After a period of intensive train

The ready and accuate mental

CITIZENS BOW IN PRAYER
FOR SOLDIERS TODAY
Whistles and Bells VIII Announce to
People of Maysville That All Are
Asked to Pray for Our
Soldiers.

In response to the call of Mayor
Thomas NJ Russell in proclamation
issued yesterday, the people of Mays

the success of our arms on European
battlefields. Promptly at IL o'clock
the large bell in the tower at the fire
hall will sound and this will be sig
nal to the factories and churches all
over the city to sound reminding the
people of the city that the time for
united prayer has come.
For a period of five minutes all are
asked to pray for our soldier boys no
matter what they are doing and the
supplications of all of the citizens will
go up from all over the city.
Nothing could be more impressive
than an entire city at prayer at the
same time that we might be victor
ious in the present war and nothing
will have a better effect upon the
community than this united prayer.
At the sound of the bells and whistles
every person in the city will be daily
reminded that our nation is at war
and that we are dependent upon God
for our success.
On next Sunday the ministers of the
| local churches will be asked to speak
to their people about the strict OBJ
servation of this five minutes each
day and when the bells shall an
nounce the arrival of II o'clock on
Sunday morning prayers will go up
from each of the local churches lead
ing the prayers that Will be going up
from every home in the city
Mayor Russell's proclamation will
be read at all religious meetings Sun
day in all of the churches and it is
expected that within a few days the
period from IL a. m. to 11:05 a. m.
will be considered a very reverant
period

CAN YOU PICTURE SNUFF!

Under the above heading yester-
days Cincinnati Post. said:
When John L. Snuff, insurance man,
was boy, he sometimes bought tur-
keys from neighboring farms and
drove them to his home at Maysville,
Ky.
One day, after a heavy rain, Snuff,
to make a short cut, left the high
way and drove his flock over a mud
road. The feet of the turkeys stuck
in the mud and Maysville farmers
still laugh as they recall the sight
of Snuff pulling turkeys out of tho
mud and cleaning the mud off their
feet with wooden paddle.

WISE, But SOMETIMES
OTHERWISE

Some times our friend Ponto seems
almost human in his intelligence, as
when he made the discovery that "ThC
fifth of July was the last of August"
Contradicting it seems, yet one of the
many strange happenings, natural
and otherwise of these days and alb
solutely true.
Again, we recognize his lack of I'M
derstandng, realizing he is only a
dog, when he fails to interpret the
motives of the women of the city, who
conscientiously meet the troop trains.
Other duties may suffer but the
paramount duty is to give little
cheer to our boys in khaki and break
the tedium of long railroad journeys.
Somebody's son, husband or brother
is passing this way. The battles of
the world are fought in the hearts of
its women.
These noble boys fast becoming
men in their responsibilities to their
God and their country, have too
many hours for thought. They
are not unmindful of what may
be just ahead of them, so the women
bid them God speed on what may be
their last trip through old Kentucky
