e. P. Clarke. . ..
Teacher Training, A. L. Boatright.
Assistant, r. H. Biddle.
These officers were unanimously
elected.
The committee on Teacher Train
ing submitted the following recon-
mendations, which was adopted:
1--WE recommend that inasmuch
as Teacher Training is to be launched
in the autumn as nationwide move
ment, we consider 1t advisable that
Bourbon County Immediately take
steps to institute teacher training In
every Bible School. That If q Super
intendent of this department be
elected, he should endeavor to get
In touch at once with every school
in order that such organization
should be reported at the State Con-
vention."
AS at the morning session three adj
dresses were delivered, the first by
Rev. Claude Darsie, Of Mt. Sterling,
on the subject, "The Service Of the
Church to the Community" Rev.
Linville, of st. Louis, former Rud-
dies Mills boy, on "The Services Of
the Church to the Nation" and
Rev. F. M. finder, of North Middle
town, on "The Services Of the Church
to the World"
These speeches were inspirational
and patriotic, and the speakers thrill
ed the audience with their eloqunce
and earnestness. ..
The convention closed with a con-
ference conducted by Rev. Kings
bury, the subject being, What Has
This Convention Meant to Me, and
What Will 1t Mean to My Church
and School?"
Before closing Mr.. Kingsbury took
occasion to speak in the highest terms
of the fidelity and service of Mr.. N.
L. Shropshire, the former president
of the County Association, and also
Of Prof. Roberts, who assumed the
presidency during this year under
unusual circumstances.
A feature Of the afternoon was a
beautiful solo by Miss Fillmore.
On motion, the Secretary was in
structed to send q night letter to
our U. S. s. Senator asking for his
vote and his influence on the ques-
ton of Nationwide Prohibition for
the period Of the war, which Is to, be
voted on in the Senate, Aug. 26.

Convention, was closed with the dox-
ology, and the benediction by Rev.
Cummins.

PERSHING WANTS SOLDIERS TC
BE GOOD, CLEAN MEN"

In a general order just issued
General Pershing addresses the army
frankly on the social evil and urges
confluence as "the plain duty of
every member Of the American Ex-
peditionary Force, both for the Wig
orous conduct of the war and the
clean health of the American people
after the war;"
General Pershing directs the COM
manding officers to urge moral clan
illness on the men as their duty as
soldiers and the best training for en-
forced cleanliness of life at the front
The order prescribes more rigid con-
troll of leaves of absence and directs
court-martial to exercise severity in
dealing with infected men. 1t makes
all immoral resorts loft limits" and
in cooperating with the French
police, both military and civil, takes
steps to repress clandestine evasion
of the order.

Who'll Wear The Pants?

When supremacy in the home
passed from the male head of the
institution to the wife, people used
TO remark that it was 1.-The missus
who wears the pants" and if this
standard of measurement is to be ap-
piled nowadays it is going to be rath-
er difficult to determine whether it
is the men, or the women, who'll
wear the pants" and manage the af-
fairs of the world. The village
school ma ans and bellies are now
doing a large part of the work in
washington, and they have replaced
men in the Government departments
in thousands of cases. The munitions
plants are filled with women, and in
the industries they are doing every
bit as good service as men.
Reports from England upon this
phase of industry are interesting,
since the Mother Country undoubt-
eddy moves even slower than we are
going. Nevertheless, 100000 wo-
men have directly replaced men since
the beginning of the war. The fig-
ures from France and Italy are even
more surprising in character. In
Germany and Austria the burdens OF

Pity the German Pigs.

We know we would not care to be
a human being on the continent of
Europe, living in constant fear of
being caught in a brawl started by
some pig-headed kingling with a
self-infiicted predestination for
world domination. Now, in addition,
we are quite sure we wouldn't even
care to be a cow or a mule if we had
to live there. The Food Administra-
ton tells us that many countries of
Europe are hard put to find forage
for their stock. To replace the usual
fodder material there are numer-
Gus substitutes, some of which are
most ingenious" Likewise, taste
less and unpalatable we suspect. Pine
and fir needles have been used in
Sweden, potato tops in Norway, hazel
catkins have been dried and used as
a sort of fodder flour in Germany,
and in Austria-Hungary singing
nettles were being resorted to last
January. Perhaps the strangest fod-
der substitute of all, however, is
cocks-chafers, a kind of beetle, which
are being collected throughout Ger
many and Austria by school children
as food for pigs and poultry. How
those pigs must hate the Kaiser!

