MR.. MERRY ADVISES ATTENTION
TO AGRICULTURE.

In matters of public moment or of interest
to the town of Covington there is no associa-
tion nor body of citizens, nor any authorized
representative Of the citizens, to take the in
itiative in bringing to general notice any
communication requiring public action, to
induce an assembly of citizens or to arrange
for the presentation of any person desiring
TO publicly discuss any matter of interest to
the people. Once upon time we did have
. Commercial Club, but it died of absentee
ism.
As a result of this state of affairs it some
fines happens that matters that should at
tract public attention fail'to reach the pub
lie and persons who should be given large
audience are scantily received and rebuffed
bv the lack of interest and undemonstrative
reception.

SMALL HAZING AFFAIR
Academy Authorities Saw That Pre- sent
Trouble Is Not Even So Bad As
The Recent Outbreak

Any outbreak of serious hazing such
as would be followed by unduly strong
penalties was denied at the office of
Superintendent Bower of the Naval
Academy this morning. 1t was stated
that the reported running of plebes
by several members of the next highest
class. is being investigated but that the
indications were that the offnese had
been of so mild a nature that the mid
dies would in all probability simply be
put on the report for few dement's
in each instance. That the present at
fair was even as serious as that which
occurred some weeks ago. was denied.
1t is understood that the incident
which is at the bottom of the trouble
took place several days ago and was
discovered by one of the members of
the discipline department, but the fact
has just become known outside of the
Naval Academy. Four of the midship-
men whose actions are being investiga-
ted are understood, unofficially, to be
Charles L. Foutz. Ohio; Frederick w.
Mckee. Pennsylvania; William H.

unanimously reports that the condi

that the Jail is veritable fire trap,

ST. JOHNS SPIRIT
Prominent AInmnus Address A
Mass-Meeting OF Cadets
On Subject OF The
Hopkins Game
LAST SCRlNMAGING HAD
Nothing Bur Signal Drill And Formation
Practice From Now Until The Con.
test In Baltimore

Whatever the apparent handicap, in
weight and condition. the fact that
their team is being footed as boob ed
for an overwhelming defeat when
Hol kins is met tomorrow, is not caus-
ing the Cadet battalion to lose heart
or to cry quits before the fight comes
off. Enthusiasm for their team is
rife at the old college and confidence
is on the upward course.
Stories of how victory has been
snatched from defeat and of how in
times gone by St. Johns teams, al
though lighter and net in as good
form as the Black and Blue, have
won from Hopkins, were told to the
cadets at a rousing mass-mee ting
held in the gymnasium last night.
Head Coach Cecil, "Old Lady"

vim, all former stars of the college
fields and others were heard and
cheered to the echo while the cadet
band added to the din and kept alive
the enthusiasm. EST. Johns Spirit"
and Never-Say- Die" was the talk
given to both players and cadets
while the others were reminded that
their team was playing for them and
for the college. and for this reason,
if for no other, deserved every ounce
of encouragement, both material and
vocal, that could possibly be given
them.
No more scrimmaging will be done
by the team before the Hopkins game
The work yesterday afternoon, like
that of Wednesday, consisted entire
~ of formation and signal drill and
similar light work while the everlast-
ing ability to keep their spirits and
courage up to the fighting pitch in the
face, all odds is being drilled into
the men in such a way that Johnny
Hopkins may meet surprise that
will be decidedly not pleasing tomor-
row.
Arrangements we're concluded yes
terday whereby the Orange and Black
headquarters on the night after the
game will be the Academy of Music
which will be especially decorated for
the occasion.
