SUPT. RANKIN VISITS BEREA

Honorable NJ. c. Rankin of Henry
County, our State Superintendent of
Agriculture, was in Berea on Friday
and gave a most important address
TO United Chapel. He expressed him
self as surprised and gratlfied by
what he saw in Berea, and in parti-
cular commended our work in noun
tain agriculture and forestry.
The chief points in his address
were upon the selection of seed-corn,
the so-called dry cultivation. and the
rotation of crops. He said in part
Il used to think that my father
was the handsomest man in the coun-
ty, and also that he was the wisest,
and It was a great effort for me some
years after his death to begin to
change, in some particulars, his way
OF farming He used to pillow deeply
for corn, and that was right. Then he
planted his corn deeply, and that
was a mistake Then he cultivated
deeply, and that was another mistake.
We know today that the deep Guilt
walton between the rows OF corn only
breaks the roots and hinders the
growth. What we ought to do Is to cul-
tivate very frequently but only In
very shallow way so as to keep
mulch of pulverized soil like dust on
top. This holds the moisture in the
ground and keeps the corn growing.
have raised 50 bushels of corn TO
the acre by this cultivation, when the
same kind OF land directly adjoining
and cultivated deeply only brought q
bushels 20 the acre.
have had as surprising results by
selecting good seed-corn-selected seed
corn can very nearly double the
yield
Then comes In the great discovery
OF rotation Of crops. We say land Is
worn out. That means that some of
the elements have been exhausted
The other elements are all there. Now
II we can supply the part that is
lacking in the SOIL we shall have
good crops again and this can be
done commonly by changing the crops
for two or three years.
OF course, do not need TO say
that the greatest thing for us as farm
ers to agitate for in Eastern Kentic-
ky. is good roads The state helped
build the great pike from Maysvile
TO Louisville and others in the CEN
trail part of the state; then the Con-
stitution was changed, making It i'm
possible for the state TO help in turn
pike building.
We are going to submit a constitu-
tional amendment next fall to have
the Constitution changed back so that
there can be proper taxes levied for
this important purpose"

Or. PEARSONS PAYS PLEDGE

DIR. Pearsons. who some three weeks
ago pledged S25 600 for the erection
OF a new Mems Dormitory in Berea.
Tuesday sent Treasurer Osborne a
cheQue for the full amount. This
was a most unusual thing. as donors
commonly send their money only af-
ter a building is finished
Chapel Prayer Wednesday morning
consisted of singing the Doxology and
passing a vote OF thanks to Or. Pear
sons. and a very brief word OF prayer
and thanksgiving.
Pres. Frost sent the following tele-
gram:
"Berea students and workers send
you hearty thanks. We pledge our
selves to follow your example in I'M
selfish devotion to things which make
the world better"
"This does not make Berea rich"
said. Pres Frost, for We can never
feel that We have enough as long as
there is one man or woman unfed, or
one child untaught But this will en-
able us to do great deal more good
than we have ever done thus far"

Girl attacked Near Winchester.

WEST RESIGNS:-J. w. West SIM
erintendent of the Kentucky Anti
saloon League for the past year. has
resigned his position and left the
state on account of serious charges
brought against him for Improper
conduct toward little girls. Mr.. West
denies any immortality, but admits
that he was perhaps indiscreet. His
successor has not yet been chosen.
NEW TRIAL REPRESENTATION
Adams overruled a motion for a
new trial of Beach Hargis and the
case will at once be taken to the
Court OF Appeals. The young man
showed no emotion as the Judge in
passing sentence stated that he would
be confined at hard labor in the peni-
tentiary at Frankfort for the rest
of his life.
BRUTAL ASSULT:-Another bru,
Ia assault was committed a few days
ago. A sixteen year old girl of Win
chester was found bound and gagged
short distance from town. When
she recovered consciousness she said
two men had seized her and in spite
of resistance had carried her away
from the house. Because of the
crowd that collected, bloodhounds were
unable to do any good in tracing the
men, but the police are working to
find them.
ABNER CLEARED John Abner
has been acquitted in Jackson, Breat-
hit county, OF the charge of killing
James Cockrill during the Breathitt
feud in 1923. This is the last of
the famous feud cases, and the courts
will hear no more of them.
SHOT IN NECK;-Will Hill, a pro-
minent young merchant of Beatty
vile, was seriously shot in the neck
while serenading with a crowd Of
young people at the home of a
well known citizen of that town. 1t
is thought the shooting was done by
a prominent young man but no rea-
son is given for the act
DOUBLE TRAGEDY:-Enra be-
cause she had broken her engagement
and would not renew it, Porter Smith
a Dartmouth graduate, shot and pro-
badly fatally wounded, Miss Helen
Marden, a senior in Smith College
and then killed himself.

