prospects as TO the affairs of our
country and the world. In my last

that the League Of Nations would

Of Nations will he much discussed
beween now and November. But
even thus, il remains true that in a
formal way the League, as such.
is not the issue in the campaign.
Each party has avoided any such
concrete and explicit statement Of
views as TO indicate just what will
be its policy if victorious. This was
necessary in order 10 harmonic the
different schools Of thought within
party lines. The natural result will
be that, when this subject comes up
TO be acted upon by a new President
and a largely changed Senate. there
will he marked differences Of indi-
vidual opinion in each party, as
there has been in the past. And
any partisan, Senator or otherwise,
can point 10 some declaration in his
party's platform as justification OF
his course.
The Democrats applaud the course
and policies Of President Wilson.
They commit themselves TO favoring
the League OF Nations but they do
mot oppose the acceptance Of any
reservations making clearer or more
specific the obligations OF the
United States to the League associ-
ates." The Republicans do not de-
clare against any sort of League.

and I merely placed a one dollar
bill on ours, and thought, IL Is
easy enough TO tell that Mr.. Hackett
and Osborne work in the Treas
urer's Office by the size Of the bills
they carry. q do not mean TO say
that their breakfast cost $500, even
though Mr.. Osborne did have cup
of coffee.
After this bountiful repast, Mr..
Hackctt and I took the train for
Chicago, having said goodbye TO
the other folks. I could easily see
that the tie of friendship between
Mr. Osborne and Mr.. Hackett was Of
the highest type. which will last
through the ages, each bidding the
other Godspeed.
Our train left Cincinnati at 900
a. m. and reached Chicago al TAO
p. M. a distance of 1903 miles. The
trip was long. dirty and warm, but
a pleasant one for Mr.. Hackett, as he
expected 10 meet his wife and baby
at Chicago. On The way stood on
the rear platform for awhile looking
over the beautiful level fields of
corn, wheat and oats, hundreds Of
acres of grain which one could see
for miles on either side. Inciden-
tally | timed the mile posts as they
passed by and found that we were
travelling at the rate of a mile in
fifty seconds, which was going some.
I thought, too, Of the story Of Pat,
who when hearing of the danger
that so often came 10 the last car
Of the train said, why don't they
leave the last car OFF," While
standing there I talked with an
engineer from out east, who said he
had two brothers living in Alberta,
Canada, who sold enough wheat to
clear 100000 in one years time.
How is that for a wheat crop? DR..
Cowley and I expect to see some of
those wheat fields soon.
I only had forty minutes TO

A LETTER FROM Mr.. DICK
July %. 1920.


Friend Readers Of The Citizen:
Dear Friends:
have been trying to get away
from Berea for the last twenty years
for a short time. and have at last
been able TO make a start.
I drove TO the station at Berea
at 3 o'clock last Wednesday after
noon and purchased my ticket for
Chicago, which cost me si2.i2. Mr..
Mullen told me the fast train was
on time. returned home, changed
clothes and got ready for the SOB
train and again drove TO the sta
ton and was told that the train
was thirty minutes late. Well, that
wasn't so bad, but a little later I
was told that the train would be
two hours late, so had plenyt OF
time TO so back up town and have
supper with Mrs. Phamy Davis and
she even had plenty of time TO make
hot biscuits for supper.
We then again returned TO the
station and waited for the train
that finally came. but was three
hours and forty-five minutes late.
As we only had two hours and
thirty minutes 10 make our train in
Cincinnati even il the train was on
time, I knew that we would have
the pleasure Of staying over night
in Cincinnati. Mr.. Mullen was
right when he said that the 500
train was a fast one. for IL got fast
on the track somewhere near Liv-
ingston and could not get loose for
quite spell. the engine threw a tire
and had TO stop, being unable TO go
further. That is the first time I
ever knew that engines had TO be
delayed by 'blow-outs." However,
I had good companions in my mis-
cry, (waiting for the train, as
President Hutchins, Mr.. Osborne,
and Mr.. Hackett were there too. I
suppose the train wanted TO keep
Mr.. Hackett in town as long as pos
sible, as he was leaving Berea for
a visit at his home for few weeks,
thence to the mission field for seven
years in Japan.
On the journey TO Cincinnati, I
found President Hutchins TO be a
mighty fine fellow-traveler. an con-
firmed my belief in him being
man worth knowing and having in
Berea. OF course, you all know that
Mr.. Osborne and Hackett are the
best sort Of folks. They kept us in
a good humor. even though we were
staying up rather late for young
folks.
We finally reached Cincinnati
about 2:30 Thursday morning and
went to the Grand Hotel, which was
too grand for Hackett and me. Mr..
Osborne and Pres. Hutchins get
ting their last room, and as stated
by Mr.. Osborne, you could easily
tell it was their last room, as they
slept above the street cars. Mr..
Hackett and | had TO take taxi and
go over TO the Havlin Hotel, where
we had two fine beds, bath and
four hours sleep. The folks there
were so kind as to have town clock
about one-half block away, which
we could see from our bed next
morning and know when TO get up.
Neither Mr.. Hackett or myself felt
any discomforts when we fell asleep
and both woke up in good humor
and went down to the Grand Hotel
where we took breakfast with presi-
dent Hutchins and Mr.. Osborne.
After eating a good breakfast
noticed Mr.. Osborne and Hackett |
both placed five dollar bill on their
