BUCHAREST, ROUMANIA, Nov. IL.
sixty thousand fresh Turkish troops

the Chatalja defenses have won great
,,i,tory for the Crescent, according to
sdvices received here today.
The latest of these advices, which
came by way of Kustendje from Con-

hattie of modern times is being fought
along the Chatalja defenses.

arrived from Asia Minor were rushed

Turkish minister of war. Immediately

than the soldiers who have been upon
the firing line and showed dashing
courage throughout the engagement.

Norman Is to make trip abroad
this summer, earning a part Of his
way by helping conduct a party, aud

Detroit and took trolly for the
twenty eight mile ride to Ypsilanti.
Ypsilanti was celebrating its six
tieth aniversary-about the same ags
as Berea. Like Berea, II has steadi-
ly grown from the beginning. and one
could hardly tell at Ypsilanti that
any other schools had been planted
around Il any more than one could
tell at Berea that other schools have
come into Kentucky since we were
established. Ypsilanti is still the
great Normal School. This year 1t
graduates 735 students. Many of these
had been graduated in March so that
smaller number received certili-
Gates last Wednesday.
This occasion was also memorable
as completing the ten year presidency
of Dr. l.. II. Jones. DR.. Jones has
been one OF the most important schoCI
r.en in the country. IL was he who
made the great fight in separating
the schools from politics in lndianap-

A PLEA

We have heard n number of com
plants recently from subscribers and
some others in Berea that We have
failed to make mention Of the COM
ing and going of their friends. And,
10 doubt, this is true, for, try as
best we can to watch the trains and
to know what is going on in every
home in the community, there is
much that escapes US. But, really,
we would shift the blame. Our sub
scribres and other friends should CO.
operate with us and should drop in
the postoffice a note giving the
names Of their visitors, the length OF
time they are expected to stay or
have stayed, where they live. etc.
There are a few people in Berea who
do this and 1t is always appreciated.
Will others not do likewise, or, at
least, If they cannot find the time to
do so, be charitable in their thoughts
OF us. We want the local news and
do all we can to get it. Cooperation
is what we plead for.

Strong, venerable man, who had

almost from the beginning. Prof.
Strong said that in his young boy

ly opposed his going to school; he
had lived to see education more fully
appreciated; he believed that educa-
ton is improving in our own time;
that there is more religion and more
patriotism In the school than there
used to be. He gave interesting ac-
counts of graduates Of the Ypsilanti

transformations in obscure places. One

Strong is held by all students OF

1.-The lease by which we hold the
old building of the First Presbyter-
ian Church has less than a year to
run. It's renewal is apparently not
to be expected on terms the society
can accept. 1t should not be re-
neWed on any terms, for the old
quarters no longer suffice. We have
completely outgrown them. 1t is
impossible for the society to ac-
complish its work, enlarge its col
lection or safeguard it's treasures
where it is. 1t must have more
room. This, however, is not the
chief reason for building. We are
courting disaster while we remain
in the present location. A single
match may, in a moment, put the
treasures gathered by the patient
and persistent effort of the last fif-
ty years. beyond the possibility of
future usefulness.

macadam streets being about three
miles. They use three-inch stone
blocks on the bottom, then a layer
Of three quarter stone next. and
from two to three inches Of stone
dust Oh top. You cannot get out Of
Selbyville without driving on a ma
cadam road. They have three miles
of concrete pavement. The work
was done by the town and paid for
by the property owners. No bet
ter concrete pavements can be
found than in the town OF Selby-
vile. Being put down by the town
the walks are all uniform, which
adds to the beauty Of the place. A

There is straight road VS..

BY Strengthening the road to Rox-
ana-a small townnear there-the
distance from Selbyville to RoXana
would be three miles; by the crook
ed road the distance is four and
one-quarter miles. At an informal
meeting held one evening, eight
hundred dollars was pledged by the
citizens for opening this road. The
county expected to macadam the
road, but ii will be done either with
or without the aid Of the county.
This will give the farmers a good
macadam road to haul their berries
over, enabling them to haul three
times as much in a day as would be
possible if hauling in deep sand.
1t will consequently add much to
Selbyville in berry shipments.
During the berry season this is
very busy place. Sometimes the
streets are lined with berry wagons
waiting their turns with the brokers
each load Of berries is examined
by the brokers. and the one
paying the highest price gets
the lead. There We're fifty cars
shipped from here on June 7th.
and when the season is over,
Selhyville will have shipped about
five hundred ears Of Strawberries.
which will distribute about $780,
900 to the farmers and the army Of
berry pickcrs. All the cars are
iced before they start out. There
are two large ice plants in the place
with a capacity Of manufacturing
from thirty to forty tons Of ice per
day. The cost Of construction of
these plants was about 500, 900.
There are two large lumber mills
which can furnish all the lumber to
build their houses.
