THE SOCIAL OBSTACLE

The greatest social obstacle in
your way is yourself. How delight
full it would be to mingle freely
with your fellows without being
heard, or seen, or watched, or crit
icized. But you have to speak-or
keep silent, which is worse. You
have to move, perhaps to tread on
other peoples toes or skirts. You
do little things that afterward in
the midnight hours you regret as if
they were great. You are so con-
spicuous in your own imagination
that you feel sure that you are
equally conspicuous in the imagina-
ton of others. That is an entire
mistake, but it is none the less tor
menting.
Therefore you keep away from
the world, and the more you keeI
away the less fitted you are to ap-
pear in it, and the more serious does
the great social obstacle become
People say you are proud and self
sufficient. You are not. You long
for the touch Of others hands, and
the sound Of others voices, and the
intimate contact of others souls
You have no exaggerated estimatt
Of this self of yours that proves SC
troublesome. On the conrtray, YOU
sometimes detest it, just because il
hampers you like a bruised muscle

Mr.. McChesney is recognised as
the champion Of the people of Ken
tucky and stands squarely on the
other side Of the liquor question
from Mr.. Stanley. He has been a
total abstainer all of his life. Every
vote he has cast has been against the
domination of the liquor interests.
On every opportunity he has worked
in behalf of the people against this
great monopoly. He makes no strad-
die. He was for the County Unit
Law when the whiskey interests
were fighting to prevent its enact
ment and he is for it today. But
he is for something still better. He
is in favor of Statewide Prohibition
and the complete eradication of the
liquor interests from power in Ken
tucky. If he is elected Governor he
will use every means in his power
to give to the whole people Of the
State a vote on State wide Prohibi-
ton. :. He believes the people should
rule and has confidence in their abil-
ity to settle the question for them
selves better than the whiskey crowd
can settle it for them. If the liquor
trusts have their way and elect
Stanley the question will never
come to vote.-Shelby News.

Great Britain has lost 258,00O
soldiers since the beginning of the
war. In one week 900, officers and
10000 men were put out of commits
sion. This is the bloodiest war of
history, as the Germans and Aus
trians have paid dearly for the bat
ties won. Germany is said to have
lost 100000 men, while 100000
Russians have been killed or wound
ed or made prisoners of war since
the first gun roared on the Belgian

HOME FIRST

We, the local public, are proud of
our country and Of its achievements
in the fields of agriculture and COM
merce. We are free of speech in
sounding its praises and in pre-
dieting it's greater successes of the
future. But why confine our
thoughts and actions to countryf
Why not think first-and hardest
of our own community Why not
give our best thought and our most
persistent efforts to the improving
of local conditions and to a greater
and more profitable developement of
adjacent farm landsf We honor
the man who reveres and defends his
country, but we give equal admir-
alton and respect to the one who
thinks of home as well as Of country.

or a tight skirt.
The error of your way is perfect
ly apparent. You see people who
are socially charming and successful
doing the very things you fear to
do. They make blunders and laugh
at them. They say awkward things
and then turn them into merry ones
by perfect Indifference. You vow
that you will do the same, but you
cannot.
What a pity For in this way the
social world loses those who would
delight it most. The shy, the con-
scious, and the reserved are often
times the most brilliant and the
most fascinating to the few who are
privileged to know them; but in
large, mixed companies their place
is too likely to be taken by the
shallow, the bold, and the tedious,
who have no hesitation whatever
about inaicting upon others the
meagre self they have. Remember
! this, and in the future try not to
rob your fellow men Of all your
charm.-Youth's Companion.

A RATHER interesting fact IN
connection with the Aberdeen
election is that the city was vot
ed dry by a tie vote, and that
a former Grant county boy, a
son Of Charles Foss, who had no
particular interest in Abereen
municipal affairs, but who was
interested in the liquor question
has the distinction Of casting
the deciding vote. The young
man had been undecided whether
he should vote or not Until late
in the afternoon, when he made
up his mind and voted q dry
ballot. The case illustrates the
the value OF q single vote, for
had he refrained from voting as
he originally intended the vets
would have had one majority OF
the ballots cast aud the liquor
interests would have won the
election.
