Every study that needs to be
adapted to mountain conditions is
given that turn by the teacher Of
the subject in order that as little
waste energy as possible might be
expended by the pupil.
The Farm Buildings, including the
modern Dairy, is one Of our great
demonstration plants as we'll as a
successful business.
You can see TO the north beautiful
farm land that once sold for 500
an acre and now il is worth $4,000
an acre on the average market. The
transformation was brought about
by scientific farming as taught by
our School Of Agriculture.
The Dairy barn with its 80 pure
bred Holstein cows and milking ma
chine must be visited. We hope Ia
hold some demonstrations at this
barn during the Conference.
Just east Of the farm buildings
the Foundation buildings and the
new hospital can be seen. The hos
pital is the latest fire proof building
with all the equipment Of the mod
ern city hospital.
We insist that you take this trip

mas housed about a hundred girls a
year for forty-seven years. Some
Of the finest young women of the
land have gone out from this dor
mitory. Guests of the Conference
will take their meals in the College
dining-room Of this building. IL will
be of interest to the visitors to know
just how we feed and take care Of
the thousand students in this great
boarding hall. You are invited to
visit the kitchen and ask questions.
Just south Of Ladies Hall is our
new model bakery, where enough
bread is baked to feed a thousand
students three times a day.
The next place to be visited which
will probably be of more interest TO
the members of this Conference than
any building you have thus far seen,
is the College garden and cannery.
This garden contains more than
sixty acres of land and supplies
vegetables and canned goods for our
boarding halls, and also furnishes
great deal to the citizens Of the
town. Our cannery has put up more
than twenty-thousand gallons Of
fruits and vegetables this summer.
Lessons of food production and con-
servation are taught in this plant.
Ask questions about any part of the
garden work or canning and Mr..
Fielder or his helpers will be glad
to answer them.
After leaving the garden, come up
the hill by way Of Boone Tavern and
visit the Academy campus on both
sides of Prospect street. Here, nearly
four hundred boys and girls of our
great mountain section have their
home. Many Of them are preparing
for college, others for the technical
professions. In one corner of this
campus is the Union Church whose
platform is as follows: THE Church
of Christ of Berea, founded 1858, re-
ceives all followers of Christ, and
works with all who work with Him,
respecting each mans conscience,
working by Love, endeavoring to
keep the unity Of the spirit in the
bond of peace
Before leaving the Corner OF Main
and Prospect you must visit Boone
Tavern which has given so much
delight to hundreds OF travellers who
plan their time so as TO get to Berea
for the benefits of our excellent
hotel
There are many other buildings
and places that are Of great value
and interest To every one, but for
fear you will not have time to take
them all in, this guide is picking out
the most important ones for MEN,
bers of this conference.
You will be interested in the
Home Science, Agriculture, Printing,
Carpentry and Blacksmithing classes
i'm Industrial and Bruce buildings,
In these classes students are taught
to use the products native TO their
mountain communities.

WILLIAM c. REDFIELD
The Secretary of Commerce today
declares himself in favor of suffrage
for women.
MAsHINGToN- Nov. /

WASHINGTON, Nov. /.
Further aid from the Administration to
the New York women fighting for suffrage
came today in a statement from Secretary
Of Commerce Redfed. He is the second
Cabinet member to follow President Wilson
in an Endorsement of the fight
"rThere seems no reason why" he said.
"qf women can train our citizens, teach them
the conduct OF life and impart to them
standards of behavior, they should not them
selves have the citizens share in all our
affairs.
Furthermore, there are large sections
Of our public affairs in which women, mere
ly because they are women, are experts.
The cause of education is one; another is
the whole question of dealing with the
liquor traffic in all its forms; so also are
questions of child labor and Of women I'm
industry.
80 long as a large part, If not most, OF
our legislation reacts in the final analysis
upon the household, 1t seems strange to
argue that women may reign In the house
hold but should not be concerned with mat
ters which affect the household seriously.
81 earnestly hope FOR a victory for woman
suffrage in New York on November G."

SCHMIDT QUARTET OPENS
CHAMBER MUSIC SEASON
First of Three Concerts Represents
Classics and Moderns-Letitia Rad
cliffe Miller Soloist

The sterling Schmidt Quartet opened the
University Extension season and, incident
ally, the evening recital season last night
in witherspoon Hall. A larger audience
than string quartets have had in recent
years In this city was on hand to hear a
well-balanced program that gave repre-
sentation to the classics and to the modern
composers and to pay respect to the per-
sonnel of the organization. which Includes
Emil +. Schmidt, first violin; Louis An
gelNy, second violin; Emil Hail, viola,
and william Schmidt, violoncello, playing
under the managerial auspices of the enter
prising Philadelphia music bureau.
The program was drawn along conven-
tional or at least formulatory lines. Thus
the beginning was classical in Papa"
Haydn's Quartet in ID minor, opus &c, No 2,
one of the most gracious in themes, serene
in atmosphere and pure in contour Of his
many works in the string quartet form.
1t is a classic of design as well as of time.
The Schmidts gave this as it should be
given, all light and without heats Of pas
sion or intensities of Interpretation
The other number was the theme and
variations from ATensky's Quartet in A
minor opus 35. which served the useful
purpose of an exposition of the technical
resources of the organizaton--its cohesive
ness of tone, its variety Of art and its
accuracy Of intonation. W. r. NJ.

