THE PUBLIC AS ROAD INSPECTORS

Indiana was one Of the last states
to have state highway commission
and IL was only few days ago that
the commission appointed a state
highway engineer. Indiana has
many miles Of good roads, however,
and one Of the things the public
should take an interest in is the
preservation Of these roads. II was
this thought which led the new
engineer, William s. Moore, TO say
recently: II ask every tax payer in
Indiana to constitute himself an in
spector and to cooperate with my
department with the great work be-
fore u.s." The state has laws TO pre-
vent the destruction of roads by
improper use Of them; instances OF
such injurious use should be re-
Ported to the proper officials. No
body hesitates TO report attempts TO
break in and steal on their neigh
bors' property, and in most cases TO
offer physical interference with the
'marauders. The man who knocks a
good rood To pieces with a traction
engine or damages il by driving
heavy loads on narrow tires on wet
days is damaging public property
unnecessarily and should be held
TO account just as much as house,
breakers. The state and county Of
flcials cannot be everywhere all the
time: they have to rely on the pub
lie spirit Of private individuals to
keep them informed Of transgress-
ions Of the kind named. The public
can also render great help by re-
porting lax work by the small gangs
sent out to make repairs, by giving
prompt information concerning de-
fective road conditions as they de-
selop, and informing the authorities
of the location Of good road build
ing materials. Road building is not
such a simple matter as it seems TO
many persons who have not taken
an active part in il, and probably a
good many ill-advised suggestions
concerning road work will be made
by individuals through ignorance
Of all the facts relating TO II, but the
right kind.

LETTER TO STUDENTS
Dear Berea Students:

Dear Berea Students:
You will soon be on your way to
Berea for a year in school. This Is
new experience for some Of you.
AZ you have always found what you
needed in your home school. But
the time has come 10 broaden your
horizon and get larger view OF
life than can be gotten in your
home community. In other words.
you are going away TO school TO
learn how much you love your home
and how much you can help IL when
you return.
To others among you this is not
a new experience. but renewal Of
your covenant with Berea and the
host Of teachers who are pledged 10
serve you in every possible way
that will promote your interest.
President Frost will he away for
the year. and for this reason as for
many other reasons. you are going
10 contribute 10 the success and
happiness of every student and
every College worker with whom
you have dealings. President and
Mrs. Frost have worked hard that
you might enjoy the privileges and
blessings that Berea has TO offer,
and as a result they were advised
10 60 away for a year Of quiet and
rest where they will not be bother
ed with the manifold worries OF
school life. Upon this ground, ! am
pleading for every student TO come
to Berea in the right spirit and at
titude OF mind.
Last week we spoke OF real pa
triotism and the two most impor-
tant kinds that young people should
think about in this great day. One
was service 10 our country in the
battle lines and the other, service
to our country in civil lines. You
have decided that your country can
do without you in the battle lines
for awhile and you have wisely
chosen TO prepare for the civil lines
in which you will render service for
your country. You are going 10 an
other kind Of training station. - q
training station for leadership in
civil life. Many Of you will become
First and Second Lieutenants; some
will become Captains: a small num-
Der will be made Majors; and the
best among you will reach the dis

CAMP SHELBY, HATTIESBURG,
MISSISSIPPI

Soldiers Of Kentucky, Indiana and
West Virginia, who will go to Camp
Shelby will be in that section dur
ing the harvesting Of the greatest
corn crop in the history Of Missis-
sippi. as carefully estimated by
experts place the yield at about
iOO,O00.OO0 bushels, or 30.OOO,OOO more
than the previous best yearly pro-
duction record. The cotton crop in
Mississippi will be 80 per cent great
err than for several years, IL being
estimated that 100000 bales will
be raised. The crop will be worth
approximately, with the seed,
2iO,OOO.OOO as the seed will bring
from SIS TO SIS ton and the cotton
will average 1925. a bale, the
largest prices commanded since the
Civil War. With corn selling for
more than 500 a bushel. one gains
an idea Of the value Of these two
crops in that state for 1917.
Many OF the National Guardsmen
who are going there from the north
and west will see cotton fields for
the first time. They have heard the
song. "Picture, Tonight, A Field Of
Snowy White" perhaps, and when
they get there they will review the
fields. some late cotton in bloom, and
the early cotton with the bolls
bursting open, and the white cottos
ready to be picked. They will see
cotton picking scenes, and hear the
Southern darkies singing folk lore
songs, as they proceed with their
work.
Preparations to give the soldiers
a cordial welcome continues una
bated, and different committees of
citizens are completing all their
plans. which have for their object
making the boys in khaki feel at
home in that Southern community.

 officials and others in Berlin. Copies
 of these messages in the original and decoded form were introduced
 The decoding was done by Profes
 sor William Friedman, of the River
 bank laboratories, Geneva, H., who testified that a world wide search was made for devices whereby the mes sages might be revealed The message relating to China declared that L. Yuan Hdng, as in sympathy with ths Hindu cause and might consider [ treaty with Germany which would promise absolute Chinese integrity il consideration of China's active par | ticipatiOn in the proposed revolt Other messages disclosed the assist
 ance of a sister Christine" and many others who were supposed to have spread propaganda of the revolt and obtained support for 1t in several oi the world capitals The exact status of these agents was not revealed h
 the hearing, other than they were sup posed to be endeavorlng to secure world wide backing for the cause oi the revolutionists.
 During the introduction of this evi- dente Dr Chakarvarty made an i'm
 passioned address to the court, say ing he would contest the introduction
 of the messages into the record if he could be assured that no British agency handled them.
