.hen only sixteen yean old he was
canied off by pirates, who sold him
Into .lavery in Irelandj where his
Iftaster employed blm as a swineherder
on the mountain of Sleanlsh. Seven
years afterwards he escaped to the
Contin~nt and was ordained deacon,
priest, and bishop and returned to Ireland

In order to overcome the obstinate
Druidclal priests, St. Patrick performed
a number of miracles, the greatest
of which was that of driving the venomous
reptiles out of Ireland. According
to legends, he Instructed the Irish
in the art of dilltlllation. Poteen, a
favorite beverage in Ireland, is said
to have derived its name from St.
Patrick.

.Mltered as aecond class matter at tbe poet
oIBce of Iowa Oity. Iowa
Under the title, "Connecting the
College and the World," the Kansas
City Star comments on an experiment
in college training to begin in Antioch
college, Yellow Springs, Ohio, this
fall.
The Antioch plan is the idea of
Arthur E. Morgan, an engineer who
was made trustee of the college, a
comparatively obscure little institution,
a few months ago. He expects
to move a number of manufacturing
plants, shops, and business estaplish­
*nts to the college and make them a
part of the equipment. These plants
will be run entirely by students,
working in shifts, and giving as much
time to the work as to clas"Sroom attendance.
It is planned to extend the
course to six years.

next Friday and Saturday.
On those days, two young men from Chicago

This exhibit will cost us a great deal of money
but we feel that the information that our friends
will secure from it will repay us. We want our
customers to know what is being worn by cor-

The showing of these accepted clothes in our windows next
