more beautiful Berea."
The meetings have all echoed the
enthusiasm OF the league founders
and supporters. II seems as II the
ball OF civic betterment has been
started rolling at last and the velo-
city and momentum which 1t will
attain is incompatible.
The meeting Monday night was but
"a sample OF what has been going on
since the league organized. The
meeting was held in the Parish
House and a goodly crowd was pres
ent. The College orchestra had
been secured and furnished music
which added much 10 the zest OF the
evening.
Things which would add TO Berea's
attractiveness were discussed. H. K
Taylor, as chairman Of the commit
tee on Beauty and Improvement
made a very interesting talk which
left none in doubt but that he was
the right man in the right place and
one who had both ears and eye'
open for suggestions as 10 just how
this phase OF the work might bes
be carried on.

Berea is not going TO be behind the
rest Of the country in celebrating
that event. 1t is to be made one
of the greatest occasions of the cur
rent year. The college, the COM
immunity, and the patriotic organiza-
tons will unite in it. More definite
particulars will be given next week.
Sufficient for the present to say that
there will be several short address,
es, music of a varied character, and
other features contributing TO make
it an occasion TO be looked forward
to with anticipation, and to be re-
Imembered with renewed interest in

Sweet clover is growing in

the crop from a cemetery to haul
to his farm and the dry stems
with the ripe seed in them viii
be scattered over his fields and
particularly along gullies. Most
of the seed is now mature and
should be cut at once. The high
price of the seed makes it pro
.ftable to save the seed from
roadside plants. Sweet clover is
one of the best crops to plant
upon fields intended for perman-
ent pasture. The bluegrass is
always more green and of heav-
Ter growth in alfalfa or sweet
clover than where growing
