BY the Express we do not mean
in this instance train which travels
between New York and Chicago.
That would not meet your needs. We
have reference to the so called Ex-
press courses of the Berea College
Academy. Beginning January second,
Just after the Christmas holidays, and
continuing until the close of the regu-
lar school year in June, courses will be
offered in three subjects = Mathe-
mates, Natural Science and English.
During the twenty-five weeks that
these classes will meet the equivalent
to an entire years work in all three
studies will be accomplished. In other
words, those students who do satisfac-
tory work in these Express courses
will be able to graduate in three more
full years from the College Prepare
tory Course and in two more years
from the General Academy course ex-
actly the same as if they had entered
last September. That is why we call

One of the large railroads operating
between New York and Chicago has
a train which they call the Midnight
Express" As its name indicates, it
leaves much later than the other
trains, but it travels with such speed
over a track which is cleared for it
that person may take the Midnight
Express" and reach his destination at
the same time as if he had left on an
earlier but slower train.
There is a Midnight Express
waiting for you. For some reason,
perhaps, you did not deem it advisable.
to go to school last fall. Perhaps you
had to work at home. Perhaps you
wanted to earn some money. Perhaps
you thought you did not care to con-
tinue your education, but your expert
ence since last September has made
you change your mind. We have
reason to believe that you are one OF
the many young men and women IN
this part of the country who are in
Just this situation; not in school, wish
ing you were here, yet realizing the
great difficulty which confronts you if
you try to start your work late and
under the handicap of being weeks
behind your classmates in your stud
les. If we are correct in this belief
then you are the very one for whom
the Express is waiting.

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE


err goes out 10 buy a bull, or other
animal for himself, or an associa.
ton Of farmers, he must know the
points Of excellency or he will pro-
badly not get his moneys worth
Other benefits 10 be derived from
a stay at the stock show is 10 learn
the fashions in the live stock world.
There are certain fashions in live
stock breeding which must be re-
cognized. These fashions change
not so often as women's hats OF the
cut Of mems coats, but they do
change and those WHO have Tn,
fashionable bred animals will sell
for higher prices and make more
money than those who have Just rs
good animals but of the old type
For an example, a pure bred Hol-
stein COW which has more white
than black will sell for several
dollars m"re than a COW of the
same type and production which
has the black color predominating.
One has also the opportunity OF get
ting in touch with the best breed
ers all over the country and when he
is ready TO buy, he knows where
to go TO get the sort he wants.
There are many other benefits 10
be derived from this great stock
show and | heartily recommend TO
every one interested in good stock
and the improvement Of what we
have that he goes TO the IRterna-
tional Live Stock Show at Chicago
next year. Your County Agent

THE INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK
EXPOSITION AS SEEN BY
J. w. wHITEH0USE

From December 20, 1915, there
was assembled in Chicago, the aris-
tocrats and Blue-bloods Of the AMI
NAL world. Twenty acres at the
Union stock yards were occupied
BY the best horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep that America has produced.
There were representatives. from al
most every state in the Union and
from Canada.
II has been the custom for many
years for the farmers Of county to
meet at the county fair and compare
their products and have expert
Judges TO decide who had the best.
Some of the successful winners
were not satisfied 10 be the champion
stock raisers or corn raisers OF their
counties but wanted TO compare
their products with other counties,
so the state Fair was established.
The State Fair live stock winners
were ambitious to achieve greater
honors and succeeded in establish
ing an International Show which is
held each year at Chicago.
The greatest good TO be derived
from a visit TO the International
Live Stock show is TO establish in
the mind the ideal type OF animal
which is wanted by the market. The
average farmer will probably never
reach the ideal but he will come
much nearer il than he would il he
did not have an ideal When n farm

Brokerage houses have more beggars
Of business men. At Christmas time
they fairly swarm. Some are down

and the mixing Of business and alco-
hol; others are simply the unfortu
mates who have kept from drink, but
who have lost their nerve and money
and are merely trying to live.
A story Is told by Chicago broker
Of how he fell a victim to one smooth
stranger recently and how the smooth
stranger thereupon fell a victim to
him. The visitor came to his office
with a more or less familiar hard luck
story OF his wife being sick, his rent
overdue and himself out of work ever
since the market went against him I'm

q few minutes and then said. won't

fellow feeling OF the market. I'VE

afterward. "and the poor man ordered
a bottle Of wine and a bunch OF TWEEN

twenty dollar bill that I had lent
him put down to pay for the drinks
and cigars. When the change was
brought / reached over and took It and
said; This IL my money. But the
drinks are on me-"
The man who had seen better days
before the market went against him
moved on TO the next brokers' once.

you to your destination on schedule
time, in spite of the fact that they do
not start until several weeks after the
regular course.
BUT PERHAPS WE WERE WRONG?
II may be that you have no thought
whatever of going to school any
more. II that is the case will you let
us put just one question to you? Do
you realize that person who wears
your hat and answers to the same
name that you do, twenty years from
today, will be twenty years too old to
take advantage of the opportunities
that are now yours? That person
who is to take possession of YOU
twenty years hence comes too late for
even glimpse of the good things that
are in store for you NOW. They are
in store for you, but you must come
and get them. They cannot come to
you.
Accurate statistics show that the
men in the United States who have
a common school education are earn
ing on an average 500 year, while
the men with high school education
are earning on an average $500 a
year. Now do little figuring. Sup
pose that you work for thirty years
with only common school education.
At the end of that time you should have
earned $4,000. Then again, suppose
you work for thirty years with high
school education. At the end of that
time you should have earned $4,000.
In other words, the four years that you
might have spent in school would have
made you the neat little sum of $24, 600.
That is just the difference between
the average earnings of common
school man for thirty years and the
high school man for the same period
of time. Can you afford to turn your
back on $4,000 a year for four years.
That is what we mean when we say
that good things are in store for you.
But you must come for them, and the
Express is, for you, the shortest
and quickest route.
Furthermore, the cost of "trip" on
this fast train is unusually low. 1t is
almost as cheap as staying at home.
.Berea College, the Operator" of these
Express" courses, sees to it that
those who take them receive the
largest possible benefit at the lowest
possible cost.
YOU had better plan NOW to take
the Berea Academy Express Courses
THIS YEAR.
Come to Berea January second and
watch yourself GROW physically,
mentally and morally-in the congo
NAL and wholesome atmosphere of
this institution.

advice address the Secretary,

White Snx Have Chanoe.

Nearly every critic of prominence outside of Chicago picks the White Sox as strong pennant factors and some think Comiskey's club will cop the precious American League bunt- ing. and all confess their inability to understand why this team isn't leading the procession. For their benefit it will be stated that com- blnation of circumstances prevents the club that is probably the strongest in the league from lead ing in the younger major circuit,
 A club that boasts Of the best hurting staff in the game, Che great est catcher in the American League, the ablest second baseman in base ball and the pastimcs greatest sluggcr certainly ought to be a tough team to defeat this year.
