BIGGER PERCENT STUDYING
From present indications, col
leges, universities and high schools
in general will this year have record
breaking enrollments. This in a
manner, when on© considers thfi
great business depression, might
appear somewhat strange. On the
other hand, it can be easily under
tstood. Our young people, without
much education, are not securing
and holding the lucrative positions
they once had. Realizing this, they
are as a consequence preparing
themselves for higher education,
that will better fit them for positions
when employment conditions let up
a little. Here in our own state, the
increase in high school enrollment is
partly due no doubt to the fact that
the school attendance age has been
raised to 18 years. This, together
with the unemployment conditions,
has bepn the cause of a number of
pupils again entering high school,
after having been put for a year or
so. The pupils yjiy have cpme back
into our local school for the reason*
given $rf reentering, it seems, mo«t

that some seem really glad that
there has beeQ ffimething to call

a £fenefal awakehihg as to the real
Value of education. This is a
wholestome sign and one of the very
few good things that will come out
of the great business depression
through which we are passing.
NOT MICH CONCERNED
The gentleman who is occupy
ing the office of President of the
United States has
frankness. In a» speech at Atlantic
City, Mr. Harding admitted that he
was "not so much concerned with
those who came out of the war un
impaired." We knew it, your Ex
cellency, but it is refreshing to have
your frank acknowledgement.

Who can wonder that the citizens

However, President Harding eiill
evades the truth of the matter. He
Insinuates that the unwounded sol

he must realize it if he has giveii the

THE DISARMAMENT COMMISSION
In the naming of Secretary
Hughes, Senators Lodge and Under
wood, the President with one ex
ception (Lodge) has named able
men for the coming disarmament
conference. However, has he
named the men who would be genu
ine leaders for real disarmament?
Many, regardless of politics, have
felt that since the senate must later
pass upon the work of the confer
ence, no senator should have been
named. Be this as it may, it seems
strange that the President did not
name the senator who haa sound,
j."-r.uine convictions in the matter of.
disarmament, and that man is Sen
ator Borah. He has been a consist
ent disarmament advocate for years,
and it was he that whipped the
President into line to call the con
ference. He has had a real program
which he has not hesitated to let be
known. Lodge is a trouble maker,
and plays politics in his every action.
His caliber was shown by bis intense
hatred of President Wilson, because
Mr, WilsoQ did not take more per
sons into his confidence when fram
ing a peace treaty. Had he taken
Lodge abroad with him, all would
have been O. K. As it was, Lodge
could not coin words bitter enough
with which to assail the President.
Since Harding has'been President,
another peace treaty has been
lramed. If any difference, Harding
took fewer men into consultation
than Mr. Wiison did, still it was in
toe latter case perfectly right with

Sfcnday, Sept. 18, the Greers and

the Morgan county fair grounds and
spent a day long to be repaembered.
At noon a real picnic dinner was
served. After dinner, Dr. C. E.

order in a very able manner, and
explained the purpose and goad of
such meetings. Att'y T. E. McEl

claim Irish ancestry, were at home
with the Irish tribe. Mr. McElhiney,
desiring to know something of the
Greers, wrote to President Harding,,
asking for information. Mr. Hard
ing's reply was: "I don't know
.them they never attended, our con-1
ventions." (P. S.: Possibly ex-Presi
