BaccaIaureate Service

One of the events of the year is
the Baccalaureate service the Sum
day before Commencement. This
year was not an exception. The
Junior class under Mrs. L. Sloan,
decorated the church most beautis
fully in asparagus and tulips Mrs.
C. j. Dam sang a solo and a
double quartet consisting of Mrs:
Earl Jones, Mrs. C. j. Dam, Mrs.
H. Clark, Miss Irma Mowery, Har-
old Willmsen, Carroll Harding,
Doyle Mowery and Lester Stoops
sang a beautiful anthem. The
church was crowded. Rev. E. M.
Hilbert had for his theme World
Builders, . citing Lincoln and
Franklin, who had built for the
world, he gave the rule of dill
gence and consistency as the one
to be followed.
Read good books while others
are idle, read. In order to be world
builders you must know your own
weaknesses as well as power. Look
well to the sources of your prepa-
rations. Remember to include the
Bible. Use every talent you have.
Press them to their utmost EN-
ployment Thus urging the grad
yates to use their God given tai
ents for world building and speak
ing of the crying need of the
world for honest workers and con-
structive thinkers, Rev. Filbert5
concluded with these words: "The
World worth living in is the, one
where each lives for all and all
live for God. Lower aims are sell
fish," In closing let me anticipate
that you will contribute your share
to world building and that you will
so conduct yourselves and do your
share that you will be an honor to
yourself and to your parents, to
your community and to the teach
ers under whose instruction you
have BEEN"

At the close of the service Sun
day evening forty guests adjourn
ed to the high school where two
class rooms had been arranged for
the banquet of the juniors to the

ed most beautifully. Ten card

WEATHER PROVES AID
TO CLOTHING SALES
Holiday Crowds Make Numerous
Purchases, but Dollar Volume
Is Below Last Year.
SneciaI Disnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December l6-EXtreme
ly cold weather in many sections of the
country this week caused a quickened
demand for all types of Winter-weight
clothing. Sales of knit goods. sweaters,
rubber footwear and furs made the
best showing in many weeks.
Christmas crowds are buying now,
rather than merely looking as they
were week or 10 days ago, but reports
from 55 centers throughout the country
to Bradstreets today indicate a decline
in excess of seasonal requirements
which is in the face of vigorous efforts
of the merchants to maintain volume
through special sales which virtually
sacrifice profit 1nargin.."
The holiday crowds are spending. but
the lower prices make it difficult for
stores to keep up dollar volume near
last years level Wearing apparel and
seasonal merchandise are moving. and
millinery. notions, rugs. furniture and
home furnishings are showing smaller
sales declines than departments featur-
ing gifts exclusively. Demand for toys
and luxury gifts in many sections,
however. is not up to expectations.
The brisk demand for Winter cloth
ing was felt by the wholesale houses
here as they booked rush and refill or
ders for heavy dresses, sweaters and
heavyweight underwear. Most retailers,
after several disappointing seasons,
bought SO sparingly even for the holi-
day trade that any little buying furry
brings a flock of kilograms to whole
salers and manufacturers.

NEW YORK. December 16.-Stressing
the point that Canada is among the
few nations in the world promptly
meeting every obligation, both inter
nally and externally. speakers at the
annual meeting Of the Bank OF MCnt-
real this week expressed confidence in
Canada and its future. At the same
time the president Sir Charles Cor

naming it as Canadas most serious
problem.
Expressing stern opposition to cur
rency imitation. Sir Charles said. If
there is one fact in finance more firmly
fixed than another. it is the certainty
that the unrestricted issue of paper
currency eliminates in disaster.
may point out, moreover. that we in
Canada do not suffer from inadequate
credit or inadequate currency. Trade

a degree where much less currency

duct Our banks welcome borrowers

Wishes For A Million

If I only knew where ! could get a million dollars, I'd try it. sighed one aspirant not long ago.
 That may sound like an extrava- gant wish, but in other times it would have been easy During ths flush years, almost anyone with z national reputation could find a sponsor willing to gamble million on him, for real stakes.
 It is safe to say that some of those who eventually landed in the White House probably never would have made a serious campaign f they had had a raise funds under present conditions.
 The parties themselves are feel ing the pinch terribly. The Repub- lican treasury is empty, and the Democrats are far in the hole
 That is why money talked so loudly in taking both national con- ventions to Chicago. The Hoover Republicans really wanted to go to Cleveland. The Roosevelt Demo- crats, and some other Democrats, really wanted to go to Kansas City
 But in both cases Chicago said it with the biggest bonus check, and Chicago it was, with cheers :
