TIE GAME

The College and Academy football
teams met for the hrst game Of the
season on Main Athletic Field AZ
2'3o Monday afternoon. Light
showers during the morning had put
the field in excellent condition. The
attendance was smaller than usual.
The College rooters were well or
ganized and gave their team proper
support.
The Academy received the kick
OF, which Raine returned Is Yards.
An attempt around left end failed.
On the second play a pass from Har-
ris to Lewis brought 30 yards. A
series OF line plays carried the ball
to the College goal line, and Roark
took the ball across for the first
touchdown. Lewis kicked goal. Dur
ing the remainder Of the half play
was confined 10 mid-feld.
In the third quarter Fields re-
ceived pass from Robertson and
with perfect interference by his team
mates ran go yards for a touchdown.
Carpenter kicked goal. For the rest
OF the game the spectators were kept
on their toes. The Academy, re-
ceiving the kick again. threatened
once more TO march down the field.
When the College held firm on the
20-yard line, Lewis tried drop kick,
which went wide. From this point
the College took the initiative. BY
straight line plays and couple sue
cessful forward passes the ball was
carried to the Academy s-yard line.
After failing 10 reach the Academy
line. the College tried a place-kick,
which was blocked. Two other at
tempted place-kicks were also blocked.
The game ended with the bali IN
possession OF the College.
Both teams were noticably weak
In punting and in running around
the ends. Fields for the College and
Roark for the Academy were consis-
tent ground gamers. Altf Ngh
neither side used the forward> rass

Probably the most suspicious oc.

then as supervisor Of rural education

for himself as County Superintendent

audience was comfortably seated in
the Chapel and the long line Of rep
resentatives Of more than thirty-fve
colleges and universities Of America
flied onto the platform. our student
body was inspired as they have never
been before. Representatives OF
Harvard, Yale, Oberlin, Kentucky
State University. Tennessee Univer-
sity, and many other large schools,
besides n number Of our most impor-
tant mountain schools, received an
appropriate welcome from Rev VIM.

Another alumnus who brought from
the audience hearty handclapping
as he stepped upon the platform was
Rev. Elmer A. Gabbard, representing
witherspoon College. Mr.. Gabbard
is one Of our most illustrious noun
tain students, coming from Owsley
County. He is today giving his life
in the service Of the mountains at
Buckhorn, Perry County. Mr.. Cab

II marks the beginning Of q new era
in Kentucky and for all the country.
for the idea will be taken up BY
other states and the work will 20
on until the curse and shame Of IL
literacy have been lifted from every
state in the Union"
As one mentions education, one
dare not omit the sorrowful, glori-
GUS education incident to the war.
We were visiting a home In the
North Carolina mountains. Behind
the house, on a little knoll, sur
rounded by a fence, and decorated
daily with new flowers, was q grave
with a granite monument to a son
Of the house, one Of our boys who
gave his life for his country in the
Great War. All through the noun
tains one will see the corded hats Of
the soldiers, the khaki uniforms with
the symbols Of overseas divisions. In
our own school at this moment are
some twenty-five men, mostly from
the mountains who bear the marks
of poison gas or of the enemy's bull
lets and shells. On the window OF
many a mountain home may still be
seen the poster Of the Red Cross or
the Liberty Loan, to which the home
subscribed. Thousands of families
whose horizons had been bounded
by the hills over which the sun rose
and set have found themselves in a
land of far distances. And women,
grooming over their babies before
the great hreplaces Of their cabins,
have, at the same time, walked with
their boys in the midst of "the mud
and the blood and the blasphemy" of
the Argonne and San Mihiel.
Now these changes-economic, le-
gal and educational-mean that we
who work in Berea today inhabit 4
world and minister to a world radi-
cally different from that in which
our predecessors lived, even a score
Of years ago. Adaptation, which has
been the very watchword Of Berea,
will force upon us changes Of en-
phasis and possible changes Of
method. For example, the economic
changes may constrain us greatly 20
improve our scientific equipment;
while economy may constrain us to
unity all of our equipment in such
fashion as to avoid duplication.
Again, these same changes may
very well force us to develop
the work offered in Motor Me-
chanies and Electrical Engineer
ing. The demands Of the new
populations of the mining centers may
compel us to emphasize increasingly
our courses in Horticulture, especial
ly in Market Gardening; and
more than this. may demand that we
provide for these mining centers
not alone welfare secretaries paid
by the mining companies but
free servants of the common good,
who shall give their lives to the
people in social sanitation, health
conservation, community building.
These changes which have already

tous economic changes are coming le-
gal and educational changes Of revo-
lutionary Importance. National pro-
hibition, doubtless has meant, so
far, a great increase in lawlessness,
but when enforced will ultimately
mean an enormous saving of money
to the mountains and new sobriety
The introduction Of Women's Suf-
frage may we'll mean a distinct
strengthening and elevation Of the
position Of the women of the noun
tains who, not seldom, have borne the
heavier end Of the cross of loneliness,
poverty, drudgery on the mountain
farms.
The laws passed recently in almost
all of our mountain states, enforcing
free education for all children, COM
pulsory attendance for all children, a
heightened period Of schooling each
year, a sweeping advance in the re-
quirements Of teachers in the public
schools; the erection Of Smith
Hughes high schools in our county
seats-these are prophetic Of a new
world rounding into form.

