he didn't put small advertisement in the local
newspaper to advertise home blend Of coffee

Using He missed lot Of business, Of course, but
there's another side Of it.
Lots Of people who really wanted this particular
brand Of coffee wereunable to get it because no
one ever told them where it was to be had.
You know yourself that it would take you twice as
long to shopf there were no advertisements to guide
you IN your buying. You wouldn't know where
to start. You'd miss lot Of good values just be-
cause no one ever told you about them.

BEREA SHOULD HAVE A
HIGH SCHOOL

II is important that every town
or city should look after its chill
dren. They are the greatest asset
that we have. They are 10 be the
town in few years. They should
profit by our mistakes, improve on
our successes-in fact they are TO
give us a better Berea. We must
make them useful; and TO do this
we must educate them. They are
just beginning when they finish the
grades. They should have oppor-
tunity TO show what they can do.
This can be accomplished by good,
thorough, four-year High School. II
will bring out whatever ability each
one possesses. II will develop them.
Make each an individual instead OF
mass. Train them so that they
will accomplish things, and learn TO
think for themselves.
We have need Of this in Berea
and surrounding country. A greater
part Of our boys and girls do not
go 10 school after they finish the
grades. The main reason is that they
have no place TO go. They cannot
afford TO go to the Academy. Nor
should they, for every child shouiI
have High School education given
IL free by the State. Then only q
few are fortunate enough TO pay
for their education in the college.
In Berea school district we have
enrolled ii3 pupils between 6 and
iS years. We have in the Graded
school 297. l might say that thirty OF
them are outside of the district, leav-
ing 267 children of the district going
TO Public School. Now what be-
comes OF the f67? These are going
to the Training School, and a few
TO the Academy, but the greater
part of those who have finished the
Public School eighth grade are not
going to school at all.
This should not be so. We should
furnish these children the opportu-
nifty Of a good High School. We
have a radius OF seven miles that
should send to a High School in
Berea., IL is our duty TO take up
children within this radius and give
them opportunity TO do the most for
themselves. Berea has too long de-
pended on others 10 educate her
children for her. We must see TO
ii that every child has a right TO
free education-that all within
this seven-mile radius have a chance
to get the best education that the
State Of Kenucky can give them.
Don't you think il worth while TO
educate your children so they can
grow up and make Berea and this
surrounding country a better place
TO live in. Education will do IT,"

CHURCH SURVEY

The Intorchurch World Movement
OF North America, an agency OF the
Protestant denominations Of this
country for the gathering Of sta
stistics and information relative TO
the religious and social conditions
existing in every county in the en-
tire country, has undertaken a sur
vey Of Madison county, with the aid
Of the various churches OF this
county.
The movement does not aim at any
church union or federation, nor does
10 touch upon creeds or affect church
doctrines. II is simply an agency
for securing information which may
be used 10 the advantage OF every
church in the county in forwarding
its work Of bringing the Gospel TO
every man, woman and child in the
limits Of the county. The movement
itself was called into being by the
church boards Of the nation for this
work, and has the endorsement OF
practically every Protestant denomi-
nation.
The pastors and church leaders Of
the county will secure this informa-
ton. As rapidly as possible, o
county council, consisting OF repre-
sentatives from every denomination
in the county, will be organized.
After the necessary data is secur-
ed, it will be sent 10 the headquar-
tiers OF the movement in New York,
where IL will be put into proper
shape. drawing graphic maps Of the
county which will show the-iocation
of all churches, their spheres Of in
fluence, the place Of residence Of the
various pastors in relation TO the
field OF their service, the roads,
railroads and other means Of COM
munication by which the people can
reach their churches, and similar in
formation which will tell at a glance
just how thoroughly the county is
covered by religious influence, and
the areas that are left without such
influence and are in need OF inten-
sive work.
As soon as this Is done, the maps
and statistics will be returned here
and placed in the hands Of the de-
nominational boards, county council
and the various churches TO do with
as seems best 10 them. II will prob
ably reveal conditions which the
churches never fully realized ex-
listed. II will probably show how
the situation can be met in q way
that never before occurred TO those
who have been forwarding the re-
ligious work Of the community.
But whatever program is drawn up
will be done entirely by the churches
OF this county, without dictation
from the Interchurch World Move
ment or any outside influence, al
though the movement will still stand
ready TO render any assistance TO the
local churches.
The survey Of this county will be
pushed 10 an early conclusion, and
any who desire information regard
ing the work which is being under
taken can obtain IL by communicat-
ing with Rev. Howard Hudson, Be-
rea, Ky.

