Section - of the act approved August
-, 1894, entitled AN act TO reduce
taxation, to provide revenue for the
Government, and for other purposes.
The Secretary of the Treasury may
designate depositaries in foreign coun-
tries, with which NAV be deposited as
he may determine all or any part OF The
proceeds of any bonds or certificates
authorized by this act, payable in for
eign money or foreign moneys.
In a word the merit which lis spon-
sors claim for this section, as | already
have mentioned, Is that II will stabilize
exchange. They assert that in many
South American countries, in SPAN and
in other countries the American dollar
is now below par and as a result our
merchants and traders are losing vast
sums of money and they will continue to
lose money because of this disparity.
Hence they contend that such bond sales
in foreign countries are the only way open
10 us to stabilize orr exchange since
under present conditions we are not gong
TO export our gold.to meet our adverse
trade balances.
Law. of Exchange Imnutable.
In reply, simply want 10 say that the
laws of exchange are gust as binding
upon the business of the world rs are
the laws of health binding upon the IN
divdual living in the world. We can
pass all the laws We want to and by
50 doing We never shall stabilize for
eign exchange unless the condition OF
the worlds trade is such that transfers
of credit can he made 10 settle trade
balances. Legislators may talk Them
selves black in the face and suggest all
sorts of panaeeas, but whenever the trade
of the world is in the condition that It
is to-day, where every country in the
world says that what gold il holds shall
continue to be held, there is no law that
we can pass that is going 10 stabilize
foreign exchange.
If We cannot secure transfers of credit
to creditor nations and are not going to
ship gold TO settle our trade balances
there is but one way 10 maintain our
currency at par in such conditions;
namely, to purchase less goods from them.
While l did not believe in the efficacy
of Section 3, l and those who agreed
with me in passing the bill merely said
TO the Secretary of the Treasury. as one
of my colleagues phrased it, Issue as
many bonds as in your Judgment may
contribute to the accomplishment of stabil-
ization. Try it. If after you have tried
it, it does not accomplish your purpose,
then stop it."

ling of this years grain crop.
Those farmers who are able to

build elevators. Only fifteen mil
lion sacks are as yet available for
the three northwestern states,
about twenty to twenty-five per
cent of the normal amount requir-
ed; and this years crop promises
to be very large-one of the lar

the greatest and most important
year in the history Of its career.
There are almost two hundred stu
dents in this Department now and
great things are expected of, and
promised by them, this year
There is less homesickness and
dissatisfaction manifested than was
ever known. This fact is due to tho
kindness and help of the teachers
and old students.
The literary societies Of this De-
partment are doing splendid work,
and extend a very hearty invitation
to all the new boys and girls to
come and join. The Vestalia Society
entertained all the Vocational girls
Saturday night. Almost all the girls
were present and all seemed to en-

MY FIRST TRIP ACROSS THE

all as from the distance, rolling
nearer and nearer, came the waves,
lashing and spraying, coming and
going like a great chain Of noun

The gray sky was overcast with a
host Of never-ending gloomy clouds,
flying, moving with the waves.
Nothing else could be seen but our
ship. Nothing could be heard but
the rumbling, groaning Of the sea,
which sounded as If all the voices Of
the deep had been gathered and
turned loose in one mournful note.
So deeply could one feel those
things that il seemed 10 bring a
consciousness of both fear and
peace.

The College is glad 10 welcome
Miss Alma B. Ackley as Professor
Humphreys successor in the Biol
ogy department. Miss Ackley was
graduated from the Michigan State
Normal in 1914, in the same class
with Mr.. Humphrey, and since that
time has been teaching Biology IN
the high school at Saline, Mich. She
has been using the same textbooks
that Mr.. Humphrey used, and has
been covering practically the same
ground in her courses. The College
is indeed fortunate in securing an
instructor who can take up the
work with so little adjustment, and
who is so thoroughly competent,
both by training and experience, TO
maintain the high standards which
have already been set in the Depart
ment.
According TO latest reports, Mr..
Humphrey is still at Fort Thomas,
but is expecting TO be transferred
at almost any time. Mr.. Hackett has
been sent TO Camp Hancock, Ga, and
Reuben Batson and Leo Linton are
reported TO have been assigned TO
that camp also. Fred Evans and
Earl Lockin are at Camp Taylor.
Several of the young men Of the
College Department did not re-
turn after the holidays. Leonard
Crowgey, Justus Jackson, Hubert
Jones, Thomas peeler, and John Rus
sell are still among the missing. Mr..
Jones has enlisted in the Navy; Mr..
Jackson is contemplating entering
the same branch Of service; and, Mr..
Russell is working in Pennsylvania.
The following new students have
enrolled: Clarence Miller, Herbert
Moore, Oren Metzger, w. G. Porter,
Mr.. Walker; Miss Mollie Smith, Miss
Althea Swinford. Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Walker have been in College pre-
yiously. Mr.. Miller is a graduate Of
the B.ped. Course with the Glass of
1916, and Mr.. Walker was here for
the first time during the Second
Semester OF last year.
Practically all Of the members OF
the College Faculty spent the holi-
days in Berea. Miss True was the
only exception, she having visited in
Washington, ID. c.. with her brother.
Miss True and the College girls
of the Home Science Department
who are occupying the Rogers
House, expect to begin serving
meals in their home on Wednesday.
The Farmhouse has recently been
equipped with everything necessary
TO the work OF the Department, and
now furnishes a valuable adjunct

A ONE MINUTE TALK TO YOU

Last summer, while engaged IN
work in North Carolina, a Berea
teacher, accompanied by his host,
took a walk over a large mountain
farm.
Far down in the valley. rising al
most from the brink Of the Linvile
river, stretched a low range of
foothills. Covering its slopes for an
urea Of almost two hundred acres.
so the Doctor said. nothing could
be seen growing except dense
Jungle Of fern.
We thought il was a beautiful
sight.
"Fern?' "Yes," said the Doctor,
ITS very pretty when it's confined
10 the fowerbed in your front yard
of swinging from an arch Of your
porch columns, but it's a pesky nui-
,ance when it covers your farm"
That was one Of the best thirty
second sermOnettes we had ever
heard. Its truth outmeasured its
length. An American Beauty rose. a
delightful concert we appreciate
them, do we not? But would we be
as appreciative Of them if the noun
lains were covered with roses or
he air were filed with perpetual
music?
Life is checquered with sunshine
and shadow" someone has said.
Isn't it best as it is? The simple
Joys and little pleasures whicn
brighten our days make us far hap
Ecr than we could be if every desire
were fulfilled Longfellow says on

rays of light, are colorless when un-
broken.'r

ON GROWING ONIONS.

Onions. like potatoes. are a staple
crop that Is grown commercially on a
very extensive scale. As general
rule. 1t Is well 10 have the crop follow
some other one that has been kept un-
der the hoe and free from weeds the
previous season.
In the north seed is sown as early In
the spring as the soil can be brought
to the proper condition. In the south
onion sets are frequently put out In
the autumn and carried through the
winter with the protection OF little
hay or straw. There are three meth
DDS OF propagatlng onIons-the FIRST. by
sowing the seed In rows where the
crop is to grow; second. by sowing the
seed In specially prepared beds and
transplanting the seedlings 10 the open
ground, and. third. by planting sets
which have been kept through the win.

commercial growers on account OF the
amount Of labor involved IN the others

preferable to plant sets Under normal
conditions these may usually be OBJ