Pensacola Man, Engineer of
Army Transport, to Bring the
Ship to Florida West Coast

Leon K. Pulliam, Pensacola boy
has been appointed engineer OF the
concrete army transport, the Col. j. Il
Sawyer, one of two ships of this class
which have been commissioned for duty
as a transport on river duty. Seven
other concrete transports were con-
tracted for in June, 1918, and of these,
six have been launched. They VIII all
be completed and commissioned within
the next few months, it has been an
nounced.
The boats are 130 feet long, with
28-foot beam. The initial cost OF con-
structing the boats is s235'5S4, ana
the construction is made in much less
time than the wooden or steel SHIPS.
They have a contract speed of 10 miles
an hour. They are equipped with two
sets of Diesel internal CONFUSION en-
gines and can develop $50 horsepower.
The Col. Sawyer is on duty on the
Potomac river and will ply regularly
between Washington and the coast de-
fense posts at Fort Washington, Nd,
going down as far as the chesapeake
bay when necessary. Mr.. Pulliam
writes that he expects to bring one
of the boats to the west coast of Flor
ida shortly. He has been in that SER
vice for about IA years.

BAPTISTS WILL
GUARD PASTORS
Make Plans to Protect Them in
Their Declining Years;
More Pay Also Asked.

Washington, May 14.-Baptist min
listers of the south were insured against
want in their declining years by the
Southern Baptist Convention today,
which adopted the recommendation of
it's relief and annuity board presented
by DR.. William Lunsford, of Dallas,
Texas.
Pastors of Baptist churches must have
larger salaries if they are to do their
best work and the churches are to
serve the human family as they should,
declared the annual report of the Lay
mems Missionary movement Of the
Southern Baptist Convention, as pre-
sented to the convention today by DR..
j. T. Henderson, general secretary.
While the Laymen's Movement has
been in existence for IL years and has
for it's objects the bringing about of
greater religious activity on the part
of the lay members of the churches, a
special program has been formulated
for better payment of pastors, adop-
ton of the 1.-THE as the minimum of
giving to religious purposes and en-
couragement of men of means to make
bequests to religious institutions and
causes.
Much activity on the part Of men
identified with the Laymen's Move
ment in the IS million campaign was
reported by the general secretary.
Twenty-e -eight members of the execu-
tive committee of that organization
contributed $444,870 to the causes rep
resented in the campaign. Local and
general members of the committee
were active in every phase of the cam
paign, while the general secretary
travelled twelve states in it's behalf,
and assisted the men of more than a
dozen cities of the south in the or
ganization Of active mems unions.
Many laymen who had never been
active in religious work were reached
in that way and became leaders in the
promotion of the denominational pro-,
gram.
The committee on arrangements
recommended Chattanooga for the next
meeting place of the Baptists. Action
on the report was postponed until to-
morrow.
s General secretaries Of the convention
boards were elected as follows: DIR.
J. F. Love, Richmond, foreign mission
board; DR.. D. D. Gray, Atlanta. home
mission; DR.. I. J. Van Ness, Nashville,
Sunday school; DR.. Lunsford, relief
and annuity; DR.. j. T. Henderson,
laymen's missionary move
ment; DR.. w. C. James, Richmond,
Baptist education.
Mrs. w. c. James, president, and
the entire list of officers of the
Woman's Missionary Union was re-
elected.

ACQUIT GROCER
in SUGAR CASE
Alexander Collins Is Found Not
Guilty of Wilfully Charging
Unreasonable Profit.
JUDGE MAKES RULING
Holds That Replacement Value
Must Not Be Considered Ex-
cept as for Motive.

Alexander Collins, grocer at Tara
gona and Chase-sts., was acquitted by
jury in the United States District
court yesterday Of charge Of profi-
teering in sugar, specifically with
making a profit of i2 cents a pound.
The evidence showed that Collins
charged negro boy 81 cents a pound
for sugar on April % and on the day
before and the day after sold to white
men at % cents a pound. The gov
ernment contended that he took ad-
vantage Of the negro boys ignorance
to make an excessive charge.
The defense was that Collins called
up the wholesalers on the day he made
the 80 cent sale and found that sugar
had advanced to &c cents wholesale
and that he believed he had a right to
charge a reasonable profit over the
current wholesale price.
In charging the jury Judge Sheppard
directed that the current or replace
ment value of sugar must not be taken
into account except as determining the
wilfulness of the offense. He held that
the Lever act, under which the case
was brought was intended to prevent
from taking advantage of q
rising market to speculate and that the
reasonableness Of a charge must be
based on its relation to the purchase
price. ., ,.-

Washington, May 14.-Taxation OF

committee as new plan for raising
a part of the money for proposed
soldier relief legislation. Final action
is expected to be taken tomorrow

Strong opposition to the stock divi-
dends tax developed among republi-
cans but those favoring it said its
passage is assured. 1t has been de-
cided to limit the cash bonus to $500
payable $50 quarterly.
The house failed today to override
the presidents veto Of the legislative,

bills. The vote was ITO to 135.
Washington, May 14.-Arrangements
for the senate's vote at 4 p. m. tomor-
row on the republican peace resolu-
ton were completed tonight with It's
adoption and veto later by the presi-
dent foregone conclusions, according
to leaders of both parties.
The presidents veto message is ex-
pected to define more clearly the cam
paign issue on questions of peace ana
the treaty of Versailles.
Democratic leaders predicted the
treaty will not be returned to the SEN
ate with the veto message but that
the president will outline more ex-
tensively his position in the veto mes
sage and thus let matters ''go to the
country"
