CLUB B"NOTES.

The General Federation has undertaken
century of its existence than the Baby
Week which it is promoting for next March
All. The November General Federation
Magazine contains many details in regard
to this celebration, and other matter bear
ing on the subject will appear from time to
to time, both in the public prints and in
communications to clubs. This is tre-
mendous undertaking, but when it is re-
membered that our country allows the
sacrifice each year of thousands of infants
whose lives might be saved under proper
conditions, and that every man and woman
in the country is responsible in measure
for this waste, universal interest and CO.
operation should greet the enterprise. Let
club women everywhere be on the lookout
for items in regard to this event, and let
all join hands to make Baby Week grand
success.
The Women's Club of Stanford, Ken
lucky, is to be congratulated upon most
unique and delightful entertainment in
the members. There were eighty people
in the performance, each one deserving
special mention. Miss Esther Burch :
pecially deserving of much credit in direct
ing the minstrel. The first part was par
ticularly clever. The ladies had an elevat-
ed stage built and when the curtain rose
on some thirty or more of them all wear
ing "Swallor Tail" coats, white waists and
skirts and otherwise dressed to kiiT', +,
the scene was an inspiring and pretty one.
Then came in the eight jolly end women
blacked in regular minstrel style, wearing
suits of red, trimmed in white, with the
jauntiest little hats imaginable. Ladies be
seated, said the interlocutor-Mrs. William
Severance and then the fun began. The
jokes were all funny and new and the
take offs" on many of the people of STAN
ford, brought forth much laughter The
singing of Dixie, Yankee Doodle, Old Ken
lucky Home and other old melodies by the
big chorus, directed by Mrs. T. ]. Hill, was
pleasing feature of the evening program.
A nice sum was realized and it will go to-
ward buying new books for the library.
The first number of the Kentucky
Womans Journal, official organ of the
Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs,
has made its appearance, and it fulfills in
every respect the hopes of club women in
the State, who for six months have been
looking forward with interest to the initial
/ issue.
Too much praises can scarcely be given
to the editor, Mrs ]. H. Dickey, who has
labored so faithfully to make it successful.
Having served as chairman of the Press
Committee of the State Federation for
several years. and having been a newspa-
per correspondent during those years, Mrs.
Dickey is well fitted to hold the position
of editor which was assigned to her at the
last annual meeting of the Federation in
Lexington.

Admits Defeat For Governor

Hon. Edwin P. Morrow, Republican
candidate for Governor against Hon.
\. o. Stanley, Democratic Governor
elect of kentucky. issued a formal
statement to the people last Thursday,
in which he comedies the election of
his opponent Mr. Morrow's statement
breathes the spirit of patroit and con
clusively proves he is an upright, cour-
ageous and manly man. He has en-
6almed himself in the hearts of his
constituents, and gained the respect
and confidence of thousands who diff.
rered with him politically. Mr. Morrow
disclaims any ard all intentions of in
stituting a contest before the Legisla-
ture. Following is his statement:
To the People of Kentucky: After
eight days of doubt the closest election
the State ever knew is at an end. The
official count now discloses Mr.. Stan
ley's election by a small plurality, and
however. or by wha methods, obtained
shall accept it as final.
To plunge the State into a contest
progress, stop its development and
create strife and bitterness. The vel
fare of Kentucky, its people and its
material prosperity is above the ambi-
tion of any man or the success Of any
party. Although defeated, l feel that
out of my campaign has and will, come
only good for my State. l believe l
have awakened the conscience of Ken
tucky to extravaganza and ineffioienoy
in the conduct of the public business.
to the desperate condition of the public
treasury and, above all, to the truth
that broken promises 10 the people bring
only evil consequences.
The next year will see enacted an
anti-lobby law to destroy the Shack
That Graft Built, corrupt practices
act 10 protect the ballot and the public
office, a scientific and equitable tax
law. And in all the departments of
state there will be an awakening and a
guard placed over the expenditure of
the peoples money. Believing l will
have been instrumental in procuring
these results feel that l have not la
bored in vain.
thank the people of Kentucky with
out regard to party for their personal
kindness TO me throughout the cam
paign and for their confidence IN me as
expressed at the polls. To those who
fought and labored for me attempt to
give no word of praise-my gratitude is
above words. With all my power
shall continne the battle for the good of
Kentucky and the welfare OF her peo-
pie. EDWIN p. MORROW.

Some Contrast, Then And
Now.

