DRINKING UNTO "sIN."

A st. Louis Bishop declares that
sin does not "lie in drinking liquor,
but drinking to excess. - He does
not believe in prohibition, but thinks
laws should be provided to prevent
man from overindulgence.
Perhaps the Bishop is right, or
rather believes he is right about the
sin" OF drinking, but what we can I
quite understand is what would be
the nature of the law that would
prevent the man who drinks from
doing it to excess.
Surely ii would not be a law to
penalize the one addicted to alcohol,
for II is too Well known that man
who has become a slave to booze
would go within an Inch Of his life"
for a drink, and the fear of punish
ment by fine or imprisonment would
not be effective at all in preventing
one from committing the "sin" of
which the Bishop speaks.
We cannot make ourselves believe

G. A. Ralph For Sheriff.

We are announcing in this issue
the candidacy of Mr.. G. A. Ralph
for the Republican nomination for
Sheriff of Ohio county. Mr.. Ralph
once before presented himself to the
voters of Ohio county as a candi-
date. but met with defeat. Like the
true-blue Republican that he is, he
took his defeat as man and has
continuously since that time deyot-
ed his very best efforts to the inter-
est and success of the Republican
party in Ohio county. The party has
at various times imposed upon him
the duty of precinct. committeeman
or other committee work during
campaigns and at times when his
services were needed. and In every
instance he has proven himself a
worthy servant and faithful to the
trust imposed. He feels now that
the Republican voters of the county
will recognize the fact that he de-
serves their recognition and sup
port and II he is given the nomina-
ton which he now seeks he assures
bis party that he will make every
effort possible and every needed sac
rifice 10 secure a Republican victory
at the final election in November.

RURAL SCHOOL LIFE AND
RURAL SCHOOL CONFERENCE

There is no more important de
and Rural School Conference, which
! is to be held at the Normal SchooI
in Bowling Green, during the week
of February 18th to Esd, than that
of the Rural Church Section.
i--- Il large number OF ministers havt
already signifed their intentions oil
being here and enjoying the big
feast of knowledge on this subject,
as will be unfolded by DR.. Warren

try Church Work of the Presbyter-
ian Church, U. S. A.
DR.. Wilson will give two or three
lectures before the entire assembly
of people. In addition to this he
will work with the ministers in spe-
cial meetings. His work will be-,
very broad in its scope of general in

national in its bearings on the things
that he will teach. 1t is earnestly

ference, that every minister in this
district of Kentucky will try to be
with us during that week. Your in
fluence at the Conference will be
helpful. to say nothing of the good
things that will have the opportuni-
ty of hearing yourself, which will
renew your energies in your work
at home and while You will in real
fty be taking a we'll earned vacation,
you will be using it to good advan-
tage for future work.
DR.. j. B. Adams, the presiding
elder of the Bowling Green District,
has called the Pastors Missionary In
stitute to meet with the Conference.
This action on the part of DR.. Ad-
ans will be sure to secure the min
inters who are part of the institute
and will give them a splendid
chance to meet the leaders from all
walks of life and from many sec
tions of the country. and to study
the best methods for community de-
velopment.

Be Stocked With Wild Deer.

Frankfort. KY, Feb. 2.-Wild
deer will run free in the Kentucky
mountains this year for the first
time within the memory of most OF
the present generation. The State
Game and Fish Commission has de-
cided to set free in that vicinity
some of the deer now confined on
the. Pine Mountain reservation, and
send some of those. from the pens at
Louisville to the wooded country be-
tween the Tennessee and Cumber-
land rivers in Western Kentucky.
A st. Louis firm owns $4,000
acres Of timber land and has offered
IT'D use for a reservation. The Com
mission will continue the policy Of
buying a few deer each year and
keeping the nucleus of the herd ON
the reservation to breed and accus-
tom the newcomers to the mountain
environments.
Chairman Joseph G. Sachs, Jr..
said that great results have been
realized from educational work lin
awakening the general public to the
necessity for fish and game conserva-
ton. He spoke of the, general CO.
