ADVISES SUPERINTENDENT,
TEACHERS and TRUSTEES
TO HELP IN WAR SAVING CAMPAIGN.
Frankfort. Ky. June "a. 1871

Frankfort, Ky, June %, 1918.
Dear Editor:
We are organizing the school peo-
pie to take an active part in this
weeks War Savings Stamp Drive. I
think you will be helping US consd-
erably to accomplish this purpose if
you will give publicity to the cnclos-
ed letters which we have written. in
this connection to the school people,
-superintendents, teachers and
trustees. As stated in these letters,
we want every child Of school age in
Kentucky to own War Savings Ger
tificate by December 25th, 1918.
We are asking your help to arouse
interest in the campaign.
Sincerely yours,
V. o. Gilbert.

"To the Teachers of Kentucky
II one citizen of Kentucky is un-
der more obligations than another
to lead in every movement looking
toward the teaching Of love Of coun-
try and reverence for our Institu-
tions, il is the teacher.
We are facing the most radical
and dangerous period, not only Of
our national history but of the
worlds history This world conflict
must not only be won for freedom
and Democracy, but the generations
coming nomust be taught and train
ed to preserve and use this greater
and more far-reaching liberty that
| is to come to the earth after Auto
crazy is eternally crushed
! purpose that the whole system
Of public education Of the State Of
Kentucky shall be directed along the
lines Of n systematic and voluntary
teaching of Democracy, and am
asking that every teacher in the
State, from the President of the
University to the teacher Of the sub
district school, volunteer that every
effort be put forth during the school
year of 1888 to lay broad and
deep and thoroughly the foundations
for the training of our young people
in true, righteous citizenship.
The Government is offering us
splendid opportunities to teach pa
triotism by doing. but the most APP
pealing of these opportunities, from
an educational standpoint, is the
opportunity to invest in War Savings
Certificates. This not only enables
us to perform a patriotic service for
our boys at the Front who are pour
ing out their blood on the fields of
France, but enables us to teach
Thrift to the rising generation. Our
children mustlea I'm thoroughly the
lessons Of Industry and Thrift if
they would maintain the freedom
won to the world after such ire
mendous cost and sacrifice as is now
being made on the Western Front. |
know that every teacher will gladly
volunteer to carry out this purpose;
that every child of school age shall
before December 25th, 1918, own
one or more War Savings Certifcat-
es.

GUS HILLS MINSTRELS
IN BALTIMORE

With a score or more good singers
laugh producers and vaudeville artists
"Gus Hills Minstrels" Bowed before
a capacity audience at the Auditorium
Theatre last night. 1t was perhaps
the best minstrel entertainment seen
in this city since the days of Docksta-
der, and devotees of the black-face
half-circle showed their approval of
the show by hearty applause.
The show is divided into three parts
with the usual olio that will measure
up to any vaudeville bill. George
Wilson and Eddie Mazier, who are the
chief funmakers, KEEP their auditors
in an hilarious humor by their rapid
fire dialogue, punch and comic songs.
They are the nucleus of the entertain
ment. The songs in the first part are
particularly catchy. ANY Old Port
in Storm" sung by Johne p. Rodg-
ers, and "Mason and Dixon Line, /"
sung by George Wilson, are the real
musical hits of the show. There is not
lack of patriotism either, for at the
finale a patriotic feature is introduc-

FELLOWSHIP

Fellowship, Jan. 9.-We are still
having cold weather. Well, the cold
Is serving two good purposes. First,
it saves the farmer from carrying
his meat to cold storage, as the cold
for the past month has been suffi-
cient to cure meat in. The writer
killed some fine hogs four weeks ago
and has cured the meat just as good
as the cold storage people could have
done. Again the cold has killed mill
ions of insects and you can bet your
boots that this will be a good crop
year if the farmers will only do THEN
part. Every indication looks like we
are going to have one of the largest
crops this year this section of the
county has ever produced.

WEIRSDALE

Weirsdale, Jan. 9.-Mr. and Mrs. G..
V. Carpenter have returned from
their northern home last week. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Carpen-
ter's sister, Miss Turner.
The ladies of the w. c. T. u. met
with Mrs. A. M. Reed last Saturday
afternoon to make bandages for hos
pital use in France. A very sociable
hour was spent. From the letters
which these good ladies have receiv-
ed from "our boys" at the different
camps we learn that, although they
regret being away from their homes
and loved ones, they all spent hap,
py Christmas there. They write US
that old Santa found his way to them
and they all appreciated his visit very
much. To read their descriptions of
the elaborate Christmas and New
Years dinners which were served
makes US all wish that we could have
been with them.
Our friends at Gambler will smile
when they hear that in a recent let
ter from navy, Elmer w. Driver,
he has promised US a fragment of the
first submarine he sinks. They will
say "that sounds just like Elmer" !"
but here's hoping he gets the sub.
They will also be interested to know
that Dewey Albertson is in training
for the officers reserve at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ca, and has already been
given the title of sergeant.
The Lake Weir branch of the Red
Cross meets today at the Eastlake
club house. There are 80 members
now enrolled and still gaining. Every
body who can is especially urged to
join and do his bit toward helping to
win the war. Mr.. Charles Rheinauer
is the chairman and the very life of
the work here. And our knitters are
counting it a privilege to be able to
make sweaters so much needed by the
boys during the cold weather.
The many friends of Rev. and Mrs.
Jones will be interested to know that
their grandson, Lawrence Freeman,
who spent couple of winters here
several years ago, sailed for France
Jan. 5th.
Everybody is cordially invited to
come to the teacher training class and
choir practice Friday evening at 2
o'clock. We have an excellent teach
er, Mr.. Merchon, and it is well worth
anyone's time to take up this estim-
able work.
We would be mighty" glad if old
Jack Frost would take a final resting
place up by the North Pole for at
least eight or nine months, and let Us
have a little warm weather once
more. But of course we may as well
take comfort in the thought that by
the middle of next June we'll be Sigh
ing for a little of the cool breeze we
are so bountifully supplied with now
