have efficient organization-to be pres
pared for the needs Of tomorrow.
Rev. H. H. Frost, of Fargo. gave
an address on Evangelism" ENangel-
ism is the keynote to be kept in mind
through the Sunday school. he said.
Many are too hazy in their thought
what we are to do.
If there is anything in Gods divine
power. there is something in the spirit
ual development Of man. We must be-
lieve that God is in the great plan Of
life. There seems to be the thought
that We cannot mix religion and edu-
cation in the vitalizing elements. This
is false. 1t. is essential to combine
them. God reveals himself as we are
trained to take in the great truths of
Him into our life. !
The object Of our whole life Is that
the divine nay be stirred in it to
Godward. Object school system is to
bring man to- his best in mental and
spiritual realms.

AUTOMOBILE KILLS BOY

An automobile driven by Mr.. Will
Scott, of Sharpsburg, ran over and
killed Clay Williams aged IL years,
on the Maysville pike about seven
miles from this city, on Monday af-
ternoon. From the best information
we could get Mr.. Scott was driving
slowly and had passed the boy who
in spirit of fun ran from behind the
car and attempted to run across the
pike in front of the moving machine.
Mr.. Scott threw on the brakes lock-
ing the wheels but not in time to
keep from hitting the boy who died
within a few minutes. Deceased is a
son of Mr.. Henry Williams who has
the sympathy of many friends in his
sorrow. The accident was evidently
unavoidable.

MUST Save
THE GASOLINE
Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield
Appeals to Auto Owners
To Save Gasoline

The ban on the use of gasoline on
Sundays for motor vehicles and
boats will apply only to pleasure rid
ing. Fuel Administrator Garfield an
nounced Saturday. He said reason
able use of gasoline driven vehicles
was not intended to be prohibited.
"The request made by the Fuel
Administration" said a statement is
sued at the administration office,
"that pleasure riding be discontinued
on Sunday for the present, in order
to conserve our supply of gasoline
for war needs, was not intended to
prohibit reasonable use of gasoline
driven vehicles as a means Of nee
essary transportation, where no 9TH
er means are available.
'Mr. Garfield believes that the
public will construe the request wise
ly and intelligently and will not use
their automobiles for other than the
most necessary purposes. The inten-
ton of the request is that all mere
pleasure riding be eliminated, but
that necessary use of the automobile
be not interfered with.
AUST what is pleasure riding and
what is necessary use must be de-
termined by the individual; keeping
in mind always that We must have
additional reserves of gasoline so
that there may be no possibility of
delays in overseas shipments.
"The United States Fuel Admins
tration will not attempt to taboo
automobile traffic on Sunday"
While taxicabs were not mention
ed in the statement, it was said in
formally the restrictions would not
prevent taxi service for necessary
purposes, though there should be no
hiring of cabs for pleasure riding.
The garages in this city were
closed Sunday and no gasoline could
be purchased except by physicians
owning cars.

DEATH RESULTS
FROM ACCIDENT
Miss Maggie Clay Dies as the Result
of Very Peculiar
Accident

The Grim Reaper took from our
midst last week one of the best be-
loved women of our county when
Miss Margaret B. Clay answered the
final summons. Miss Clay was an
jured in rather peculiar manner a
few days before her death. She was
riding in an automobile with num-
Der of ladies when the machine pass
ed horse driven by two men; just
as the machine passed the horse he
reared up and plunged through the
back of the car, his hoofs striking
Miss Clay on her arm and shoulder
badly cutting and bruising them. She
was brought to her home in this
city and physician summoned and
for a few days she was thought to
be getting along nicely but blood
poison developed and the end came
quickly. Deceased was so years of
age and had been a member of the
Christian Church since early child
hood and always took an active IN
terest in the work of the church and
in all work for her Lord and Master
Her deeds of charity were many and
she was always happiest when rem
dering some service to those in sor-
row or distress, truly she was one
of Gods gentlewomen. She is sur
vived by her aged mother, two sis
ters, Misses Sallie and Annie Clay,
and one brother, Mr.. Ed Clay, now
of Louisville.
The funeral was held at the late
residence Thursday morning at 10
O'Clock with services conducted by
Rev. T. B. Bowen, of Lexington, as
sisted by Rev. Clyde Darsie and B.
w. Trimble, of this city. Burial took
place in Machpelah cemetery.
No words Of sympathy can al
leviate the sorrow of the stricken
ones but in their hours of distress
we can only hope that the God that
gave the departed one her bright
smile, sweet disposition and lovely
Christian life will be with them, and
in His own good time give them sur
cease from their sorrow.