SIGN OF THE CROSS
REFLECTED BY MOON
Celestial Phenomenon Observed
by Halloween Merrymakers
and Sedate Citizens

Did you see the bright cross reflected in
the sky by the moon last night?
1t was almost unCanny. Hundreds OF
Phiadelphians witnessed the spectacle with
n mixed feeling of wonder awe and fear
With the full moon as it's center and while
the whole city was merryma<ing and cele-
brattng Halloween, the perfect cross was
detected in the clear night sky with arms
Of light almost as powerful as searchlights
The cross was first visible about o'clock
After Illuminating the sky clearly above
the city, it faded dimly from view after
half an hour
Oldtime Philadelphans never had wit
messed such sight before
What does it mean?" was the question
asked on many street corners.
In the Italian quarter many were seen
TO bless themselves. Reports have been
made Of crosses appearing in the sky above
the din and smoke of battlefelds i'm north
ern France, Russia and near the Italian
frontier. The famous cross seen in the sky
by Constantine in the days of the early
Christians-days of torture and cruelty
also has gone down in history.
The Roman Emperor, superstitious was
unquestionably affected. SO were Philadel-
phians last night
When Italian residents had recovered
from their first shock, it began to he
rumored that the emblem i'm the sky could
be taken as an omen that the Italian armies
fast. This omen was considered all the
more important because of today-Al
Saints Day.
Tradition has it that Constantine the
Great, the first Christian Emperor of Rome
was converted by a cross which appeared
i'm the sky. "In Hoe Signo Ninces" was what
he is said to have read. meaning by This
Sign Thou Shalt Conquer"
There are several atmospherical condi-
tions which might explain the appearance
Of the cross Forecaster Bliss, of the
Weather Bureau. said it probably was
caused by minute particles of frozen vapor
or snowtlakes which, under certain condi-
tions of the atmosphere. are brightly re-
fected by the mOon These appear often
in the form of arcs of a circle, but owing
to the brightness of the moon only the
parts near that planet are visible to the
eye, thus resembling cross.
The moon rose yesterday afternoon at
5:51 p. m. 1t set shortly after A. IN. to-
day 1t was some moon!

ARRANGEMENTS between Kendrick and the
American Assurance Company, but also
condemned the methods employed by the
company which affected the sale of stock.
The Investigators, in conclusion said;
therefore, we now condemn the declara-
ton and payment OF such dividends as un-
justihable and wrong"
The American Assurance Company sub
sequently went the way OF many of the
companies the business of which II had
bought. IL went out OF business, disposlng
OF what assets It had TO the Pension Mutual
Life lnsur lnce Company, which later was
involved In one Of the biggest insurance
scandals the state has known.
In 1911 Mr. Kendrck developed mayor
aity ambitions and for q time was rather
prominently mentioned for the Republican
organization nomination. He showed
strength enough to demonstrate his politi-
cal value. The Wares realized what Koch
had realized and what Dowdell and LOCKER
of the Monaton Realty Investing Corpora
ton had Enown--that W. Freeland Ken
bricks help was worth having. kendrclS
was not strong enough himself TO win a
mayoralty fight but he was strong enough
materially to aid somebody elses fight.
So in the autumn of, 1911 Kendrick or
ganzed the committee of 1000 TO urge the
nomination of William s. Ware for Mayor
and he gave Ware his support to the end.
Ware was beaten for the nomination by
George H. Earle, Jr.
The autumn Of 1915 found Kendricli
again an aspirant for the mayoralty and
again he withdrew in the interest of Ware.

Neighboring police officers are
chuckling over the ''bonehead''
pulled off recently by a Joplin
policeman. The bull" noticed a
man attempting to part a chain
that secured the wheels Of an
automobile and went up and
asked him what he was doing.
The man said he had lost his key
and was trying to get the chain
apart so he could run his car.
Obligingly the cop turned in and
helped the fellow break the chain
and stood and watched him drive
the car away. A couple of
minutes later the owner Of the
car came along and found tgone.
The cop had helped a car thief
make away with his booty. The
other night a mass meeting OF
Joplin citizens bent on suppress
ing crime over there, denounced
the police force as incompetent
and inefficient. Could you blame
them?
