The Red Cross Drive has been on
in Berea this week with much ear

meeting Friday night some $500
were subscribed. Subsequent pri-

amount to s2,i57OO. The people in
charge of the campaign are justly
proud that Berea responded in such
a generous manner. With Berea
running so far ahead of its allotment
it is expected that Madison County
will exceed its allotted $4,000 by at
least $1,000. Thus the great drive Is
succeeding all over the country.
America can be counted upon TO
rally TO the call in any emergency.
Our boys must not suffer on the
battle field without everything pos
sible being done TO alleviate that
News comes that Madison County
raised over $4,000, a goodly sum
over the allotted $4,000.

BRYAN IN RICHMOND

A number Of Berea people were
fortunate enough TO get TO hear Hon.
William Jennings Bryan in his ad-
dress at Richmond, Sunday night.
Mr.. Bryan was present with that
same force and elOquence which
has won for him the title of prince
of the worlds orators. His theme
was the prohibition question, which
has been one of his principal topics
for several years. His indictment
against Jon Barleycorn is complete
and unanswerable.
This was the first Of a series OF
addresses which Mr.. Bryan is TO
deliver in Kentucky during the next
two weeks in interest Of the pro-
hibition movement. He is speaking
under the auspices Of the Demo-
cratic Forward League. He says
he is determined TO free the Demo-
cratic Party from the liquor
interests.
His address in Richmond was a
masterpiece and twelve more like
il in Kentucky are going to do lots
toward emancipating our state from
that greatest OF all tyrants, the
liquor traffic.
