1.-THE LINEUP
FOR CONGRESS"

We see in the last issue of The
Mountain Advocate" the paper
as we all know that is issued in
the home town of our present
member of Congress, Mr.. Caleb
Powers, O very strong indorse-
ment of Hon. }. M. Robson for
the seat in Congress now held by
MIR. Powers.
We have not the time just now
to comment on that Endorsement
of that distinguished lawyer.
able jurist, good citizen, open
hearted Christian gentleman,
whose ability throughout the
state stands second to no man in
his chosen profession, other than
to pause and say I'VE most
heartily indorse the sentiments
contained in that editorial and
expect, if Mr.. Robson enters
that race. to throw the columns
of The Corbin Times open 10 his
interests, with our best wishes
and most earnest efforts to for
ward his already great promises
of success"
For many years in this section
of the state, Mr.. Robson has
been most favorably known at
the Bar as an acknowledged
leader; as a neighbor and friend
he is always welcomed; to the
poor and needy his hands and
purse are always open; to the
churches and schools his valuable
friendship has always been
sought, not in vain, but answered
with liberality that is always
appreciated.
We feel that that mantle Of
Congressional honor could find
no shoulders that would more
ably bear the burden nor no in
tellect that would more nearly
bring Kentucky's past standard
of greatness amcng her former
Congressman up to her cid time
level of respect from the whole
Nation, than would Hon. J, M.
Robson.
The COrbin Times is and will
be for him TO the last. -Corbin
Times.

applicants and two out of the
three that did pass.
We go the assertion that if
Guy is given the chance he will
deliver the body of the Kaiser
into the hands of the President
of the United States, and that he
will return home to his mother
and sister with some stars in his
crown; he has the make up to do
or die, aid if he does not make
a record in this fight we will be
sadly mistaken.
We intended to show you an
other one of Knox county's brave
young men in this issue, but we
failed to get the cut in time, so
you may look for it in our next
issue.

Powers Is Still Popular

Hon. Caleb Powers. our rep
rssentative in Congress from
this district, addressed the peo-
PIE of this county last week,
speaking at six different points
in the county. At each place
he was greeted by a tremen-
dous outpouring of the people,
and at each place his remarks
were earnestly listened to and
applauded vociferously. His re-
marks were explanatory of how
this nation became involved in
the World War, and other things,
all of his speech meeting with
the hearty approval of the people
who heard him.
Before entering this county
last week, Mr.. Powers toured
Monroe county, making several
speeches, and at each appoint
ment the buildings would not
hold the crowds that came to hear
him. The admiration in which
Mr.. Powers is held by the people
of this part of the state seems to
grow stronger year by year and
in each successive visit is more
plainly shown. We predict that
next year. when he will be a
candidate to succeed himself, he
will find his opposition very weak
indeed, if any at all. So we say,
let's make it unanimous. Cory
Weekly, -Advt.

SOLDIER BOYS SHOWN
GREAT TIME

Last FRIDAY morning was the
time set by the Army Officers for
the departure of the AZ boys who
had been selected by the draft
laws to take their leave for the
cantonment at Camp Taylor
where they will be hastily trained
and then sent to the trenches in
France to assist in placing the
flag of this Nation over the tower
ing spires of the Capital of the
land of plutocracy and anarchy,
Germany.
As was arranged by the COM
mittee the procession was formed
at 900 a. m. headed by a brass
band. the first in the line was
the school children about 500 of
them We're in line they were pre-
ceeded by six young women from
the High School who carried a
large flag, then came 60 little girls
entirely encompassed by a stream
err of bunting of stars and stripes,
then came the entire force from
the Hickory mill carrying their
flag and each man and woman
of that force carried a piece of
hickory turned as a walking cane
and a small flag, they were under
the command of Col. 7. w. Min
ton, who handled them like the
commanding officer of an army,
Miss Nola Minton, was right on
the job, it was she that furnished
the flowers to the boys. then came
the citizens who fell in line with
out picking his partner, it was a
time when politics, religion and
conditions of life were forgotten
for the time and all joined in the
parade with the only intent of
showing the boys that we are in
sympathy with them and that we
would ever remember them, and
that we wished to be remember
ed by them even though they
were in a foreign land fighting
a foreign enemy for the love of
humanity.
Just behind the white citizens
came our patriotic and liberty
loving colored citizens with their
own brass bat d heading their
part Of the parade with their
school children at the head Of
their column, and then their citi-
Zens. The enIle procession was
something near one half mile
long and when the front of the
procession had reached the depot
they were halted. the column was
opened so that the scleier boys
could pass between those Of their
lovers and admirers in order that
each might have a chance 20 say
good bye and that the boys might
look into the faces of those who
hold them in kind remembrance.

