Men and women of America, and os-
necially YOU who are well able to buy,
YOUR country needs you-neods the
same patriotic endeavor that you gave
so freely during the war.
If the non-buying condition contin-
ues to exist, idleness will continue to
increase throughout the land.
Industry after industry will close
and want, poverty, soup houses and
bread lines will naturally follow.
And if once our country gets int
such a miserable situation it will take
a long aud weary time to get out of it
There isn't a man or woman reading
this message who cannot help to avert
the troubles we are now drifting into
by supplying themselves with the
things they need.
IF you haven't the ready cash, uss

Buy now-put your shoulders to the

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH ViNDl.
GATED,

The supreme court of Connecticut

holding and indicating the right of
free speech.

fined SEA because he expressed some
ideas that didn't conform with those
of the local authorities.
He appealed to the common pleas

Having faith in his rights as an
American citizen under the constitu-
ton of the United States, he went
10 the highest court in his state and
had his faith justified.
Incidentally, the supreme court took
occasion TO express. in no uncertain
way. it's opinion of the local courts
and other officials who act on the
theory that the way TO cure unrest is
To deny the right of free speech to
citizens.
This policy of repression was grow

war was carried 10 far greater lengths

that there be a right-abOut- face in the

The fathers who wrote the United
States constitution recognized that the
rights of free speech, free press and
free asssmblage We're the only safe
foundations, in fact the only possible
democratic institutions could be
foundations upon which enduring

In the immortal document these
rights We're guaranteed to every citi-

lenged.

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM &. BARTON
BIGGER THAN THE SUN.

We have learned the size of it, and
measured all the stars, only d few of
them; but we do know now how big is
BetelgeuN. You pronounce it Bet-el-
juz, with the accent on the last sylla-
BILE. Or perhaps You prefer to spell it
Betelgeuse, and pronounce it just the
same. Take your choice.
1t is one of the stars Of the first
magnitude. There are 90 such stars.
of which we who live north of the
equator can see IA. BetelgeuX is sew
enth in brilliancy, and is a yellowish
red star in the constellation Orion.
You know the three stars in a row
that mark the belt of Orion; there are
two stars of the first magnitude one
below the belt and the other above.
Betelgeux is the one nearer the north
star.
Find it and look at it. It varies in
but is always one of the
most brilliant of the stars. Say TO it:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How / wonder what you are
will wonder.
geux is that if it were to move as near
to us as the sun, it would appear to
us much larger than the sun. How
much larger? So much larger that at
the suns distance, it would cover the
whole face of the sky.
OF course we should not be here UNI
der those circumstances. A thousand
years or more before that time. we
should have died of warm weather
Perhaps You are able 10 imagine q
star that large: | do not think | am
I am ready to believe that some of
the large stars make our sun look
smaller than thirty cents but twinkI-
ing star that at the distance of the
sun would cover the whole sky, be-
wilders my Imagination.
Just by way of giving us something
else 10 thinl. about, the astronomers
now suggest that when they hear from
all the back counties in Campus. that
star is likely to be as much larger
than BetelgeuN as Betelgeux is larger
than the sun. But I stop at Betelgeux.
Whoever wants a star large enough to
cover the whole sky and lap over as
much as Campus, Is too greedy. Our
own little sun is good enough and big
enough fortme.

Jury Service and Its Effect On the

Women.
What do the husbands of jurywomen
think of their wives leaving home all
day TO work at the rourthouses? What
damage has been done thereby to their
happy homes? Have the fears of the
politicians, who used to predict that
woman suffrage would be the ruina-
ton of the home, been realized?
Well, some newspapers have been
interviewing the husbands of jury
questions. And the replies must be
disappointing to those who formerly
liked to prophesy that all manner of
domestic evil would flow from equal
suffrage.
The husbands of jurywomen invari-
ably report that, when they come home
from work. they find their suppers
steaming hot on the table, though
their wives have been at the court :
house all day. Their homes are Just
as clean as ever and their shirts kept
supplied with buttons
Some, however, report that public
service has improved the intellectual
outlook of their wives. They are de-
veloping topics of conversation other
than clothes and hats and cooks and
dishes
From service on juries. they are de-.
irving keener realization 6f their
responsibilities as citizens, unlike
many men to whom jury service is a
joke. Woman is serving justice a..
