Tearman was told, and together, they matted." - Matthew 10:14. Last year the initial Christmas tree at the University of Kansas weathered the test of criticism and probabilities of failure. It was a decided success. The candies that burned upon it were symbolic of the relief and happiness it brought to hundreds of suffering, starving students in foreign lands. The tree was a message to our fellow students that their welfare is our interest, and this message has been answered by the painting of one sufferer in which he places the Heart of America at Lawrence. Your duty lies in the purchase of these messengers of relief. The tiny red Friendship Candles are waiting to carry your word of hope and sympathy to students across the Atlantic who are bravely struggling to keep the light of hope burning. Do not fail them. There can be no doubt of the sincerity and true charity of this effort to help. It has been proved to the most skeptical. Tomorrow and Wednesday we send forth another message of help and understanding to struggling Europe. The guard house at Camp Funston has been sold, steel bars and all for $60; but the dear memory that some soldiers have of this building could probably he bought much cheaper. SECRET DIPLOMACY Secret diplomacy has won in the Near East and today the world is watching the tragedy being enacted there. Millions are starving—the fruit of the schemes of statement and the conclusion of conferences. The world is askow how facts have been concealed. Selfish interests of World Powers, aided by censorship and propaganda, have perverted the facts in the Near East situation. That "where there is no vision the people perish" is being too vividly illustrated in the Near East. And yet if the world could have torn aside the cloak of secrecy in 1918-1920 the lives of $n$ million persons might have been saved. But the international situation was voided in obscurities and the cost was this sacrifice of lives. The secret treaties, applied, had had their chance and failed. They have brought nothing to any one of the covetous European powers that its own people would not gladdly now have surrendered. The apparent gains have proved to be only real losses and tragedy. The Graco-Turkish War, the Lausanne Conference, or the disruption of allied co-operation in the Near East would never have taken place if the diplomatic arrangements had not been kept secret. The world today looks upon the tragic and tremendous events that threaten to wreck civilization, all because of secret diplomacy. BROTHERLY LOVE It is indeed gratifying to know that the students on the hill are not so wrapped up in their own affairs that they do not have time to think of the other fellow. This has been beautifully illustrated in the past week. By conceded action on the part of organization houses in leaving their doors unlocked and their windows open, some poor "victim of society" has been helped to help himself to a "stake" by means of which he will be able to regain his self-respect. Although thus far only a few houses have given to this worthy cause, it is understood that the latestings of many others are out and goodly donations will be nightly spread for the visitor. The time will soon come when they too will have the privilege of "siving until it hurts." Let the calamity howlers come to Lawrence. They will find that here at least the spirit of mutual helpfulness prevails. No doubt most of the kids will want to move to Rapa, where it is said jam, candy, and oranges are legal tender. CONSERVATION IN MEXICO Americans like to think of Mexicans as imprisoned and shiffless, with no thought as to the future providing they have enough to eat today. But Mexico's recent action in stopping the waste of natural gas, points the way toward a course that might well be followed by the United States. The Mexican government has notified all producers of petroleum that the natural gas which is now escaping from wells must be conserved. It further ordered that the gas shall be utilized either for fuel or the flow shut off and provided a heavy penalty in the form of a tax for each cube fat of gas wasted. Our Southern neighbors will soon be in a position to wonder how a country with the seemingly limited supply of natural wealth can be so wasteful. Americans have destroyed to a great extent their timber and have worn out the soil, and taking no warning from these, seem bent upon using and losing their petroleum supply as quickly as possible. No matter who you are, where you are, or how you look or dress, your every day use of the English language revels you as you really are. Plain Tales From The Hill Admiring Co-ed to tail Pre-medic How much do you weigh? unno how to tell. P-M: I never have been able to tell for sure—I have to learn so far back to see the dual that half my weight's off the scales. Geology, Prof—Mr. Scott, what is the largest diamond known? Scott-Would you count the joker, professor? It's too bad that the nights are getting colder. The Mt. Orr house footers might be inconvenienced in their work. Even freshman girls show along what lines their minds run. In a recent psychology test on girl when she was a baby, “purity” save the word “carelessness.” Instructor—One cannot collide with a stationary object. Don't say "He collied with the lamp post." Mac, at band rehearsal: "Don't play that ballet so fast; a lady couldn't shake her amourbore." Dright One—There are times when a lamp post is not a stationary object. Dean Tempkin—"The soldier who spends his time taking care of himself will get shot in the back." Students who have not returned the books of Admiration Crichton, will return them to the office of the Draughtsman—necessarily—Cicle Burie, instructor.

So is the store that sells you shoes, your grocer, your clothier and every concern or person who makes or sells anything you buy. Often these people have messages for you. They want to tell you about new goods, new styles, new prices or other new things they think you should know about. They can't speak to you personally because they have so many customers to serve. So they put their messages in the newspaper in the form of advertisements. It is to your interest to read the advertisements. They are published for your benefit. They keep you informed as to what these folks are doing for you. They help you buy the right goods at the right time and to make the most of your money. Moreover, you'll find that business concerns that tell you frankly what they are doing are the most dependable. Stores that advertise are progressive stores that have something real to say to you. Manufacturers who advertise their products have confidence in them, because is does not pay to advertise anything that is not good. Reading advertisements is both interesting and profitable
