RICKENBACKER
HERO OF AIR
Told His Thrilling Narrative of Air.
plane Fighting at Tabernacle
Friday Night.

Friday night at the Tabernacle
the people of Hopkinsville were treat
ed to one of the best lectures ever
heard in this city. Those who failed
to hear Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker
missed one of the most entertaining
Of narratives. He told in a modest
and unboastful manner of his deeds
on the Western Front, but was most
elaborate in his praise of his COM
rades who helped drive the Huns
from the air. Rarely~did he mention
himself except in connection with
some others who made their name a
byword throughout the world by their
bravery.
His subject "The Arena of the
Sky" was one which gave him ample
room to pay tribute to friend and foe
alike.
His vivid accounts of those heroes
who fought and died thousands of
feet above the ground ranged from
humor to tragedy. He told the story
of Lieut.. Smythe who went up with
him to an altitude of $4,000 feet,
where the temperature was 40 de-
grees below zero and who said on
landing" Rick, / am SO cold that Pm
afraid to smile for fear that / might
crack. l don't know how high we
were in miles, but I'll swear we were
high enough so saw. the sunrise for
dav after Tomorrow"
The story of Lieut.. Wilber White,
who charged an enemy plane and
went down to death with the Hun,
on the eve of the day he was to have
gone home on leave, that less ex-
periencel comrade might escape, Gre
ated deep impression Of the aud
ience.
At the conclusion of the lecture,
Capt. Rickenbacker showed series
of moving pictures Of air battles that
were the best ever seen here.

REVIVAL
HAS BEGUN
vIoLETTE-HOHGAT MEETING AT
CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOW
UNDERWAY.
SEVEN ADDITIONS so FAR
Meeting Will Continue For Two
Weeks With Evening
Services.

Began last Sunday. DR.. E. E. Vio-
lette, of Kansas City, Mo-, and Prof.
C. H. Hohgatt, Monticello, ILL.,, are
leading the Ninth Street Christian
Church in very enthusiastic and in
spring revival meeting. Two very
large audiences greeted the evange-
list last Sunday, and last night the
capacity of the auditorium was taxed
to the extreme.
The sermon on the objectionable
Sin" by DR.. Violette last night was a
clear, forceful and convincing dis
cussion of this very interesting theme
Prof. Hohgatt who comes to assume
the Super ten dency of the
Religious Education and Music in the
Ninth Street Christian Church, is
captivating his hearers with splendid
tenor solos. This church is extremely
fortunate in securing the services of
Prof. Hohgatt, and there is no doubt
but what the music of the Ninth St.
church throughout the year will be
of the highest type that can be found
anywhere. A large chorus is being
organized, improvements being made
in the Choir loft, and the piano and
pipe organ are both being used in
the musical services.
There have been seven additions,
so far. at the first three services and
the meeting has had most auspici-
Gus beginning. DR.. Violette is one of
the most eloquent evangelists that
has ever visited our city, and his
tierce style and clean cut speech is
indeed refreshing and attractive. His
sermons are brief, bright and practi-
cally to the point. Everyone who has
heard him is loud in his praise for
this distinguished evangelist. The
meeting will continue for two weeks
more.

Yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock
at the Methodist church, Mrs Martha
N. Potter, of Bowling Green gave an
interesting and instructive lecture
and demonstration to the ladies of
Hopkinsville and Christian county
on various methods of cooking.
The cooking demonstration was
held in the kitchen of the Methodist
church and proved highly beneficial
to the housekeepers who attended.

lectures that are being given through
out the various counties in Kentucky

and instruction and interest to house,
keepers. These lecturers are sent out
by the State Agricultural Board thru

are giving demonstrations in the most
up-to-date methods of cooking, can
ming, preserving and other domestic
arts.
The first lecture of this series Civ
en- several weeks ago dealt with the
preservation and value of food.

HAND-PIcKED TICKET FOR THE
CONVENTION AT LExING-
TON TODAY
E. P. MORROW FOR GOVERNOR
Christian County Not Recognized In
The List of Nominees,
However.

Louisville, KY, May 13.-Kentuc-
ky Republican leaders seemingly have
no fear of creating soreness within
their ranks by providing hand-pick-
ed ticket for the ballot this fall. When
they meet in convention at Lexington
today they will recommend a candi-
date for every State Office to be fill
ed in November. They contend that
such action on their part will result
in less dissatisfaction in the long run
than were they to keep hands off and
leave it up to the best man to win
Republican nominations in the Au-
gust primary.
To be sure, the Republicans will
have to go through the form of nomi-
mating ticket through the primary
method in August, as the Kentucky
law requires this, but the real work
will be done in Lexington on Wednes-
day. 1t is doubtful if there will
be single contest for the Republi-
can nominations in August.
Ticket To Be Recommended.
For Governor, Edwin P. Morrow;
Lieutenant Governor, S. Thurston
Ballard; Auditor, John J. Craig, Cow
ington; Treasurer, James Wallace,
Irvine; Secretary of State, j. M. Per
kins, Frankfort; Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, w. c. Hanna, Shelbyville /;
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, R. P. Green, Bowling Green
and Attorney General Sawyer Smith,
Barbourville.
Unless present plans are changed
at the eleventh hour, the convention
at Lexington today will recommend
for places on the Republican ballot
this fall the following:

Knoxville Millionaire Merchant In.
terested in The West Side Bap-
tist Church.

