A GOOD WOMAN GONE

An additional word. perhaps, should
be said in regard TO Mrs Mary King
whose death on June Sth was brief
ly noted in The Citizen. She was the
wife of VIM. Theodore King, well
known in Berea. but her own quiet
and unobtrrsive life was not fully
appreciated. Born in Georgia, in 1886,
FOR some years living in Indiana,
and for twenty six years resident
Of Berea, 1t is not believed that she
has ever made an enemy. All who
knew her and appreciated the quiet
virtues were her friends. Though
her departure came as a surprise 10
many, she had be,n a partial invalid
tor years and for months past en-
tirely confined to her home. She
uas a consistent member OF the Union
church and, during the extreme suf-
ferings which attended the last weeks
of her life. she bore all with true
Christian fortitude.

4 BOLD ROBBERY

Shortly after midnight last Satur-
day morning. n bold robbery occurred
In Wclch's drug store on Chestnut
Street.
Mr.. Tom Adams was returning To
bis room from the midnight train
and heard noise in the building
but thought II was some one con-
nected with the store and Of course
did not realize that he was in danger,
but In a few moments he was con-
fronted by the robbcr who ordered
him to throw up his hands. He an
swered the order by drawing a revolt
yer and firing. His~ assailant also
fired but neither was hurt and the
thief escaped.
The store was Immediately exam
ined and practically all OF the jewel-y

EVIL OF THE PARCELS POST
William Allen White Tells What Mail
Order House Does to the
Towns.

Great cities give much in aims, but
little in Justice. Only as we know
each other we'll can we treat each 9th
er Justly; and the city is wilderness
of careless strangers whose instincts
of humanity are daily becoming more
and more blunted to suffering. be-
cause in the anture of things suffering
ing In cities must be impersonal. 1t
is not the suffering OF friends and
neighbors and kith and kin as 1t Is In
the smaller towns. So the mail order
house crushing out our towns is drying
up the milk Of human kindness In our
hearts.
And that brings us back to first prin-
ciples; II we who live in these small
towns In America cannot see that our
duty to our county lies first of all In
our duty to our neighbors. then we are
blind indeed to the basis of real pa
triotism, for after all patriotism 10
only neighborly kindness. Patriotism
is not In cheering for the nag; It is not
In feeling our eyes filled with emo
tional tears at hearing. The Star
Spangled Banner" patriotism 10 Just
old-fashioned human duty.
To sacrifice our neighbor-the man
who helps the town with its taxes,
with its public business. with its myr-
lad activities for. neighborly righteous
ness-to sacrifice that man and his
business for the mere sake of saving
q dollar on the purchase Of hundred
dollars worth Of goods Is Just as I'M
patriotic as 1t Is to spit at the nag.
For the nag II 1t means anything
means the golden rule; the nag means
friendly burden bearing; II means mu-
tual help in trouble; It means stand.
Ing together against common foes.
The motto OF the mail order house Is
every man for himself and the devil
take the hindermost-and you bet the
devil will.
That spirit never fails to work; and
the weak man. the unprotected man.
the man alone-the man on the farm.
at the end of the fact. when his farm
market is gone. when his town is gone,
when the spirit Of selfishness and
greed has left this country cold and
hard and mean and neighborless-the
farmer will be the hindermost.-Wil-
liam Allen White.

IN OUR OWN STATE
Continued from First Page

Confederate soldiers passed the last
Legislature, it was said there would
be but few applicants. the old SOL
diers Directing to some of the require
ments of the bill. But is is reported
now from Frankfort that there are
more than 800 applications already
filed and two or three hundred more
are coming every week. Does it not
seem strange that state that was
neutral in the Civil War, at least
attempted to be neutral and did
not secede. should now pay out of
the Treasury, never sufficiently well
supplied to educate her children and
provide a decent government, i'm
mense sums to those who sought
fifty years ego to destroy the Union?
And this money. IL must be remem-
bered, comes out of the pockets Of
the Kentuckians of 1912.
We have always respected the
Confederate soldiers and have ad-
mired many of them as citizens, and.
personally. we have thought them
much better off from the very fact
that they were not granted pensions
JUNE CROP REPORT

