A PICNIC WITH An IDEA
Berea and Her Neighbors Demon
strate What Can be Done by Peo-'
pie Who Love Each Other
and Work Together for
the Same Things

When it was predicted two weeks
ago in The Citizen that the coming
4th of July picnic would be the big
gest thing that ever struck Berea,
there were smiles and rather numer-
Gus expressions indicating an opin-
ion that somebody was talking wild.
Since the picnic it is the universal
verdict that the prediction was well
founded. Two thousand to twenty
five hundred people participated in
the picnic. Twenty neighborhoods
and communities round about Berea
were well represented, with scatter
ing numbers from greater distances.
There were people present from
twenty-three Sunday-schools. Eight
Junior Agricultural Clubs had floats
in the parade. All the schools in
Southern Madison and many in sur
rounding counties had members pres
ent. Seventy-five floats, automobiles
and wagons took part in the parade.
The cakes, pies, the glasses Of jelly,
the yellow legs Of chicken that were
on the ground in the early part OF
the day haven't yet been counted.
There was one thing present that
it is pretty hard to measure. That
was the spirit of fellowship and
neighborly good will that prevailed
in everything. The success Of this
effort by people scattered over a
large. territory coming together and
putting on a community project was
a demonstration of what can be done
by cooperative effort such as is not
often seen.
The parade was a surprise to every
body. One prominent citizen wanted
to have II right over so people could
see it again. Many of the floats
were very artistic and all were beau
tiful.
Mayor Gay and T. J. Osborne well
coined the people in the most happy
manner. Dinner was spread all to-
gether on the campus, town and
country people enjoying each other
fully. The coffee with thick cream
end plenty Of sugar, two spoons to
the cup. thank you, furnished and
served by the Progress Club, was
fully up to promise. After dinner
the people played old-time games to
the music of fiddle and guitar. con.

The Bible verse contest in the Tab
ernacle resulted in Miss Inez Hutch
ins Of Wallaceton winning the Bible
offered by the woman's Club. Others
participating were Leila Bowman of
Silver Greek, Mrs. John L. Green of
Kingston, John McWillisms of Whites
Station and Mrs. Roy Gsdd Of Scaf-
fold Cane.
The community pageant, "Uncle
Sans Birthday" given by seven
reighborhoods, was pronounced a
grand success. Tho 1t had never
been practiced, 1t went on like clock
work and held the interest Of the
audience Of nearly 1000 people as
tho it was being put on by artists
of the highest rank. All the neigh
borhoods did well. Whites Station
won first place with their presenta'

The news from the Far East Of
late is encouraging. The new presi-
dent Of China, Ii Yuan Hung, Is
working hard to unity the two Sec
tions> of China. DR.. Sun Vat Sen
has been displaced in South China
and was made a captive. He has
been a loyal defender of republican
government, but distrusted the Of
ficials of the North. A united China
is great factor in the future peace
of the Far East. Moreover, the
treaties of the Washington confer
ence have now been ratified by the
Privy Council Of Japan and await the
approval of the Regent. There is
reason to believe this approval will
be given at once and not be delayed
until the other nations which signed
the treaties also ratify. Details for
the withdrawal of Japan from Shan
tung are being worked out, and the
new cabinet has given reason to be-
lieve Japanese troops will retire from
Siberia.

Much attention during the week has
been given to the operations of a
hand of Mexican outlaws who kid
mapped an American secret service
official and terrorized an American
oil producing plant near Tampico.
The leader Of the band was Gorozave.
He is said to be of Spanish blood
and was not addicted to bandit oper-
ations until recehtly. Bielaski, the
service man, was able to escape be-
fore the date set for his ransom ~
raved, and the Cortez Oil Company
was spared the destruction Of its
property, and its employees were re-
leased from captivity, apparently by
reason of effective and foroeful work
on the part of the Mexican govern
ment, stimulated by demands from
the U. S. 1t is reported that the
event occurred because the region
was peaceful and the need of pro-
lection was not realized.

