If when you open your right eye you

THE BROADER FELLOWSHIP

Once we were content with the
history OF our own country OF
our own racial group. Whatever
we learned about other nations
we learned because at some time
cor other our crowd had clashed
with their crowd. There had
been war or trade rivalry perhaps.
1t had reached a certain crisis.
This crisis affected the develop
ment of our own land. SO We
studied the stranger because he
had touched our destinieS al some
point.
Because We had gone to war
with Mexico and had taken some
land from her we briefly looked

with whom we had our first war.
we took longer look But the
point is that most history. the
kind taught in the public schools
and the kind in which the average
man was interested. was purely
national in its point OF view. The
rest Of the world was largely ig-
nored except by learned special
lists.
But now something better
than vague sense OF unity and
brotherhood is being born. We
are conceiving OF ourselves OF our
nation, as a part OF an organic
whole. The whole history of
mankind belongs TO Us. We share

"SHOP AT HONE"

At this season OF the year, with
Christmas rapidly approaching.
we are all naturally inspired with
the holiday spirit and are either
purchasing or considering just
what gifts to purchase for or
respective families and friends. Il
is therefore fitting that we pause
awhile and determine Just what
sort of present we are gong TO
give TO our very good friends. the
Merchants of Annapolis. Day by
dav. throughout the year. these
men have catered to our trade and
have supplied us with the articles
needed i'll our everyday life. and
now we have an opportunity OF
showing our appreciation. and
can do so by giving them orr

Aside from appreciation. We
owe them this is a matter OF sim
pic Justice. The merchants OF the
city, relying upon our patronage.
have taken the necessary steps to
supply us with the things we de-
sire. both for ourselves and As

stores with an assortment OF
Christmas goods. atIa heavy OK

them they will face financial
losses This would not only be
serious to them but also 10 the
city. and indirectly to ourselves.
In residential city which has no
large Factories, such A. ours. the
various citizens are. To no small
extent. dependent upon one an
other. The activities of the var
iouS business and professional
men are so closely interviewer
that the condition of anyone of
them is reflected throughout the
entire group iii various degrees.
Therefore, financial depression or
prosperity in any one line OF en-
deavor speedily makes itself felt
throughout the city. With this
in view. the necessity OF our citi-
zens patronizing the local bust
ness houses and thereby keeping
their money in their i Home City
should be readily apparent. Vt

More than that. it stimulates a

INVENTOR or VANE UNKNOWN

The origin Of the weather vane Is

We are linked by invisible threads

The absence Of Miss Arm6cld, who
is the center halfback, will be felt con

tender in hockey, will be used at right
half. Miss Gaskill will protect the
goal.
The Philadelphia girls also Will be
handicapped, as Miss Ella Reed, the
left fullback, and an exceedingly hcady
and clever player, is nursing a broken
finger. The substitute for the position
has not been named as yet, but prob.
ably will be picked after practice today
at the Merton Cricket Club.
a large crowd is expected out at the
match Saturday. The country club Is
easily reached by Park trOlleys to
Woodside and this convenience, to-
