Call For Volunteers.

While European countries are call
ing for volunteers in a conflict Of
war, Kentucky is calling for volun,
teers in a conflict of peace, a conflict
which, if eventually and successfully
waged, will insure to the people OF
this great Commonwealth new era
of peace, happiness and prosperity.
Kentucky has one blight and blot
upon her record at this time, and
that is high percentage of illiteracy
among her adult population. 208,08
of her men and women cannot read
or write, and are thus deprived of
the privileges of citizenship and pre-
vented from enjoying the richest
blessings of life. These men and
women are mostly native whites.
Many of them people of superior in

ambitious. However much they may
hunger for an education, the day
school can offer them no opportunity.

The State is deprived of the service
of these unfortunate men and wo-
men, and the school is deprived of
their intelligent cooperation. Three

schools would enable them to read
and write, at least, and when given
the keys to knowledge, they will pro-
coed to unlock the treasure house for
themselves.
For the sake of this great army of
benighted men and women, for the
sake of their children and their
grandchildren, for the sake of the
cause of education, for the sake of a
better and more intelligent citize n

public and private school teacher to
enlist and start a moonlight school
on the evening of September 7th,
and to every citizen to seek out and

COVETOUSNES Is
BLAMED FOR SIN
Desire For Self Gain is Stare for Most
of Sins of Today, Says Rev.
Henry l.. Davis.

Covetousness. explained in a ser
mon THE Farmer that Fed His Soul
With Corn, was characterized by Rev.
II. L. Davis at the First NJ E. church
Thursday night as being the root of
nearly all the sin of the world. He
said that the craze of gain for self
was one of the greatest sins a man
can commit, and that the man who had
the greatest greed and mania for self
gain was the greatest sinner.
He told of how covetousness was
the cause of the fall of Adam, and that
with David it lead him into a life Of
adultery. 1t is the same in modern
times according to him, and will con-
tinue to be until the races of the
world work together for the common
good
He gave the example of the farmer
who tore down all his old barns and
built new ones. This man, said the
pastor, was a cOvetous sinner, be-
cause he failed to recognize that it
was Gods influence that made II pos
sible for the large crops to thrive"
Prof. Milton B. Griffith entertained
with a vocal solo. The attendance
and interest seemed to be the best Of
any service to date. The topic for
tomorrow night is, THE Dying
Thief. Mrs. Stanley, of Wichita, Kas.,
will sing.

Leaders to Get Out and Hustle
Among the Young Men.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 9.-Fred A
Sims, chairman of the republican
state central committee, in a COM
municatiOn sent Thursday to all the
county chairmen in the state. urged
the county party leaders TO make an
effort to lead the young voters into
the republican party and give them
party work TO do to keep them inter
ested.
Mr.. Sims suggested that this might
be done by the leaders themselves
visiting all parts of their counties and
holding small neighborhood meetings
He says this plan would interest the
young voters and would accelerate
what he terms a favorable trend
throughout the state TO return to the
republican party.
