GOOD MEETING

Last Sunday evening meeting OF
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton was more than usually interest
ing. The subject was, "The Greatest
Movement in the Student World To-
day." having reference to the remark
able progress of the Bible Study De-
partment In all lands. Prof. Raine gave
a stirring address on the indispensable
lily of Bible study. daily. Mr.. Wilson,
the new State Student Secretary spoke
ON the Importance of getting into
Bible Study Group at once. Mr.. Wilson
was General Secretary in the Univer-
sity OF Missouri for three years and
his experience along this line made
his words all the more effective. A
good number of fellows have already
enrolled themselves in the voluntary
dormitory groups.

Association received set back be-

HAYS AND ABNEY ARRESTED

Deputy Sheriff w. A. Johnson arriv-
ed in town Wednesday morning with
Ernest Hays and Leonard Abney, for
whose capture rewards of 5000 had
been offered. They are accused OF
participating in the alleged murder

was obliged to crawl on the ground
for more than 100 yards in order to
approach the house. Abney was
captured in Oklahoma last Wednes-
day and brought by Johnson from st.
Louis. The TIVE will probably be put

Madison Circuit Court Hays being

TAKE NOTICE

There will soon begin long series
of articles by F. o. Clark, who has
won such reputation as a practical
and scientific farmer, on making the
land produce larger crops. 1t can be
done, It has got to be doue, as the
worn out corn fields on the hill sides
of our mountains prove, and Mr.. Clark
will tell us how It ought to be done.
We can promise our readers that
the series will be one of the most
valuable ever published, and 1t is
something that cannot be obtained any
where else, and that is just what we
mountain folks need. Watch for that
series of articles and don't miss one
OF them, for they deal with a subject
which is about as valuable as any can
ever be to the mountains.
We wish to remind poor boys, think
ing of coming to Berea this year, that
there is a reward OF $40 offered by
Henry Lengfellner for the boy who
walks in the farthest to learn the tin
ners trade. Mr.. Lengfellner adds that
he will give such a fellow a good Job
during next summer so that he can
continue to earn his way thru school.
Here Is a fine chance for a poor boy.

FOOTBALL TEAM LOSES

The first football game OF the sea-
son, played Saturday with a gang that
claimed TO represent the Ashland, KY.
Y. NJ. C. A., but really represented
almost everything else. was a de-
cided disappointment to Berea people.
the home team being defeated 21-0.
The defeat was not made on straight
football, in which II anything, our
men had a little the best OF 1t, tho
neither was able TO make consistent
gains, but on "flukes" due to lack
of understanding of the duties OF
their positions by some green men
on the team. Two touchdowns were
made by the Ashland backs on field
punts, owing to failure of the Berea
men to turn them in instead OF out.
and one was made on an intercepted
forward pass, for the same reason.
There was a good deal of fumbllng,
especially by Berea, and dis-inclin-
alton TO fall on the ball which re-
suited In several bad losses, and fin
ally in one goal from field. Alto
gether the playing on both sides was
ragged and disappointing.

need education and are not detained
by duties will come and join the
Berea group. The students are enjoy
ing themselves more than usual this
Fall, and many of the best times
are still TO come. The Phi Delta An

Springs. He informed them that the
president would be out presently, and
then, as the mountain breezes were
spreading his coat-tails out so that you
could play checkers on them, he hiked
to summon the presidential valet. The
president finally appeared on the plat
form, and explained smilingly but has
tily that his program hadn't any no.
tice of six o'clock reception. The
crowd stated that whether it did or
didn't he was there, and they were
going to have him, and off they rushed
him to the Glenwood Springs hotel to
show him the wonderful public bath
with the towns famous warm springs.
Now, a bath before breakfast is a very
pleasurable thing to take, but the way
the president was to take this did not
suit him in the least. The thoughtful
people of Glenwood had prepared a
specially-constructed bathing suit for
the president, and dozen or so for
the members of the party, and the pro.
gram was that the president was to
patter down into the pool on one side,
while the multitude watched from the
other side. The president positively
declined this courtesy, and reluctantly
the people of Glenwood Springs gave
up their promised presidential pleas.