GANG BELIEVES

Broadway Crowd Thinks First
Opponent viii Knock Benny
Silly. as Gums Are Bad. =
BY DAVIS J. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-According
TO the Broadway crowd. which claims
to see all, know all. Benny Leonard.
our noble lightweight champion Is so
far removed from the Leonard of
old that he figures to be taken like
a blotter takes ink by the first good
man he faces, to wit. Lew Tender
or Charley White.
Leonard is not doing any fighting
just now because his mouth Is in bad
shape. He had a bout ribbed up
with White. whom he figures he
can outstep, but was constrained to
allow It to 60 by default on the ad-
vice Of q dentist. whose ministra-
tions have failed to cure the infected
gums to date.
The Broadway crowd is sponsor
for the statement that Leonard ul-
timately may effect a cure Of his
mouth but that he win never beat
Tender In a return bout. They
hang their prediction on what they
term Leonard's loss Of speed and in
innate that Benny himself would
get into the ring with Tender in a
decision bout just as readily as he
would drink a glass Of mucilage.
In support Of the contention that
Leonard's speed 10 gone, they point
to the fact that not only did Teudler
beat him to the punch times innu.
merable but that fistic saps Of the
caliber Of Ever Hammer and Rocky
Kansas were able to nail him with
such regularity as to cut his eyes
and mash his teeth and force his
temporary retirement from the
ring.
It all adds up very nicely on paper.
But II Is something OF a precarious
pastime to read a man Hike Leonard
out Of his title, per Sc.
In the Tender affair he was dis
tinctly outpointed for eight rounds,
but flashed so much In the last four
that an unofficial decision In favor
Of the champion was almost unani-
nous. He might. be able to do the
same thing again, for Leonard's re-
sourcefulness Is profound.
It is barely possible that the
breathing spell to which he Is now
stalking himself win bring Leonard
back to what he was several years
ago. He Is a young man puglfsti.
cally and actually and has taken
reasonable care Of himself.
And Tender. strong as he Is.
would spend no carefree evening
against the Leonard of 1920. As a
matter of fact. the Benny Of that
year would make Tender look like a
club foot.
However, the wise whisper tells US
that only the lure OF tremendous
purse will induce Leonard to take
his beating" from Tender and then
only after Leonard is convinced that
the field in general has been milked
bone dry.

.MHEANTIME, Harry Wills, the
M colored heavyweight, who
Avn began fighting long before
many Of the present-day fighters
had ever been heard Of, has been
advanced to tie position Of lead
ing contender.
His position is, perhaps, due,
not so much b any ability that
Wills has Displayed, because he
has fought no one that might
afford the ring worms q line of
comparison, but to the fact that
there is no other man who can
be figured as contender.
Only a vert few brand new
heavies have developed since
Dempsey won the title, and they
are all still IN the process of

He's Most Promising.


.THE most promising Of all the
big young fellows just now
- seems to be Floyd Johnson,
the Iowa heavyweight, now under
the management of Charley Cook.
Yet johnson has yet to be thor
oughly tested.
He kas done all that has been
asked Of him up to date, and is
big enough and strong enough to
make a great heavyweight. How
ever, it is too early to be making
predictions about johnson until he
has done mere.
A situation tha. Just now seems
to present Dempsey and Wills as
the only possible heavyweight
card worth while may change in
a few months, as the situation
changed when it looked as il
Moran and Willard was the only
possible card before Dempsey
suddenly loomed up.
Out of the mists Of obscurity
may suddenly march some chap
more formidable than Wills. As
matters now stand the Brown
Panther of New Orleans cannot
possibly get a chance at the title
for months, and many things may
happen in that time.
What Dempsey will do in the
meantime to keep himself occupied
is q puzzle. It does not look as

Only Few Are Left.

VIOU can realize how little the
heavyweight situation has
changed in the last few
years by running over the list of
men in that division who are still
active in the ring.
Brennan, Billy Miske, Fulton,
Reich, Willie Meehan, and Moran
are still boxing. Jess Willard is
talking of q comeback. Morris oc-
casionally bobs up in the news.
There have been few changes.
Georges Carpenter, who was a
veteran when most of those named
were just beginning, figured as a
brief flash against the heavy
weight horizon and is still the
heavyweight champion of Europe.
Tom Gibbons, brother Of Mike,
flared up momentarily as a possi-
bility, but seems 10 have fizzled
out since he ran against Harry
Greb.
Bob Martin, champion of the
A. E. F., and Capt. Bob Roper
were new additions to the di-
vision after the war. Martin,
probably the most carefully
nursed and widely advertised of
the heavyweights Of recent years,
got just SO far and then began
drifting away.
Roper is merely a tough,
rugged fellow, who will probably
never come dose to championship
caliber. Miste, twice beaten by
Dempsey, and a veteran, seems
to be fighting better than any
of the old-tiners.,
