LADY NICOTINE BARRED AT

James r. Day.
Under the edict students are prohibit
ed from smoking cigarettes. cigars or
pipes on the university grounds or in the

The Chancellor attacks the tobacco
habit generally in an open letter not
only to the students but faculty mem
bers as well and declares that 1t Is his
duty to enforce strictly the long stand
ing rule One of the chief reasons he
gives is that smoking increases the fire
risks and he cites instances Of fires at
the university traceable to cigarettes.
1T is strange that these things have

Chancellor says Smoking is certainly
not needed as a sedative TO young
man Of Is to is. l do not believe the
doctor prescribes II as tonic. IL Is
foolish habit on which he wastes his
money and makes himself nuisance
10 many people 10 whom this particular
form OF smoking is exceedingly offen-
siye.
There seems TO be a tendency TO make
some concessions TO young men coming
back from the war. because OF the eN-
tremely unwise practice adopted by the
Christian Association and excused by
that spirit within us all OF doing all we
could TO meet the demands Of habits
formed under terrible experiences as the

Farm Workers.
Objected to Reapers
and Moving Machines

remember very we'll when the
reaper and moving machine took
the place of the cradle and the
scythe back on the farm where /
worked in the good old summer
time, and thereby stored up the
health that has stood by me all
these years.
Every farm hand in Monro
County, Penn, said: "That settles
my getting any work during TIE
harvesting and haying season"
But it did not do any such thing
New inventions make more, in
stead of less work, besides helping
us to live more comfortably.
Capital backed the reaper and the
moving machine, and made more
capital for tie farmers and gave
them and their fellow-workers g
happier existence.
Could farmers supply the worlds
needs without tie modern ma
chinery they use? Certainly not.
How many thousands Of workers,
all receiving good wages, are en-
ployed on the farms now?
How many millions of acres are
now titled that could not have been
titled if old ways were in vogue
today?
What every worker will do some
day will be to lay aside some of the
money he earns and seek safe ways
in which to invest it, AND THAT
DAY SHOULD BE TODAYi He
will want to own an interest in
the enterprises that constantly seek,
create and get the new things that
make the world grow and prosper.
