c. McCracken, locel manager of Swift

the demand is for the larger breeds Of
poultry, which can be most econom-
ically used on the table.
Producers make big mistake in
dcvoting their time and attention to
the production of small types, such as
Italian breeds, as the chief demand
today is for the all-purpose bird, and
the larger breeds, such as Barred and
Plymouth locks, Rhoje Island Reds
Wyandottcs, Oipingtons, which COM
mand higher price, either alive or
dressed, and when properly house F.!

themselves in the production Of eggs.
Mr.. McCrackcn continued, "While
lower prices have generally prevailed
on the smaller breeds of poultry, it is
expected that tie difference will be
more marked this year, and now that
the Matching sa on is near at hand
suggest that producers carefully con

offers the soldier his option of the five
following divisions for compensation:
CD Adjusted pay for the term of
service put in; (2) paid-up 20-year
insurance policy; CD expenses paid
for course in vocational training;
(4) a loan for the purchase of a farm
or home; (5) application Of mans
adjusted pay on the purchase of gov
ernment improved land.
The adjusted pay is to be set at the
rate of Sl.00 day FOR home service
and $l.25 a day for service overseas.
The face value of the life insurance
policy offered is to be 3.3S times the
amount that would be received by the
same man as adjusted pay. His vo-
cational training aid or farm or home
loan would be 140 per cent of what
he would receive in cash
All back claims against the govern
ment are likewise to be centered in

get his $50 bonus on discharge he is

MOO AND ALBION

Ion depends not only upon the indi

the past. SO standing on the funda
mentals # the past, we should take
interest n the present.
Miss Maxine Mcbride, Of Hope
spoke on Backgrounds" she citeo
various backgrounds Of life, ano
pointed out the master workers Of the
ages. In the world war. the mastei
worker was the man Of the trenches
for he gave his life for the principle
of democracy and brotherhood. Love
and service aIe the only true stand
ards of life, and this should form the
setting for our life.
The Challenge If the Twentieth
Century" was the oration given by
Miss Florence Larson Of Michigan
State Normal. This took up the theme
Of service. 1t is mans mission in life
to serve God and Humanity. Nations
should have the same attitude, for
they are no longer isolated, they are
parts Of a whole. There are two
types Of man, one of service, and one
of gain. Service can be instiled in
the hearts of the young, through the
educational systems Of the country.
With concerted service, America may
assume the role Of Good Samaritan to
the world.

Only seven orations were given in

Michigan State Normal being i'll. In
this contest Hope College won second
honors and Kalamazoo College, third.
The program was opened by Sc
lection from "The Rose Maiden" +"
well given by the Alma College Chof-
us under the direction Of Prof Beau
sang. The Chorus showed the re-
suits Of intensive practice on the
part Of the students and the painstak-
ing efforts which characterizes the
excellent work Of Prof. Beausang.
Mr. Harry Laity Of Albion College

ton, "Our Debt of Honor" in such

which is vital to the mind OF every
fair-minded American citizen--the
problem Of the World War veteran.
Mr.. L.aity brought out that the tragic
condition OF our returned soldiers Is
caused by our lack Of regard for our
national debt Of honor. The red
tape Of the three ORG anizations
which took the matter in hand was
in a measure Strengthened out by the

laws to protect our industries; why
not do the same to protect our peo-
pie?
An excellent oration, americas :
Alternative was presented by Mr..
Ralph Krout, Of Adrian College. The
speaker brought out that in spite Of
the fact that three years nave passed
since the end Of the great conflict,
jealousy and hatred are still under
current in the world today. Amer
lea stands with a choice Of two roads
before her Either we can take the
road Of preparedness, which newt
ably ends in war, or we can choose
the unblazcd trail which will end in
universal peace. Ruthlessness and
the effects OF war threaten to under
mine civilization because the instinct
Of war is in the human race. The
mad race Of armament has been halt
cd by a new outlook of the world.
Preparedness cannot ENSURE peace !;
if nation prepares for war, the war
will come. Shall we ignore the sac
riiice Of our men; shall we stand by
and see them tramplcd in the mire
Of another world conflict. The key
note to peace is harmony; disarma-
ment must be worldwide to insure
permanent peace A change is COM
ing to the history Of humanity. We
must choose one Of two ways: the
path of suspicion and distrust, or the
path Of world fellowship.
A very appropriate subject was
discussed in thc oration of Mr.. Louis
lie MieuX, Of Olivet College, entitled
"A Challenge to Modern Education" ="
He told us that the modern educators
must take it upon themselves to solve
the world problems. But as long as
the causes exist there will be wars
Mr.. Mieux showed that there were
four conditions which cause wars:
/. Lack Of mutual and sincere love.
?. Contempt Of authority.
3. Imposition Of nations.
4. Lust Of material welfare
High thinking and right living
alone can bring real riches and hap
piness. High ideals in education will
lessen the chances Of war. Man
Graves the truth; why not encourage
il in the children. Material facts
must be considered but why not con-
slider cultural education so that the
unseen truth of the world may be
made clear and real happiness may
be found.
