No Danger of Potomac Freeze.

The coming of warm summerlike
weather yesterday has put an end to
the fear that the river was about to
freeze up and the rivermen are now
convinced that all danger of a freeze of
any length of time is over for this
winter. They say after the third week
in February the season is too far ad-
vanced and tho sun has too much power
for a freeze of any duration. The main
channels of the Potomac river are now
wide open to navigation by sailing
craft as well as those propelled by
power, but In tho creeks Ice still exists
an inch or two In thickness. This Is
rapidly softening and II the warm
weather continues the ice in tho Po-
tomac tributaries Will have disappeared
by the end of this week and navigation
will be as wide open II Is In mid
summer.

PROFESSOR LEWIS SPEAKS

Tuesday night Professor Lewis,
who has just returned from the
University OF Illinois, addressed the
students Of the summer school in
upper chapel. The lecture by Doctor
McAllister, which was scheduled for
that hour will be given later. Pro-
fessor Lewis gave an interesting &C
count Of his stay in Champaign. He
brought out forcibly the fact that
the more one learns the less he
thinks he knows. He made a plea for
preparedness" that is greater than
that OF armies and navies, a pre-
paredness" OF character. The malady
that is affecting America is
"flabitis," a deterioration OF charac-
ter. The interest Of the lecture TO the
hearers was evidenced by their pro-
found attention.

PRESIDENT FROST BREACHES

In the absence OF the pastor. Doc
tor Roberts. President Frost filled
the Union Church pulpit Sunday
morning. His text was taken from
the famous passage, The good
shepherd giveth his life for the
sheep" His discourse was delivered
in the form OF a parable, likening
mans journey thru life to a pilgrim
age thru the desert. On that pill
grimage each person starts with
three priceless Jewels. The wolves
and circumstance OF environment
and especially human wolves try 10
steal these jewels. Happy is the man
who keeps them in his possession.
These Jewels are reputation, self
respect and the pearl OF great
price" or the human soul. President
Frost concluded this powerful SER
mon by reading Matthew Arnold's
famous "Rugly Chapel" which was
very appropriate. II was a real treat
to all present to be permitted TO
hear President Frost from the
pulpit. On account Of pressing duties
he is very seldom able TO address
the people Of Berea.

A COUNTY AGENTS WORTH

In behalf of our County Agent
Spence and Gardener Fielder, ! wish
to state that their practical worth
was demonstrated in restoring a
hundred dollar COW to health by a
scientific operation. This valuable
animal was pronounced by veterna-
rians as in hopeless state.
In order TO help others the simple
operation for milk fever is here
given. The udder was inflated by
means of an air pump, the air being
retained five hours. The oxygen Of
the air is the secret Of the cure.
Try it when your cow has milk
fever.

shaking took place.
