NORMAL WINS THREE IN "A ROW

Normal will play in the basket
ball championship series again this
year. That was decided by their
victory over Academy Monday after
noon. Academy, having lost three
straight, is now out OF the final
series.
Normal began by defeating Foun-
dation; next they walloped voca-
tional, % TO IS; and they finished
by taking the Academy's scalp in
hard fought game. The amusing
thing about it is, that the last two
victories Of Normal were won over
teams who had already counted
Normal out of the race. And talk
of enthusiasm Normal is simply
bubbling over with it. The whole
almost four hundred
strong, presents a united front In
staunch support OF their team.

PRESIDENT FROST WRITES
Dear Fellow Citizens:

Dear Fellow Citizens:
write from Nashville, metropolis
Of West Tennessee. This is the seat
Of Vanderbilt University, and eight
miles north is the sanitarium con-
Quoted by our good friend, DR..
Sutherland, who lectured on health
in Berea at the opening of the term.
We were here two years ago at
this time and the ground across the
river from the Sanitarium was just
being surveyed for a powder mill
to be erected by the Duponts. The
next June they were making pow
der at so great a rate that the Ger
mans were convinced the Americans
were in earnest 10 win the war.
The works extend up and down the
river, through the wide bottom, for
seven miles and cost $50 millions.
Now they seem a loss, but part will
be used for the making of automo-
biles.
We all hope we shall get what we
fought fora secure peace founded
upon a League Of Nations. II is
surely disappointing TO have Amer
lea behind the rest in this great en-
terprise.
notice that Rhode Island and
, New Jersey are proposing TO secede
because of the Prohibition Amend
ment while Virginia and South Car
DINA stand by the Union. We think
the Union is safe and the cutting
out of liquor is already wonderful
in its effects in increasing the COM
forts of life and the worlds best
business. This is a particularly
good time for people who have been
a little free in the use Of liquor to
swear of"
This is Berea's crowded time. We
hope everybody will be good ma
tured and that the older students
will see that new students are well
coined and made TO feel at home.
And we hope that there will be hard
studying in every students room.
To learn how to study is the biggest
part of education, and as an incen-
tive to this are all our recitations
and public exercises.
We hope The Citizen will keep
home folks well informed about
what goes on in Berea so that they
will share the good things.

Yours truly,

A Word from the Managing Editor

We hereby wish TO apologize for
the way in which the Annual De-
bate was reported last week. II is
not our purpose 10 reflect in any
way on the debaters of the mega
tive. We did not mean TO omit a
very important item. that is, that
the negative won, and won by a
unanimous decision of the judges.
And our own personal opinion is
that the decision was correct, and
we should have been surprised if
the decision had been in any way
different from what il was. Fur
thermOre, we are not partial to
either society. We consider that
all debaters on both sides showed
great argumentative ability. They
compare mighty well with debaters
OF some of our colleges and univer-
sites that have 5000 and more stu
dents.

WITH REGARD TO THE ANNUAL
DEBATE

D6bAIk
An article published in The Cit
izen Of last week, on the Annual
Debate, has made the impression In
the minds Of some folks that the
negative speakers refused 10 allow
a summary Of their argument 10
appear in print, along with that OF
the Affirmative. We wish IL 10 be
clearly understood that we had no
objection TO the publication OF our
speeches, either in whole or in
part. We feel that any argument
which we could present before an
audience Of more than fifteen hum
dred people, and win unanimous
decision over that Of the affirma-
tive, would be capable of standing
any criticism which might come
from the readers Of The Citizen.
We did not refuse 10 turn in our
summary TO the printing Office, nor
did we hesitate 10 allow il 10 ap-
pear with that OF the Affirmative
but the man TO whom the duty was
assigned failed TO comply with the
request in time TO get on the press.
According 10 the argument Of the
negative, the following things were
brought out:
The first speaker made 1t plain
that the question under discussion,
was not one Of unionism, but the
enforcement of the Closed Shop;
that the negative had no fight TO
make on labor or labor organiza-
tions and did not question the right
of laborers TO organize for their
benefit, but proved by the Report
of the Commission on Industrial
Relations, that less than IS per cent
of The industrial workers Of our
country were in unions, and argued
that it would be unjust to force
more than rs per cent into closed
shop organization against their will.
He further contended that IL would
be detriment to the unions to force
a discordant element Of more than
rs per cent into their ranks. Tho
opposition TO the closed shop by the
strongest labor organizations in the
United States, was shown by state
ments from leaders OF different or
included in the Rail-
road Brotherhoods.
Mr. Fielder, as second speaker,
continued the argument by proving
that the introduction of the closed
shop would be disastrous TO the in
terest Of the employer because Of
the practices Of organized labor in
the use of material; re-
stricting the number Of apprentices;
by the limitation OF output; and the
use OF the sympathetic strike.
Mr.. Johnson, in concluding the
proved that the system
would be unsafe, because of the
radical tendencies Of labor leaders;
and because of the loss Of control
by the American Federation OF La
Dor over its local organizations; and
Unsafe because Of the jurisdictional
strife and other unwarranted prac-
ices resorted to by the unions; a
system which has been condemned
~ our government and recognized
Is futile by labor leaders them
elves. /

