EFFICACY OF
PRAYER
Frankfort Woman ,and Butler
County Man Firm in Their
Convictions.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. l5.-The eff
cacy of prayer was revealed in at
least two instances in connection with
the national election. One good
Democratic woman in Frankfort said
when she heard the news that
Hughes was ahead election night, she
kneeled down and said: Lord,
can't do anything; it's up to you to
save the nation" About O'Clock
she awoke, and she said. 81 heard
a neighbor's rooster growing and |
said to myself, my prayer is an
swered, and turned over and went
back to sleep"
Down in the edge of Butler county,
where Attorney General Logan was
speaking just before the election, an
old man went up to him after the
speech and said:
"Jedge, speakin's all right, and we
ought to work for Wilson, but | be-
lieve in prayer. Every night | get
down on my knees and pray to Gawd
to help us beat hell out of I'm"

U. c. Y. REUNION
MAY 2S-JUNE 2
Plan Elaborate Program Of
Entertainment During the
18th Annual Meeting.

The executive committee in charge
of arrangements for the next reunion
of United Confederate Veterans to be
held in Washington City has designat-
ed May, q to June 2, 1917, as the
dates for that event. H. F. Cary,
chairman of the finance committee,
.announced that at a recent meeting of
railroad officials a one cent fare per
mile each way had been agreed upon
as patriotic and sentimental conces-
sion to the Confederate Veterans, and
that in making this arrangement the
railroads were actually putting into
effect rate less than cost. The eff
feet of this, he explained, would be to
bring a record-breaking gathering,
comparable only to the inaugural
crowds and possibly surprising them.
The committee will raise S40,0 to
entertain the veterans while they are
in Washington and there will be an
elaborate program of entertainment,
with side trips to Baltimore, to the
Gettysburg battlefield, to New York
City and other places.

was more a cross between a sigh, a
groan and a yawn. There was such
a tinge of 6istaste and aggressiveness
in il, it was said, that HipShire was
both elected and arrested. "Dis-
turbing public worship was the
charge filed in the County Court on
