Der of the Christian church and for
35 years had held his membership at
the Fairview church near his home.
He gave literally of his means to the
support of this church and its
members will miss him from their
leadership. He was an elder of this
church. The funeral services were
conducted there by Rev. finder, after
which interment took place at the
Paint Lick cemetery Wednesday
morning.-Lancaster Record.
Miss Mary E. Cooley, aged "a years
died at her home in Lexington We'd
nesday, after after protracted i'll
ness and the infrmities incident to old
age. Deceased was one of eleven
children, all of whom have passed to
the Great Beyond, with the exception
of two sisters. She was born and
reared near Baldwin, Madison county,
where she spent the greater portion
of her life. A few years ago she
moved to Lexington. Funeral services
were held at Baldwin Thursday after
noon, conducted by Rev. o. ]. Young,
of the Christian church, thence the
interment in the old Stocker burying
ground near Baldwin.
1t has been said that "trOuble never
comes singly." For the past two
months Mr.. Steve Elvis, proprietor of
the F. S. E. Restaurant, has been con-
fined to his home on East Main street
suffering with lung trouble. About
three weeks ago, Ellen, the six
months old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elvis, their only child and pride of
the household, contracted a severe
case of measles and a few days later
bronchial pneumonia developed. The
little patient rapidly grew from bad
to worse, and Tuesday night of last
week about eleven o'clock, the little
sufferer passed from this sphere of
suffering, misery and sorrow to that
land beyond the stars, where grief
and suffering and misery are un-
known. Funeral services were con-
Quoted at the home Wednesday after
noon at three o'clock by Father
Schultz, pastor of st. Marks Catholic
church, thence the burial in the Rich
mond cemetery. The little grave was
covered with the choicest flowers. The
heartfelt sympathy of the community
goes out to the grief-stricken parents.

Scrapping the Flunkies.

One OF the trSt steps in organizing
for efficient production is to abolish
the flunkies and the valet" says Mr..
Gompers, in one of his pithy COM
ments about the war.
Mr.. Gompers is right. Fifth Ave
nue. and Newport may smile indul-
gently at this bit of gratuitous ad-
vice from a labor leader who has
often flayed them in the past. Never
theless, when Congress completes its
job of shooting up taxes to the skies,
Fifth Avenue may decide, after all,
that Mr.. Gompers is indisputably
right, and abolish flunkies along with
other relics of a slothful and lu1curi-
Gus peace.
It is curious to strike a keynote
like this at time of vast war changes.
1t is a shrill, thin note against a
somber diapason. Yet it blends cas-
lily into the whole because it is more
representative of the new spirit than
anything else that Mr.. Gompers
could have cited; the funlzy is the
most obvious and the cheapest part
of the trappings of the parvenu; he
is a waste of man-power that war
cannot tolerate for a moment; he
stands for a psycophahtic, anti-dem-
ocratic, false standard of values that
tumble to the ground when nation
turns to the grim business of war
organization.
Exit the flunky and the valet!
Let him jump into khaki, enlist as
a harvest hand, go to honest work.
The rich that harbor and develop his
kind should be forced to go to work
also. Idlers, parasites, nonproduc-
tive males of every class, rich or
poor, influential or uninfluential,
these assuredly are the first that the
selective conscription law should call
into the service of the nation.

OLD GLORY.

Old Glory, the pride of our nation,
Thou beautiful flag of the free.
We cherish the light Of thy station
That gladdens the land and the sea.
Invincible banner Of freedom,
Thou signal of true liberty,
nlumine our souls with thy glory
Oh, beautiful flag of the free!
CHORUS.
Thou beautiful flag Of the free,
Thou beautiful iag Of the free,
Old Glory, the pride of our nation
Oh, beautiful flag of the free!-
We welcome the sweet inspiration,
That comes from thy peaceabIe foIds,
And reckon in mute admiration,
The glories thy future shall hold.
The nations are dipping their banners
And pressing thy spirit of grace,
To fetter the. hand of the tyrant
And hasten the blessings of peace.
Our land Is secure in thy shadow,
For justice abideth with thee;
Thy goodness spreads over the nation,
As waters encompass the sea.
We honor the names Of our heroes
And treasure the blessing they gave,
And vow In sincerest devotion:
Old Glory forever shall wave!