NACK

Last Tuesday morning at about
three o'clock, Mrs, Eta Shaffer
Black, wife of DR.. W. c. Black,
died at their home on Knox st.
Mrs. Black had been in deli
cate health most all summer and
grew worse until few days ago
when she appea, ed to be getting
along nicely. Sunday she became
worse, and while all was done
for her that medical skill could
do, she passed peacefully away.
We are told that she had a COM
plication of diseases, and that
she got beyond medical skill be-
fore she or any of the family
was fully aware of the fact.
Mrs. Black was born in Rey-
noldsville, Pa. on March 25th,
1883, and died September 25th,
1917, age 81 years and 6 months.
Besides her husband, she leaves
four children, three sons and one
daughter. her father and mother
and brothers and - sisters
who are heartbroken at the sad
and untimely death of their loved
one. She was a good woman
with more than the ordinary in
teligence; a hard worker in the
Church, a member of the Civic
League and many other societies
and clubs; she was one of that
kind of good women that could be
counted on when there was work
to be done for the betterment of
the community.
Mrs. Black will be sadly
missed by all her neighbors and
friends, but the place that can
can never be filled, is in the home
and around the fireside of w. C.
Black. Many times the footsteps
of others will be mistaken for
hers by the heartbroken father
and little ones who will look and
listen for mother, and their calls
will only be answered by the echo
of their own voice until that day
when the summons shall come
for the faithful to arise then they
shall see and know her again.
Mrs. Black was a member of
Methodist Church, and lived a
devoted Christian. Her funeral
was held at the First M. E.
Church at 2 p. m. Wednesday,
and the body was placed in the
family vault in the city cemetery
at 3 p, m. To the bereaved hus-
band and family of this good
woman, we tender our tenderest
sympathies.

THE WIDEOPEN DOOR

Il IL now regarded In some quarters
mentas evidence of intellectual advance
rnent to smile condescendingly at those
who declaim about patriotism liberty.
fraternity and equality. But never be-
fore have these things possessed so
much substance and so much truth as
today. Librty as self-government, as
willing submission to self-imposed law
and to benificent institutions, is more
clearly than ever the only escape from
the opposite calamities OF license and
tyranny. Fraternity, or the sense or
fellowship and mutual dependence Ia
the only thing which can save our hu-
man relations from the meanness OF
obseuuiousness and from the hateful
ness of arrogance Equality, the recog-
milton of the common lot and the com
mon humanity, the wide-open door OF
opportrnlty, remains the only gospel
by which men may be saved from the
bitterness of undeserved failure OF the
false pride OF undeserved success. These

Try This for
Fat Reduction
Take Seven Deep Breatis Twice Daily

If your weight Is increasing. or IL
you are already too stout, you will be
interested In learning that there Is a
method of fat reduction, said by many
to be very wonderful and yet not re-
quiring severe rules of starvation diet
or strenuous exercises.
One of the essential features Of this
easier, saner, safer plan is deep breath
ing in the outdoor air. This helps sup.
ply the needed oxygen to the blood
for purifying the blood and improving
circulation and assimilation. Another
part of the treatment is the taking OF
a small dose of oil of korein after each
meal and before retiring at night; also
in following the simple directions that
come with the box.
1t Is a pleasant, simple system of fat
