The advent Of Col. Jack Wills
who was Clark comty's Represen-
tative in the last two sessions Of
the Legislature into the race fe-
the Democratic nomination for
State Senator in the Clark Bour-
bon Montgomery DISTRICT, makes
the contest a four cornered affair
and very much complexities the
situation. Jack is as "dry" as a
covered bridge" and he will make
his fight on that issue. Others al
ready in the race are Abe Renick,
Lee Wainscott and Col. X. ID.
Hunter, all of Clark county, which
under the old rotation agreement
between the three counties, will
furnish the Democratic nominee
and the Senator, as the nomination
is equivalent to election.-Louis-

MISS LORRAINE
WHEELER WEEDS

The marriage of Miss Lorraine
Kinnaird Wheeler, of Lexington, to
Mr.. Henry Lincoln Fearing, of
Olympia and Lexington, was very
quietly solemnized Thursday after
noon in Winchester at the home
of the officiating minister, the Rev.
William Cummings, pastor of the
Presbyterian church there. On ac-
count of the illness Of the brides
mother the marriage was celebrat-
ed in this quiet way. They left
Lexington in an automobile, accom-
panide by Miss Helene Curry, Of
Carlisle; Miss Carolyn Elkin and
Mr.. William Estill Moore, of Lex
ington, and Immediately after the
ceremony returned to Lexington
and were entertained with a beau
tiful dinner at the home of the
brides parents. Only members of
the family and those who accom-
panied the couple to Winchester
were present. and there were show
ers of good wishes and congratu-
lations for the attractive couple.
The house was beautifully decorat-
ed and the table was in exquisite
taste with brides roses, white
shaded candles and place cards.
A delicious course dinner was
served and all drank to sparkling
toasts their health, wealth and
happiness.
Later in the evening they left
on the Carolina Special for a trip
South to be gone several weeks,
and on their return will make
their home in Lexington with the
brides parents. The news comes
as an interesting surprise as the
couple wished to marry in this
quiet way and no formal announce
ment had been made of the en-
gagement. y
The bride is the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Wheeler.
She is beautiful and one of the
most popular of the younger social
set. Mr.. Fearing is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel James Fearing,
of Olympia, Ky. He is handsome
and attractive and very popular
socially. He was graduated in the
class of 1916 last week at State
University, and is prominent
member of the Kappa Alpha Fra
ternity. He is to be connected in
business with his father in-law in
the Wheeler Furniture Company,
and the host of friends of the
young couple here will be much in
terested to learn of their wedding.
Both of the parties are well known
in Mt. Sterling social circles and
are quite popular. The bride has
often visited relatives in this city,
being a niece of Mrs. James
Thompson.

To Republican Voters:

and out of season to that end, as I
have done in the past.
In making their nominations every
Republican should bear in mind that

feats and sorrows; the day is here;
the time Is now and put his shoul-
der to the wheel and interest him

and continue to make possible future
victories.
My only platform is Republican
principles and the pledge to endeav-
or to live faithful to the trust, and it
is upon the question of ability and
availability for the party's future that
Republicans must submit their case

NEW LAW CREATES
EFFICIENT UNIT
Anniversary of Law Shows Service
Has Been Very Beneficial
TO Men

Last Friday marked the first an.
niversary of the signing by President
Wilson of the bill to create the Coast
Guard from the then existing Rev.
enue-Cutter Service and Life-Savine
Service. Prior to that time the per.
sonnet of the United States Life.
Saving Service was in deplorable
condition, owing to the failure of the
government to provide a retired list
for the men of this hazardous and
humanitarian branch of the public
service.
With no provision made for then
care in old age, and without a pension
system, these brave men had become
discouraged; many Of the crews con
sisted of men who were physically
unfit. either on account OF age or dis
abilities incurred from exposure;
many vacancies existed in the crews
because the right kind of men would
not enlist in a dangerous service
where such inadequate provisions
were made for their future welfare in
case of injuries or permanent inca
pacity.
Congress had been appealed to time
after time to remedy the existing con-
ditions, and notwithstanding that all
lalrge municipalities provided pen.
sions for the police and firemen, the
Federal Government steadfastly de-
elined to do anything for its corps OF
life-savers. Finally the happy ex-
pedient of combining the Life-Saving
Service with its parent branch. the
Revenue, Cutter Service, into the
Coast Guard, and making the latter
a part of the military arm of the
government, was proposed. This met
the hearty approval of the presiden.
and secretary of the Treasury, and
both sent strong recommendations to
the congress to enact the necessary
legislation. The cause was so Just,
and the need so imperative, that but
little opposition was met within eth
er branch of Congress.
The result mas Deen most salutary;
injured, diseased and elderly men
have been placed ON the retired list;
younger and physically sound men
have been put in their places. and
the Coast Guard today is on sound
basis, made SO attractive that there
is but little difficulty in filing vacan-
cies as rapidly as they occur.
From a military aspect the govern
{ ment is a great gamer, as it now has
a corps of about four thousand five
hundred officers and men, physically
sound, trained to the sea habit anc
under strict military discipline. ready
at an instant's call to cooperate wita
the Navy in times Of national stress.
Plans have already been worked out
with naval officials assigning the men
Of the Coast Guard to certain military
duties in connection with the scheme
for national defence.
The military training and discip-
line of the Coast Guard make 1t
much more effective for it's humanit-
arian duties of saving life and nrop-
erty from the perils of the elements
i'll peace times. The saving of life
at sea is essentially of an emergent
nature; promptness i'll answering
calls for help is vital to success.
Nothing better fits men for such
hazardous duties as the Coast Guard
has to perform than the prompt obed-
fence training and discipline instih.
ed in them by military methods.
