FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

A very sad accident occurred Sat
urday evening on the Lexington pike,
near Richmond, when the car Of Wal
lace Gilbert turned turtle. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilbert were in the car and their
bother, Joe Gilbert. The men were
thrown out Of the car and escaped
serious injury, though they were bad
~ shaken up. Mrs. Gilbert was
caught under the car and seriously
hurt, though it was thought that she
would recover. She seemed to be inn
proving and was able on Tuesday to
sit with the family at the table. Her
condition became Suddenly worse
Tuesday evening from some internal
injury and she lived but a short
time.
Mrs. Gilbert was the daughter OF
June C. Armstrong on the Dixie
Highway and a sister to Mrs. Joe
Gilbert. She was widely known and
loved, and her death came not only
as a great shock to her many friends
but as a distinct loss to the commu'

COMMUNITY LEAGUE
Extends Invitation TO Berea Organi-
cations and Groups 20 Form
Community Council

The Civic League Of Berea, which
has rendered such useful serv-
ice to the community in the past, has
reorganized and is starting on a
further career of usefulness. The
constitution has been revised, includ-
ing the change in name from the
Civic League to the Community
League. The aim Of the organization
will be to cooperate with existing
agencies in working for all progress
sive movements and in looking after
such needs as are not included in the
programs of organizations already at
work.
At a meeting held in the Baptist
Church last Sunday afternoon the
constitution printed below was adopt
ed. II is reproduced here TO remind
the community what the League
stands for. All are invited and
urged to join. IL means progress
and Improvement for Berea. The
first regular monthly meeting will
be held Tuesday evening, October 5
at 1880, in the Baptist church, un'
less other announcements are made
to the contrary.
Special attention is called to Ar.
ticle 6. Many students Of affair
in Berea have recognized the need
Of a coordination of the efforts OF
the various working groups working
for the improvement of the commu.
nifty. Berea is not alone in this
situation. Every village and city in
the country has had the experience
of finding itself overworked in some
fields and overlooked in others be-
cause each group has been content
to go il alone without regarding the
plans and efforts of other people
Moreover, the pet project of many
an organization has failed when, fol
the good of the community, it should
have succeeded because those outside
the organization regarded it as none
Of their business and did not gel
behind it. The Community Council
furnishes way by which every
project worthy of the community
effort will have the backing Of al
the organizations and all the peo
pie, so far as such a thing is posi-
BILE at all.
II is hoped by the Community
League that the most careful con
sideration will be given the plan b!
every organization in Berea. A com
mittee has been appointed to exten'
the invitation to the various organi
cation and groups and to explain Il
them fully what it lis intended ant
hoped to accomplish.

JACKSON COUNTY SCHOOLS AND
AGRICULTURAL FAIRS

School and agricultural fairs were
held in Jackson county last week,
beginning Monday and ending Satur.
day. A fair was held in each educa-
tional division. These fairs were
successful beyond anything that the
promoters had expected. Not only
was there large crowds Of people, but
the exhibits were fine, and the spirit
that the people showed was very
commendable.
No less than 1900 persons left
their homes and their work and
gathered at their respective fairs.
The day was spent in looking at the
displays Of fruits, vegetables, grains,
live stock, needle work, etc, and in
watching the professions of children
and patrons from the schools of the
division. II is needless to say that
there was an abundance of good
things to eat when the noon hour
came.
The managing editor Of The Citi-
zen had the pleasure Of attending
four Of these fairs and getting ac-
quainted with the good people. A
full report cannot be given this week,
as we have not received list Of the
prize-winners. We hope TO have this
for next week and at that time shall
have more to say about the impress
sion that these fairs made on us.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Its Organization
Prof. J. II, Robertson

The series Of articles Of which this
is the fourth is not being written
with the thought or purpose Of in
fuencing votes one way OF the other.
The writer is taking the opportunity
TO explain. as well as he is able, the
greatest proposition which has ever
been submitted to the American peo-
pie and that is a far higher aim.
The Covenant Of the League itself
Is the authority for all statements
and 1t, alone, is the only source from
which correct and reliable views may
be had.
To secure international cooperation
and TO achieve international peace
and security" machinery Of organ
ization is necessary. As was shown
In the last article the Covenant Of
the League provides for an "inter-
national court Of Justice" perman-
ent in its nature and superior to any
thing previously in existence.
Behind this court stands the
League ready to make its DEGREES
effective and to supplement its work
in a multitude of ways. The court
Of justice as planned could not exist
except for the League. Every effort
in the past to create such a perman-
ent court has failed because there
was no method found for selecting
the judges. The jealousies Of ma
tons toward one another prevented.

into an Assembly and a Council has
