SHOW YOUR COLORS

How many American flags are
floating to the breeze in this town?
There should be more. They should
be shown in every home. They
should float from every building.
They should be in evidence every
where. 1t is not seemly that we go
about the streets shouting our
Americanism into every ear, but if
proper and right that we show our
own colors by displaying the ma
tional colors. And the largest flag
of all should be proudly flown

KENTUCKY's FOURTH e0-T0-
SUNDAY-SCH00L DAY MAY 9Th,

When the Kentucky Sunday
School Association suggested that
May 3, 1914 we observed as state
Go To Sunday School Day, when
the work of the Sunday Schools of
the state should be presented every
where, and all the Sunday Schools
asked to try TO double their at
tendance on thatsday, it did not real
ize that it was starting a movement
that in so short time would reach
ali over the entire country.
The slogan for that first year was
"Wanted-One Million People in the
Sunday Schools of Kentucky on
May 3, 1914" Everywhere the
people heartily co-operated, the
newspapers thoroughly advertised
it, all kinds of invitations were
sent out, parades and house vista
tions were used. Governor James
B. McCreary issued proclama-
ton, that was the first ever issued
by governor of any state, calling
the people of the state and all Wis
itors to Sunday School. President
Woodrow Wilson sent telegram to
Rev. Geo. A. Joplin, the General
Secretary of the Association en-
dorsing the movement and saying
"The Sunday School Lesson of to-
day is the code of morals of to-
morrow. Too much attention can
not be given to the work that is be-
ing done by the Sunday School
teachers in the Sunday Schools"
The result was that the number of
people in Sunday School in Ken
lucky that day was double what it
had ever been before, and later re-
ports showed that forty thousand
people were enrolled as permanent
members of the Sunday School.
The success of the first effort
was so great that the Kentucky
Sunday School Association decided
to make the day a permanent part
Of the work of the Association in
developing Greater and Better Sun
day Schools for Greater and
Better Kentucky. The second year
the million people came to Sunday
School and many more of them be-
came regular attendants. Then the
slogan was enlarged to "a Million
People in Kentucky with the Sun
day School Habit"
In the meantime other states had
been watching Kentucky and seeing
the success attained, have followed
in appointing such days for their
states, The following states have
already observed such days, Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Missis-
sippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and the Provi-
dence Of Sas Katchewan in Canada.
This year Kentucky will hold its
fourth Go-To- Sunday School Day
on May 9th and the same day will
be observed by Virginia, Idaho and
Washington. The International
Committee has appointed commit
tee to consider a plan for making
such day part of the program of
the work of the Internationl Asso-
citation suggesting that day might
be selected that could be observed
by all the states at the same time.
Every Kentuckian should be
proud of the fact that this move
ment, which has attracted so much
attention, and has added thousands
of people to the Sunday Schools of
America, originated in Kentucky,
and should respond to the call that
is now being issued to attend the
Sunday School of his choice on May

How Belgian Nathan Hale met his
death gloriously is recomted by the
French newspapers. His name was
Meets, and he was secretary of a group
of letter carriers who refused to sign
the German formula of voluntary"
service and would not be coerced into
working for the Germans. He was
convicted with three other letter car
riers of belonging to an espionage or
ganiZation and sentenced to be shot.
The trial took place in the chamber of
the Belgian senate at Brussels, and 1t
is certain, the French commenters say,
that more noble or touching address
was never uttered in that historic tenn
pie of eloquence than that made by the
humble Meets to his judges after hear
ing his doom pronounced

OF the two preceding winters of the
war, says Henry Wood in message
to the Exchange Telegraph company,
according to the Pail Mall Gazette.
Warmth, both internally and exter-
nally, is the keynote Of Frances care
of her troops. A French soldier, cloth
ed in all the garments which the gov
eminent provides and requires to be
worn in winter, has his general dimen-
sions increased by several inches in
nearly all directions.
The first article Of clothing which a
French soldier must now put on, and
which is absolutely obligatory, is his
wooden cholera belt. He next dons a
suit Of wooden underwear and is re-
quired to have at all times with him
three pairs Of wooden socks, so that
his feet may be kept not only warm,
but dry. The war has demonstrated
that it is more dampness than cold
that produces frozen feet. After the
wooden underwear comes the shirt,
then a knitted sweater followed, of
course, by the uniform and overcoat.
Then on top Of all this comes the
sheepskin jacket, which every soldier
now has, and wooden neckscarf, steel

wished to be perfectly impartial in Dor
rowing customs from her allies, she
took the English tea and added to it
the Russian custom of dash of rum.
AS a rule the soldiers are not any too
fond Of tea, but they argue that it is
well worth the while to drink just to
get the flavor Of rum that goes with it.
All are unanimous, however, in declar-
ing that the combination certainly does
keep them warm.
