BApTISTS REACH and
PASS THEIR QUOTA
IN SOUTHERN DRIVE
With Quota Of s11,5OO, Members Of
the First Baptist Church Con-
tribute $I1s,esO In First Day
Of Drive.

In many respects lase sunday was
the greatest day in the history of the
First Baptist church in this city.
Members of the church had been
urged to be present at the morning
service when the big Baptist 75 Mil
lion Campaign throughout the bounds
of the Southern Baptist Convention
was to be opened. The members an
swered this call we'll and it is doubt
full If at any future single service
there was ever better representation
of the membership present.
After stating the purposes of the big
campaign, Prof. w. ]. Caplinger, who
was Campaign Director in the local
church, called for pledges and in less
than an hour s12,500 had been pledged
by the members of the congregation
putting the local church one thousand
dollars lover their suggested quota Of
$11,500! The largest single subscrip.
ton was $3.50 and the smallest was
fifty cents, however, despite the fact
that the latter was the smallest In
money value, those who know the cir:
Icumstances under this gift was made
are of the opinion that it was by fal
the largest single. gift in the entire
campaign.
During the afternoon teams we're a
work throughout the city seeing those
members who were not present at the
morning service and the total sub
scription for the day was $13,620
Many of the members of the church
are yet to be seen and 1t is thought
that the subscription when the cam
paign closes at the end of this week
will reach about $4,000. o.

new FUEL ORDER
FELT IN MAySvILLE
BEGINNING TODAY
industries and Stores Hit in New Fuel
Order Found Necessary to Com
bat Big Coal Shortage.

Monday noon marked the return In
Maysyille of fuel conservatism meas
ures similar to those in force during
the war.
According to orders Of the Regional
Coal Committee, issued in Atlanta
electric signs and advertising displays
are eliminated, industries, excepting
public utilities and plants engaged n
continuous operations, are limited TO-
forty4cight hours operation a week.
stores and office buildings are restrict
ed to the hours OF a. m. to 4 p, m.
and theaters, moving picture houses
and other public amusements to the
hours between p. m. and 1880 p. m.
Refusal to comply with these regu-
lations will result in coal supplies or
electric current being cut of and
where 1t appears a violation OF law Is
involved Federal District Attorneys
will be asked to act"
There Is nothing In the order to In
dicate heatless days and lightiess
nights for Kentuckians, conservation
deemed necessary being accomplished
by the limitations described.
This order, which members of the
committee say is imperative because
of the coal strike, affects all territory
east Of the Mississippi and south OF
the Ohio and Potomac rivers with the
exception of Virginia and West VIZ
ginia.
Drug stores and similar necessary
businesses are excepted.

This order win have no direct af.
: feet ON the local theaters and moving
picture shows as they close theii
shows before 10:30 each evening. The
order will, however, most seriously af
feet stores as it requires them to dis
continue the use of light and heat a
4 o'cloek.in the afternoon. This comes
as a serious blow to local merchants
lust now at the beginning OF the
Christmas season but It is confidentl,
hoped that the coal situation will have
been finally solved by the time Mays
Vile stores are open on nights for thu
benefit of Christmas shoppers.

A casual call will not uncover the fact that Glendale is running over with enthus- iasm and energy, that it is going to grow and every man and woman in the town is bending every effort to see that nothing flinders that growth.
 The people of Glendale do not want to grow merely for the sake of being larger. They want to see the town build up because they believe it is their right. They are of the opinion that situated as they are in the heart of one of the richest sections of the valley, which is raising more valuable crops every year, they have a right to expect a wee bit more than the expansion granted by time. They want the out side world to know their advantages as they themselves know them, and to this end, every visitor who spends even few minutes there is being made to feel that he is indeed at the ultimate goal of his ambitions. In other words they believe in Glendale that it is a case of eventually why not now"

 In Latter's Home

Held at bay by his own gun, in his own home, while burglar backed out the rear door with jewelry valued at nearly s400, was the unique experience of H. D. McVay, local manager of the telephone company, last night The intruders loot consisted largely of rings, pins, bracelets and other jewelry belonging to Mrs. McVay and of Mir. McVay's pistol.
 MT. McVay returned to his home, 20 w. Willetta street, at o'clock last night after having been out to dinner with his wife. Upon entering he heard noise and before he could turn on the lights in the front room observed a man in the dining room. The in truder immediately flashed a light in MT. McVay's face and started to back toward the rear door, which he un- locked, and stepped out onto the He took the key and left Mir. McVay holding the inner knob.
 Upon investigation MT. McVay dis covered that the burglar had gained entrance by breaking a kitchen win dow. The entire house was rifled, as drawers were drawn and the contents heaped upon the floor.
 Owing to the fact that the burglar remained behind a flash light while making his departure it was impossi- ble for MT. McVay to secure a de- scription of him.-From Arizona Ga Zette, Nov. Is, 1913.