TEE LOCAL PAPER

As our readers well know. and as
our friends who publish papers OF
local circulation know, The Ohio
Farmer appreciates the importance
OF having good local weekly. tri-
weekly or daily newspaper. Dur
ing the war and the subsequent
period prices OF white paper, Of la
Dor and all kinds Of material that go
10 make a publication have increas-
ed so rapidly that they have kept
about two jumps ahead Of the pub
lishors's income. Many publica-
tons OF local circulation have been
'"~ced 10 discontinue, at least tenn
arily. This is unfortunate for
publisher; but II is more unfor-
ate for the community. With
good local paper what chan
| is there for the news OF town
d surrounding country? What
eater asset can a town have than
good wide-ewake, progressive.
honest and fearless newspaper TO
keep its people informed as 10 the
local goings on and 20 help mold
local public opinion7 The people OF
places where publications have
been compelled 10 discontinue
should use every effort TO get these
local papers on their feet again: and
those which have kept going. but
which may be making a valiant
struggle TO keep their heads above
the surface OF the economic puddle,
should have the cordial support Of
the public and the advertisers who
seek the trade OF the locality. With
all OF their increased expenses IL has
not been possible for many consci-
entious publishers 10 enlarge their
income without taking arbitrary
steps and many OF them are men OF
such moral caliber that they hesi-
tate 10 do this lest IL weaken their
influence for good in the future.
Help build up and maintain a good
local paper The world news is i'm
portant, and can be had from the
city dailies; but OF the news that
centers in your town stamping
ground and your own hopfe circle
the local newspaper is the only
source.-The Ohio Farmer.

CULTIVATE THRIFT

The habit Of thrift tends to give
clear eyes, coed digestion, efficient
muscles. Young people, especially,
should economic, always remem-
bering that we should have every
thing we really need. II is folly
to skimp in eating for the sake Of
saving, or TO wear dowdy raiment.
Have what you need, but do not buy
things you do not need. But there
is a joy in going without things

A CLUB FOR BEREA GIRLS

The Echo Club, composed OF the
young girls OF Berea, met at the
home Of Mrs. George Dick, Monday
evening. November ~, 1919, and
rendered their first program.
This club was organised October
q, 1919 under the supervision Of the
Progress Club. II met at the home
OF Mrs. s. n. Baker, and there Mrs.
Matheny spoke on the value Of q
club for Berea girls. About thirty
girls we're present.
The name suggests great things TO
be done, for, If there are TO be
echoes coming back, the sound must
first be produced. Mrs. Burdette
suggested the name. The next meet
ing will be held at the home Of Mrs.
Coddington's on Center street, Mon
day evening, December 1. 1919, from
$50 TO 800. II is greatly desired
that all girls OF Berea join them
selves TO this club. And every girl
will be most heartily welcomed.
The following production by one
Of the girls tells what the club
stands for.
The Purpose Of the Club
In the very beginning Of our club
II is well 10 set q goal or aim toward
which we may strive. This may DO
called our purpose.
The literary training that we oh
tain will be Of great value. We will
sing, play, and recite. These are
the things that are demanded OF us
learn 10 prepare and read a paper,
outside Of our society. We will be
able 10 arrange our program so rs
10 keep up with the literary world
outside. We will be preparing our
selves for work in Progress Club,
like our mother club, that alone
should be sufficient inspiration.
One OF the greatest demands made
upon our present day civilization is
the ability 10 do efficient team work.
To do this we have 10 learn 10 CO.
operate with our fellow-workers.
We must put the best we have with
the best the others have. So this
club is going TO stand for unity.
Very closely related 10 unity
comes friendship. We are all in
the age OF forming life friendships.
The value OF friendship is useful
ness. A true friend is a person up
on whom you can freely call when
you are in need. We are going TO
form such friendships in this club.
One Of the greatest secrets OF sue
cess is good cheer. More can be
gained in an hour Of hearty laugh
ing than a day OF arguing. With
out a sense Of humor you can not
successfully go through life. So let
us develop a sense OF humor and
grow fat. One OF the sorest needs Of
Berea girls is who esome fun. An
idea can be planted in an evening
entertainment which will soon grow
10 be an ideal.
So let our watchword be useful
ness; and I am sure that we will
accomplish our purpose, namely
lift the ideals OF our town TO a
higher plane.-Anita Golden.
