A TENDER TRIBUTE TO A GOOD
FRIEND,

Luke McLuke, the irrepressible
humorist of the Cincinnati EnQuir-
er, runs the gamut from gay to grave
very often. 1t seems that in spite
Of the levity that creeps out in
Luke's writings he has a heart of
gold and can depart from the beaten
track of humor to indite a sincere
tribute to departed friend. In a re-
cent issue of the Enquirer, Luke
writes of the late Joseph Pugh, of
Covington, as follows, a tribute as
full of feeling as that Robert G.. In
gersoll paid to the memory of his
brother, or those of others whose
pens dripped eloquence:
Luke lost a pal and a real friend
last week when Colonel Joe Pugh, of
CoVington, KY, passed away. Joe
Pugh was one of natures noblemen.
His rugged honesty and his kindly
disposition found him $4,000 friends
and no acquaintance. To know Joe
was to love him. In 20-odd years
Luke never heard Joe Pugh speak an
unkind word of any man. He made
fortunes and he lost them, but he
never lost his smile and his faith in
his fellowmen. Joe Pugh died a poor
man because he carried his heart in
his pocketbook. He never refused

BAPTISTS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
rs MILLION CAMPAIGN

Kentucky Baptists are becoming
very enthusiastic over the IS Million
Dollar Campaign that the Southern
Baptists are planning to rails in cash
and pledges, November 80 to Deem
Der Z, 1919. OF this large sum of
money, Kentucky was only asked to
give six and one-half million dollars,
but now that the campaign is get
ting under full swing, the Baptists
of the State and of the territory are
all saying that this will be exceeded.
Many speeches have been made about
the campaign and the causes that
will be benefited by the money
given have been explained. AS the
people see the needs and realize what
a privilege it is to have part in such
a great undertaking, they are all
agreed that more should be done,
and Kentucky Baptist are so enthu-
siastic that everywhere the slogan
is, "Do more than is asked"
There are 76 associations in the
State and the majority of these have
now held their annual meeting and
one has failed to heartily accept it's
apportionment and practically every
association, as we'll as every church,
has said, 1--WE expect to go beyond
what we are asked to do"

PRESIDENT WILSON SAID TO BE
IMPROVING.

WASHINGTON Oct. Pres
dent Wilson continues to improve
and passed a satisfactory night, said
bulletin issued and signed by Rear
Admiral Grayson, the Presidents
physician; Rear Admiral Stitt, head
of the Naval Medical School here,
and DR.. Sterling Ruffin, of this city.
Applying the bulletin DR.. Gray
son said there was a slight improve
ment in the Presidents condition
and that he again insisted upon at
tending to public matters he consid-
cred pressing. The President par
ticularly desired to write a message
to the Industrial Conference to be
read at the opening session Monday.
DR.. Grayson said he was not yet
ready for the President to do any
work and would continue to insist
that he have absolute quiet and rest
and keep his mind away from official
matters. The physician fears that
any excessive activity on the part of
the President might cause reaction.
While a spirit of optimism pre-
vades the White House Monday be-
cause of the continued improvement
in the Presidents condition DR..
Grayson said he did not want to be
too optimistic and would continue to
watch his patient carefully.

vile to join Mrs. Davis and enjoy the

other high military dignitaries such as
majors and members of the Cover
nor's staff, and is ready to rattle
swords with any of them at a turkey
dinner, or he will make it ducks, if
ducks are preferred.
The Major is looking fit, and it is

Hospital is not ready for him to open
up as a regular doctor on this visit.

go under the knife in order that the
Major might have promising outlook,

community as a first class carver.
Only the condition of the hospital
prevents the carrying out of our

sugar equalization board through

crease in production OF ibitumin Gus
coal today was indicated by reports
from nearly all coal fields. In a few
sections, principally Illinois, however,
some Of the workers were in rebel
lion against terms of President Viii
sons proposal, acceptance of which
halted the strike, and in Montana,
Washington and Wyoming the miners
indicated they desired more thor
iough understanding Of the plans.
instances Of deferred resumption of
production were expected in the
|Pittsburg district where leaders con-
Ftinued officially to notify miners to
return to work, and in West Virginia
where new trouble was encountered
because of the old question of the
|"check-off' system, but the situation
generally was regarded with optimism
There were many predictions Of a re-
turn to normal output by early next
week. In addition to permission to
retail stores to operate nine hours
Saturday, no further immediate re-
taxation Of the strict fuel conserva-
ton orders was in prospect today.
That modification was made because
Of the near approach of the holiday
season.