The End of the War.

Far-seeing men believe that we
have just begun to fight, and wise
men realize that the only safe policy
is for us to assume that the strug-
gle will be long and bitter.
1t is vain to ask how long the war
will last, for such questioning tempts
us to guess, and when we go to guess
ing our self-interest causes us to
guess the best and so to take some
chance in effort or sacrifice. ALI that
we know is that we must win. If
this is even approximately true,
then superhuman efforts must be put
forth to produce more food for man
and feed for livestock. Conservation
is all right, but production must
precede conservation. We can't save
until we first produce.

The Pleasures of Home.

Love is the great home-maker
that makes even the drudgery of
Housekeeping pleasure, and home
sife a foretaste of the bliss of heaven.
s2ne cannot get too much love into
Soness home-making, but easily too
Eittie.
Man has done wonders since he
came before the public. He has
nayigated the ocean, he has pene-
s1rated the mysteries of the starry
heavens, he has harnessed the light
ming and made it pull street cars
and light the great cities Of the
world. But he can't find a spool of
red thread in his wife's work basket;
he can't discover her pocket in a
dress banging in a closet; he can't
hang cut clothes and get them on
the line right side up. He cannot
hold clothespins in his mouth while
he is doing it either. He cannot be
polite to somebody he hates. He can
. not sit in a rocking chair without
banging the rockers into the base
boards. He cannot put the tidy on
the sofa pillow right side out. He
cannot sew on a button. In short,
re cannot do a hundred things that
women do almost instinctively.
1.-The real pleasures of life are not
to be bought. Amusement is for
.xaleTsbut joy comes without price
and without bargaining. There are
NO figures set upon happiness; it
springs up in the pathway like a
hover the seed of which has been
waited from some other world. The
quiet, deep joys Of life, benson like,
fell from heaven upon our, hearts,
malone can command them, none can
corner them. You may purchase
assistance and interest, but affection
and lovesceme unsought, unsolicited
gunbonght. What wealth have you
greater. more worthy to you than the
Stender Kindness, the sympathy, the
spirit of seIf-giving that goes out to
you from other lives? These assets
: are not on our own Office ledgers
2 hut ON the great ledgers of life from
which our final balances are struck
they are writ large"

Three or four girls, daughters Of
soldiers at the front, are employed
at the ouvrior stuffing rag dolls with

CURE FOR DYSENTERY.

while I was in Ashland, Kansas,
gentleman overheard me speaking
of Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw,
of Des Moines, Iowa. "He told me
in detail of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his
daughter who was lying at the point
of death with a violent attack of
dysentery, and had been given up by
the family physician. Some of his
neighbors advised him to give Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, which he did, and fully believes
that by doing so saved the life of his
child. He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equal
ly gratifying results"

Uncle Sam Will Rule the Wave

Five years ago American ships
were as invisible as whales, and voy-
ayers to Europe and South America
frequently returned without seeing
either. But American ships are hop
ping into the ocean with more speed
than American automobiles achiev-
ed ten or a dozen years ago. Just
think of it! There were 123 new
vessels launched in July, with $751;
ga dead weight tonnage. No pre-
vious twelve-month period in Ameri-
can shipyards equals this period. A
few months ago the pessimists were
predicting the failure of our ship
building program. That was when
the yards were building, and the ma
terial and workmen were getting
things in shape to start things. Now,
even Americans, who are used to mar
velous achievements, are surprised at
the records in ship building, and it
is confidently predicted that one of
the results of the war will be that
Uncle Sam will rule the wave"
Great Britain will be distanced be-
fore long, at the rate we are going.

We Would Rather Be Americans.


How would you like to be a
wheat farmer in Australia or corn
grower in Argentine? The Food Ad-
ministration reports that nearly 800
million bushels of wheat are stored in
Australia. There are no ships to
move it and therefore no market for
it. The government has guaranteed
a price of SO cents per bushel for it,
and the commonwealth has added IL
cents, making total of 95 cents to
the producer. In Argentine there is
no market for corn, and many farm
ers are disposing of it for fuel at 40
cents per bushel. At that, however,
it would be better to be farmer in
Argentine or Australia than to be
one in Russia where the Germans
would take your wheat and not even
say thank you.
No thanks, we are glad to be
Americans, and we are not going to
get over being glad either.