No wonder they didn't have any high
cost OF living in the old days. After
supper the family would gather in the
front parlor with the whot-not and the
handicapped center table, with the
wax flowers in the glass case and the
old family Bible and the cabinet organ,
daughter would preside at the organ
while the rest of the family sat around
on the red plush sofa and the horse
hair chairs and sang: What Friend
We Have in Jesus" and abide With
Me" until 9 o'clock and then went to
bed. Nowadays, after dinner, father
goes to the theatre to see burlesque
show, daughter goes to the movies with
her best fellow, and mother goes out in
the garage and puts a new inner tube in
her machine. And along about mid
night the family kicks the lining out of
case of beer and a lunch and hit the
hay and let the electric lights burn all
night.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Charges Violation Of Neutrality by
Spending Millions.
Providence, R. l., Nov. 15.-The
Providence Journel says:
"a vast fund of money, amounting
to between $35. 900 and $40, 900, 900
has been spent in this country In the
past four months for propangada work
against the allies, under the immed-
late supervision of Count Won Berns-
torn, the German ambassador, and
DR.. Heinrich Albert, privy councillor,
who describes himself as the fiscal
agent Of his government.
The Journel has positive record of
the receipt by Ambassador Won Berns-
torh and DR.. Albert of at least SIC, 0,0OO,-
600 in the time mentioned. A great
deal Of this money has come through
the Guaranty Trust company of New
York.
"The Journal charges that not one
dollar Of this money has been spent
for legitimate purposes, but that all
Of it is going for propaganda work of
the most vicious description. One
item alone, the maintenance of bu-
reaus for dragging men out Of muui-
tions factories, amounts to many mil
lions Of dollars.

FAY TO REVEAL
GERMAN PLOTS
Reported TeutOn Spy Has Con-
feSsed to Chief.
HOLDS LONG CONFERENCE
Said to Have Told Story OF the Aetiv-
Ity Of the German Secret Service In
the United States to Chief Flynn
Revelations May Be Startling.

New York, Nov. 15.-The alleged
German spy, Robert Fay, who, after
lighting in the German army In
the trenches, came to this country to
carry out a plot for destroying ships
Of the allies, sailing from this port
with munitions of war, sent hurry
call from his cell in the Tombs for
William J. Flynn, chief OF the secret
service, and John C. Knox, special as
sistant United States attorney.
The exlieutenant was eager to talk
to somebody. 1t was clear that he
had come to some decision about his
future attitude regarding the charges
against him and he must unburden
himself at once. Mr.. Knox could not
be reached, but the chief reached the
Tombs just as reporters were gather
ing there in the hope of communicate
ing with Fay.
The reason for Fay's apparent
change OF attitude toward the govern
ment officials has been apparent for
several days. Though he has done
everything in his power to shield men
associated with him, he has learned
SAe~s ~SA S<~Ah POA oOAAo VIM HcIS
with him have not been as staunchly
faithful as he.
For more than an hour the chief
talked with Fay in the counsel room
and he is reported to have taken notes
even more copiously than a reporter
What was discussed between the head
Of the secret service and the alleged
bomb plotter could not be learned
from Mr.. Flynn
From reliable sources, however, the
following three significant facts were
learned:
First. That Fay has offered to turn
states evidence.
Second. The story which Fay has
told about himself has been. verified
in Europe almost to a word.
Third. The United States has evil
dence corroborating Fay's story, as al
ready printed, and connecting the Ger
man secret service with the plans to
wreck munition ships, blow up or set
fire to munition factories in this coun-
try.
If Fay swings over to the prosecu-
tion's side. it seems certain that Wal
ter Scholz. his mechanician and chief
aid, will do likewise He, however.
was not called in to the conference.

bells suggestions:
/ 1 Take all ashes and trash from your
back yard Immediately. Send your
rubbish 10 the dumping ground.

suggest to the men owning them that
they drive through the streets with a
sign-''Clean Up Wagon"-on their
wagons with bell calling attention.
3 Burn all rubbish that will burn
Clean your vacant lots and alleys
Make your streets and parking
look as trim and we'll kept as possible.
Refrain from throwing rubbish il
the streets.
Sow grass seed and plant fiowel
bulbs to make your home as beaatifu
as possible.
If your store front is dingy, pain
it.
s If you have unsightly dumps il
your back yard, remove them.
Tear down unsightly sheds oil
your premises; they detract from tn
beauty of your home and town. Opel
spaces and fresh air are better.
10 If your walk is an eye-sore t.
those travelling over it, repair it or builC
new one.
IL Clean out the alleys back of tn
business houses at once.
By all means do your part to max
