Despite his dry subject. the speaker
managed to arouse no end Of laughs

A ripple Of laughter ran through the
auditorium when Mr.. Johnson predicted
that Scotland would be one Of the first
european countries to follow America s
example and devote itself hencerorth TO

Chuckles again were hoard when the
speaker said that Ireland would be
next, as "all Sim Feiners are abstain

TO laugh in spite Of itself. for both
statements were cordially applauded.

KENTUCKY GIRL AT
BOOTH HOSPITAL
Declares Her Life Was Saved at Sal.
walton Army Memorial Hospital
IN CoVington. 81

Not long ago a Louisville young
woman was given up for dead by prom
inent physicians. They pronounced it
cancer. Through the Salvation Army
this young woman was taken to the
Booth Memorial Hospital at COving1
ton, conducted by the Salvation Army.
For more than two hours leading sur
geons Of COvington and Cincinnati OPP
Grated on this young woman while her
faithful friend of the Salvation Army
corps stood by to win her back to
consciousness.
Today this young woman is alive
and well and holds fine position in a
Cincinnati Office. She declares that
she owes her life to Booth Memorial
Hospital, the, surgeons and the faith
full workers.
One object for which the Salvation
Army's Home Service Appeal in Ken
lucky, May 10 to 20, is to be conduct
ed is to raise money for an extension
to this hospital so badly needed. Ken
tuckianS in every part Of the state are
justified in giving to this fund because
all Kentuckians are welcomed to
Booth Memorial Hospital whether
they have money or not. No person
is turned away on account of lack Of
funds.
Booth Memorial Hospital holds the
record of caring for more charity pa
tients than any other hospital in the
United States. A training school is a
part of the hospital work, and during
the influenza epidemic many Salvation
Army nurses were sent out into vari-
GUS sections of Kentucky and render
ed valuable service.

TOUCHING TRIBUTE
TO SALVATION ARMY
Kentucky Marine, Now. Sleeping at
Chateau Thierry, Sent eautiful
Message Home to Loved
Friend

One dark night, shortly after the
American marines had received their
first baptism of blood at Chateau
Thierry, a Kentucky boy, Gilbert
Young, Of Springfield, sat crouched
in a dug-out writing a letter home. In
IT he described to one of his dearest
friends and former teachers, Prof.
George Colvin, now State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction of Kentucky,
the terrible ordeal through which he
had passed unscathed.
In one paragraph of that letter, now
q precious and treasured memorial, the
young Kentucky marine told of the
great work that had been done during
those trying hours by the various well
fare agencies. But greatest of them
an,'' he wrote, ''the greatest and best
of them all, God bless them forever,
is the Salvation Army"
The body of Gilbert Young, the
brave Kentucky boy, lies today at
Chateau Thierry beneath the lilies of
France, but his soul, poured out to his
friend, goes marching on in tune with
the great work the Salvation Army Is
seeking to accomplish now that swords
have been turned into plowshares and
spears into pruning hooks.
The sacrifice of Gilbert Young and
the hundreds of other young Kentuck-
ians who gave their lives for liberty
during the world struggle will cause
many a heart in the great Blue Grass
state to pour out IT'S benediction upon
the Salvation Army when money is so
licited in the Second Home Service
Appeal campaign May 10 to 20. The
Salvation Army today as always
stands ready to help wherever there
is a need.

SALVATION ARMY
IN PRISON WORK
AdJutapt James Tkompsoo Works
Army Prisoners In RefornsAtories
at Frankfort and EddyViIIe.

One of the most important depart
ments of work conducted by the Sal
walton Army In Kentucky is that OF
Adjt. James Thompson am@0g the men
and women in the state penal institu-
lions. Adjt. Thompson has been in
charge of the Salvation Army corps
at Frankfort and in connection with
his labors has worked among the in
mates of the Frankfort Reformatory
and the state prison at Eddyville.
Great attention has been paid to
the brighter Day League" a national
organization of men and women pris-
oners fostered By the Salvation Army.
Each member who joins the League is
given a button to wear and a certifi-
cate Of membership to hang on the
wall of his cell. There are more than
600 members of the Brighter Day
League in the Frankfort Reformatory
and about 300 in Eddyville.
Adjt. Thompson conducts a Bible
class contest twice a year in the two
prisons, continuing from six to eight
weeks. Each contestant must stand
and repeat from memory many pas
sages of Scripture. There is keen RE
VARY among the contestants. Every
Sunday the Adjutant spends many
hours inside the prison walls, as well
as on week days when his services
can be utilized.
A prominent feature Of Adjt. Thomp-
sons work is the care of needy fam
lilies of prisoners who go to Frankfort
to visit their relatives inside the pris-
on walls or who seek to see the gov.
ernOr on pardon matters. Men, women
and children often land in Frankfort,
knowing no one and with little or no
money. The welcome door of the Sal
walton Army Emergency Home is al
ways open. The visitors are fed and
given lodging and ticket home. This
is a part of the work funds for which
are to be raised May 1920.

dorsement and urging KentuckianS to
leave no stone unturned to put Ken
lucky in the forefront of states in con-
tributions. Governor James S. Cox of
Ohio was also prevented from attend
ing and sent a telegram of endorse
ment.
Prominent workers from all parts of
the state pledged themselves to do
their best. Prof. George Colvin, State
Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
delivered a splendid address in which
he called upon all for renewed efforts
in the big drive. Leading officers of
the Salvation Army from this section

Granting that budget legis-

to function and which should
not require more than two

gress.
Passed railroad bill, which
actually held the attention of
