HUN
 DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
S5OO,OO0 DURING SEPTEMBER
People Are Awakening to Value of These New U. S. Securities That
 Are Absolutely Safe.

In an impromptu selling campaign Kentucky carried off first honors in the Eighth Federal Reserve District by disposing of S105, 400 in Treasury Savings Certificates, selling nearly 50 per cent of the quota fixed for the en- tire district.
 There was no preliminary movement to pave the way for the campaign that ended August 31 The mere announce ment was made that it was desired to sell S250,000 of the certificates during the two weeks
 A quota of S66.5o0 was fixed for each state-Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky, and s50,000 for the city f St. Louis, which comprises the St. Louis Metropolitan District.
 The total subscriptions accepted by the Federal Reserve District was s322,- 500. and the subscriptions received after noon Tuesday would largely have exceeded this figure could the orders have seen flled. But the eer- tifcates for August were priced at SS3s and any order that was received after noon on Tuesday. September 2. at the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis could only have been accepted at the September price And then it must be shown that the purchase was made in August, and the order mailed during the month. if the order could be filled at the August price.
 So satisfactory was the result of the sale that Federal Director Wilson has decided for another selling campaign this month. The quota this month Is just double that of the August quota, and it Is planned to sell s500,000.
 Reports from the first day of Sep tember selling are most encouraging, and the indications are that the quota will be largely exceeded
 The new form Treasury Savings Certificates are the most attractive securities yet issued by the U. S. government. They are in denomina- tions of s100 and yl,000. and draw in terest at the rate of per cent, con- pounded quarterly.
