The Agricultural and School Fair
was a great success. There were
more than 300 entries Of Home,
Garden, Farm and School products.
Live stock OF farmers and club
members attracted attention quite
a bit. The School Contest was q
new feature which brought in a
new interest and new people. The
Sloyd exhibit was an eye opener 10
many people. Some were heard
saying, That's fine; I'll bet this
wasn't made by any boy in Berea
College" Friends, every thing ex-
hibited in the Sloyd exhibit was
made in Berea College Sloyd room.
Call and seee Professor May and
veil be glad 10 show you thru the
Sloyd Room and tell you more than
you saw.
The Extension Force and County
Agents present. made the meetings
better by their presence and their
speeches, also help in Judging pro-
ducts.
Doctor Baker, Superintendent Gil
bert, Miss Gordon and Mrs. Jones
added much TO the success Of the
program. Their addresses were
thrilling and inspiring to all who
heard them.
Professor Baird's lecture on Corn
in the afternoon was enjoyed by
teachers and farmers very much.
These two days in Berea will
long be remembered by all present.
They were inspiring days. Days

Natural Curiosity.

7 Joe had been working in Balti-
more. On the day before Christmas
he received his pay and planned to go
home to Washington, but first he
started out to buy presents for all his
family. He did this with more gen.
erosity than foresight, and when
evening came he found himself at the
railroad station loaded with bundles,
but with no money for his fare to
Washington.
Somehow he got through the gate
and approached tie conductor. He
laid the case before him, and ended
: with a plea that he might ride to
Washington on the platform of the
baggage car. The conductor, his
heart warmed by the spirit of the
, season, said, Call right, go ahead"
So Joe climbed on the platform of
the car next to the engine. 1t was
cold night, and it was on a road
where the engine takes up water
from track reservoir as it goes
along.
When the train reached Washing
ton the conductor saw Joe approach
ing, covered with ice from head to
foot, bundles and all. He came up to
the conductor and said, Il sure does
