Most Successful Ever Held
Entertainment Excellent.

The Ohio County Baptist Associa.
ton in session last Wednesday anc

Horse Branch, was admitted to the
Association making now a total OF
forty-one Baptist churches in Ohio
county. Many visiting pastors and
laymen from other Associations were
present.
The entertainment by the Narrows
church could not be excelled. Much
interest was manifested throughout
the entire session. The body adj
journed Thursday evening to meet
with the Clear Run Baptist Church
Wednesday and Thursday after the
second Sunday in August, 1918.
The following officers were elected

Editor Henry Lawrence, of the Ca
diz Record, says: "The fellow who
is always going to the newspaper Of
flee and asking to be given a paper
should try his hand occasionally on
the grocery merchant, the dry goods
merchant, The druggist and so on.
Ask them to give you barrel Of flour,
suit of clothes. a new four-horse
wagon and such like. 1t costs money
to print newspapers just like it does
to buy merchandise, but there are a
few people who evidently do not
think So" Editor Lawrence expert
ences the same thing that most every
editor in the country does. There
are fellows in every town and COM
munity who think the newspaper
man is in business for his health, and
that a paper a week does not cost
anything, when, in reality the sub
scription price of the S1-a-vear pa
per does not pay for the paper it is
printed on.

NO GRACE FOR LIQUOR.

Even the calendar seems to be
against the manufacturers OF whisky.
The prohibition clause of the Food
Control Bill provides that after thr-
ty days from the date Of the approx
al of the Act, no foods, fruits, food
materials or feeds shall be used in
the production of distilled spirits for
beverage purposes. As the Act was
approved August 10, the thirty day
period will expire at midnight, Sep
TENDER Q. This date falls on Sunday
and the Internal Revenue Laws pre-
vent the operation of distilleries af-
ter IL o'clock at night on Saturday
until the following Monday. There
fore, the Food Administration has
ruled that the prohibitive section will
become effective at II o'clock p. m.
Saturday, September 8. 1t is report
ed that the whisky makers sought by
every stretch of technical interpreta-
ton of the law to secure twenty-four
hours more for distillation. They
even urged that they be allowed to
continue through Sunday so as to get
advantage of every possible minute
allowed, but the Revenue Laws, ac-
cording to the ruling, prevent this.
For the period of the war at least
the doom of whisky is sealed, and it
is believed by many that removal of
the distilleries from the list of con-
sumers of the food supply will prac-
tically place this country on a dry
basis by the time hostilities cease;
and that if National prohibition is
not brought about by that time, the
people will then demand and obtain
it.
The fight has been hard one; but
the strongholds have all been broken
down and the victory over rum seems
sure and soon. Already men Of means
and business capacity who have here
tofore devoted the best of their ener-
gies to the liquor industry are ar
ranging to establish other lines of
business, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that commerce and labor will
be greatly benefited by the transit
ton.

LITTLE SIDELIGHTS
ON THE BIG WAR

More than 100000 railway men are
in the British army.
Every United States warship is
soon to carry a Y. M. C. A. unit.
In the last great drive on the
Somme the British "tanks" consumed
100000 gallons of gas"
The shaft Of an aerial torpedo
which fell in London during raid
has brought $40 at rattle.
Based on. official figures, it is 'reck-
oned that $500 would pay Great Brit
aims war bill for about one and one
third seconds.
According to figures compiled by
the Royal Statistical Society, the rise
in food prices since the beginning of
the war is costing the seven million
inhabitants of Greater London not
less than $30O,OO0,OOO year.
The most remarkable case of rapid
promotion in the British army is that
of Gen. Freyburg, who enlisted as a
private in the very early months of
the war and at 81 is now a General
of Brigade, wearing the Victoria
Cross.
A single bakery, Somewhere in
France" turns out 100000 two-pound
loaves Of bread every day for the
British soldiers. This is only one of
many such establishments located be-
hind the Allies lines on the western
front.
Under favorable conditions of wind
and atmosphere the people living on
the southeast coast of England are
able to hear the sound of firing in
Flanders, while, still more remarka-
BILE, the recent terrible mine explos-
ions on the Messines sector were dis
tinctly heard near Dublin, distance
of $50 miles.
Some of the military airplanes are
now fitted with monographs, with a
speaking tube running to the mouth of
the observer, so that by talking into
the machine at any time during the
flight he can record his observations
and still have his hands free for his
field glass or his sketching pencil.
30 1t is said that by the latest meth
DDS of manufacture a German U-boat
can be completed in less than fifteen
days. The parts have been standar-
lied and are stamped out of the met
al at dozens of factories in all parts
of Germany, each plant specializing
in one part, which is dispatched with
out delay to the naval docks. There
thousands of machinists are waiting
for it, and two weeks from the time
the ore leaves the mine the U-boat
is ready for sea.
In France wild birds often provide
artillery observers with clews as to
the wheabouts of hidden batteries.
Birds rise in flocks from trees in the
vicinity of which guns are being
fired, and when there is lull in the
activities of the concealed artillery
many of them return to their former
perches. A trained observer can
quickly tell. from the erratic move
ments of flocks of birds, the approx
innate locality of gun batteries hid
den from his view.

Letter to Miss Carrie MilIard
- Riohts WRONG impression

A letter to Miss Carrie Millard,
chairman of the Omaha national sur-
gical dressings committee, rights a
wrong impression which was created
during the recent visit of H. P. Davl-
son, chairman of the Red Cross IL
nance committee. The letter, from
Frank Judson, Red Cross director for
Nebraska, follows:
Several persons have spoken to
i me relative to the remarks made by
MIR. Dawson, chairman of the Red
across finance committee, during his
interesting address at the Brandeis
theater last Friday, from which they
seem to have obtained the impression
that Mr.. Dawson did not approve OF
the work of the National Surgical
Dressings society.
This matter was brought to my at
tention before Mr.. Dawson left the
city and that gentleman informed me
that it was evident that his remarks
had created the wrong impression. He
was most enthusiastic in compliment
ing the work of this organization, and
does not feel that it is duplication
of the work of Red Cross. Both or
ganizations are working along similar
lines and doing a great work. The
National Surgical Dressings organi-
zation is a national auxiliary of the
. American Red Cross, and, on account
OF the nature of the work, is probably
more closely identified in France than
in this country, although the organi-
zations are closely allied and CO.
operate in every particular in the
United States.
"Those interested in Red Cross ap'
preciate greatly the assistance OF your
