second epoch.
In the faces of such parents is to
be seen a deep satisfaction such as
not often painted on the human face
Pride In their children showed strong
ly, love for them and confidence in
their future, we're there, but above
all was serene consciousness of dut,
well done and successfully crowned
with its due reward.
For these parents know that they
have done all that is humanity posi-
bio for their children. They have given
TO them a greater heritage than could
be put into a bank. They have Sc
cured the future and success of their
young ones as far as IL is possible
for parent to do that thing. They
have made them ready for life. Never
will their children be able to blame
the parents for any failure. The par
ents have done their share.
These young people are rich. Their
chances OF success In. life have been
increased forty fold-as statitics show
in the last few years. They are not
only stronger and better, they are
more self confident, more able to

the needs and opportunities of the
world. They are among the chosen
ones. and from among them will be
picked the leaders In the worlds af-
fairs in the next few years.
And II Is the parents who have done
this. They have made II possible for
the children TO take this place-a
place from which the parents them
selves were, perhaps barred by lack
OF opportunity in youth. Is II any
wonder that they are happy? You
can almost pick them out by their
shining faces.
And how about you, Mr.. Father and
Mrs. Mother? Are you smiling. too?
Or are you one whose children have
not yet reached this happy stage? Or
possibly, are you one of those who
for one reason or another are not
giving their children the start that
others get?
unfortunately there are a good many
people who do not do their best by
their children. They do not give the
education which is the best equip
ment for life. II you have been that
kind. dear reader, look at the smiling
faces around you today, and learn
from them. II is never too late.

BACCAlAURfATE SUNDAY

Baccalaureate Sunday OF 1910 will
long be memorable In Berea because
OF the greatness OF the sermon To
the graduating class delivered by Or.
Herbert L. Johnston, OF Boston. Mass.
We are sorry that because Of the
rush OF Commencement we do not
have room to give even a SUMMARY
OF that address this week, but DR..
Johnson has promised to send us his
manuscript. and within a short time
we will be able 10 give our readers
tie entire splendid sermon.
The attendance was as always. large
and the Chapel was nearly filled,
when the graduating class. sixty-four
in number marched slowly in to th.
music OF MendleSohn's Wedding March
and later. OF the Lohengrin Wedding
March. played by Mr.. Taylor. Guided
by members OF the Junior Glass the
graduates took seats at the front OF
the building. whore they remained

WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from First Page)


Finally, on Friday the bill came
to vote. All the Republicans, Regu-
lars and Insurgents alike voted for
the bill, and six Democrats came over
and did likewise. The Democrats in
cluded Mr.. Paynter of Kentucky. Ac-
cording to program, the bill will now
be sent to conference, where three
members of each House, all Stand-pat-
tiers, will change the bill till there
is an agreement between the two
houses. 1t is understood that the
real fight will be in this conference,
and that it will depend largely on
Taft. The conference has got to re-
port a bill that he win sign, and it
is whispered-loudly enough SO that
the conference can hear it-that Mr.
Taft will not make so many conces-
sions as he did about that tariff bill
Once was enough for him, 1t seems.
But there is just a possibility that
the bill will not go to conference, af-
ICi dii. SOuBiVoo 10 Icdiis dhAiouo "
adjourn, and II the bill goes to con-
ference, there will be a fight Fights
take time, so plan has been Matched
up to prevent this. The scheme is 20
have the House accept the Senate
bill. There is a chance that this may
be done, as the Insurgents are pretty
well satisfied with the Senate mea-
sure, and the Stand-patters want 10
get home. They need to. If this is
done Congress may get thru in three
weeks.
The interesting thing in all this
mix-up is the confirmation of our
long-standing prediction that Pres.
Taft would be found on the right
side when it came to the final show
down. He 10 now insisting on a
first class railroad bill, and he is
also heading the fight against the ex-
tortion of the roads. He has made
some mistakes in picking men to
work with, but his heart is in the
right place, and from now on he is
likely to be doing lot better. He Is
getting to be pretty near an Insurgent
and he is nearer that than a Stand
patter anyway.
With the Railroad bill out of the
way, Congress will take up the Conser-
walton and Postal Savings Bank mea-
sures next. Here again Pres. Taft Is
getting busy, and trying to make a
reluctant Congress do something worth
while. He is likely to succeed. He
will not get all that Aldrich & Co,
promised him, but he will get a good
deal more than they expected him
to. And he is getting it because of
just two things. In the first place, he
has given up the peace idea, and is
beginning to use the big stick on the
C. & A. crowd. In the second place
the steady and patriotic fight of the
Insurgents has kept the other bunch
so scared that they are ready to do
almost anything asked of them.
One little incident that is attracting
attention this week is the fact that
Vice President Sherman has promised
to go out to Wisconsin and fight La
Toilette. That gentleman is very ex-
IRENE in mary ways, and is often cal
led a demagCgue, but taken "by and
large" he is much nearer the people
than Sherman is, and it certainly is
queer to see a man elected on the
Republican ticket. fer which LaFolete
worked with all his might-take the
stump right against good Republic
can who helped elect him. But then,
for some people the Stand-pat fac
ton is more important than the Rep
ublican party.