Mr.. Jas. H. Anderson, of Knox
vile, spent Sunday in the city and
attended services at both of the Bap-
tist churches. In the morning he
briefly addressed the Mems Bible
Glass of the First Church Sunday
School and in the evening spoke at
the Second Church on stewardship.
In the course of his remarks he said
that he had ceased to be a mere tither
but was now giving all he made to
the Lord and had provided in his
will that all future accumulations
should be given to the Lord. That
he had been blest with enough for
all his needs and instead of retiring
he would work on for the Lord. He
announced his intention to help the
Second Church erect their new build
ing. The church was organized few
years ago from the First Church and
is to be helped materially by the
First Church members. Mr.. Ander-
sons voluntary proffer of aid was re-
ceived with much satisfaction.

Saturday.
SITUATION STILL UNSETTLED

Louisville, KY, May I3.--Withir
the next thirty days, in the opinion Of
students of Kentucky politics, and
perhaps sooner, one may form pret.
ty accurate opinion as to who is 90,
ing to win the Democratic nomination
for Governor By this time next
week, perhaps, all the candidates will
have delivered their opening speeches
and then they viii be up for discus
sion by the voters. Col. H. H. Dem
hardt, of Bowling Green, and Judge
John D. Carroll, of Newcastle, al
ready have opened their campaigns
formally, and Thomas S. Rhea, Of
Russellville, and Lieut.. Governor Jas
D.. Black will make their initial cam
paign speeches Saturday, Mr.. Rhea
at Frankfort, and the Lieutenant
Governor at Richmond
BY that time perhaps, Lieut.. Gov.
Black will have become Governor, as
Gov. Stanley is scheduled to leave
shortly for Washington in order that
he may take up his duties as United
States Senator with the opening of
the extra session of Congress.
In the meantime there is strong
probability that Col. S. M. Wilson, of
Lexington, may enter the contest on
a platform differing from the others
on prohibition and woman suffrage.

CAMPBELL-CRAWLEY SALE IS A
BIG sUCcEss-ovER 600
HEAD SOLD
TOP PRICES WERE REALIZED
Big Crowd On Hand And Receipts
Are $1zess:25-Blooded Stock
outsold The Scrubs.
TOP PRICES WERE REALIZED

Despite the threatening rain, the
Campbell-Crawley Stock Sale held
at the fair grounds Saturday was
great success. The weather kept
down the size of the crowd and the
offering of stock but over 900 head
of cattle, sheep and hogs were sold
for total price of $12,689.25.
Top prices were brought by all the
stock offered but the very great diff
ference between that brought by the
high grade stock and the Indifferent
was the cause of much talk among
stock men. These prophesied that as
a result of such sales, in a few years
Christian county will be producing
none but the highest grades of cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Two of the best Of auctioneers were
on hand in Messrs. Luckett, of Prince
ton and ]. T. Watson, of this city.
No time was lost. As soon as one
lot of stock were sold another was of
fered. The bidding started at 11:30
and the sale was over by $3.50. Din
ner was served on the ground by a
committee of ladies.
One of the best sales of hogs was
a sow and six pigs which were sold
to Jenins & Yates, st. Louis COM
mission men, for $151.
A flock Of 95 sheep, 81 old sheep
and 38 lambs, sold for $1,14O in the
sale. These sheep were consigned
from Trigg county and the owner
sold them after getting to town with
them to G. c. Courtney, who in turn
sold them in the sale and realized
handsome profit by his venture.
Another profit-making trade was
shown when Hunter Moss sold seven
shoats before the sale to Frank Clark
for $50. Mr.. Clark in turn sold them
for profit to Mr.. Dougherty. Mr..
Dougherty made the best profit of
all for in the sale they brought him
S98.
The best sale of cattle was the
Steve Williams Offering, of Pembroke
Mr.. Williams offered 20 head and fat
COWS sold as high as 500 and steers
as high as 500.
There we're many other specially
good sales made. In fact the entire
sale was better than had been ex.
pected.

which included the digging of an !rrisa-
ton channel in the flower garden. THO
result was a renewed chill.
The Dutch authorities. besides watch-
ing over his personal security. have Tre-
vented him from moving to Count Puec''-
ler's castle at Belmonte, near Wageu-

The ex-Emperor is becoming i1creas-

strct!ons and this feeling Is augmented
by the gradual departure of his old ser-
wants. who find life in Holland unbear-

1t is probable that the entire German
personnel will have disappeared soon and
the former monarch. who never could
do any simple thing for himself in tbs
way OF dressing. will be cast on his re-
sources.
His recent ailments have had
marked effect on his physical and men
