their oaths of office by other methods
than those now provided by the
statutes.
Need of such law has been in
stanced by the failure of city officials
i'm all the wet cities of the State to
compel the closing Of saloons and to
stop the sale of liquor after July /,
last, it being a well known fact that
neither mayor, county judge nor po-
lice commissioner in any of the wet
cities made the slightest move to stop
the illicit liquor traffic. The preva-
lence of gambling, handbook workers
and other evils in violation of law,
against which no official action has
been taken until recently in any of
these cities, is another argument for
such law.
Backers of the bill say that there
are not half dozen counties in Ken
lucky in which the compulsory at
tendance law to keep children in the
schools is enforced. They point to
the fact that the law obtained by the
w. G. T. U. forbidding the sale of
cigarettes to children is openly vio-
lated in almost al 1.-The cities and that
no attention is being paid to the law
forbidding boys to play pool or bill

BOY PREACHER
GREAT REVIVALIST

What is said by the Stanford In
terror Journal to have been one of
the most soul-stirring and successful
revivals ever known in that part of
the state has just been concluded at
the Methodist church there by Rev.
o. H. Calls, of Wilmore, assisted by
Singer B. G. Grenfell,n of Dawson
Springs. There were over 100 pro-
fessions and the Journal says that the
church members of Stanford and vi
cinity have been awakened as they
have not been before. 1t further de
clares: "that the community has been
greatly benefited none who know
conditions will gainsay. Rev. Calls
is said to be hardly more than a boy
in years, but the Journal says that he
is wonderful preached filled with
love for his fellowman, realizing fully
the blessings of those who follow the
meek and lowly Nazarene, he knows
how to reach mankind and lead them
into the ways of righteoueness and
right we'll does he succeed in doing it.
The Journal says further: During the
80 or more sermons DR.. Calls p each
ed there was no sembIance of ary-
thing except for good and lasting. He
did not utter one word that the most
thin-skinned could take offense at.
His fight was for mankind and was
against the devil and sin and not a
preacher who has been heard in
Stanford in years has gained the
good will and admiration of the peo-
pie generally as he did.

WINDOW LOOTED

Berea gives credit to the greater
cities for thoroughly modern auto
mobile banditry. etc, but comes to
the front and insists upon credit for
the most up-to-date thfevery on the
calendar. F. w. Moore, jeweler,
claims he has paid price for this
reputation for the city, and wants the
fact known.
TheH was no gun play nor any
thing like the holding up and soaring
clerks out of their wits; not even the
proprietor suffered the knowledge
that he was being robbed. The thief
just broke piece out of the front
window where there were a number
of watches and fobs, together with
other jewelry OH display, bent wire
and went fishing. He continued un-
disturbed until he had fished every
article from the window and then
left. The police are sure he has gone
for they have been searching for him
since the robbery was reported by
Mr.. Moore who discovered his loss
upon returning to his store.

POSTOFFICE RUSH

Business Falls Of-Care-
lessness In Marking

The rush of business at the post
office is on and will continue to
become greater during the week,
according to traditions, since the
bulk of the business for short
distace sending is represented in
a day or two. The foreign bust
ness is not nearly SO great this
year as last, due to the fact that
there are thousands of young
men at home this year who were
"over there" last year.
The same degree of careless
ness, despite the warnings, that
has characterized the sending Of
presents heretofore, is much in
evidence this year, according to
postoffice attaches. Some OF tine
addresses are scarcely intelligibly
written to start with, and what
their fate will be cannot be fore
told.
Put your name and return adj
dress on the outside of every
package, even twice will do no
harm and then again on the inside
for in case of accident, the pack
age, as well as the money it rep
resents, will not be lost. Every
year there are thousands of
hearts saddeped and packages
lost, due to carelessnesS in ad-
dressing and properly marking
upon the part of the sender.
