BESSIE TIFT NEWS
Dr. Percy Scott Flippin, head of
the History Department at Mercer
University, gave the first of a series
,if lectures , at Bessie Tift-College on
Thursday night. His subject. was
The Responsibilities of Citizenship.”
Being the first of the series that are
to be given, Dr. Flippin took up
much of hiB time in introducing the
subject. His lecture was very fitting
sn<l proper. He told of the differ-
niVkinds of citizens; those who are
full-fledged” and those who have
(Usabilities imposed upon them; how
to acquire citizenship, and distin
guished between citizens of the
states and of the United States.
Lastly, he showed what our respon
sibilities as citizens are.- We should
pay our taxes cheerfully and meet
all of our obligations to the govern-
-ut in the right way'.
I'hc lecture was clear and to the
point. It ,was so orderly and logi-
ally arranged that all of the audi-
' m c could follow the speaker easily.
|)r Flippin had the attention of the
audience from the very beginning;
everyone was intensely interested in
what he was saying.' All who heard
the address were very glad that they
had availed themselves of this won
derful opportunity and if all the lec-'
turret are as interesting, no doubt a
In rye crowd will attend. We hope
to .have Dim Flippin return some time
during the year for a lecture on In
ternational Relations.
1 he next lecture of the group will
lie.on February 16th. Dr. Daniel
of Wesleyan College will speak at
this time on “The New Citizenship.”

The stage setting was beautiful.
The s, one of the play was in Japan
and most of the characters Japanese,
and in stage setting and costumes
the Jupa'nese idea was so well car
ried out. . ' ‘ ; •
Tin so .taking part reflected great
credit upon Miss Irene Ulmer, .who
is af the head of the Department of
Expression and who drilled them,
as well as showing they had done
faithfill work. They not'only said
welTtheir lines, but they threw much
dramatic action into it.. *' -

the faculty and officers of adminis-
tratioh that' the Warthen household
would be “at home” from four-to’ six.
The residents of the home.are:
Misses Dora Brinson, Mildred Hunt,
Miss Agnes Haddock, Miss Elizabeth
Brewer, Miss Sarah Habersham* Mr.
*nd Mrs. Wade H. Stemple, Mrs.
Aline Gwens,.Misses Maria Clemans,
Lenii Carr, Lowell Townsend and
Miss. Irene Virginia Ulmer.

ceived was very attractive, warmed
By a bright fire in the large, open
fire-place, and with the piretty deco-
r»tions of pink carnations, with *
•“(fgestion of the near-by Valentine
•esson in the various sited hearts,
»hich were festooned from the
chandelier . and about the. curtains,
*»d here and there miniature fairies

FACULTY MEMBERS
GIVEN ONCE OVER
Prof. Kern Raised Ducks “Down
on the Farm.”
By F. K irk land
E rom raising ducks “down .on a
farm” up in the state of New York
to teaching chemistry at Mercer'
University is a long jump, but John
W. Kern; professor of'chemistry, hns
made the vault, according to his
statement.
“I was born and raised on u farm
near Hamilton, N. Y„” he said, “and
lived there until I graduated at Col
gatb University.
"When .1 was a boy I w.orked' on
the farm,” he continued; “and- made
my. first money raising ducks.”
Professor Kern boasts of . never

Twain,’ but 1 huve- since lost' the
sense of humor, . also the name.
When I first came to Mercer, the

not seem very appropriate,” he de
clared. “I suppose they got it from
the town of Elmira, N. "Y., where 1
taught chemistry 1 ' before, coining to
Mercer.”
As a hobby, Professor Kern said,
“I don’t think I "ever hail a hobby,
though- I prefer football to chemis
try. I played football on the Acad
emy team, also on. the Colgate Uni
versity team.” •

Good Paint is Cheap!
The statement that "Good Paint Costs Nothing" was very strong
a few years ago when lumber was more plentiful than it is to-day
—and of better quality.
In this day when lumber has become expensive and its cost is
constantly increasing, n sentence which expresses the true value of
paint,—protecting and preserving the expensive article on which it
is placed,-would be something like this:
“ Good Paint is one of the beat investment*
you can possibly make."
Good Paint," says a leading authority, " is today the ‘ cheapest
commodity of daily life. While there has been some advance in
' its price over the past ten years, owinq.to increase li) the cost of
raw matenals and marked improvement in quality, steel and lumber
have advanced several hundred percent and other articles of
. daily use accordingly."
Compared w ith the materials it is used to conserve. Good Paint
is actually cheaper at present prices'than ever before.
Purpo$elyMade for Every Purpose
Is made to a standard—uniform— of right materials—the
result of 67 years of careful, honest paint making. It
has life Elasticity—-beauty. It gives your home a
25 to 50 percent better selling-value—better
LIVING value.
