RED CROSS NOTES
Cheraw Chronicle:


The Red Cross Chapter wishes to
send Christmas gifts to our Chester
field soldier boys and the list is in
complete. Will the parents and friends
send the names and address at once
to Mrs. Harriet p. Lynch, Cheraw.
An interesting meeting of the chap
ter was held on Monday afternoon,
Oct. 29th at the school auditorium.
Reports from the various commit
tees were heard. The teachers also
reported in regards to the work which
the school children are doing for the
soldier. A second order for wool
($1O0 WORTHY has been sent in. Five
hundred yards Of mildly twilling and
nearly ten bolts of cloth have been
ing distributed.
Three dozen sweaters and mufflers
will be turned in this week Knitting
needles for socks and sweaters are
expected within the week and may
be procured at headquarters from
Mrs. Hal Duva!l. One hundred com
fort kits have been made and we
hope to send box to Atlanta head
quarters this week. But of utmost
Importance just now is the class in
surgical dressings which is being
formed. Those who wish to ioin
this class will please report to Mrs.
Harriet =. Lynch. Mrs. Lynch is an
authorized instructor in this, having
taken the course in Columbia and re-
ceived her diploma from Washington.
The class may number from ten to
twenty. There is no work more ncces-
sary than the making Of these surgi-
cal dressings for our wounded men
and it is earnestly urged that the
class be made up to the full number
at the earliest possible moment.

SAYS GERMANY is A LAGGARC

Washington, Nov 4.-Gcrmanv has

she has been tagging behind England
France and United States in discov-

in discussion Of the "Prussian mill

Secretary Houston attacks as large

he states, has been that she hls made

Fifth Annual County Fair Swings
Wide Its Gates To Visitors TO-DAY

Never before in its history Of five
successful years did the Chesterfield
County Fair open under more aus
picious circumstances.
This paper goes to press one day
earlier this week, but as it does so,
on this Wednesday morning the gates
to the Fair grounds swing open to
admit, in all probability, record
breaking attendance.
Crops have been fairly good
throughout the County and the prices
brought to the farmer are undreamed
of. The people have worked hard,
had very successful summer and
are apparently ready to have little
recreation, meet friends and compare
notes.
There have been three successful
Community Fairs held, at Patrick,
at Wexford and at Macedonia. They
have brought their exhibits to the big
County Fair where they make fine
showing
The canning club girls have had a
most satisfactory year and their cx-

enormous number of exhibits and of
the finest quality.
The best carnival company that
could be secured is on the grounds
with tents erected and ready to en-
tertain the merry maker with a
merry-go-round, some freaks and a

THE ACADEMY AND PROHIBITION

The Berea College Prohibition
League is the largest league ever
organized in any college or univer-
sity. This is a truly notable achie-
vement for our college, for in this
contest among the schools Of the
United States Berea was opposed
by several hundred other institu-
tions, many Of them much larger
and the great majority of them much
better able, so far as the financial
status Of their students is concern
ed, to support such an organization.
But we won out. Berea for the
first time, perhaps, in its history,
was officially given recognition in
a very worthy field over all the other
institutions of the country.
In this notable achievement the
Academy Department may well be
proud of the part they had in bring
ing il about. The Academy furnish
ed thirty-four per cent Of the total
enrolment Of the local Prohibition
League, besides many leaders in
the movement here. Furthermore,
the Department sent more than its
quota of delegates TO the National
Convention, held at Lexington, Dec
ember % to 81. Incidentally, Berea
had the second largest delegation
present at this great meeting. The
largest representation was from As
bury College. whose student body
is much smaller than Berea's, but
which is somewhat nearer the con-
vention seat.
All this interest and activity on
the part of Kentucky colleges In
support Of the Prohibition cause is
the more notable when we remember
that Kentucky is still a wet" state.
We of the Academy believe, how
ever, that Kentucky is still "wet"
because Of constitutional technical
tiles and legislative delays, behind
which our corrupt administration
can hide from the desires of the
citizens OF the State. One hundred
and seven counties in the State are
now dry" Since the State con-
tains only a hundred and twenty
counties we believe that we are safe
in saying that the majority Of the
voters of Kentucky desire the State
to be dry" and we feel sure that
the will Of the people cannot much
longer continue to be thwarted.

TAKING STOCK"

The above was the topic Of the
first meeting of the Young Women's
Christian Association for the New
Year. The leader was Miss Bessie
Cunningham of the College Depart
ment. She took stock from the ply
steal, spiritual and intellectual sup
plies of her hearers for the last year
and for the present, concluding
that, unles these supplies have in
creased materially, something is
radically wrong. Special music was
furnished by the Utile Dulce quar-
tet. At the business meeting, the
new Office of Annual Member was
created. The Berea Association will
cooperate with that OF Richmond,
selecting the member alternately,
who will represent the two associa-
tions at the district conference. Miss
Mary Eunice Pearson was chosen as
the first Annual Member.

PUT 1T TO THE TEST

One Of the assistants In a bakery
in which used TO work, was an
elderly colored man. One day at
noon I happened TO be eating some
oyster soup and noting the express
sion Of amusement on his face
said, Charlie, do you like oystersY'
"OystersT he exclaimed, "Um,
Lawsy, mol sho' don like 'em.
I amt ncbber tasted none yet, and
I sho' amt nebber gwine tub nuther.
No sub, not dis niggah."
What a parable. do we find in our
own everyday actions. There are
lots Of things we don't like simply
because we have never tasted them.
There are many things we condemn
or TO which we remain indifferent
because we have never tried them.
We too often come TO our con-
clusion about things in the light OF
biased judgment instead Of fair
and unprejudiced inquiry. Is 1t
fair?
Have you joined literary society,
glee club, Harmonic or one Of the
Christian societies9 Are you sure
you are getting just as much out OF
your school work without them?
Don't you think you would get more
il you Joined them? Put them TO
the test. II will pay.
President Frost tells the story OF
the man who spent over hundred
dollars To make trip to the Ma
CARA Falls, and then refused TO pay
ten cents for the use of field glass
that he might see that marvellous
work Of nature 10 a better advan-
tage.
Boys and girls are making sacri-
fees and undergoing hardships in
order To come to Berea. Is IL con-
sistent policy 10 pursue, when one
spends over a hundred dollars TO
come To Berea and then refuse TO
give a couple of hours a week TO
literary and religious activities when
by thus doing he would often get
twice as much practical good out
OF the school year? II is certainly
not business-like.
Stop and ask yourself this ques-
ton. What am I here for? How
can I best accomplish those aimsY
What does Berea offer me for such
Developments" II you do that now.
and then act accordingly. your
school year will be a success.
