UNION COLLEGE, ALLIANCE, DELIVER  ADDRESS.
The ilass of 1923. twenty-eight in
number,   received   their   diplomas   at
the   thirty-sixth     annual     Commence-
*
ment exercises held at the town hall
last nlsht. Despite the weather and
the absence of electric lights, the auditorium was filled to capacity.
The musical selections given by
member.* of the class were well received and showed a great deal of talent
and ability. Miss Alice Lersch's address on "A New 'Era In Journalism"
was appropriate to the time and explained clearly, the good and bad effects of the newspapers of today. The
choice of polqts were carefully selected and the address on the whole was
well delivered.
I. T. Headland, of Mount Union College at Alliance, O., delivered the address of the evening on "The Making
of a Man". "The Making ot a man",
stated Or. Headland, "depends upon
the development of his physical, Intellectual, moral, and religious powers
and without all four being developed,
the man Is unpractical." He further
stated that, "what you do, when you
have noting to do, will determine
what your life's work will be and with
what success you will meet it, more
than anything else 1n the world." Mr.
Headland used several good examples
in bringing out his polnte, which added
to the interest of his lecture.
Miss Doris Merthe, president of the
class of 1911, presented the class to
Supt. F. R. Powers, who in return presented the class to Mr. W. O. Nord,
president of the Amherst board of education. The distribution ot the diplomas by Mr. Nord concluded the
evening's exercises.

The speed limit In the built up see-

Mi. Smythe pointed out the fact
thut this ordinance has not been enforced to its full extent in the past
but Is sure that It will from now on.
He also wishes to Issue a warning to
all drivers, especially delivery boys
and others, that the ordinance will be
enforced and the penalty for violating
the same will be exercised to its full
extent.

Reserve  Hank  of  Cleveland
The   bitsines>s   pulse    is   steadier—
not   weaker—as  a   result   of  the   discriminating uttitude which tho people
are adopting    A well developed spirit
of conservation is now evident which
to us  Is  reassuring    This  is un  indication  that  a ojmtlnuution  or  sound
prosperity Is preferred to the "boom"
variety   which  is  frequently  deceptive
in  Its impetus
One ot the/principal reasons for
this discriminating attitude is thut
production In various lines has risen
somewhat over consumption; or at
least it is working a little ahead of
the volume of business transactions.
Restricted buying sometimes indicates
less consumption than is actually going on
Again, most business men do not
want iml.isiry to truvel so fast that
it will become travel-worn. The Btone

well cured, but the memory of them
