ELEVATOR CRUSHES LIFE OUT OF
CYNTHIANA BOY.

CYNTHIANA, KY, Aug. l.
The twelve-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Fitzwater, East Pleasant
Street, was killed Saturday afternoon,
while playing on an elevator in the
warehouse of Clarence LeBus, on the
railroad between Pike and Pleasant
Streets.
Workmen saw the boy running the
elevator up to the third floor, and
warned him to be careful. Later
they missed him and found the ele-
vator stopped some distance up the
shaft. On investigating they found
that the boy had leaned from the
car so that an iron beam had struck
his neck and stopped the elevator,
holding him there. The boys neck
was broken. Ed. Fitzwater, father
of the boy is an employee of Mr.. Lee
Bus. He was working Saturday on
his farm near Leesburg.

We Are BUSY Lot Now.

We are a very busy lot of people
an Paris just now. Men, women and
Children are all engaged in seeing
Nlat they can do for the soldiers at
the front. The gallant way in which
our American boys, and their allies,
{: are lighting, makes our hearts swell
with pride, and more are going over
every day to see that the victory is
made possible and to bring 1t
closer. cat iv j-iqS.:. uXi
How glorious it will be in the his
tory of the world to have it said that
the gallant Americans, and among
them thousands of Kentuckians. and
hundreds of Bourbon county boys,
have helped to save Belgium, France,
England, ourselves and a great deal
of the rest of the world from being
murderedl
{ Aust as we are able to get cheering
news from the front and the cards
saying that our boys going over there
have escaped the U-boats and had ar
rived safely in some French port, no
one thinks of or cares very much for
social affairs, though, if thought
full woman gives a tea, luncheon,
: party or dinner, and wishes to show
what delicious things she has learn
ed to make at the war kitchen or
from trying out recipes found in
papers and bulletins, we rise to the
occasion, $ don our bravest apparel,
: and smile and enjoy them with even
6 old-tIme 'zest and fervor.
Dhe women are wondering to them
selves what they are going to put on
the registration cards which they
are soon to be asked to sign by the
Mgman's Committee of the Council
cot National Defense and I'LL in the
sort Of work in which. they are most
proficient. So many women do things
well without considering themselves
expert in any that it will be little
~difhoult 10 decide which to put on
record. Quite" list of capabilities

ever, so that the records are sure to
be the most interesting and valua-
BILE in making statistics of the coun-
1try's power, and all should feel more
than proud to be on such a roll.
Some one has suggested that we
make more of demonstration when
we hear of an advance or a success
ful drive at the front, that we should
ring the church bells, wave flags,
play song Of victory, or to tell it by
acclaim. And in so doing we will be
honoring the Bourbon county boys
who viii be sure to be somewhere on
the front, somewhere in the thick of
fighting, somewhere, but at all times
attesting their courage and proves
on the battlefield, as their ancestors
,sfid-before them.

The Supreme Sacrifice.

Yesterday I said "Our flag"
And proudly set it high
Over the top of my doorway
AS the khaki lines went by;
But to-day, to-day it is my nag"
Last night there was news to tell.
And bone of my bone and flesh of my
flesh
Went down in that Hun-made hell.

As the long lines marched away;
Flag and land and dear lads
They are all mine to-day,
For somewhere out on a Picardy
plain,
With only his God to see,
Drop by drop as his life went out,
They were bought by my boy for me.

The GIFT Of God,

Sleep Is the gift Of God. We think
we lay our heads upon our pillows and
compose our bodies in a peaceful pos
ture, and that therefore we naturally
and necessarily fall asleep. But it Is
not so. Sleep is the gift Of God. and
not a man would close his eyes did not
God put his fingers on his eyelids; did
not the Almighty send a soft and
balmy influence over his frame which
lulled his thoughts into quiescence,
making him enter into that blissful
state of rest which we call Sleep

Forefathers Had No Iuxurjes

People who complain because they
cannot get some Of the little luxuries
they used to enjoy before the war
might do well to remember that their
forefathers lived without sugar till the
fourteenth century, without coal till
the fourteenth, without butter on their
bread till the fifteenth, without to-
bacco and potatoes till the sixteenth,
without tea, coffee and soap till the
seventeenth. without umbrellas and
lamps till the eighteenth. and without
trains, kilograms, telephones, gas and
machines till the nineteenth.

Don't Neglect
Your Eyes.

ooh, mother, I see lights in the
sky" And this child, after visiting
an optometrist, saw the stars for the
first time. His mother, though a
strong woman, broke down and wept
to think she had neglected the child
so long. Father, mother, are you
going to allow your child to be thus
neglected, when an examination of
their eyes will reveal his or her true
condition? Over so per cent. of
children have defective vision in
some way. Better bring your child
to us for a thorough, scientific ex-
animation. Will not advise glasses
unless absolutely necessary.

Quotas as Yet Unhlled-Much
Knitting Required.

Pressing need of further work bv mem
bers oi the local Red Cross branch is
emphasized IN a statement issued TODAY
by those IN charge of the worl, rooms in

500 garments must be completed by Jan.
| and 500 sweaters and 400 pairs of
socks by Feb. |. The appeal is as fol.
lows:
Possibly the Red Cross workers OF
Rrattleboro do not realize the immense
amount of work which must still be done.
.tsen with the coming of peace let no one
suppose that the work OF the Red Cross
is finished. Millions OF American bows
are stun under arms. Thousands OF them
are sick or wounded, and owing to short
age III shipping it may take year or
more 70 bring them all home from France.
The cessation of war will reveal a picture
OF misery such as the world has never
seen before. aud we ask each member of
our splendid body of workers TO bear in
mind the solemn obligation which rests
upon each one to carry on
'Or account Of the coming winter a
rapid production of refugee garments will
mean Infinitely greater saving OF life
than any ether form of work We NAV do

that their assistance is Just as urgently
