ONE DAY IN SUMMER.
This singing summertime has never
With afternoons all gold and dust and
f fire.
Ard windy trees blown silver in the
sun,
The lights Ct earth, her music and de-
sire;
But day by day and hour by lighted
hour,
Sometime beyond the summer earth
and sky
Burns through the passion of world
in flower,
Some ghcstly sense Of lqTersthrong-
ing by.
And have thought upon this windy
hill,
Where bends and sways the long.
dream-troubled grass,
That may know the heartbeat, ten

Of gone, forgotten lovers where they
pass,
Their 1--we, too long for one brief life
to hold,
Beating and burning through this dust
and gold.

CONTEST ATTRACTING MANY.
The Stars Spelling Contest Brings
 Response--Some Mistakes.

A number of subscribers have sent in their list of the words formed from the word "Mineralogy," and it is sur prising the number of words that can be made from the one word. Some who have sent in their lists have dis regarded the rules, which state that a letter can be used only once in each word, that is, the same letter cannot be used twice in the same word, as for example, the word "all" was sent in. This cannot count, as it has two 'Ts,' 7 while there is inly one "l' in the word mineraiogy. Some have sent in pro per names, using names of towns, persons, etc, which cannot be used, as proper names are not allowed. Read the rules carefully, and then make out your list.
 The Stars judges will use Webster's International dictionary as authority on the spelling of the words.
 The contest does not close until February 15, so there is yet time to make out your list. Prizes will be awarded, and names of winners pub lished as soon after the contest closes as possible. The contest is open to anyone, anywhere, the only ruling be- ing that the list must be accompanied by a new or renewal subscription to the Weekly Star at the subscription zone, and $2.00 per year outside the rate of $1.50 per year in the first first zone

EkRLHAM STUDENTS

as America fit?" was the keynote
of the address given by DR.. Winfield
Scott Hail OF Northwestern uniyer-
sity, before the Earlham students at
chapel Monday morning. I'VE may
derive a little cold comfort from the
fact that we are filter than the other
nations. but that is not enough" said
DR.. Hall in answering his own ques-
ton.
DR.. Hall emphasized the importance
that the American nation occupies in
the world today. Did you know that
American manhood and womanhood
had been handed the torch of civiliza-
tion?" he queried. For, he stated,
American youth did not suffer from
the effects of the war as did the young
people of other nations.
The present conference at Washing
ton was referred to by DR.. Hall as an
example of the way in which the ma
tons of the world are looking to the
United States.