Folk We Touch in Passing
BY JULIA CHANDLER.
"AS A TWIG Is BENT"

AS The Boy got into his clothes early
in the morning he always sang or whis-
tied, and his joyous prelude to the day
rang merrily through the house, cheering
everybody who heard 1t, until one day
the Foolish Mother poked her head in
at the door and informed The Lad that
those who "sing before breakfast cry be-
fore supper" an old superstitution which
The Boy would doubtless have forgotten
had 1t not been a coincident that his
day did, in fact. go very wrong before
the evening shadows gathered.
Singing too loudly before breakfast
commented the Foolish Mother in expla-
nation, and The Boy. too young to dis
count superstltions. accepted what she
said as truth. and thereafter he curbed
the song that rose to his lips as a natural
expression Of his youth and happiness.
1t seemed 10 him in after years but a
trtfling incident. yet he was sure It was
the beginning of the fear that warped
his life, for always, after he became
afried to sing in the mornings. he con-
formed his other actions to the same prin-
ciple until it came about that the song
was hushed at all times because it might
be followed by tears.
For IT never occurred to The Roy that
the flowers do not hesitate 10 bloom to-
day because the time will come when
they must fade. nor the sun refuse to
shine now because there may be rain
tomorrow,
And so It came about that The Boy be-
came The-Man-W Who Was Afried, his
highest possibilities checked by the fear
of calamity that lay just around the
bend in the road.
Several times opportunity knocked at
his door, but when TheMan-Who-Was-
Afried looked to see who sought admit
tance he was panic stricken because of
what might happen II he let the strange
guest come in.
Each time he decided It was better TO
go his slow plodding way rather than
take chances"
And one day he went home to tell The
Girl that he had lost his position.
As he stood before his pretty young
wife, holding out the slip which he had
found on his desk that morning he no.
ticed that she was not so pretty or so
young as in the yesterday of their love.
for she, too, was becoming a wreck on
the shoals of The Mans foolish fear,
although he did not know to just what he
should attribute the change in her.
The Girl turned the slip over and over
In her fingers.
II think" she said. that it is because
you have been afraid to be happy"
After this she told him that she would
take the children to her fathers home
until NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. could go
away to new town and get a fresh
start and as he listened The Man smiled
strange and twisted smile, to which
The Girl gave no thought until news came
to her Of his suicide.
Whereupon her own smile became as
twisted thing as she told herself that
the man she had married had been a
coward through and through
Afraid n -.
said.
For, of course, she knew nothing Of the
Foolish Mother who began early the de-
struction of The Boys faith when in those
boyhood days she had bent the twig in
the way 1t would grow, as it is quite
within the power of mothers to do.

A Warning!

Open or covert resistance to the
selective draft is in the twilight zone
bordering on treason. To seduce any
youth into perjury or "slackerism'
is all but a capital crime.
The first arrests and indictments
under this law came yesterday. There
will be others, 1t is a hazardous
business for enemy agents to dip into;
nevertheless, it is being done. Even
the Socialists, or certain unrepresen-
tative cart-tail ranters trafficking in
the name of Socialism, are raising a
cry against the conscription law in
the name of the Constitution.
This law merely makes selection
from a whole nation that has volun-
teered for service" said the Presi-
dent recently. What is to be thought
of those puny-spirited Americans, in
cluding the white-livered pacifists,
who are worming their flabby doc
trine into those whom the law has
called, and who are attempting to
breed an anarchic disregard of the
law?
Conscientious objectors" of the
Bertrand Russell type, Quakers and
other passivists, are not to be forced
into war service against their will.
The law provides only that those
prove beyond cavil their genuine
Identification with these sects, that
they do not make this plea as a cloak
for a Stacker spirit This is entirely
apart from the insidious resistance
to the law which Secret Service
agents are now hunting down.
There are many cross-currents Of
sophistry and falsehood, and worse,
circulated by enemy agents in the
United States today. They are free
beyond precedent in any belligerent
nation. When they rise to incite re-
sistance to the draft law, they should
be crushed under heel without mercy.

War Taxes.

Fresh from an official tour of the
West, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo announces that he finds the
country ready and willing to carry
the burden of $1,000, 100000 a year in
war taxes and that the explanation
of the needs of the government
brought ready and gratifying re-
sponse.
The optimistic note of the Secre-
tary is not surprising. 1t would be
surprising were it otherwise. Had he
touched upon the ways and means by
which the government expects to
raise this stupendous amount of
money, however, it is doubtful,
whether his remarks would have
have struck such a responsive chord.
The war revenue bill as it passed
the House of Representatives was
an unscientific and hastily conceived
hodge-podge of schedules that salts
fled none except those who assisted
in drafting it and not altogether sat-
isfactory to those solons.
1t was thrust upon the Senate with
the certain knowledge that in the ma
iority of its schedules it would be
rewritten and the Senate is now en-
gagged in that task. From the manner
in which the Upper Branch has ap-
piled itself to the work of remodeling,
it is doubtful whether Majority
Leader Kitchin and his colleagues
will recognize their child in its new
dress.
Further reductions made by the
Senate Finance Committee yesterday
were exemptions on motion-pic-
ture films, jewelry and chewing gum.
The gross sales tax on athletic goods,
perfumeries, cosmestics and proprie-
tary medicines is replaced by a stamp
tax providing the same revenue by a
different method. Many more impor-
tant schedules have not been reached
including the inequitable advance in
second class postal rates and excess
profits tax.
Already the Senate has made vast
improvements in the bill and it is
gratifying that they refuse to be hur-
ried. These taxes are going to be
