pranized influence for good, an institution within our own midst where boys atad girls may obtain a good education at reasonable cost. The sum of money needed by the institution should be raised here in quick order. Earlham's development ought not to "be hampered by the lack of a few hundred thousand dollars that can be raised quickly and without entailing hardship on anyone. , ,;..

The Earlham College Endowment 1 - Earlham college has been an integral part of Bor community life for many years. Hundreds of young men and women from this city have enjoyed its educational offerings, completing courses that granted them diplomas or, attending classes for two or three years. Earlham's development as an educational institution has been along sound and conservative lines.' Quality has been the aim of the head3 of the institution. AncT it is gratifying to know that the college ranks among the best of the small colleges in the Middle West. The institution has not escaped financial worries and troubles. Even the big universities

have been hard pressed in the last four years to pay expenses from the tuition and endowment funds, the only two sources of revenue an educational institution has. To prevent annual deficits and put the college on a sound financial basis, a campaign to raise $500,000 is under way at Earlham. Richmond will be asked to contribute generously. Besides the material advantage of having a college in its confines, Earlham spending about $300,000 here annually, the presence of an educational institution has cultural aspects of the highest order. The college is a force for good in our own community which few of us estimate

rightly and appreciate fully. j If we had no college and an offer of locating ; an institution here were made, unquestionably

: By the same token an institution, fully organr ized for many years, executing it3 mission faithfully and successfully through the decades, with many illustrious men numbered among its gradu- ; ates, should receive encouragement and support : to ease its financial worries and troubles. Earlt ham college is a going concern, an asset to our community, an advertisement of our city, an or-

Closing the MOton Bank Investigation of the condition of the Farmers' Banking company at Milton has not progressed far enough to warrant the fixing of blame, but it seems that the irregularities are of long standing and should have been caught by the state banking department.

It is almost inconceivable that between $75,000 and $100,000 of the bank's resources should have disappeared within a few months. Nothing has been disclosed to show that a suddenly inspired thought led to the appropriation or spending of a huge sum at one time or within a comparatively short time. If the investigation by the receiver discloses that the books were in had condition for a long

time, one may inquire with propriety about the worth of the examinations periodically made by the state department. If these examinations were only superficial, the state banking department will lay itself open to criticisms for not guarding the interests of the stockholders and depositors. The latter are protected in this instance, because the stockholders will make good their losses. The faith of the public, however, is shaken every time a financial institution is forced to close its doors, and depositors in and about Milton will not be immune to this feeling. Examinations of financial institutions are fu

tile if they do not succeed in preventing condi

tions such as existed in the Milton institution. The records of the bank are in a chaotic condition, reports say, suggesting again the possibility of inadequate examination by the state de

partment. Developments may soon tell exactly how the institution was wrecked, and the explanation may exonerate the department from any implied criticisms of its methods of examination. But the question of how the cashier succeeded in hiding his irregularities for many months will not down until this report is made.

Phelactine, New Wonder Worker for Hair Growths Causes Even the Roots to Come Out

By an entirely new and perfectly harmless method, any woman afflicted with a growth of superfluous hair can now remove the disfigurement completely roots included in just a few seconds. Isn't that glorious news? The recently discovered phelactine process is altogether different from electrical, depilatory and other methods heretofore employed for the purpose. It is the only thing that enables one to remove roots and all in one's own home without expert assistance. The result cannot be doubted, for the user sees the hair-roots with her own eyes. A stick of phelactine, with simple instructions, can be procured at any drug store. It is odorless, non-irritating, non-poisonous (a child could eat it without Injury). The method is so thorough that the skin is left perfectly smooth and hairless, bearing not the least evidence of its former blemish. Advertisement.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

I T.HE UPWARD CLIMB Take the upward climb, Boy! It's the hardest one, I know, and your feet will get sore and your back will ache and your heart will thump and the water will roll off your head and down your chest in little rivers. But take it, Boy take it! Your friends will tell you to "cut it cut" and to come and play and leave your work that there will be "plenty of time to do it later". But don't you mind them, Boy, don't you mind -them. Sometimes you will get very tired -climbing all alone, Boy. And when the day is done, you will not think that you have gone very far. But the years will tell you that you did. And years never lie. And as you climb, keep looking up to the top, Boy. Pay no attention to the cries o those below you, who seem to be having such a good time. The day will

come when most of them will envy you and wish that they too had climbed. And many of them will be hungry when you will have plenty. So take the upward climb, Boy the upward climb. But as you climb, Boy, play the game square. Encourage those about you who seem weaker, remembering that "he climbs highest who helps another up." And don't get impatient. You will slip a lot of times. Some days will look totally lost, but don't you mind, Boy. Keep climbing. You will learn, Boy, that the higher you climb, the surer your footage will become. Starts are always hardest. No one ever became a leader who was not first a follower. Infinite ease is a development from infinite pains and labor, Boy. And don't you ever forget that you owe the world vastly more than the world could ever owe you. So take the upward climb. Boy, and climb and climb and climb!
