SOCIAL PURITY
CHARLOTTE +. WHITE. OF CHILD
CONSERVATION LEAGUE
SPEAKS HERE.

Charlotte T.. White, national lee
turer for the Child's Conservation
League of America, spoke at the
Baptist church last night on Social
Purity"
The speaker told that parents were
often too eager TO remedy the physi-
cal and mental ills of their children,
to the elimination of ministrations to
the moral welfare of their offspring.
Miss White reminded her audience
that it is frequently the child who is
the most difficult to control at home
who attains the greater success in
his or her after life.
we must look to the great mas
ter, Christ, for the proper method
of training" said Miss White. "A
well told story at the psychological
moment has turned the tide of many
a boys and girls life"
Miss Whites reminder to fathers
and mothers was that the tragedies
of i'll disciplined children are boom
erangs, the tragedies OF sad, disap-
pointed fathers and mothers, the re
turn blows. Warning was given that
the greatest weapons Of evil are Sc
crecy and deceit, and that there lies
greater danger in sex information
from impure sources.

new LIBRARY BOARD
MEMBERS POINT OUT TO CITY
COMMISSION LARGE APPRO-
PRIATION Is NECESSARY.

Growing demand for reading at
the Carnegie library is causing an
increase in the expense of maintain
ing that institution.
Prior to rendering their resigna-
lions at last nights meeting of the
city commission, members of the
Carnegie library board, pointed out
TO the city commissioners that il now
requires more money to operate the
library than it did two or three
years ago. The board pointed out
that while the library's expense for
three years, prior to the last fiscal
year. had been about $1,100, a levy
of $1,000 now would be required, if
the institution is to come up TO the
demands made upon it. Members of
the board pointed out that with the
former limited appropriations, it had
been impossible to purchase much
needed books or to get old books re-
bound. No definite action was taken
with regard to the requested levy.
The members of the 1915-1916
board-Rev. Mgr. T. A. Flynn, ID. d.
Holdridge and Mrs. l.. NJ. Tolles-
toA hthy Ia vi htI lhdl Il DOdl tOuI0
be chosen in accordance with the
new law, which provides that five
members, instead of three, as for
merly, shall comprise boards of ed
u%cation. A new board was appoint
ed, as follows: S. r. May, one year;
Rev. Mgr. T. A. Flynn and Mrs. Scott
Mcknight, two years; ID. ID. Hold
ridge and Mrs. l.. NJ. Tolles, three
years. A chairman will be elected
at a meeting of the board which will
be held early next month.
The boards expense last year was
$1,273.12, and the amount permitted
of the expenditure of only $3.50
for new books, $23.45 for reminding
books and $65.65 for periodicals. 1t
is said that the amount available for
new books is inadequate. To further
economic, the telephone has been
removed from the library.

who run into Madison. In the past
he had made occasional trips to the
city as extra passenger conductor.

CREAMERY
PROPOSITION
Submitted To The Dairy Cattle
Association at Last
Meeting.

The Dairy Cattle Association of
Christian county held a meeting Fri
day with President R. C. Gary in the
chair.
The most important matter up was
an application from j. E. Crider, of
Caldwell county, for certain guaran-
tees to induce him to open a creamery
in Hopkinsville. Mr.. Order has a
similar enterprise in Caldwell county
and has the capital and experience to
make the business a success.
He wants $50 cows contracted for
as start and is satisfied that business
will develop rapidly. There is an
ever increasing demand for dairy and
creamery products and the entire out
put of the proposed new creamery
could be sold in advance. Another
conference on the subject will be held

BLIZZARD
SwOOpS Down on Us Before
The Old One Was

THIS TIME WITH SNOW
Mercury lowered Close Around
The Zero Point Yesterday
Morning.

Another blizzard came close on the
heels of the thaw and snow Saturday
and Sunday and yesterday morning
the mercury was down to the lowest
point this winter, close to zero. Three
inches of snow fell Sunday, which
showed no signs of melting yester-
day. The best the weather clerk has
to offer for to-day is ''fair and not so
cold"
The zero weather has caused a good
deal of suffering in the city and many
people are made to feel the discom-
forts of rigorous winter.
Plumbing is out Of repair in many
homes as a result of the freeze and
travel is everywhere interfered with.
The very cold weather will handi-
cap the tobacco market again this
week, as it cannot be worked to any
advantage in such extreme weather.

