this store the kind of place you

The reason you patronize
one store instead of another is
because you feel it can do more
for you; gives better values and
service. You don't go any

LONDON, Jan. 17.-"It may be vain belief on my part, but I hold it very strongly. that the United States and ourselves, two great cousin na- tions, are even by themselves in a position to bring about the complete fulfillment of the pledges that we have given"
 This was one of the assertions made by Sir Edward Carson, minister with out portfolio in the British war cab inet, at a meeting here for the purpose of launching a society to promote closer relations with Rumania. Al though speaking under the shadow of the news of an armistice on the Ru- manian front. Sir Edward declared that the entente allies would continue in their determination to carry out their duty towards Rumania.
 q know of no end to this war that is possible without maintaining the rights of Rumanfa and Serbia just as much as the rights of Great Britain and her empire" said Sir Edward. q repeat the determination of his maies- tvs government that we will go on to the end with unity until We have at- tained the objects with which we en.. tered into the war. With our help Serbia, Rumania and Greece. the most natural alliance in the whole world. ought to build up a fabric which win make not only for the liberty and life of their own people but Will greatly help in the solution of the problems that will arise in the Near East"

Despite the earnings of critics and
the doubts of cynics, the Bible, the
Holy book of God, remains up-
changeable and enduring. With a
whole world at war, the pestilence

with the conditions of wars and
rumors of wars, earthquakes, pesti-
lence and famines in divers places
Through all the war-clouds of the
ages, stormed at by the shot and

IN MEMORIAM.

On the sad evening of September
JS, the death angel lowered around
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. c..
Rains and claimed for it's own their
darling little baby, Junith Cleve-
land, age months and 23 days.
Why do we weep and mourn, know
ing our loss is Heavens gain? And,
too, we know that his body lies
peacefully far away in field, in the
silent grave, our little jewel will
turn to clay; but the soul our God
will save. The little mound points
to the God above as it nurtures the
twig and vine, and says l hold in
this cell parents love, round whom
their arms would entwine. But our
time is short in this old world; by
the law of all laws that is true, even
the sea shall give up her dead and
we may expect the same too. For in
the streets of Heaven this body will
be transplanted by Gods own care,
wearing a golden crown, as He says,
Thou needst not have fear"

BONDS WILL DIVIDE
CITIZENS into TWO
Glasses AFTER WAR
There viii Be Those Who Draw Inter.
est ard Others Who Merely
Pay Taxes.

After the war there will be two class
es of citizens-those who will pay tax
es and draw interest and those who
will pay taxes.
In which class will you come?
Every man and woman in America
must recognize this fact-the. war
must go on, AMI it must be paid for.
Liberty Bonds offer an opportunity
for service to those who cannot fight
al the front. They provide the means
for that other form of service, war
financing.
The purchase of bonds is national
necessity. 1t is one of those rare ne
cessities which is a blessing undis-
guised in that it carries its own
reward.
The personal benefits derived from
the possession of Liberty Bonds will
cover period of years. Their strength
lies in the fact that their value is Gu
mulative.
Loyal Americans need no induce
ment to lend the necessary financial
support to the government which
stands for all that civilization means
TO the world. But their willingness to
give that support carries with it the
added satisfaction of return in future
time. Their bread. cast upon troubled
waters. will return many fold.
With the opening of the Fourth Lib.
erty Loan Americas stay-at-homes
have a new opportunity to decide the
question. In which class will you

1t is remarkable the way the al
lies advance continues to hold out,
never losing and ever gaining.
Since the middle of July the Allied
armies have been on the offensive
and in that time they have retaken,
with far less loss of life, all the
territory the Germans captured in
their big drive last spring. And
when we think that it was the Amer
leans who turned the retreat into a
glorious advance, we can but feel a
deep pride and thankfulness for the
fact of our American citizenship.