be held at the Capitol to fix the
order Of registrants in their respec-
tive classes.
The Provost Marshal Generals
estimate today places the number of
men under 81 now in the army at
about 245,O00, and the number Of
those from 80 to 45 to 100000.
Kentucky, it is estimated, will fur
nish 254,1OS registrants in the new
registration.
Members Of the students army
training corps, consisting of youths
between the ages of Is and 81 will
be mobolized October l at more than
300 colleges selected for that pur-
pose by the war department, accord

OUR BLACK BOYS
Phone 493.

Justly the people of that part of
France behind the lines held by
American negroes cry the equivalent
of '1ong live the black soldiers of
America" for at every opportunity
the black soldiers of America prove
themselves good soldiers, fine pa
triots and vivid fighters. We have
the account of another negro Ser
geant decorated with the French
Croix de Guerre by reason of ex-
ceptional gallantry; and we may ex-
pect to hear of still other cases as
the war proceeds.
But it is not so much the gallan-
try of the negro soldiers in France
that pleases us, AZ it is the report
of the conduct of those same negro
soldiers when in rest billets. From
the time the negro units were first
placed upon the front line, little dis
patches now and again have told Of
their helpful, respectful and decent
attitude toward the native popula-
ton. We are proud of our black boys
and rejoice in every token Of admit
ration bestowed upon them by our
noble Alhes.--Louisyals Times.

MANY MILLION
WILL REGISTER
Proclamation of President Wilson
Sets Draft Machinery in
Motion Quickly

Within q few hours after the
measure had been passed the new
Manpower bill had been signed by the
President and a proclamation setting
into action the new draft machinery
had been issued by Mr.. Wilson. The
news of the passage of the bill was
received with expressions of general
satisfaction from the American army
in France. The men here realize not
only the immense resources it brings
to the aid of the government in the
pursuit of the war, but that it also
fares unsparing efforts to continue
what they have begun.
The high command is particularly
interested in the moral effect the
measure will have upon the enemy.
His man-power is now cOncededly at
its weakest point and his replace
ment sources are limited, and the
military authorities count upon
reaction in the morale in Germany
as a strong factor of the winter sit
uation.
1t may be stated that from the
commander in chief and the general
staff down to the rank and file
everyone is immeasurably encOurag-
ed and heartened by the passage of
the act.
1t is estimated that at least 12,-
778,758 men will register this time,
compared with nearly ten million on
the first registration of men from 81
to 81 on June 5, 1917. OF those
who enroll now, it is estimated that
100000 will be called for general
military service, probably two-thirds
of the number coming from among
the 100000 or more between tire
ages of Is and 81.
General March has said all regis
trants called into the army will be
in France before next June 80, swell
ing the American Expeditionary
Forces to more than the four million
men expected to win the war in 1919.
The last to be called will be the
youths in their eighteenth year, but
those of that age who desire and
who have the necessary qualifica-
tions may be indicted into service
on October l, for special technical
or vocational training, Registration
this time will be conducted as here
tofore by the draft boards. All fed
eral, State, county and municipal Of
ficers are called upon TO aid the
boards in their work, to preserve or
der and TO round up slaekers.
All registrants will be classified as
