ic senator's Saturday to select a

. CHRISTMAS SING
AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Carol Singing Is Being Revived
And Custom viii Be Observed
Here Dec. 2lst.

A movement to revive the Eng
lish custom of carol singing was in
augurated in the city of Detroit
three years ago, groups of men and
women, boys and girls marching thro
the streets and stopping for song
whenever the signal light appeared
in the window. Last year in this
same city, the number Of carolers had
grown to 10000 and a collection tor
the destitute families amounted to
thousands Of dollars. Many of the
smaller towns have fallen in line and
today the National Federation Of
Music Clubs, of which Mrs. F. A
Seiberling, Of Akron, Ohio, is presi-
dent and the National Musical Bureau
of New York City, are urging the
adoption of the custom everywhere.
The condition of the streets in Rich
mond makes it impossible at this
time to attempt to follow OFT this ex-
cellent idea, and the musical clubs.
of which Mrs. B. L. Middleton is
state president, in conjunction with
the pastors of the various churches
have decided to pursue the plan of
many former years and hold a union
service in one of the churches. This
service will be held in the First
Christian church Sunday night, Dec.
21st at seven o'clock and the public
is cordially invited to be present and
join in the singing Of familiar Christ
mas hymns. There will also be
special music of anthems and solos
and the girls and boys of Caldwell,
under the direction of Miss Nellie
Hill will contribute carol. Come
and fill every seat in the auditorium
and balcony and get real Christmas
spirit in full.

Working Man Now Wears
Best Tailored Clothes
(By Associated Press)

Cincinnati, o., Dec. l8-Men's
styles in the future, as them en-
mate from the shops of the mer-
chant tailors, may be dictated by
the tastes of the plumber the far
mer, the milk wagon driver. They
and their fellow workers have be-
come patrons of merchant tailor
ing, and they think nothing Of
paying high price for a suit, ac-
cording to Chris Z. Krieger, pres
ident of the Cincinnati Merchant
Tailor Designers Association.
"The past few years have
brought a decided change in the
patronage OF the merchant tall
or" he said, in announcing that
the subject would be discussed at
the national convention of the
Merchant Tailor Designers AS
ISOLATION, to be held here Febru-
airy 3 to 6. "We still have the
business man, but there is a new
clientele. We have won the pat
ronage of the skilled mechanic,
and he is not particular how high
priced are the suits he orders. He
wants the best. To a lesser ex-
tent, we find the farmer develop
ing, as class, into a patron Of
merchant tailoring. He wants hiss
Sunday suit well tailored; and his
tastes run mostly to subdued col
ors."

Mr.. LANCE told the Associated Press
correspondent that in Poland alone
the American Relief Administration
was now feeding about 100000
children.
ave expect, he said, "to do some
relief work in Germany before long
especially here in Danzig. There is
very little milk in this district for
children, and meat, sugar and fats
are also scarce.
"Danzig will soon be free city
and, as Poland's port, is more polish
the German. At the present time the
German government bears the ex-
pensc Of importing most of the
foreign foodstuffs and sells it a. a
price which the people can afford t.
pay. This arrangement will cease
soon, and think there will be urgent
need then of help"

.RESENTs CRITICISM
OF BEREA CLASS
Keeper Roberts of Poor Farm
Says 1t Is First He Ever Had
and He Invites Inspection

Mr.. L. r. Roberts, keeper of the
poor farm near Unio.i, and many Of
his neighbors resent criticism of the
management of the poor farm, as
made by the Red Cross Class of Berea
College. Neighbors and prominent
citizens of that community say that Mr..
Roberts is giving splendid service, and
doing everything that is necessary fer
the care and comfort of his unfor-
tunate guests. All speak in nigh
terms Of him and his work. Col j.
r. Dunbar, who has been receiver for
IA years, testifies in strong terms to
the good treatment and food the
inmates receive. Mr.. Roberts thinks
also that the Berea College class did
not give him fair treatment in its
criticism. He says that this is the
first time he has ever been criticised
or condemned by anyone, and ne is
anxious for anyone to visit the farm
and see TIE work that is done there
and how he conducts the institution.
He has given the Daily Register the
following statement in reply to the
Berea College Class criticism:
Editor of Daily Register:
There appeared in your paper sew
eral days ago, reproduction of an
article published by the Berea Citizen,
concerning visit made by the Red
Cross of Berea College, to the Coun-
ty poor farm, and the county Jail.
and as keeper of the former, desire
to correct, and refute some of the
statements made by the members Of
the Red Cross Class. They stated
conditions found at the poor farr,
we're not as satisfactory as might be
desired, ard that number of the in
mates are not receiving the care that
they should, and naming boy who
has tuberculosis, as one of the IN
mates not receiving the proper care.
unfortunately, the poor farm has NJ
special place to confine a case of this
kind, but the very best that can he
done for this unfortunate boy is be-
ing done. He has daily medical at
tcntion, and / feel sure that he will
testify that he gets all the care neces-
sary to his comfort, as far as his
physical condition permits. 81 -
The intimation made by the Red
Cross Class that the inmates are not
given sufficient food, is absolutely
without fact and foundation, and ami
willing to leave this question to any
inmate of the institution who docs
not bear a grievance against me While
the land at the poor farm is not very
productive, for which l am not re-
sponsible, l raised one of the best
gardens in the county the past year,
having raised $500 heads of cab
bage, 100 bushels of sweet potatoes.
and other things in proportion.
We have also put up 125 gallons Of
blackberries, for winter use, and we
milk three good cows, and the inmates
are given all the butter they need. |
feel safe in the belief the the poor
farm inmates are fed as well as
the Berea College feeds its students
and / hope that if the fiscal court
ever moves the county farm that it
will not move it towards Berca. ]
invite inspection of the poor farm by
the public at all times, but ! expect
and demand, that the truth be told
concerning me, in the management
thereof.
