Reducing the Cost of Living

One way reduce the OF living is to go with
out things; another way get them cheaply.
In the Northwest farmers are getting in the habit of
grouping together to buy BULL or boar, quantity
of seed fertilizer thus doing better than any one OF
them could do acting alone. This kind of cooperation
requires confidence and some good leaders.
In other parts OF the country especially in New Eng
land the people starting what is called cooperative
store Ii is claimed that twentyseven such stores have
reduced the cost OF things they sell their by
$4,000 year. There can be doubt that there are
too many stores in the country. If there we're fewer
stores and each had bigger trade they could afford
sell things cheapy and the customers would be the
gamers. The Cooperative Store hires good manager
sells closer margin and the end of the year divides
the profits among the customers, every one getting
larger smaller share according the amount he has
purchased
Berea College has Cooperative Store conducted
in this way for the benefit of its students. Its profits if
any, divided among the students but turned into
the Student Aid Fund

BEGINNING OF BEREA
Clay Calls Fee r Fee Responds = His
Perilous Mission - His Sorrow and
Misfortune.
BY George Candee

These beginnings 90 back as far as
To Yale College where Cassius NJ.
Clay the son of rich land and slave
holder, Green Clay, cousin of Hon.
Henry Clay graduated. At Yale
young Clay became thoroughly satur-
ated with anti-slavery democracy. So
much so that when he inherited his
fathers great property he freed all
his slaves who still loved and served,
if they did not worship him. He be-
lieved that Kentucky would become a
free state and honestly tried TO make
il such.
He made mistakes as all do. One
might have been when he ran for
Governor, on an Independent ticket,
to break up the old, dominant Wing
party of his state. Whether this was
mistake or not his campaign in
that race in which he killed two men
in self defence, won him and his anti
slavery cause many thousands of
friends, especially among the nom
slave-holding mountaineers, the fruit
Of which are just beginning to be
gathered at Berea.
Probably without any thought of
a school or any such fruits, Mr.. Clay,
though not a churchman himself, hav-
ing heard of John G. Fee and his
anti-slavery churches in Bracken and
Lewis counties, sent for him to come
down and preach to his anti-slavery
friends and organize free church at
the Glade. Mr.. Fee responded to his
invitation and went there and preach
ed and organized few courageous
men and women into a non-sectarian.
anti-cast Union Congregational
church which refused 10 receive slave
holders into its membership.
These courageous souls should
never be forgotten by later corners.
Their names should be engraven up
on marble tablet and placed where
every student and other corners TO
Berea can read them.
Mr.. Clay's object, evidently, was to
establish Mr.. Fee at the Glade, a
famous sporting and political gather
ing place There used TO be a race
track there)-as a sort of bishop in
that central place over all his anti
slavery constituency for political re-
form purposes. He helped to estab-

SCHOOL ENTHUSIASM
How an Energetic Young Teacher
with Tools, Books, and Music Made
a Record that Will Never be For
BY Or. Herbert M. Williams


One sign of successful teaohe
is his ability to arouse enthusiasm
in the school so that the pupils will
not only study cheerfully, but talk
at home of what he does and says
so that his work will share in the
home thought and interest. To do
so the children must be made TO feel
that the school is live, growing en-
terprise. Just as the men in a fac
tory take more interest in their work
where the business is expanding and
requires more machinery and build
ings, so the children in a school catch
the enthusiasm of better plans for
work and better equipment.
The writer used to know a young
teacher who took a school where
there was a good building with good
desks and some maps and charts but
not a book toward a library, not a
picture on the wall, and not a must
cal instrument in any of the twelve
rooms.
He saw an opportunity. Thirty
feet of eight inch pine board, the use
of tools in the shop of a friendly
carpenter, a small can of oak warm
ish stain and four yards of cheap
but pretty curtain material made a
very good book case to stand in the
corner of the room with little desk
shelf in front TO hold an inexpensive
reprint of Webster's Dictionary.
Gradually more good but cheap books
were gathered, histories, biographies,
sketches of travel and some standard
novels, the latter TO give side lights,
in an attractive form, on geography
and history that would be longer re-
membered than direct instruction.
They also gave a knowledge of peo-
Pile, customs and manners that could
be gathered otherwise only by min
Cling in the very best society.
The pupils were continually refer
red to these different books TO help
them in their studies and, when the
lessons had been prepared, they
were allowed TO read. This soon
showed its effect.
The older girls, who belonged to
a woman's club, answered so many
questions regarding books and au-
thors that the ladies wished 10 know

What President Frost Prays For

wealthiest homes in the mountains.
am glad and proud that this is
so, and ] expect great things in the
future from the work of these young
people in the world.
But my prayer is that we may have
more students from the mountains.
And my prayer is that we may have
more students from the poorest homes
in the mountains.
Somehow ] cannot make the COM
mon people Of the mountains realize
that their children eau get TO Bered.
and that their coming will mean pros
perity and blessing to the whole fami-
ly.
These young people from the far off
northern States do believe in educa-
ton. And they kRoU tchat is good and
inferior in schools, and appreciate the
wonderful chance that Berea offers.
So they come at great expense two
hundred, four hundred, some Of them
thousand miles.
But there are bright boys and girls
close by, within less than two hundred
miles of Berea, who do not come.
Some do not know they can come
Some do not know how good it
would be TO come.
We have not room enough for all
in the winter. but we have room in
the fall.
My prayer is that a great many
families that never sent a son or
daughter away from home before may
send one TO Berea this fall.

AMBASSADOR RESIGNS

Secretary Bryan announced that the
resignation of Wilson, Ambassador to
Mexico was accepted. The views and
acts of the Ambassador were not in
harmony with the policy of the pres
ent Administration. This act takes
effect Oct. 10, until which time he has
leave of absence.
Henry l.. Wilson was appointed by
President Taft. He calls attention to
the fact that he rendered his resigna-
ton three times before this.
EXPRESS RATES CUT
BY order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission the rates of the EX-
press companies are lowered material
ly. The new rates which go into eff
feet Oct. - will reduce the income of
the Express Cos. S26,000,O00 year,
10 per cent. of the gross receipts it
is estimated. The largest cut is on
the small parcels, and on long distance
rates on packages of 100 pounds or
more.
BUSINESS INCREASES IN 1912
The Bureau of Commerce shows
by official reports an increase of II
per cent in the value of exports for
1912 amounting to 1892, 900, the
total exports of manufactures, ma
terials and agricultural products. Ex-

apart from food stuff were valued at
81, 1877 100000. Exports and imports
totaled 81 1877 100000.
NO INTERVENTION
Pres. Wilson let it be known that
there is no prospect of armed inter
vention in Mexico, also that he would
speedily announce the first step of the
policy of the United States towards
Mexico, which appears to be of media
ton. Endeavors are made to bring
the hostile parties together and secure
such compromises as shall end the
strife.
