The Central and Eastern Ken
lucky Homecoming celebrations will
be held in at least ten cities Of
the Blue Grass during the week of
August 9TH, according to plans
formulated at a meeting Of repre-
sentatives Of the commercial or
ganizations Of the cities of Ken
lucky held at Lexington last week.
There was considerable discussion
as to the most suitable date on
which to hold the celebration, but
it finally was decided to begin
the entertainments during the first
part of August.
At the meeting in Lexington, at
which representatives from Frank
fort, Mt. Sterling, Winchester, Lam
caster, Georgetown, Stanford, Rich
mond, Somerset, Paris, Lexington
and Clay City participated, a per-
manent organization, to be known
as the Central and Eastern Home
coming Committee, was effected
with Secretary H. L. Burch, Of the
Lexington Board of Commerce, as
president, and Joseph Leopold, of
the Frankfort Chamber of Com
merce, as secretary.
Invitations will be sent to all of
Kentucky's absent sons and daugh-
ters and an effort will be made to
have all former residents return to
the Blue Grass during the celebra-
ton. The Chamber of Commerce
will have charge of the sending out
of all information regarding the
homecoming to the persons who
have left this state.
According to estimates Of the
railroad companies, about 100000
former residents returned to their
native state during the Kentucky
Homecoming held about ten years
ago. 1t is expected that the great
majority of the old inhabitants
who have wandered to all parts of
the globe, will return for the cele-
bration.
Special entertainments will be
given in each of the towns repre-
sented in the Homecoming celebra-
tion, though Lexington will be
regarded as the center Of opera
tions.

AWAY WITH THE MORNING

You may live with dream.
But life-prices are high;
A shelter to house you
And bread to buy.
Gold for the living and gold to die,
Then it's up and away with the
morning!
You, may live with a dream
And dream is sweet,
But breathes not blessing
Der bread and meat;
The wolf hunger hath feet, far feet,
Then it's up and away with the
morning!

Why is it that we so easily for
get that the little things in life are
what make it easy or hard? A few
pleasant words, a warm hand clasp,
a cordial letter, are simple things,
but they are mighty in their in
fluence on the lives of those about
us, adding a ray of hope to many
disconsolate hearts, giving a bit of
courage to disappointed, weary
ones and helping to make our own
lives sweeter at the same time.

Made in America, this is the cry;
Made where the eagles of liberty

Made where the standard of living

Made in America! this is the call;
Made under a freedom, not under

Made where the schools are wide

Made in America, this is the sign;
Made where the labor is sturdy and

Made with a smile, not a soul
