keep coming in at the present rate
the Times Is going to start number
Ing them.
But, as you have been told previ-
ously. Mr.. Good Fellow you are
needed this year az never before,
for there Is no let-up in the names
of worthy families coming to his
department. You know Washing
ton. you believe-your own Wash
ington-but do you know the other
side OF Washington, the side that
starves and freezes and freezes and
starves? Do you know the kids
rascals whose faces are wrinkled
and lined, because they have DO
sunshine. clothes and food?
Smiles Worth Millions.
Well. these are the kids who are
going to benefit by the Good Fellow
work. What would It be worth to
you to put q smile on the face Of a
child that hadn't smiled much re-
Gently? Why. it'd be worth mil
lion.
Some Good Fellows are sending In
contributions. because they explain
they are too busy to do the work
themselves.
The Times II taking this money
and turning it over to Good Fellow
clubs. for each contribution means
q smile for q kid. But It IL the
sincere wish Of the Good Fellow de-
partment that each Good Fellow win
merely ask for the name ana address
Of some poor family. and then do the
Joy work personally. That is the
original idea. The Good Fellow
should buy his presents and food and
distribute them personally. That's
where the smile comes. You win
feel much better II you do 1t your
self and your presence and your smile
will be appreciated by the unfortu-
nate AZ much as the offering you
bring.

BEREA GOES TO SUNDAY
SCHOOL

2009 Answ cred Roll Call Last Sunday
Berea has always been hopeful
concerning her Sunday School prob
lens but last Sundays attendance
surpassed even the most sanguine ex-
pectations. 1t is doubtful if there was
nook or a corner anywhere in
Berea which was not represented in
one of the Sunday Schools here on
"Go-to-Sunday.school Day" A great
deal of credit for this fine showing
is due the various Sunday-school
superintendents and workers who
have been necessarily on the job.
Among the churches in town, the
Baptist led with an attendance of
sol, the Union followed with 1879, the
Methodist had 1O7 and the Christian
1902. The College Chapel came along
with eleven hundred making a total
Of 2OO9 in Berea Sunday School last
Sunday.

CLEANING UP TINE
Greensburg, Ky.

In spite Of the incessant efforts of
the majority Of our citizens and all
Of our city officials to make this
town the most desirable spot in Ken
lucky, our police courts during the
last few weeks have been engaged
handling cases of fragrant violations
of law and visitors have complained
Of being insulted on our streets.
Berea may well be proud of her
officers-they are conscientious men,
and they are working hard to cure
the ills in this town. They need
every ounce of support that it is
possible to give them.
The Citizen is pledged TO that end.
Henceforth we are going to exert a
special effort to secure for publica-
tion details Of the police court pro-
ceedings, regardless Of names or sta
tons.

BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION


In the last weeks issue of The CT
izen we suggested the need of a
Building and Loan Association in
Berea, but Withheld lengthy discussion
on the subject. We were not then
thoroughly familiar with the opera
ton Of such an organization nor the
benefits derived therefrom. Since that
homes thru the Building and Loan As
sociations in that city, also with the
banks and with several people who
have been able to found their own
homes thru the Buildin and Lean As
sociations. Everyone was loud IN
his praise Of these institutions.
Representatives from two leading
banks in Paris said that the associa-
tons had served as feeders for the
banks. that they encouraged a spirit
OF thrift and that many working
people who, before the associations
were organized, made obviously no
attempt to save money, had caught
the BODYBUILDING rpi'it and the
thrift idea and had built and paid
for their own homes anc had sub
stantial bank accounts 70 their cred
it. We also interviewed one man who
a few years ago was paying out his
life in the form of house rent, but
now thru the operation Of the Build.
ing and Loan Association is enjoy
ing the comforts Of his own home,
paid for, and is putting by some
thing for the future.
Mr.. Galloway, secretary Of one of
the associations in Paris, said that
he would be glad to come to Berea
without any expense to our people
at any time and explain the workings
Of the Building and Loan Associa-
tion. The manner in which il func-
tons so as to pay reasonable divi.
dends to its stockholders and to af.
ford people without money a chance
to build their own homes and pay
for them without feeling any finan-
cial sacrifice.

Berea is on the verge Of a boom.

possible without any organization.

EVIL TO BE DESTROYED

II is a strange record that every evil
which should have destroyed mankind
has itself been destroyed by mankind.
There seems TO be something fatal in
humanity for an evil which succeeds
in invading II with menacing power.
Humanity seems To be like those plants
which draw insects into their cups and
then close upon them and destroy and
consume them, says Dearborn lndepend-
ent. A bad system of thought or ac-
tion takes hold Of the world, draws
multitudes Of good people into II and
II certainly looks as II the whole world
Ii going to the devil but wait-after
all these good people are misled and
deceived, they destroy the system. IL
seems TO be predestlned that evil shall
be destroyed by what appears to be its
chief success. The long story Of hu-
manity's contest with colossal evils
seems 10 prove this. And certainly II
liz strong basis for that basic op-
timlsm which is faith.
