f number of the members of the class
/ we're busy making the tables on the
picnic grounds most attractive. They
used the class colors, green and
white, and when their work was COM
pleted the setting was one of great
beauty. At six o'clock a supper OF
chicken salad, sandwiches, pickles,
deviled eggs, and cream and cake,
was done full justice to, and greatly
enjoyed.
I Marion Lummus, president of the
sophomore class, presided. and deliv-
cred a splendid speech of welcome to

TODAY is the beginning of a wear.

Today is the beginning OF year.
Not in our modern calendar, but in that
of the Hebrews, still universally observed
by members of that race. Like all other
Jewish festivals, it commences at sunset
of the preceding day. Orthodox Jews OBJ
serve two days, while reform Jews keep
but one
This is the first of series of holidays
among the Hebrews of all the world, which
will last nearly month. The Shofar, or
rams horn, is to be blown in every syna-
gogue and household which affords one.
Joy is the keynote of the occasion, as in the
Christian New Year.
Scattered all through the calendar of
the worlds races are various dates which
mark the years beginning. The Persians
cling to the spring equinox, the Parsis of
India to that of autumn.
In China it comes about three weeks
after our New Year Day. In AMMAN it is
the middle Of February. Thus there is
nothing worldwide in any celebration.
What does it matter when we turn the
page and start afresh, with new and bright
resolves and clean hearts? Every day
truly marks new year begun, every morn
ing sees the birth of new opportunity, if
we will but seize it. Let us by all means
celebrate our holidays as they come. But
let us never put over until fanciful date
of New Year the accomplishments for
which we long.
The world is born anew each day. To-
day is the beginning of year.

A COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN

The problem of the country doctor is
becoming increasingly serious one. Ply
sicians who are beginning their practice
hesitate to risk the inconvenience and un-
certain compensations of rural life, and
choose the more populous towns. On the
other hand, there are innumerable COM
munities in the United States where the
nearest physician is miles away, where
he cannot be reached quickly, and his visits
are expensive. The situation is intoler-
able, when life and health hang in the bal
ance.
The little town of Ihlen, Minnesota,
faced such situation, and they have
found very satisfactory solution Two
hundred people have signed an agreement
to pay physician SIP year each, and
his services have been secured. Thus the
community is assured competent medical
care, and the physician fair living. Any
person with proper respect for his
family's health would be willing to pay a
dollar month.
The public is becoming conscious of the
tremendous Importance Of health, and it
is learning that it is better to prevent sick
ness than to cure it.
The realization is also growing that a
system is wrong which gives such slow re-
turns after the time and expense spent by
a doctor in preparing for his work. The
same system gives one community too
many physicians, and leaves another with
out any.
Many large firms have already learned
the wisdom of employing company ply
sician on salary to take care of the health
of their workmen. Wise communities will
follow the same plan.

and when there is too little production to
satisfy human needs man will either wake
up and work, or succumb to the law of the
survival of the fittest. And some will sur
vive longer than others because there is in
herent in them more power to keep them
selves alive. Men may be born equal but
they are never created equal, yet may de-
velop themselves to greater equality if
they are willing to pay the price.
But men who rise pay some price or
other. 1t may be tremendous sacrifice of
time, or expenditure of effort Whichever
the case, they will do so in conformity to
natural law, and if their improved estate
be permanent in accordance with moral
law, it must be built on the solid founda-
ton of fundamental principles.

A statistician in the employ of the
railroad brotherhoods has supplied
figures showing that there has been
during the past five years an in
crease of $39,OOO,OO0 in the annual
pay of the general and divisional
railway officials, and he quite SEN
sibly maintains that the salaries of
such officials have no place in the
columns showing the aggregate
wages paid to railway labor. 1t is,
however, a vital part of the wage
problem, as it affects the ultimate
consumer, who has the extortionate
freight rates to pay. At any rate,

ayers and railway employees cannot

Willie Meehan, San Francisco
fat pug, journeyed to Fit. Worth,
Texas, last week, to engage in a
ring combat on guarantee of
$500 from the promoter. Meehan
and Fulton, his antagonist, failed to
foozle Fit. Worth fight fans and only
few turned out, so that the gate
did not provide the promoter with
enough to pay Meehan the guaran-
tee, which he required in advance,
and, failing to get the money, tore
for his hotel in huff. Willie was
some sore! Then he had visitors
the ku Klux Khan. After listening
to those grim guys Meehan decided
that he would rather return to the
arena and fight Fulton for $1,000 in
preference to doing an equestrian
barebacked act on a rail, CARRIED in
coat of tar and fathers. And,
man, he fought as only a mad and
scared pugilist can fight. Then the
Ku Klux Klan took the $1,000 purse
and gave it to charity, merely to
illustrate their contempt for Willie
Meehan. The latter party may pass
through FIT. Worth again some time,
but if he does it will be after night
or in a coffin.

Of the An. erican Manufacturers Elk

domestic mere The convention,
which opened Wednesday, will con-
tinue through Thursday.
Conditions almost everywhere show
decided Improvement" DR.. Klein de
clared. In the Orient, conditions are
better now than they have been at any
time since 1920. Japan is pulling her
self out of the slough OF economic de-
preston and business III China is get
ting better
China's recovery, he added, would be
aided as the foreign demand for that
country's products improved and. the
strain on Chinese purchasing power
IS relaxed. Australian and New Lea-
land wool and wheat a~ccumuiations are
being %liquidated at favorable prices
and imports are increasing, he as
serted.
Business is picking up in western
Europe at a rate varying in different
countries" Klein said. "Deflation has
run it's course; stocks have been re-
duced and merchants have taken their
losses; labor has taken its cut and has
shown a pronounced tendency to CO.
operate. Production, always the unda-
mental basis of economic development,
IS increasing throughout the entire
area.
.Since 1921 the balance of trade III
the United Kingdom has shown an
astonishing recovery toward its normal
status; that of France is actually show
ing an excess of exports over imports,
| while Italy's unfavorable balance has
been cut to O remarkable degree. Ger
many's financial and monetary upheav-
al has. of course, continued to retard
the establishment of her trade position.
ain eastern Europe apart from Rus
STA is in general recovering gradually
from the ravages of the war and should
offer increasing opportunities for
American trade and investments.
"At present the disturbed political
| condition in the Levant interferes seri-
ously with trade with that region al
| though it will behoove American ex-
| porters to put forth all possible effort
to hold their position IN this field as
| soon as conditions become more stable.
American trade with Latin-Ameri-
can countries for the first eight months
of the present year was s per cent
more in value than for all of the fiscal
year Of 1914. and only IA per cent
less on the same basis than for the
corresponding period of last year. when
shipments were still being made at
high prices on old contracts. Of great
and far-reaching significance is the
fact that American investment in priz
vate enterprises and in the bonds of
the governments of Latin America
have amounted to over $500, 900, 900
since the early part Of 1921"