LEAP YEAR SOCIAL

Method: Leap Year process.
Apparatus: Diamond rings. nit
tens, peanuts. pop corn, candy, mu-
sic and an eloquent flow OF Ian
guage.
Process: Monday evening, Janu-
airy 10th, the Senior girls OF the vo-
cational Department gave a social
for the Senior boys in the girls
gymnasium. The girls first showed
their bravery by making dates with
the boys, something the boys had
failed to do on previous occasions.
They called for the boys at the Y.
VI. C. A. Recreation Room Of the In
dusirial building and escorted them
safely to the gymnasium. II was
surprising>to see how skillful they
were when turning the corners and
always keeping on the outside OF
the walk. The social was started
by Miss Clara Terrill, the chairman
Of the program committee, by Civ
ing each boy a quotation and sew
eral pairs Of pink mittens. The
girls then gave a two-minute talk
to each of the boys on their vari-
Gus subjects and in this time they
were TO propose TO the boys. II
Miss Baldwin, the English teacher,
could have heard some OF their
speeches she would no doubt raise
their grades. II was surprising 10
know how much could be said in
such a short time, and some were
so skilled that they made about five
proposals in ten minutes. II the
boy accepted, ring was then
placed on his left hand, and II he
refused he gave the girl one Of the
mittens. Miss Eunice Darr was the
lady who received the highest num-
her Of mittens, and Miss Bessie Par
tee won the championship OF this
contest by making more proposals
than any other girl. After this
games were played. such as the
Jolly Miller in which all took an &C
tive part The refreshments were
then served and they hastily dis
posed Of them for the girls had 10
take the boys 10 their dormitories
by nine o'clock.
Results: A jolly good time was
enjoyed by all. Each Of the boys
were enlightened by the informa-
ton they received. Since then
most of our senior boys have
reached a more mature age, and
have come TO realize what Leap
Year means. They left in fine spir-
its congratulating themselves upon
having had so many proposals, and
especially TO have the lady OF their
choice express herself.
Those present were;
Miss Osa Miller, Mr.. Goldie Reedy.
Miss Piner Cambell, Mr.. Inez Swan.

GOOD ROADS AND
MOTOR TRUCKS

No man in the United States, prob
ably, has had better opportunities for
understanding the transportation con-
i!itions than William G. NcAdoo. He
recently made this significant state
ment as to the relative Importance of
motor trucks and highways as COM
pared with railroads:
81 heartily approve of every
measure or effort to promote good
roads throughout the United States
and to enlarge the usefulness of the
motor truck in order to increase
needed transportation facilities in the
country. This is highly important to
business and industry Of all kinds and
especially to the farmers of the Uni
ted States. The country has out
grown our railroad facilities and it
will be long time before railroads
can be brought up to the needs of the
country. The most practicable, as well
as the most immediate, relief that can
be provided is through good roads
and the motor truck"

ONE GOOD BILL

While the late Republican Cong
ress did some things that ought not
to have been done and left undone
many things that ought to have been
done the water power bill was one
crcditablc thing done.
According to Secretary Lane, this
bill will be of vast benefit to the
country. The legislature will enable
the government to control the flood
waters, large and small streams and
to develop much needed hydro-elec-
trio power. This power can be gen
Grated and distributed to industries,
towns and railroads. As Shakespeare
remarked, GIVE the devil his due"
this much we can give to the late
lamented Republican Congress, "a
Congress "unwept, unhonored and
unsung."

then, too, you will be in Washington

and often leave them weak. For weak
kidneys-well read what faithful
user says:

and it settled in my kidneys and made
my back lame and sore. I could
hardly hend over and when I did so,
my back panied terribly. l felt tired
and languid and my nerves were in
awful shape. At times I would be
dizzy and my sight would blur. Nights
the kidney secretions would pass too
often, although they were scanty and
caused burning sensation. When
heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, used
them. After had taken the first box,
l had fine relief and four boxes cured
me of all the kidney complaint"

THE FEDERAL FARM
LOAN SITUATION: TWO
THINGS TO DO

All business Of the Federal Farm
-oan system has been suspended pend
ing action by the United States Su-
preme Court as to the constitutionali-
ty of the act. The Federal Land Bank
can get money for farmers only by
selling its bonds to investors; and
investors will not buy low-interest-
rate bonds until the Court declares
they are tax-free. And the Supreme
Court will make no decision until
next fall
'In my community" as one friend
writes The Progressive Farmer, "a
number of people had applied for
loans, and now find themselves in
very embarrassing position, with
their loans held up, and important
farming projects blocked at time
which will mean whole years loss"
From all parts of the South similar
reports are reaching us. Both town
and country should be interested in
this matter, for every handicap to
farm work and farm progress means
higher food for city consumers.
There are two things which both
city and country readers can do to
help remedy the present serious stu
alton:
1.Write to your Congressman. Tell
them the facts and ask them ter have
the United States Treasury buy
enough farm loan bonds to take care
of all farmers applications now ap-
proved or that may be approved, un-
til the Supreme Court acts. Congress
has voted to have the United States
Treasury buy bonds enough to take
care Of loans approved by Federal
land banks prior to March 1, 1920,
but we should ask it to go further as
| just indicated.
2. See your local banks. Most of
our banks have hundreds of farmer
depositors. Much of their money is
farmer money. Now let these banks
lend to farmers who ind themselves
temporarily unable to get funds from
a Federal land bank. The banks in
each county should at least agree to
carry until fall all loans approved by
Federal land banks but temporarily
held up; and since Congress does not
offer any relief whatever to joint
stock land banks, our local banks
should try to carry loans which have
been approved by them and are like
wise held up by the Supreme Courts
delay.-The Progressive Farmer.
