THE JOYS OF SERVING

If there is one among you who
thinks that to serve the city in offic-
ial capacity is continuous round OF
Joy and happiness let him leave the
hall at once, before his sincere faith
is shattered.
In the first place there is no money
in it-and to few Of US Of sordld
disposition, money makes strong
appeal.
And there is no glory in it. Where
one man can find a good word to say
for the official acts of our City Dads,
a hundred arise in vitrolic condem-
nation. No matter how important
or how trivial the act may be, nor
how appropriate, or how successful
the outcome, there is always this
dissenting majority ever ready
with adverse criticism.
The kicks" aren't registered at
headquarters. If they were, niTe
times out Of ten, yes, much better
average than that, could be disposed
of readily, but it is the innocent
bystander" who gets the whole
charge, and in some instances he is
only too glad to "pass it along, :"
thereby distributing broadcast a
plant that is entirely without the
foundation of fact.
Whenever man unburdens one
of these atrocities onto you, takethe
time to question your alderman or
the mayor about it. Tell him the
argument you have heard. You will
find that they have studied the mat
ter thoroughly and.c can give good,
sound reasons for their position, and
after you have heard both sides of a
number of these questions you will
come to the conclusion that many of
these righteous protests" are moth
ing more than different forms of an
unholy crouch.
We don't claim that the City Dads
are immune from error. There are
several of us who have made mis-
take or two, or possibly three, dur
ing our varied,caEeers. and tits, even
so with some of those who are loud
est in their complaints
The men who ARE serving on the
city council are doing the best they
can to perform the city's business in
the most economical manner pos
sible. They sacrifice a lot of time
in this work and they assume re-
sponsibility practically without re-
compensation that many would shun
even were a large salary attached.
Let us get together and let them
know that the people of this city ap-
preoiate their sacrifice and their
work. Discourage the knockers. !"

ducer it may not be important, but
if it is to have protective features as
claimed by republicans for "a half
century,. then all of the information

gress may legislate intelligentlY..
a letter has been received 10y the
writer fram a citizen of the district
who asked to have his son, now I'M
Germany, relieved from military,
service there because of the citizen
ship papers which were issued many
years ago to the father. The son, at
tending school an Berlin at the out
break Of the war, suddenly found
that he had no way of establishing
the fact of citizenship and without
evidence is liable to military service.
Papers have been fOrwaded for that
purpose and it is f0rcible reminder
of the inestinlable value attached to
citizenship in this eountry. Men who
occasionally criticise our own institu-
tions, and who sometimes forget that
privileges also carry burdens on this
side of the sea, would not ordinarily
give up American citizenship for the
best that exists across the water. 1t
takes a foreign war to bring the sub
ject close home
Senator Kenyon presented to the
Senate last Thursday petition con-
tanning one million names protesting
against the shipment of munitions
of war to the belligerents. The stack
of petitions was high enough to make
a respectable looking fertilization in
the staid old Senate. Nose Clapp,
the plain speaking Senator from
Minnesota, said on that occasion:
An inconsistent and homogeneous
spectacle is presented when we load
one ship with food and clothing for
widows and orphans and load anoth-
er ship with the instruments with
which to make more widows and or
phans."

General News Notes

Carranza's agreement for ''com-
merciaP' use of the Mexican North
western railway for transportation
of supplies to the American expedi-
ton hunting Villa is not satisfactory
to the United States, it is said, but
shipments will be attempted under
the rules prescribed, and no effort
is to be made at present for further
agreement 1t is reported that no
train has left Juarez in two days, and
the problem is now regarded as mys-
FERROUS.
The anxiety of the Washington
Administration in the delicate situa-
ton which has arisen due to the at
tacks on several unarmed merchant
men was increased yesterday when
no word was received either directly
from Berlin or from Ambassador Ge-
rard. 1t is supposed that the Ger
man Government is awaiting reports
from all of its submarine command
ers before accepting responsibility
for the Sussex disaster or the attacks
on the Enghshman and Manchester
Engineer.

D. A. r. ENTERTAINED.

One of the most attractive affairs
of the week was the regular meeting
of the Logan-W Whitley Chapter of
Daughters of American Revolution,
at the home of Mrs. j. c. McClary,
on Portman avenue, Wednesday af-
ternoon. The members had a regu-
lar business meeting at two-thirty,
and it was definitely decided they
were to have another picture show in
a few weeks. Later in the afternoon
Mrs. McClary had as her guests, Mrs.
Robert Todd, Mrs. George B. Cooper,
Mrs. Joe B. Paxton, Mrs. T. K. Wat
son and Mrs. NJ. ID. Early. A very
interesting Revolutionary War acros-
tic, which was originated by the hos
tess, was given to each person. Mrs.
Cooper was lucky in the draw for a
lovely box of candy. Mrs. McClary
in her usual gracious southern way,
served a delectable salad course, be-
ing assisted by her daughter, Mrs.
Shelton M. Saufey. The members
of the Chapter who were also the
guests of Mrs. McClary were Mrs.
VIM. NJ. Bright, Mrs. Shelton M. Sau-
fey, Misses Sue Rout, Jennie War
rem, Esther Burch, Levisa Harris,

'HANDSOMEST
STORE IN STATE
Will Be Formally Opened to Friends
By Welsh & Wiseman at Danville
Saturday, April First.

