PATRIOTIC DAY .
A Great Success. Town Filled with Peo-
pie and Much Interest Shown.

| Not since the Central Record had
| its drawing at the close of the contest
in 1913, has a larger crowd been seer
in Lancaster, than the one that turn.
ed out last Thursday for the great
War Conference Meeting, held I'M
der the auspices of the Council of
Defense for Garrard county.
Early in the morning the people
began to arrive from every section of
the county, it seemed, and by noon
the public square was practically
blocked with automobiles, and the
side walks were teaming with human
ity, from the cradle to the grand par
ents.
A brass band from Lexington fur
nished the music and the program be-
gan with the raising of the flag, while
the band played the Star Spangled
Banner. The crowd was then invited
to the college grounds, by chairman,
Joe 5. Haselden and number of
speakers Entertained them until noon,
interspersed with patriotic songs
under the able leadership of Mrs. May
Hughes holland.
In the afternoon Capt. R. Muir
Allen, British officer who served
in France from October 1914 until
February 1918, and whose wounds
gave him an honorable discharge, was
introduced by the chairman.
He spoke in the yard of the school
building, for it was seen early in the
day that the large auditorium would
not seat one half of the people who
were scrambling for admittance.
Capt. Aliens remarks were highly
enjoyed and the personal experiences
that he related so eloquently, were
heard TO express the opinion that
his was the best address of this char
acter ever heard in Lancaster.
He was followed by Governor Stan
ley, who spoke for an hour and
half and held the attention. hot as it
was, of the crowd, who at times APP
plauded his words to the echo.
Governor never in his life made a
better speech, nor had more respon-
sive audience.
The evening program brought out
a bumper audience which filled the
auditorium. The chief address on
this occasion being made by Hon.
Edwin p. Morrow, of Somerset. Mr..
Morrow never minced any words
when he spoke of the Germans and
their henchmen and he was frequent
ly interrupted by the hearty applause
of the crowd.
Capt. Allen made another short
address after Mr.. Morrow had closed,
for the benefit of those who were I'M
able to hear him in the afternoon.
Garrard county and her people
never do things by halves and to show
the spirit that possessed them, every
store in the county and in Lancaster
together with the banks. were closed |
tight, until the close of the program
in the afternoon.

new DRAFT MEASURE.
Explained In Letter To Local Board.

The first definite idea of the mag
nitude of the proposed draft age
amendment is conveyed in lengthy
instructions which the local draft
board have recently received from
the selective service headquarters in
Kentucky, informing the draft Off
cials of the necessity of Immediately
beginning preparations for the vast
registration which will follow the pas
sage of the congressional bill which
adds seventeen years to the limit of
draft ability.
The communications are from Mai.
Henry Rhodes, Frankfort. The draft
authorities are told that a registra-
tion booth must be placed in every
voting precinct in the county, which
means that there will be nine regis
tration places in Garrard county.
1t is also indicated that the registra-
tion date will probably be on Septem-
Der 5th, and that the draft board will
prepare to register at least one third
more draft possibilities, than on the
occasion of the first draft, June 5th,
1917
The draft boards are instructed to
furnish complete list of the regis
traitors who will serve at each of the
nine precincts and to fih the list by
Monday, August 10Th.
