DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA 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.— New York Post.

DAKE & McLARTY 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.
