them. He is like one with ball and
chain to his leg, he can not be his
own master. Others dictate or inter-
fere with his plans. Like dog with
a block, he is kept within certain
bounds, and his locomotion is very
slow, but he has to keep moving to
get there at all and at the end of the
year he finds that buckle and tongue
wont meet.
He doesn't have time to sit down
and think and plan. There may be
shaded spots along the way, but only
the man free from debt may find and
enjoy the shady places in life. Debt
is not only sh&ckle, quicksand,
but it is an eating cancer.
1t ruins the disposition, produces
despair, eats away life itself. This
disease, this cancer, not only eats
away the energy and the brain, but
it polutes the atmosphere of your
home, places the red placard of pes
thence beside your doorway, throws
a shadow about your freside, and
always finds you fiat on your back
when opportunity knocks at your
door. 1t has ruined many good man
and blighted many homes.
Debt is not only a nightmare, a
cancer, a shackle to your feet, but
it is a horse-leach sucking the very
life blood from the home. 1t is a
singing adder a biting serpent.
If you must go in debt, whatever
you do don't strain your credit.
Stop. LOON, listen! young men, l
am not talking through my hat. What
l am writing is from personal ex-
perience and observation. If you will
take this advice is will do you good.

Berliner Holds Divorce Record

Berlin, Nov. IA Berliner holds
what is probably the worlds record
for matrimonial bravery. This is
proven by Prof. Silbergleit in the
statistical yearbook for Berlin just
issued.
This particular citizen of Berlin
has been divorced several times and
has recently taken his ninth bride
to the altar.
One man has had eight wives, one
his sixth, two their fifth wives, ac-
cording to the statistics. In each case
the men avoided picking widows,
real or grass, insisting on marrying
women who have never been mar
ried. \
Another side of Berlin's sociologi-
cal condition is revealed by the stat
istical yearbook. During the war CIV
en- figures show that there were SIX
teen unwed mothers. under fifteen
years of age, fifty-one under sixteen
wears and 1877 under seventeen
wears. The total proportion Of un.
married mothers below the ages OF
twenty to those that were married IN
the period between 1914 and l9li
was 1887 to 1,484.
In 1913 there were 1887 women
under control for their morals by
the police. In 1918 the number had
increased to 6,093.

League Of Nations Assemblies.

Monday was momentous day, in
sernaticnally speaking. The first ses-
sion of the League of Nations as
sembled in Geneva on that day. For
5y-two nations sent representatives
and fifteen others are asking for ad-
mission. The United States, along
with Russia and Germany, will not
be represented. We hope the Ameri-
can people will not be judged by the
company we are keeping. .
But for politics "Uncle Sam"
would occupy a seat at or near the
head of the table. Call it what you
may, Heaven knows that something
is needed to preclude the possibility
of another world confagration. The
League of Nations in its initial form
may not be, in fact is not, perfect,
but it could be added to and taken
from until an international bulwork
would have been raised around every
nation, the weak as we'll as the
strong.

Be A Man.

am going to give some advice to
the young men of the county. To be
man is to walk in the steps of the
blessed Christ and to help some poor,
struggling soul toward heaven. Try
to be man and see how much good
you can do, how many tears you can
dry, how many wounds you can heal,
how many broken hearts you can
bind up, how many of the poor you
can help. That will increase your own
happiness and will help others.
Let us not continue to cry hard
times. There is lot of crying done
ahead of time. We. love the man with
roses on his tongue, the man whose
voice is full of the music of the birds,
the man who can hunt birds without
gun, whose handshake is an inspi-
ration and a benediction to every
one whom he chances to meet. 1t is
like sunbeam on the mountain side,
that vanishes when a cloud of sor-
row or untruth overshadows, it is the
loving hand maiden down in the val
lev of sorrow when the sharp strings
of injustice persecute and where
prosperity may fail to find it's way.
So let us stop complaining of hard
times, and thank the good Lord for
the many blessings received from
His hand this year of grace. And let
US ask for grace, faith and patience,
that we may be able to meet every
issue as they come to US.
Let us look out on the great book
of nature and Nenjoy the beauties OF
the forest this fall season and be
happy:
body ought to bathe in it. All this
rust of life ought to be secured off
by the ale of mirth, it is better than
energy. Every man should rub him
self with it. One without mirth is
like a wagon without springs, to be
iolted by every pebble over which it
runs.
But above all, keep out of debt.
1t is the bedrock on which to build.
You are out on the sea of life, each
one must be his own, captain, exam
inc your chart and see that your COM
pass points in the right direction in
order to round up a successful busi-
ness life. Now let US stop for mo-
ment and just think what debt is,
and what it means in the end, and
you may better understand what this
advice is worth to you.
Debt is worse than cyclones, flood
or fire. 1t is a ghost that will not
sit down, but will sit upon your bed
post as night mare that will rob
you of sweet sleep. 1t is shackle to
your energy. 1t holds man to the
spot when the golden opportunity is
but a step away. 1t keeps a fellow
with his nose to the grindstone.
There may be flowers along his path
way, but his arm is too short to reach

College Hazing Under Ban.

While it may never be stamped out
altogether, yet public sentiment
against college hazing steadily grows
stronger. College authorities are
dealing with those who practice haz-
ing with less leniency than formerly
also. Secretary of the Navy Daniels
who has way of striking at the very
heart of things has gone on record
as being unalterably opposed to haz-
ing. Recently in speaking of hazlng
in the Naval Academy, Mr.. Daniels
said:
eff they put a few hazers in the
penitentiary it would be fine exam
pie for other would-be hazers. In
structions to the superintendent of
the naval academy have been to show
20 compassion in dealing with hazers.
If a cadet was found guilty beyond
doubt he was to be summarily dis
missed. There will be no liberation
whatever to hazing at the, institu-
tion.
"The United States is spending too
much money on these students to al
low them to violate the rules. There
are too many young men anxious to
come to Annapolis to bother with
those who disregard the regula-
tions."
Money Does No: Make Happiness.
No, when you see man with his
hands in his pockets these mornings
he is not protecting his money from
pick-pockets. Precious few of US have
any money in our jeans just now.
But we can be happy anyhow. Money
does not make a fellow happy. We
