ACRES OF DIAMONDS

On Wednesday night. February 9,
the Lyceum lovers Of Berea We're
given one Of the great treats Of the
season in the form Of DR.. Russell
Conwells matchless lecture, Acres
Of Diamonds" The event had been
looked forward TO with great eX-
pectation. He was most happily in
troduced by Mr.. Taylor, who has
known him for several years.
This was 5.2i3 times the lecture
has been given. II produced the
same inspiration as il has so many
times in the past The lecture
while appropriate for any audience,
is especially appropriate for College
students.
This was Doctor Conwell's sec
ond visit to Berea and he was
pleasantly surprised at the rapid
growth Of the institution since his
last visit. He is president Of Temple
University Of Philadelphia and thus
has a great sympathy for the work
OF Berea.

dience is growing.

rear and wait for a few minutes
until the students are in the as
signed seats. This request is made
necessary from the fact that the
number Of students is now so great
that they quite fill the chapel. FIX
ira seats will be brought in so that
all may be accommodated.
The meetings have proved a great
blessing To many and doubtless will
to many more before they close.

AN ADDED TRIBUTE TO THE
MEMORY OF DR.. L. A. DAVIS
BY DR.. w. r. Francis, s36 N. Kings
Highway, 81. Louis, Mo.
Editor The Citizen, Berea, Ky.

Editor The Citizen, Berea, Ny.
In your issue Of February 2. the
death Of DR.. l.. A. Davis is recorded.
As friend who has known him
from early childhood the writer OF
this desires 90 add a tribute To his
memory. As boy he gave evidence
Of the strength Of character which
so marked his life, a determination
TO yield no point where honor was
al stake. Associated as ! was with
the College al which the foundation
for his medical career was laid, we
met frequently and the real display
ed in mastering the minutest de-
tails OF the various branches Of our
profession was most praiseworthy.
After a lapse Of years it was my
privilege 10 he a guest at his hos
pitable home last June. and our fire.
duent excursions to the beds Of az
Fiction offered me rare oppor-
tunity ~ studying him at close
range and realizing how well his
conduct supported his high rcpu-
tation.
The love of home and aims for thc
advancement of the community in
which he lived was his absorbing
theme. and the marvellous growth
Of Berea he dwelt upon with en-
thusiasm and his love for those
who have guided its destinies was
revealed in every thought and act.
Could those. who knew him best
have controlled the dispensation, a
less useful member Of society would
have been removed and his field Of
usefulness broadened. but we yield
Ia a higher power upon whose wis
dom we must rely remembering
The riddles Of this life are under
stood only by those who feel that
God is good"

Police For Time
Thought They Had
Kidnapping Band
ABSENCE OF IDENTITY MARKS,
HOWEVER, RELEASES GYP-
SIZES AFTER CHASE.

The absence Of a little mole on the
back of his neck and the fact that he
had but one crown instead of two to
his head brought to nought what
promised to be the unearthing Of a
kidnapping crime by the local police.
Pefore the officers were satisfied,
however they pursued the gypsy
band. which was here Saturday all
the way to Walla Walla.
on May IL, 1915. a small white bos
was kidnapped by gypsles in Pennsyl-
vania. Just a year from that date
which was last Friday. the local po.
lice received a message from Salem
Ore. that boy answering the de-
scription Of the kindaped child was
travelling through eastern oregon with
gypsies in high powered automobiles.
When the three big cars arrived
here Saturday, the police searched
through the band and found four or
five year old white boy among them,
They took seven or eight pictures Of
him and then wired to Pennsylvania
for better description. Meanwhile
the gypsies passed on. Yesterday
word was received from Pennsylvania
that the lost child had two crowns
to his head and mole on the back
Of his neck officer Harry Edwards
and Supt F, Hayes of the water de-
partment at once set out in the lat
ter's car in pursuit of the Gypsy band.
They overlook them near Walla Wal
la, held them up and examined the
boy. He failed to show the distin-
gushing marks. The Gypsies claim
ed they adopted the boy when he was
two years old. However the pictures
have been sent to Pennsylvania on a
possible chance that he is still the
boy.

Operation of
Public is Needed
in Enforcing Law
COUNCILMAN PENLAND SAYS AID
is NEEDED TO MAKE DRY
LAW SUCCESS.

Cooperation from the public in en-
forcing the prohibition ordinance in
this city was asked last evening by
Councilman Claude Penland who ad-
dressed a union meeting Of the Bap-
tist, Christian. Presbyterian and
Methodist churches in the Methodist
church auditorium. The task of the
officers, he declared. is a difficult one
and they need the ready assistance Of
every good citizen.
Councilman Penland declared the
present city administration is doing
everything il can do TO stamp out IL
legal liquor traffic. The mayor, the
council. and the police are as one, he
said. in their desire to enforce the
ordinance and are doing their utmost.
He paid a tribute to the ability OF
Chief OF Police Gurdane and OF Off
GERS Nash and Edwards but declared
it was an impossibiliy for them to
stamp out bootlegging without the aid
Of detectives.
He declared that Pendleton has the
hest prohibition ordinance in the state
and that the officers viii 90 their best
to see that its provisions are carried
out.
Rev. H. II. Huhbell of the Christi
an church made a general talk upon
the enforcement of the prohibition
law and upon improving upon IT, He
expressed surprise that the law has
been as effective as il has during tha
first few months Of its operation.
The weakest point in the law, he
said. is the provision ena ling drug
gists to sell ethyl alcohol upon affida-
Wit. He quoted District Attorney Ev-
ans Of Portland MS authority for the
statement that this provision is un-
constitutional and. If so proved, he
said. remedial legislation will be un-
necessary The law gives the drug
eists the right 10 seil alcohol on sf-
fidayit. ne said, and some OF the drug

Move on to Secure
Rate Allowing Grain
Cleaned in Transit
EFFORT Is TO OVERCOME MUS
TICE TO WESTERN DEALERS
RY EASTERN GRADERS.

1t has become learned in local
grain circles that a move is on to Sc
cure an arrangement whereby wheat
shipped east this season may be sent
via Portland and cleaned in transit at
the docks in that city. II is presum-
ed that authority for such a rate Will
have TO be secured from the interstate
commerce commission.
There has been considerable com
plant regarding the handling Of west
ern wheat shipped east last fall and
during the winter In the absence OF
a state standard of grading wheat the
wheat was graded and cleaned on
reaching the Atlantic ports. In the
cleaning process. 1t is declared a
lower grading was often given than
the facts called for. Wheat contain
ing nothing but dust was docked for
being smutty.
BY having the wheat cleaned in
transit in Portland it is said the deal
ers will have a better show in the
east. At the same time the plan would
avoid congestion Of cars at eastern
terminals as least year the wheat had
to be kept in the cars until it could
be cleaned.
What makes the problem a press
ing one is the fact present indications
are that all export wheat will go easl
by rail. Thus far no ships have been
chartered out of northwest ports and
with the pronounced scarcity of ship
it is possible all the ocean carriers
will be kept on the Atlantic. Should
such prove the case, western people
will want square deal in the matter
of grain grading in New York and i
is said the shipment east of cleaned
wheat will work to this end.