partment OF Agriculture indicates
backward crop conditions. The wheat
crop is rated at 754 per cent. rye
1872 per cent. corn SIS per cent. the
Zig and lamb crops were short and
neither fruit nor blackberry conditions
are good. Indications on the whole
are bad for the grain crops. but the

the city and suburbs. Both the Doc
tor and Mr.. Cameron did everything
to make cur visit TO that beautiful
city one long to be remembered.
Leaving Detroit, Wednesday night
at 1890, We journeyed toward Tor.
onto and Montreal-did not see much
OF the country till after we had gone
thru the tunnel at Port Huron and
had wakened soon after daylight on
Canadian soil. Connections we're 50
close at Toronto that we had little
time to stay. We are told that IL is
the finest city in America. That.
however. may be questioned. One
thing was quite evident-it would
be very difficult to find more
splendidly equipped train than 'The
Imperial Limited" from Detroit 10
Montreal. One is not annoyed and be-
grimed with dust and cinders and
dirty cars. A better road bed, 1 have
never travelled; a finer country, have
never passed through than the Pro-
vince Of Ontario and part of Quebec.
IL you take the most thrifty part
OF the Blue Grass section and roll
1t out level, you would have some
idea of what ontario is like. Arrived
In Montrcal-a distance OF 976 miles
from Berea. hope that any person
from Berea in landing in the city OF
Montreal at the Grand Trunk depot
will not judge the city by the appear
ance in that locality. II certainly
would give bad impression. The
saloons are in the corners of the
streets and the drunken men stand
in the doors-that is the advertise
ment and 1t is the genuine one.
The city is beautiful for situation
and some magnificent buildings.
We visited the great Notre Dame
Cathedral, the largest in America,
they say 1t is big enough to hold
all the people who were in Berea con.-
mencement day and the faculty and
the Band thrown il.
Then we took in the st. James
Cathedral. This building is a dupli-
cate of st. Peters at Rome, but just
one third the size. 1t is most gor-
geous in finish and furnishings. We
next hunted up some OF the Protest
ant places of worship and found the
st. James. Methodist. Il seemed to
have heard that word before) This
is said 10 be the largest Methodist
church in the coultry-Amen. The
Protestants are trying to keep up
their end of the struggle here.
After taking in the city we got on
board the Limited-another train as
fine as the one we had left, and head
ed for st. Johns, n. b., distance
from Montreal of 740 miles.
We crossed great bridges, had u
good view of the st. Lawrence river,
the Queen OF Waters, rode over more

load every freighter. enough to keep
a gang of fifty men building dormi-
tories in Berea for 100 years. 1t was
logs and mills and more logs.
They were countless. could only see
one way of getting at the numbers,
that was by measuring them by
the square mile.
And after journey of 1,7l6 miles
from Berea, We arrived safely in st.

Mass Meeting to Protest
Against Governments
Action
BY The United Press.

by Inc OnlteQ fIeSS.
LONDON, Jan. ia gigantic mass
meeting will be held at Hammerstein's
theatre tonight to protest against the
part England has played in bringing
about the dismissal of w. Morgan
Shuster from the treasurership of
Persia. Six thousand applications
have already been made for tickets.
Prominent members of Parliament
will speak and the British Foreign Or
fee will be sharply criticised. Henry
f. Blynch. member Of the House
of Commons, who will act as chair
man, said today:
'The Anglo-Russian attitude toward
Mr.. Shuster is absolutely indefensiole.
1t is deplorable that this young Ameri-
can. wha had done so much Ameri-
Persias finances on a sound basis,
should be ousted because his conduct
of office failed to meet the approval
of Russian financiers. The people
of England are humiliated because
their own government took part In
this unsavory business"
