Bring Your Family
Along With You

1t is the duty that every man
owes to his family to bring them
along. Where to? To the City
or to the town, or to the village.
To the places where there is
something more than the every
day life for them to see. take
the boy or girl that is raised on
the farm: it is the place of all
places. And yet your boy or
your girl knows that there is
something going on somewhere;
and they are entitled to see it.
Take the 10y, and he wants to
see the world, and he is going to
do it if he has any get up in him.
He knows that there are places
of amusement: your daughter
knows that as well as he, and
she wants to see some of the
doings of the world, and your
wife, the life partner, the one
that has stayed by you so nobly,
the one that gave birth to your
boy and your girl, let them go at
least once a month and take a
day off. You do not have to go
! far to find something that will
entertain them and at the same
/ time teach them a moral that
they will always remember and
can be found right here in our
own little city.
We have every night in the
| week, 50 that you cannot miss 1t
a moving picture show, just like
those you would see in New
! York or Chicago, right here in
your own door.
We have more than that, we
have worship in four or five
churches right here in our city
every Sunday morning and even
ing, and prayer services during
the week. on Wednesday and
Thursday, we have great many
other advantages, why not take
advantage of it all.
And, to the man who lives in
the city. give your boy and girl
chance to see how the world is
moved, let them know all about
farming. mining, numbering and
manufacturing, they can see all
this by giving them a trip Oc-
casionally to the Country. Why
don't you do it?

For What?

If 4 million poor cold corpseS
who are sleeping in the muddy
bitches in Europe, could slip
back through the cold and bony
fingers of old grim death, no
doubt the first question they
would ask, would be, for what"
If they could onlyse how lit
tie the world is benefited by their
fighting, bleeding and dying. If
they could realize that the poor
soldiers that they were murder
ing were their friends and
brothers, and not their foes,
then the question would tower
like Pixies peak before them,
for what?"
If they could only get a
glimpse of the many beautiful
cities they have destroyed. the
humble homes they have helped
to burn. the many women and
innocent children they have

A Curse

We have said it before and
here we wish to reiterate, that
Barbourville is the best city OF
its size in the United States, but
it has one curse. and we don t
intend to mince our words IN
saving what that curse is, 1t is a
few old lantern jawed, long ton
gued women. who have no inter
est in home. family or friend,
that are eternally on the gossip.
They have certain places where
they congregate, and there they
proceed to take in all the terri
tory for many miles around with
the latest gossip; and they will
get some little fool thing started
that where some one has posi-
bly made small mistake,
though not serious, and they
will begin to patch it. magnify
it. and by the time they get
through with it. it is something
terrible.
These women ought to be put
somewhere and make work and
attend to their own business,
they are the most dangerous
animals to day not in captivity,
they besmirch the fair names OF
some of our best girls and boys,
they break up and destroy happy
homes, they are the agents of
the Devil, and should be Danish
ed from society and be made
stay at home.
We know this bunch, we are
not going to call any names or
give any signs as to where they
are, yet, but this must stop; if II
does not we intend to expose
every one of them. And when
we do we will have the proper
proof to keep us from having
any kind of a liable suit against
us.
A hint to the wise ought TO be
sufficient. Now it behooves you
to make short quick stop, you
know who you are, and we can
always tell when we hit, the one
hit always hOllerS.

that it happened in one of Pittsburgh's

The girl. stylishly attired, stepped
up to the still more stylishly-attired

they did not keep chiffon.
"Why!" she gasped. you cannot

In her eagerness she stepped closer

BEHIND THE RUSSIAN GUNS

The road slanted down till we were

hours we drove along behind a desul-
tory but gigantic artillery battle. Gun
after gun, each in its raw pit, covered
with brush to shield it from aero
planes.
In the very field of the artillery,
peasants were calmly blowing with
oxen, and in front of the roaring guns
a boy in white linen drove cattle over
the hill toward the pastures along the
river. We met long-haired farmers,

How cartridges are trapped in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, in the win
ter, is described as follows: A net
measuring from Is to 80 feet, and
about eight inches high, is put down
with stanchions; horizontally IN the
center is an opening similar to the
hoop nets 70, fishing; the opening
in the net is cone-shaped, diminishing
in size. The METER mounts a horse
and starts at the distant side of the
field, riding in a walk backward and
forward, his objective point being the
net If he encounters a bunch of
birds they will run before the horse.
He then begins to 30 direct his horse
as to drive them to the net, being
always careful not % flush them.
When he reaches the net the birds dis
cover the opening and enter, the
whole process being similar to driving
sheep into a pen. When the birds
are safe the METER dismounts and Sc
cures his game.

Some of these have been at work four

after only weeks instruction. Lady

operations, with one exception, in the
making of 1S-pound shells are carried

WOMEN DOING POLICE DUTY
Take the Places Of Berlin Night
Watehmen Who Are Serving
Country at the Front.

Berlin, before the outbreak of the
war, employed force of men whose
duty it was to patrol the less lively
streets of the city at night to keep
the peace. Men of good physique and
tried integrity we're selected for these
positions. Each man learned his terri.
tory and knew the people of his
streets. He was given a bunch of
keys, revolver and a sword. With
the keys he was enabled to enter any
house where he might suspect a rob
berry to be taking place. and some
times it became his duty to accommo-
date those belated wanderers who for
get and lose their keys. The revolver
and the sword worn with the consent
of the police, were seldom called into
use.
Since the beginning of the war these
night watchmen are women. The men
who once filled the places are now
serving their colors at the front. In
most cases women whose husbands
have been called TO perform their mill
tary duties are selected.
