VICTORY EXPOSITION

Certain sections of Cincinnati
have resembled nothing so much
during the past few days as Sec
ton of the retreat of the German
Army. This representation was
brought about by the movement
through the streets of hundreds of
captured cannon and other imple-
ments of war, taken from the Ger
mans and now being displayed in
Music Hall. The enormous Victory
War Exposition which opened on
Saturday, Dec. 14th, will continue
for nine days.
As these instruments of war
were moved along the streets they
were greeted by enormous crowds,
who gave to them probably the same
reception as was accorded similar
equipment when moved through the
re-conquered portions of France

WELL DESERVED
The Praise That Comes From Thank
full Mt. Sterling People.

One kidney remedy has known
merit.
Mt. Sterling people rely upon it
That remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Mt. Sterling testimony proves it
reliable.
Elizabeth Hon, ~ Harrison Ave,
Mt. Sterling, says: 81 had kidney
trouble quite badly and suffered a
lot with dull pains across my back
and loins. had dizzy spells and
headaches and the action of my kid
neys was irregular. Three boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills, which 1 got
at Duerson's Drug Store, rid me of
the trouble. The backaches left and
my kidneys were in good order"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Elizabeth Hon had. Foster

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Continuance of Government con-
troll of railroads for five years, or
until January l, 1924, was recon-
mended by Director General McAdoo
in a letter to the chairman Of the
Senate and House Interstate Com
merce Committees. This would per-
NIT fair trial of Government oper-
alton, said Mr.. McAdoo, and elimi-
nate the unsettled condition under
which the railroads must be operat-
ed during the next year or two if
their status is not changed mater
tally by legislation.

and Belgium. In this almost con-
tinuous procession of field artillery
and smaller ordnance were num-
ber of different sizes of German
Howitzers, Trench Mortars, Winnie
werfers, SS- -Millimeter Field Pieces,
and smaller artillery units. The
chief attraction, however, of this
parade were the famous "Big Ber-
tina" Cannon, the largest example of
German artillery brought to the
United States, and a gun from the
famous German Raider, "Emdon," "
which played so romantic a part in
the limited sea service of the Huns.
All Of this equipment is now on
exhibition in Music Hall and repre-
sents, with the addition of enumer-
able Trophies and Relics which play
ed a prominent part in the activities
of the United States and Allied
Fighting Forces, what undoubtedly
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1918-12-17

is the most extraordinary and in
spring exhibition of any kind ever
offered in any country.
1t is officially announced that
when this exhibition has completed
its present tour, it will not again be
seen in this or any other country.
The various Trophies will be return
ed to their respective nations and
from part of the Government Ex-
hibits which will be housed in build
ings now being prepared for them,
1t is certain that perhaps only one
other city in the Ohio Valley will
see this wonderful collection of wal
materials after the engagement in
Cincinnati closes.
Aside from the $4,000 or more
exhibits in the show, there will be
practically continuous perfor-
nance of entertainment in the main
auditorium of Music Hall. This will
include concerts, by the famous
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
Band, organized by John Phillip

natives of various countries engag-

FIRE AT FRANKFORT

Fire of unknown origin destroyed
the large bOx-making factory owned
by SehatOr-elect Asa Bennett, at
Frankford, early Wednesday morning.
While it is not known definitely what
caused the blaze, it is possible that
cigarette smokers carelessly dropped
a match which set fire to the structure
The plant contained about $4,000
worth of modern box-making machin-
cry, together with other things of
value. A large quantity of empty
cans were stored in a part of the
building and they were destroyed by
the flames. In all, the loss to the plant
amounts to approximately $4,000.
Much Of this is covered by insurance.
The large canning factory adjoining
this plant, which is owned by Mr.. Ben
nett, was not touched by the flames,
but the warehouse of the cannery, in
which thousands Of dollars worth Of
canned goods were stored, caught fire
several times. BY hard work, how
ever, this building was saved.

OBITUARY
ABBOTT

Mr.. Reginald Abbott departed this
life Friday at $50 o'clock, October %,
1918, aged is years and months. Flu
neral services were held at Hollywood
cemetery at 3 o'clock p. M, Harring-
ton, Del.
The great monster, Death, in his
grave image has torn from our bosom
and home my dear beloved son. The
sudden and appalling death knell came
almost without warning, leaving be-
hind bleeding hearts rent with grief.
His cheerful disposition, Wreathed
with golden sunshine, has been sup
planted by the sable curtains of heart
rending gloom. No more shall we meet
him in this land Of trials and tribula-
tions, yet we find a consolation in
the thought of knowing that he was
child of God. He was a good boy and
as a reward has taken the wings of
an angel and scared to realms above
where pain, care, sorrow and earthly
trials are forever unknown; where an
guish can never overtake him; where
peace and virtue will never forsake,
where the spirit will bloom and bear
fruit in the vlnyard on high. His daily
walks of life have been a beacon-light
when illumniates the path to the ce-
lestial city of paradise or the home
OF the King of Kings and the house of
the Lord of Lords; where the golden
harps are ringing in the house of
many mansions where the angels are
singing the Welcome Harvest Home on
the throne OF God; where the spirit of
the righteous is rewarded with a
golden crown and where. peace and
Joy will remain supreme for ever
more. A place is vacant in our home
which never can be filled. We wish
to express our heartfelt thanks to the
many friends for the kindness shown
US during our sad hours of bereave-
ment.

with +. NJ. Davis, president OF the
Non-Partisan League, who opened
headquarters in the meeting rooms of

Working with a speed inspired by
patriotism, signs were painted, auto
mobiles an dtrucks decorated with Old
Glory entwined with the colOrs of the
Allies, and bands assembled from ev-

The members Of the League were SO
successful in their aims, that even

KIND WORDS FOR A FRIEND

When people who are happy in this
world and help to make others happy,
depart from this life, there is sure to
be many friends who sincerely sorrow
at their passing, and especially is this
true when sudden death occurs to such
a person who reasonably would have
expectation of many more years of
life. The death of Mrs. Jane Jester,
of Milford Neck, last week, has shown
the statement to have been a fact in
her particular case; and a young man
who grew up in Milford Neck, but
who now resides in New Jersey, Mr..
Austin has written to his father
Lavinus Austin, a letter in which he
expresses the sentiment as follows:
I'VE heard about Mrs. TESTERS sud
den death; it is shame that she of
many less worthy had to come to what
appears to be an untimely end. l can
say with truthfulness l did regret
hearing it as she was not only loved
by her own family, but her friends and
acquaintances always had a sincere
feeling of love and friendship for her
accruing from her most pleasing per-
sonality and optimistical disposition"
1t was always a pleasure for Mrs.
Jester to meet and entertain people,
especially the young folk who were
friends of her children, and scores
endorse the sentiment expressed by
Mr.. Austin.