William Loven Whittier, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. B. Whittier, was
born in Fordsville, KY, March 25th,
1884. Died in Eldorado, Illinois
Jnue .29th, 1888. Loven spent his
boyhood days in and near Fordsville,
Ky. Was converted and joined the
fellowship Of Mt. Pleasant church IN
early life, he was of congenial ma
ture and had a wide circle of friends
in his home town and community,
and when he moved to Eldorado.
Illinois he carried this same spirit
OF friend-making with him, as was
manifest by the large number of his
brethren and fellows, who accom-
panied the body from that distant
town to its last resting place in
Fordsville cemetery. All who knew
him found kind generous, helpful
friend in Loven. His sad and tragic
death was caused by breathing
poisonous gas in a mine in which
he worked in Eldorado, Illinois. He
leaves wife, five children, a father
and mother and three brothers to
mourn his loss. Earth is made
poorer and heaven richer by his
home going.
Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth. yea saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labors and their works do fol-
low them. Rev. 14:13."

There is only one thing we fear
more than a long-continued war and
that is a premature peace. Peace
lust now would leave Germany
strong fighting army, well-trained
veterans, with all equipments; an
organized nation, vast resources
untouched, conquered territory, all
her colonies perhaps given back and
Russia at her feet. Only few more
years and she would return, more
vicious and lustful than ever and in
flnitely the wiser and more cunning.
Wound a serpent and let it crawl
away. and It will recover to bite YOU;
kill it dead and it is harmless.
Leave Germany as she is now and we
will see a REPETITION of this war soon
err or later. Crush her, and we can
have peace. Let the boys finish the
job" over there

Bulgaria is out of the fight. What
ever may be the suggestions or
opinions to the contrary, the fact
stands that she is willing to quit.
She is whipped to fragile and
coliesses it. In the beginning She
was undecided about what course TO
take, not knowing who was to be
victor. But when the German
hordes poured down over Serbia,
king Ferdinand, afraid TO r the safe
ty of his crown, Joined hands with
the Central Powers, who seemed to
be the victors, thus making himself
the tool of the Huns in their Berlin
to-Bagdad plan. 1t had long been
the dream of the German govern
ment to found an empire stretching
across middle Europe from the north
sea to Asia Minor, and it was i'm
possible to do this without Bull
garia. BY promising them part Of
the spoils, the ignorant peasants and
trembling king of this Balkan state
were tricked into an alliance that
has proved their own destruction.
But Bulgaria is out of the fray.
Her terms are unconditional sur
render, and what the effect will be
on the war situation awaits to be
seen. But one thing is sure: the
Berlin-Bagdad dream is shattered,
the German line of communication
is broken, and Turkey, the last East
ern ally, is isolated and will be fore
ed to submit.

1t is piteous and yet inspiring
when we see the spirit manifested

"when Joe comes home" or when"
Ack gets back" But alsas, the pi-

may mark his resting place. Or il

Unless the State furnishes enough
laborers to complete the cantonment
at Stithton, the Government will
either move it elsewhere or draft
enough men from the non-essential
occupations. We are in favor of
the latter. There are hundreds of
men in Kentucky engaged in trivial
occupations that could as well be
left undone, who could put to useful
labor at Stithton. If the govern
ment calls a man from a useful oc-
cupatlon into military service, why
should it not call one from non
essential occupations into necessary
war-work?

According to agreement between
the party headquarters to refrain
from discussing politics while the
Liberty Loan campaign is on, we
have not mentioned the question,
nor scarcely since the primaries. 1t
has been our purpose to devote our
interest to the winning of the war
and let politics be adjourned, feel
ng that people could best judge who
they desired for their legislators
without partizan prejudice being
aroused; and still we find the Hart
ford Republican devoting nearly a
third of its space each week to poll
tics, and raising one continual hue
and cry about the candidates. In
this weeks issue we count ten
editorial squibs, seven of which are
political; besides political articles
are scattered throughout the pa
per. The Republican party realizes
its utter hopelessness and is fran
tic, thinking that by agitation it can
pervert the minds of independent
thinking citizens. But the honest
voter does not take these things seri-
ously, realizing that there is as lit
tie danger of seeing a Republican
from Kentucky in the Senate as
there is of seeing a German army in