Hammering Away, at;
Ottoman Troops
GERMANS FIGHTING INPERak
Montenegro Continues, Center
Of Engagements. -.QuietOn
Other Fronts

London, Jan. 1.-THE Turks are
being attacked by both Russians and
British. In the Caucasus the Russians,
greatly reinforced, are on the often
sive along front of almost a hundred
miles, while in Mesopotamia the Brit
ish have forced the retirement of the
Ottoman troops along both banks of
the Tigris river TO the south of Kut-
El-Amara, and still are closely, press
ing them on the east and the north.
Constantinople reports that neal
Karadach the Russians were defeated
with heavy casualties, while 2etro-
grad asserts that at some unnamed
place large number of Turkish Off
GERS and men, war materials and pro-
visions, eight guns and eight machine
guns were captured by the Russians.
Successes for the Russians in the
fighting in Persia are also claimed by
Petrograd. In its official report Pet
rograd makes the first announcement
that the Germans are fighting with
the Turks in this region.
The Turks in retreat along the Ii
girls are those who have held back
General Aylmer's column, proceeding
up the river to the relief of the Brit
ish in Kut-El-Amara.
On the other fronts, except in Mon
tenegro, little fighting is in progress.
The offensive of the Russians in East
Galicia and along the Bessarabiau
front has again died down. Iu France
and Belgium operations consist MAIN
| ly of artillery duelS and mining and
counter-mining work The big Brit
ish guns have thrown shells into Lille.
but Berlin says only slight damage
was done.
In Montenegro the Austro-HuAga
rians continue their pursuit of the
Montenegrins, capturing from them
positions and men. Podgoritza, to
the east Of Cettinie, and Nisic, are
the latest places reported evacuated.
The Montenegro government is
now at Scutari, Albania, according to
an unofficial report from Berlin. Ad-
vices from Rome say that the Italian
cabinet has begun plans for giving
adequate assistance to Montenegro
and Serbia, but the nature of this aid
and the manner in which if will be
given is not stated.

Edison People Say 1t Was Not
Caused by Their Storage
Battery.
SECRET MEETING OF BOARD
Several of Injured Men in Seri-
GUS Condition and Not Ex.
peCted to Recover.

New York, Jan. IA statement
indicating that the new Edison stor-
age battery was not in any way re-
sponsible for the explosion on the
submarine E-2 at the New York navy
yard Saturday was made by Miller
Reese Hutchinson, chief engineer for
Thomas A. Edison, and a member of
the nuval consulting board.
The preliminary inquiry into the
explosion was held in secret by the
board of inquiry appointed by Rear
Admiral Usher, commandant of the
navy yard. Neither Admiral Usher
nor any Of those present would dis
cuss what occurred at the inquiry.
Persons on board or near the Ed at
the time of the explosion were ques-
toned at length, however.
Rear Admiral Usher made the fol-
lowing formal statement:
''Thc board of inquiry met yester-
day and went aboard the submarine
where they conducted a thorough i'm
vestigation. The investigation was
not finished and therefore the board
will again meet. No conclusion was
reached"
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
is expected to name board of inquiry
to conduct formal investigation, left
for Washington without making any
statement regarding the explosion
AT the tnavy yard inquirers were
turned away with the statement tina
Rear Admiral Usher and the other,
conducting the inquiry had nothing
to say"
AT the hospitals where the injured
were taken it was said several of then
were in a serious condition and one
is expected to die.
Nothing approXlmahng an oftlcla
theory as to the cause of the explosion
which resulted in the death of foul
workmen and the injury of ten other:
was obtainable.
The only light shed upon the disas
ter contained in the statement of Mr.
Hutchinson, who absolved from blam,
the Edison battery designed to mini
mize the danger to submarine crew
resulting from accumulations of gas
The Ed was the only boat thus ia
equipped with these batteries, tn
tests of which were reported to b
thoroughly satisfactory.

GOOD YEAR
In The School Work of Chris

Last year was a record breaker for
the rural schools of Christian county.
Not only was great progress made in
the schools themselves, but a spirit of
interest and cooperation between
county superintendent, board of edu-
cation, teachers, trustees, pupils and
patrons was cemented which did
much, and which promises even great
er things for the future. Eleven new
buildings were erected at cost of
$10,967. Seventeen old buildings were
repaired or improved, this cost ST.