SOME MODERN WISDOM

Humor has been given us by ma
ture as an antidote to self-conscious-
ness.
Tolerance is a virtue required of
the other man.
Whether the road leads up or
down matters little to him whose
sole concern is to get there ahead
of the other fellows.
Men who do their own thinking
make poor fanatics.
Luxury springs like weed from
the soil Of necessity as soon as this
is made fertile by the rains of plenty.
The line of least resistance lies
in the rut.
Isolated instances prove possibili-
ties, and nothing more.
1t is easier to rush on to a COM
plete denial than to stop at a confess
sion Of ignOrance.-World's Work.
You cannot dream yourself into
character; you must hammer and
forge yourself one.-Thomas Carlyle.

SUPT'S. CONFERENCE

The idea started by the Normal De
partment of Berea some years ago, of
holding a conference of County Sup
erintendents of Public Instruction, has
been taken up by the two state Nor
mails, and the schools at Richmond
held such a conference very success
fully last week
OF course the attention was very
largely directed TO that part of east
ern district which is not mountainous,
though the mountain problems receiv-
ed some attention.
State Superintendent Crabbe was
present and gave inspiring and help
full addresses.

They viii go thence to Portland,

The governor viii also appoint 10
delegates from various parts of the
state to represent kentucky at the
irrigation congress, in which there
is much interest throughout the South
because of a possibility Of securing
the eighteenth congress The move
ment originated in South Carolina
several months ago and it is believ-
ed that a concerted effort will result
to have the 1910 congress go to one
of the southern cities.
r. Insinger, chairman of the board
of control, has letters from import
ant centers in the South, saying that
the people there are vitality interest
ed in the discussions of such problem:
as forestry, reclamation of swamp
lands, deep waterways, good roads
and home building, also that some
are concerned in irrigation, and this,
he believes, indicates that most of
the states will be represented at the
congress.

for gas between the time the United
States supreme court decided that the
law was constitutional The refund
ing employed several bookkeepers and
clerks in various offices in the diff

the use of thousands of dollars worth
of postage stamps. More than SOO,-
600 letters were mailed and nearly
100000 different accounts were
audited and as many checks drawn.
All but $24,9S3 of the original fund
has been refunded, and for this
amount the consumers to whom it is
due have not entered claims and have
not been found by the courts. 1t was
expected that this gigantic bookkeep-
ing and clerical task would require
almost a year. The interest of the
original fund will just about pay the
expense of refunding it, it is believ-

MRS. MARY BAKER EDDY
IS 8S YEARS OLD

Boston, Notwithstanding the
recent reports alleging her to be dead
or very near to death, Mrs. Mary
Baker G.. Eddy, the founder of Chris
tian Science, on Friday added anoth-
er milestone to her life's Journey, and
according to those in closest touch
with her she passed the day in ac-
cordance with the routine she has
followed for several years. At her
beautiful home in Chestnut Hill she
spent the morning in reading and
writing and after luncheon she took
her customary drive. This daily drive
Mrs. Eddy has seldom missed since
she removed to Brookline from Con-
cord, N. H., two years ago.
Naturally enough, Mrs. Eddy does
not think much of birthdays or Of
their cumulative effects and in ac-
cordancs with her wish there was no
observance of the anniversary at
Chestnut Hill. Her views in regard
to the matter are we'll known to her
followers and friends, and as con-
sequence she received few congratu-
latory messages or floral tributes.

vestigation into the alleged hazlng of
Cadet Sutton by his fellow cadets.
Adjutant General Ainsworth express

the alleged hazing would be fruitless
of definite results because Of the evil
dent disposition of the cadets not to
testify.
The cadets are following methods
Of giving no information beyond what
may be drawn forth by questions and
Sutton himself has given no testi-
many fixing the alleged assault on any
individuals. Until the report Of the
investigating board has been trans
mtted to the war department no ac-