FINE LECTURES IN BEREA

As we look back over the year we
find many things in our school life
not laid down in the catalog at Berea
which will stay with us through life
as constant sources OF pleasure and
profit. These are the things picked
up In passing along the road, addi-
lions to the work of class room and
laboratory.
Very important among these ex-
tras have been the lectures, musi-
calls and entertainments given in the
College chapel.
In January fine series of lectures
by DR.. Johns OF Indiana we're given,
all but one being free, to students,
teachers and townspeople. on Feb. %.
Prof Claxton of the University Of
Tennessee gave an address to be re-
membered a life time, and later in
the year Dr. Barton of Oak Park, ILL.,,
gave an illustrated lecture on the
great German Passion Play. Other
notable addresses were given by DR..
Wight of Oberlin. James Speed of
Louisville, tho Rev. Mr.. Scott of
Wyoming, Ohio.
In the musical line we have been
favored as we'll In the early fall
came ""rhe Bell Ringers" who made
splendid music in wonderful ways,
before Christmas the great Harmonic
chorus rendered the Messiah, given by
a hundred trained singers, in January
we had a most pleasing Ladies' Quar-
tet from Chicago, while at the close
of the year the Harmonic society
again gave us a miscellaneous musi-
cal program arranged for the even
ing.
In April one of the greatest magi-
clans OF the present day gave an
evening of wonders.
More important than these special
events are the regular meetings of
the Literary and Christian societies.
There are four mems literary societies
for the young men and two for the
young ladies of the institution.
The mems societies have two pub
lie debates each year which are the
events OF great interest 10 all. Each
of the girls societies gives two open
meetings each year in addition 10
their weekly programs.
The Y. Nj. G. A. and Y w. c. A,
hold meetings each Sunday evening.
These are great means Of forming
close friendships as well as a source
of spiritual power.
To these attractions must be add
cd the two great excursion days,
Mountain Day, a trip to the nearby
mountains by the whole school, and
the Annual Excursion. this year to
Louisville. In which almost three
hundred joined.
In brief the school life outside OF
the classroom at Berea is rich and
varied, though calling for a very lit
tie outlay OF money and being of a
character which not only rests but
re-creates in the best sense, body
mind and spirit.

found in the soil. The intensity OF
nitrification in the soil depends upon
the freedom OF the air to penetrate
the soil and the action of the sun
and rain, hence frequent tillage Of
the soil is a great aid to this nitri-
fication in the coil.
Prof. Deherain found 70 times more
nitrates in a given quantity of soil

equal quantity of soil left unmoved

THORO TlILAGE

The effect of thorough tlllage up
on the productiveness of the soil is
greater than many realize.
Prof Tate Butler says it has been
found nearly twice as many bacteria
are found in meadow land as in cul-
tivated fields and nearly five times
as many in barn yard manure as in
meadow land
At the Kansas Station it was found
that the yield of crops was just in
proportion to the number of bacteria

stnoyed a large part of the town of
Hyden last Friday night. The office
of the Thousendsticks, the only pa
per in Leslie county, the postoffice,
three stores and some residences were
destroyed. The west side of the court
house was damaged. 1t was probably
started by incendaries. Lexington
bloodhounds are being sent there.