What is said to be the handsom-
est store in Kentucky, regardless of
anything, will be formally thrown
open to the public at Dainville Satur-
day when the magnific ent building
of the Welsh & Wisemhn Company
will have its opening. Finished on
the outside in cream colored brick.
with front that for beauty and eX-
preston of good taste is without an
equal anywhere, the building is one
of the handsomest from an outside
view to be found in Kentucky. In its
three floor furnishings and equip
ment within, however, it is that the
rare good taste of the true connois-
seur has been shown. From top to
bottom every stick of the furniture
is of mahogany. Every article of fur
niture, every showcase, and all the
furnishings are of the very latest
design and model, chaste and con-
sentative with an elegance and rich
ness which commands instant atten-
ton. A host of people from this sec
ton are preparing to inspect the
beautiful building Saturday.
The building is practically four
stories in construction. There is a
basement with concrete floor under
the entire building. All goods are
opened up in the basement and made
ready for the sales rooms. All box
es are taken into the basement by
means of pavement elevator of the
latest type. The basement is thor
oughly ventilated. The building is
heated by a complete steam plant.
The first floor is used for the jew
elry, piece goods, gloves, hosiery, I'M
derwear, notions and fancy articles.
In the rear is most complete de-
partment for high grade shoes for la
dies, misses and children. The fix
lures are all of the best mahogany,
as are also the woodwork in the
elaborate show windows. In the
mezzanine floor are the cashiers
desk, private offices, ladies' rest room
and general Offices.
On the second floor is located the
ready-to-wear department, corset
and the new juvenile department,
and the beautiful new millinery de-
partment, fitting rooms, costume
rooms, muslin underwear department.
This floor is one of striking beauty
and is handsomely equipped.
On the third hoor are the carpets,
mattings, lace curtains, window
shades, upholstery goods, blankets,
comforts, trunks, suit gases and hand
bags in endless variety. The build
ing from basement to attic is pro-
tected against fire by a sprinkler sys-
tenn of the double type: The system
lis supplied with wstef .SSSn both TIE
water mains in the street and large
tank on tGE of the rear of the build
ing. The various floors are reached
by means of a stairway and an cleo
trio elevator of the most approved
design.

NICHOLASVILLE POST-OFFICE
To Be Filled In April by Democrat
Applicant Was Here

Among the visiting X. P.'s here for
the convention Tuesday was David
Bell, prominent business man of
Nicholasville, who is one of the two
contending applicants for appoint
ment as Postmaster of Nicholasville.
The term of the present republican
incumbent expires in April, and Con-
gresham Helm is expected to make
a recommendation at once to fill the
place with a democrat, as the repub-
lican has held on three years under
a democratic administration and the
democratic applicants for the place
are hungry for the pie" Mr.. Bells
opponent for the place is Editor
James Stears, of the Nicholasville
News, who is said to be expecting
Congressman Helms endorsement.
The fact that one of the chief back
ers of Mr.. Bell for the place, how
ever, is Bob Hunter, who has led
Congressman Helms fight in Jessa-
mine county for a number of years,
is said to make Mr.. Bell believe that
he has a royal chance for the ap-
pointment. Mr.. Hunter was here at
the convention also, but had nothing
to say for publication regarding the
pOstmastership fight at Nicholasville.
His friends intimated however, that
he has no doubt of the appointment
of Bell, declaring that Hunter has had
assurances for some length of time
which leave no question of where the
appointment will go.

IT'S NO REFLECTION ON YOU

1t is 10 reflection upon a single
subscriber to the |. j. that it is ask
ing each and every one of them to
pay in advance for their subscrip-
tions. The l. j. is compelled to take
this step simply because of the enor-
mously increasing cost of white print
paper. The |. ]. knows that each and
every name on its list is good for that
dollar whether paid at the beginning
or the end of the year and the fact
that it is stopping the paper of those
who have not paid for year in ad-
vance is no reflection upon a single
one of them whatsoever 1t is SIM
ply business matter, pure and SIM
pie. The daily papers and maya
zines all follow the same policy of
stopping a subscribers paper when
the time is up, unless paid in advance
for another year and the l. j. is COM
PEELED to operate on the same plan in
the future. Better look on your la
bel and see how you stand so as not
to miss a single issue.
