THE GO.TO.SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY
MOVEMENT

Early in 1914 the officers Of the
Kentucky Sunday School Association,
at the suggestion of the General Sec
rotary, decided to designate the first
Sunday In May as Go-to-Sunday-
School Day and to ask each Sunday
School to observe that day. The Gov
ernor of the State issued a procla-
nation calling upon all the people OF
the State to attend Sunday School,
newspapers published invitations,
posters were put up over cities and
towns, calls were made; in short,
about everybody in Kentucky must
have heard about Go-to-Sunday-
School Day and received an invita-
ton or two to attend Sunday School.
From the beginning the movement
was q success, and it has become an
annual custom of Kentucky Sunday
Schools to have Go-to-Sunday-
School Day. This year the call is is
sued to every man, woman and child
in Kentucky to attend Sunday School
and to enlist for service in the Army
of Christ.
Some of the good results in past
years are an increase in attendance
of more than one hundred per cent,
an increase in enrolment of thous-
ands, the bringing together in coop
erative effort workers of many schools
the finding of hundreds who have be-
come church members, the enlisting
of some of the most capable and earn
est teachers.
The 1918 campaign is expected to
bring these results:
One Million People at Sunday
School May 5th.
Sixty Thousand New Members En-
rolled.
One Thousand Schools Contributing
to the Kentucky Sunday School AS
ISOLATION.
Four Thousand Churches of Ken
lucky Gaining Some New Members.
A Deepening of Love and Loyalty tt
our Country.
A Strengthening of the Feeling o
Christian Brotherhood.
An Invitation Given to Everybod!
in Kentucky to Attend Sunday Schoo
and Church.

A communication from the Missis-
sIppi Valley Waterway Association

PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING
To Fuel Administrations Request
That Coal BE Ordered Early
Should Not Become Impatient
II Orders Are Not Filled
Promptly.

The Fuel Administration is great
" encouraged by reports from many
parts of the country as to the prog
ress of its campaign for the early Or
dering of next winters supply of coal
by both domestic and industrial coal
consumers, particularly in the East
ern part of the country. A moor OF
orders for next winters coal supply
is reported. Both coal producers and
retailers report orders filed vastly in
excess of the amount available for i'm
mediate delivery.
With millions of tons ordered OF
course, 1t has been impossible to Ell
feet complete deliveries. This has
given rise to some complaint among
those who are periodically respond
ing to the request of the Fuel Admin
istration and have sought to lay IN
their winters supply. 1t will be read
lily appreciated, however, that the
mines cannot produce and the ran
roads cannot deliver the whole an
nual coal supply of the country with
in two weeks. The Fuel Administra
tion. however, will exert every ETC"
to expedite deliveries and to eile,
the distribution of maximum
amount of coal during the summer
months.
With the country's coal supply lar
gely ordered ahead, the Admlnis'ra
ton will be in position to act prompt
" and facilitate the movement OF al
adequate supply of coal to meet thu
demand. The railroads will be en-
abled to Judge of the traffic facilities
which must be made available for aid
ing coal production and for distribu
ing the supply.
The fact the consumers cannot Sc
cure immediate delivery should no
deter them from placing their order!
at once. These early orders once OF
the books become the basis for the de-
termined drive to secure an adequate
production and prompt distribution
Promptness in ordering and patience
in waiting deliveries are needed as
basis TO rthe cooperation of the whole
country with the Fuel Administration
in its effort to do Its share of the Ma
tons war work.

The old-time Fourth of July even-

flares, Roman candles and rockets,
has bequeathed all its pyrotechnics to
the service of the American soldiers
in France. Fireworks-most of them
made by girl workers in New Jersey

and Yankee ingenuity hhas devised
many new ways of employing them.
For instance, our aviators on night

hide from the aviator's bombs.
There are pistol rockets, ground
flares, smoke signals, fireworks of all
sorts, in nightly use. How they are
employed is told in a most interest
