COLLEGE DOING GOOD WORK
Berea's Influence In Appalachian Amer
ica Is Becoming Greater—Its Ex-
tehsion Work a Feature.
The campaign which Berea college
^is conducting for increased funds
•calls attention to the rapidity with
which its work in “Appalachian
America” is expanding. It draws
■students' from the whole mountain
region included botween northeast
Alabama and southwest Pennsyl
vania, an area as large as New York
and New England, and one which
contains 3,000,000 people of Scotch
and English descent. President
Erost finds this population confront-
< <d hy two emergencies which the col
lege must help it to face. One is the
■invasion of mines and lumber camps,
with social and industrial problems
•for which the mountaineers are un
prepared ; the other lies in the fact
that the population has reached what
President Erost calls “the boiling
point,” through unprecedented in
crease. With the same large number
of children that was common in colo
nial times, and the lessening of child,
mortality that has followed the in
troduction of somo modern medical
methods, the numbers in Appalachia
have suddenly doubled. The result
is a pressure upon the agricultural
resources of the valleys and hillsides
that demands new agricultural meth
ods. The college now enrolls nearly
1,100 students, a part of whom arc
engaged in productive enterprises—
at 13 jn farming, 11 in woodwork
ing and 18 in printing. The college
has extension workers performing
doughty service in 32 mountain
counties in Kentucky, five in North
Carolina, four in Tennessee, three in
Virginia and six in West Virginia.—

ARCHBOLD WAS A HUMORIST
Showed This Quality When He Defined
His Duties as a Director of
Standard Oil.
Our rulv, billionaire. John UavhJ/T’t'
son Rockefeller, wrote in his book
that bis partner, John Dustin Arch-
hold, was a humorist. Citing an ex
ample of that keen wit, he said that
when questioned upon the wituess
stand as to what was his chief occu
pation ns a Standard Oil director,
Mr. Archbold replied: v
“Clamoring for dividends.”
Archbold was one of the big six of
the old Standard Oil company, Gi
rard writes in the Philadelphia Led
ger. The two Rockefellers, Hjrk-
ness, Rogers aud Flagler were the
other five.
The world knew scarcely anything
of Darkness, although he owned
much more Standard stock than any
of his partners except Joint D...
Rockefeller.
S'lagler and Rogers each built a
railroad, but Arehbold stuck strict
ly to oil. They all smarted poor-
most of them iu little country towns.
Flagler’s mania was the east coast
■of Florida. He once invited Mr.
Plant, the equally meteoric upbuild-
•er of another part of Florida, to visit
Palm Beach.
“Where is Palm Beach?” wired
riant in reply.
“Go to Jacksonville,” answered
Flagler. “Follow the crowd and you
will get there.”
OF COURSE NOT.
“The girls in this chorus have
hardly any. clothes on.”
“Still, I don’t consider them ob
jects of pity.”
“No?”
“The fact that their stage attire is
scanty doesn’t necessarily mean that
they have no warm furs and sealskin
coats to wear when they go out on
the street.”
IN THE OFFICE.
"Here a man applying for a job
incloses his photograph.”
“I suppose he wants us to take him
at his face value.”
EXCEPTION NOTED.
“No family line in this country
will support all that is put oi it.”
“Oh, yes, there’s one—the family
clothesline.”
I can spell my name: S-O-V-E-R-
E-I-G-N. And I know what it
means—good blood and right
stock--the finest ever!
My! Isn’t there a lot to learn?
