He gave a record of the accomplishments of the church during the pastorate of Dr, Kyle, who began this work In Amster­ dam in December, 1880. He was in­ stalled as pastor ih January, 1881, There was then a debt of $40Q0'on the church. In four months the money had all been subscribed and most o f it paid. In 1884 the church was en­ larged and repaired. In 1895 a pipe organ was installed, A church shed was later, erected and the parsonage remodeled. Through it all the people have .been happy and united- Not. an officer who signed the call to Dr. Kyle is now living. The yriars were not all sunshine, but through all the hand of the Master-was seen, and thit largely through the faithful work of the pas­ tor. It has been his sole aim to feed "his flock.with manna from Heaven. The church is a missionary church and has contributed through his pastorate to all the mission boards. Many have ’been brought through the preaching to take the places of ’those who .had >gohe on. The pastor has been aided by his family in all "his work. The con­ gregation, said Mr. Johnson, joins with the ministerial asociation in con­ gratulations and in wishing Dr. and Mrs. Kyle many more years of health and happiness. , -1 .

Bradfute, President of. the State Bureau, stated in his.address that never before had big business of the country taken any notice of the farmers until the Farm Bureati' Fed-: Oration was organized. Just, recently, representatives of the’Chicago Board, of Trade juMpackhig industri ’ ’ they stand on legislation that concern these two lines. JMr. Brad­ fute stated that farmers favor the Abolishment of dealing in futures and the common practice of selling short. “Farmers do not want price fixing but they want their feet under the table when they are fixed”. The ques­ tions of taxation and other big prob­ lems must be worked out on a fair basis.” ■ ■ . L. H. Goddard of Washington G.

The chickens alleged to have been stolen from Bishop Jones, former President of Wilberforce, who. owns the old Stevenson farm near Wilber­ force, were taken home Saturday evening by .the Sheriff. When they were given liberty they walked di­ rectly to thehen bouse,and proceeded to take their accustomed places on the roost. If. was several days before Sheriff Funderburg. could locate the owner ahd he enlisted the aid of a number of farmers who drove around the country between Wilberforce and Cedarville and on north. Men used au­ tos oh the good roads ‘frhile others drove or rode horse back on the side roads. Ray Harrison was the one who called at the farm -of Bishop Jones, and gave the alarm which resulted in a count being taken and the loss dis­ covered. The crower taken, bad a mark on the leg that made it easy for identification.

Mr. Markle was toastmaster and after stating the object of the meet­ ing then called on Wilbur White, who spoke on “Pep in College and Pep in Football.” At the close of his approp­ riate remarks he called on the college “gang" as he expressed it for the “Pep’,’ yell, which was put over in great shape. Prof. L. D. 'Parker of the public schools brought out the necessity,of physical training in public schools and ,the college. He Went a little fur­ ther and suggested that we should have a physical director for all.,the students in the college and schools. He brought out the idea that a suit­ able man might be secured that could act as coach:for the differerit athletic; teams and be a physical director as well and have charge of such classes. Rev. Harriman emphasized the importance of physical training which could .not be over estimated; Such training was not only for physical Strength but to impress the idea of fair play in athletics as in every­ thing else. He suggested .lhat ;the business men might have such a class under, this director. v Prof. Allen stated that,he was a veteran.in athletics With the degree of “N G.’ and that he received an in­ jured eye in football but nevertheless he-still-was-for the-gamerHe*Tfeview-- ed the. ariy days of the college when he arrived here as to the success of the .football team. For the past ten years there has beerf no team. Much of the objectionable part of fo.otball bad been- eliminated. Such training was' an aid to the moral and intel- ectual development, Prof.‘Morton Creswell o f the Xenia public- schools urged a 'football team for the college as it ,’was one of the greatest "faster* -- ur* secoring'uiew students. While he ’ had . endeavored to enlist a number o£ - students for the college yet is was hard to inter­ est them when there was no football team. .■ ■._■■■ ■ ■ . . Deputy Probate Judge S. C. Wright urged concerted action along the line suggested by Profj Parker. If the public.schools did not have the money fpr a physical director and the college the same,, make a canvass for funds in the community. Ho suggested a committee to work out plans and de­ cide on an amount necessary for a physical director. Rev. Busier bristled with “Pep” in his talk. He was entirely in sympa­ thy with the movement but We had come, to the place where sympathy will not .do it all. We need finances. He reviewed his experience in col­ lege and the seminary where in the latter institution, there was a great gym for. the physical training and where each theological student re­ ceived'certain credits for his physical work. He told of a talk with Witten­ berg College officials who paid a great "tribute to the work that Dr. McChes- ney is doing. What a great sacrifice he was making when he might be de­ voting his time, enegery and talents to thousands instead of a few hun­ dred, Rev. Busier’ is anxious for a physical director for both the public schools and college and believes that if the people can be shown the im­ portance of it a way will be foundto secure the funds. Rey, Busier plead­ ed that the standard of the college be kept up and nqt listed as, a Junior college, > , > President McChesney-congratulated the large number that had gathered on this occasion, thus showing their interest and loyalty in the* college. Four qualifications, are necessary in: a college life today. Physical, mental moral and spiritual training. This has been the aim oL Cedarville Col­ lege, It is for the mutual interest of the college and High school that these institutions work in harmony, With these, alins accomplished there will, be higher and better things for Cedarville. ' . On motion a committee was named to plan for a physical director and also provide means, Dr. McChesney, chairman; L. D. Parker, secretary; O. L. Smith, treasurer; J. W. Johnson W .C.

CASE IS CALLED, For some weeks Xenians have been discussing under coyer the separation of a newspaper man and bis wife in that city. While all sort* of rumors were our, rent it was known that Fenton W. Chew and his wife, Margaret Ander­ son Chew, hqd separated, the latter going ot the home of her father, El­ mer Anderson, well known insurance man and influential citizen. The separation with all the different stories from each side waa discuss­ ed in the stores, shops, in facts where sver Xenia people congregated. As time wept on a report gained circulation that Mr, Chew had placed his domestic trouble at the door of L, D. Wilson, head of the Wilson En­ gineering and Contracting Co. This wasfollowed by an alleged report that Chew's wouqds had been healed by a cash settlement on the part o f Wilson for $10,000. Wilson's friends stoutly denied this. Another side of the contest is that Chew was alleged to have been h- busive to his wife and for this rea­ son she. returned •to‘ her father’s home. At any rate she is s^id to have given up her home back in December rather than remain with the husband. Since then she has been .in a hospital in that city.
