Christmas is upon us. We are planning this party and that affair for the holidays. Do we consider anyone but ourselves? Do we think of others who cannot make Christmas plans?

A CHANCE FOR A REAL CHRISTMAS
There is more to Lawrence than Mount Oread and Massachusetts street with its holiday array of lights and fir trees. There is more to Christmas than store windows displaying everything that money can buy to make a happy Christmas day.
Over across the river, in North Lawrence, there are conditions existing that the student does not realize. There are children of families that are unable to supply any kind of a Christmas. Christmas to these children means nothing. What it could mean if they were to receive shoes, a coat, a wool muffler, or a sweater to wear! Like all boys and girls, they would be thrilled over their presents—if they had any.
And what is Christmas, in its true and original form, if it isn't to be celebrated by helping others? Is there any way more suitable to commemorate that day than spreading cheer and good spirit into homes where Christmas is just another day? Do not, in the dazzle of tinsel, colored lights, and selfish motives, forget that Christmas is for one who did more for us than we can ever hope to do for anyone.
THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE OWLS
Owl Society, honorary organization for junior men, is again to take its place in the list of University organizations. The society has died a slow death since it grew up its main means of survival. It was a young age and this year the group had practically expired until revived in the past few days.
One of the great charges against most universities is that they have too many organizations which have nothing to do and act as impediments to the really worth while groups. It seems that this is the case at Kannan and it is very doubtful if the Owls will be anything more than just another organization.
Honor societies are a very good thing, but there is no necessity to have one for each class. An honorary organization for seniors in addition to the regular fraternities such as Phi Beta Kappa and Tau Beta Pi, is as much as the University needs and certainly any others would merely be figure-heads.
Already there are enough organizations on the Hill to carry out any activity desired and in fact there are so many, that a number are having a hard time doing anything except holding meetings. If an organization has no definite purpose and there is no worth-while work it can do, there is certainly no justification for its existence.
There is nothing that the Owl society can do on Mount Oread. That is very clearly shown by the record of the organization for the past four years. Had there been a need for it, the organization would have never died. It is regrettable that the group of junior men will waste their time attempting to revive an organization which isn't needed.
CHRISTMAS CANDLES
With the beginning of the annual Christmas candle sale tomorrow students of the University of Kannan will again have an opportunity to carry on a beautiful tradition.
The money this year is to go into a permanent fund which will be used for loans to foreign students on our campus. These students, many of them from far lands and with few friends in the United States, find it difficult to give the necessary security to borrow through ordinary loan funds. A loan to such a student, who might otherwise have to drop out of the University, will be a lasting * of friendship.
Contributors to the fund this year will have the satisfaction of seeing it work on our own campus. Not one cent will be used for anything other than the purpose for which it is given. A Christmas candle bought this year will continue to shine long after its preservation has gone out into life, as its glass will still be cool and over again. Such a girl will touch many more lives than one which is consumed at once, in having physical necessities for the needy.
The Kanan regrets that the inspiration of teaching directly the youth in foreign lands is lost, but it regards the purpose to which it is dedicated this year as worthy of the support of the University. It is also international, because these foreign students will go back to their home hands and tell of the friendship of Americans, if we really enjoy a friendly spirit toward them.
Buy a Christmas candle and let it light shine down the years.
INSURANCE FOR MARRIED BLISS
Now that there is so much talk about companionary marriages, and like schemes, for improving the chances of a couple living together, oceans they are married, the Kauai comes forward with a plan which, if all prospective husbands will fail it, is sure to bring them a frog and prosthetic voyage on the highlands track backbound of manhatters.
We must that get at the two ransom why they want to get rid of their husbands, often before they have really given them a fair tirt After long deliberation, and much research, though not to the extent of taking a wife, we have found that the tenure when became discontented it that after they are married their husbands lie down on the job. They don't give the gift any variety.
If there is any thing a woman likes more than any other thing, it is variety. New clothes, different places to eat, distinctive knick-knacks, the women crave all of them. Before they are married, they usually get them because they can date several men thus providing variety and constant entertainment.
when the married state begins however, conditions change. No more calls for dates; no more diner with Tom, dunnes with Harry and moonlight rides with Dick. In short, no variety. Hubbard either uses a pipe or he doesn't, after day after day. He either kisses lingeringly or abruptly. He either wears a mustache or he goes smooth lipped. No variety.
The remedy is rather obvious. The boys must learn to be versatile before marrying. The young college man should go into rigorous training if he expects to take a wife. If he smokes a pipe, he must learn to inhale Camels; if he smashes baso, he must exercise his vocal chords until they will shift gears and make tenor; if he dances with a glide, he should practice the shake-knee shuffle; in addition to liking Harold Lloyd, he should cultivate a taste for Lon Chuney.
The prospective groom, then, must strive to please. When his wife tires of him he must be prepared to shake himself and behold, a new man. And they will live happily ever after.
One of our Kauas contemp-prices get eloquent in a recent edition of the benefit accruing when the residents of a town turn the deaf car to all permission of any merchants excepting those of the old home town. "Buy goods from our own merchants and manufacturers, because "You get good products."
TRADE AT HOME
Surely; the home bays say so.
"You give more work to home people."
And of course, the more work, the more people and the more people, the better town. Example—Chicago "You be build your city's industry."
Probably industries that are carried on more economically elsewhere, or why would they yell that they must have home support?
"You help build your city's instruc'tor."
"You,owe it to your city to co orerate with other citizens."
With a little co-operation your home
merchant can buy a new straight
sight.
"You earn your money here and should spend it here."
Ask your home merchant or manufacurer where he spends the money you spend with him.
"You help build a better city." It is an optimistic view that the home merchant will spend his profit to build a better city. Wonder if he might not want to build a better bank account."
"You will advance me your city advances."
Oh, surely. The Irish in New York need to be polish, but they bought it brass and now they are polishicans. They can't work with me; do more work in your own city."
Oh, necessarily. A dollar spent in Kansas is worth two Missouri dollars, any time.
"You will feel better."
If you feel better, you probably will live longer, and can trade longer with your home friends.
"You can face your local merchant without finishing."
You don't enter a cost from "Mon day"
Ward's and have to walk it
it for a month.
"You can prove that you are a royal citizen in your own city." Yes, we be local to your home town, even if taxes are收取 ten per cent a year, as they are in Lawrence.
We have powerfully left the two practical reasons given for trading in home illum, the last, as no one to associate them with the mass of Character of Commerce publicity given above. They are you get quick service or deliveries, and you get fresh products. If to these two reasons could be added a third, you get the products for a lower price, or just in low a price, there would be no need for further arguments for home trade. Fortunately these three reasons can usually be applied and supported with facts.
There is no need for hatching an applet of stuff no one can swallow whole about working the home dollar at home, and building a better city.

But the latest wrinkle in the complex is the thrill-seeking girl who acts as a lure for the prohibition agent. The young "dupper" as the newspaper termer her, walks down the main street, gives the "pick-up" sign to a prosperous looking "sheik" in a big car, and then goes for a ride. After riding a few blocks she has her escort to get her a little drink." They then go to his favorite "speakeys" and the prohibition officers do the rest. And that's that. The young women do not argue that they are helping to
that that's that. The young women do not argue that they are helping to rid their country of a gross evil; they
do not argue it from either an ethical or a pathetic point of view. They natively state that they do it for the thrill.
And as he has been said, more than must stand uppeace and marveling before the workings of the feminine mind. (p. 34)
