See they not the banners flying:
Hear not they sad mothers signing.
Nor the orphans piteous crying
WeDtward of the deep,
They are fallen-heirs 10 glory,
On field once dark and CORY,
Blazon'd now in song and story,
Low they sleep.
Start the dlrge both soft and lowly;
Move the martial column slowly;
Keep their memory pure and holy
Bow the head and weep;
For at hons they were the truest,
On the field their blood the buest--
Love. whatever else thou doest
Bless their sleep
Ever may grateful nation
Tell their deeds with exuitation,
And in cesseless coronation
Pile its garlands deep,
Till the immortelle OF ages
Reared by patriots and sages.
Every heart and eye engages
Ger their sleep.
Oh, our dead, our dead In F1andersl
Who but wonders-who but renders
Homage to those brave defenders.
Slain beyond lhe deep?
In our homes they were the truest,
On the field their blood the bluest--
FAME, whatever else thou doest
Guard their sleep

AN INFIDRL's PARADISE

Were I an honest infdel,
I'd seek a better place TO dwell
A place where good and sanity danes
Would taunt me not Of torrid flames.
I'd seek TO breathe a northern air
Where naught Of heaven, hell or
prayer
Could ever haunt me in my dreams
And sweet repose pours out in
streams.
There would I haste me right away,
Elope with some benighted fay:
Erect n bulwark safe and strong
That sanity danes who came along
Might find no entrance to my dell,
Nor preach 10 me Of horrid hell.
I'd seek TO breathe a northern air
Far, far beyond the reach Of prayer:
I'd haste my land to populate
With infidels both wise and great
And there no lips should breathe the
name
OF God or Christ, but to defame.
No Bible there should ever be
To warn men Of eternity;
No church or Sabbath bell to ring,
No sacred music there to sing.
No hope Of heaven, fear Of hell
Should haunt me in this lovely dell
I'd seek TO breathe a northern air
And reck me not Of danes or prayer
No fear Of God could there prevail
To make the wicked sinner quail;
Naught but the moral laws Of MAN
To hold in check my skeptic band:
Naught Of conscience stricken men
Who quail beneath a load of sin,
Nor hope Of heaven, fear Of hell,
To haunt me in this peaceful dell.
What tho thru lack of Cody fear
Mans viler nature should appear,
What thru no fear of burning hell
Brutal passions gan to swell.
And men whose power it was to be
To force the laws Of my decree
Should thru such reckless fearless
ness
Become immersed in wickedness.
Still should sing within my dell,
at matters not, there is no hell.
III seek to breathe a northern air
And rid my soul Of every care"

And held in honor Jesus name,

But heed the Voice that spake of old

Nor scatter pearls before the swine.
I'd HE me from his wicked den,
Nor even pray for him again,
And let him breathe q southern air,
Were I dame or old or fair.

FORGET-ME-NOT-DAY

December II has been set apart as
day when the American people will
be called upon to make contribution
for the benefit Of unfortunate, dis
abled veterans Of the World War.
On that day forget will be
sold ON the streets Of every city and
town in this country, and the money
will go TO the relief of wounded ex.
service men who have been hit by the
present economic depression and find
themselves unable to make provision
for their own absolute need.
1t is pitiable fact that many Of
the men who went to war three years
ago for the sake Of the American Re-
public and the cause of civilization are
today stumbling up and down this
country without money and without
comfortable clothing. Some who are
in hospitals are not receiving proper
care. The government has come to
the rescue of a large number of these
unfortunate ex-service men, but many
who, thru lack of information, or thru
feeling Of pride on their own part,
are not receiving the government
help. The American Legion and the
Organization Of Disabled Veterans of
the World War, together with allied
organizations, are making every eff
fort TO put such men in touch with
the government, but until such time
as proper government relief comes,
these men must be cared for.
We cannot believe that any Amri-
can citizen who has been blessed with
a reasonable amount of the comforts
Of life will turn deaf ear to this
appeal. The war may be over some
day, so far as the most of us are
concerned, but ut will never be over
for the disabled veterans"
Forget-me.nots will be sold on the
streets of Berea, reliable men des-
ignated TO do SO. And in order to
facilitate handling of the money and
to avoid any possibility Of grating,
the money will be turned over i'm.
med'ately in sealed boxes to the Be-
rea National Bank and will then be
forwarded by that bank to the Gen.
trial Trust Co., in Cincinnati, where
it will be distributed proportionately
to disabled ex-service men who are
In need turnout the country. The
money will not be handled by individ-
uals.
As Abraham Lincoln said of the
Civil War Veterans at the field Of
Gettysburg, so we may say Of these
wounded heroes. The world may
soon forget what we have given in
money, or what we have said, but it
will not forget what they did in
France in order that the fondest
hopes of the world might live.

VOTE FOR VIM. L. WALLACE

By reason of the resignation of
State Senator Clarence Miller, of this
district, composed of the counties of
Estill, Owsley, Jackson, Rockcastle
and Madison, Gov. Morrow called
special election for December "a,
1921 to fill such vacancy. Chair
men Of the county committees met
in this city on December 7th to make
nominations, the Republicans nomi-
mating William L. Wallace, and the
Democrats Ronald C. Oldham, both
of this city.
In the nomination of Major Wal
lace-for he is Judge Advocate Cen
eral Of Kentucky, with the rank of
Major-the Republican committee
men did credit to themselves and
honor to this district; for altho
young man, only thirty-two, Major
Wallace has attained prominence as
lawyer and is a public spirited
and worthy citizen. After studying
at various schools in Kentucky and
elsewhere, he entered the Law De-
partment Of Yale University and was
graduated from that institution in
the year 1911 with the degree of
LIB. He at once entered upon the
practice of his profession in part
nership with his father, Hon. C. C.
Wallace, but marched to the front
when the war trumpet sounded, vol
unteering May IL, 1917. He was
commissioned First Lieutenant of
Artillery and made Trial Judge Ad-
vocate with the 138th Field Artillery
in France.
Winning honors in France, he re-
turned when the bugles sang truce,
and Immediately resumed his law
practice. In view of his talents and
military service, he was appointed
Judge Advocate General of Kentuc-
ky.
Such is the man whom the Re-
publicans have chosen to represent
this district. Gifted and eloquent, of
unimpeachable loyalty and IRE.
proachable character, standing four
square to the world because he
knows no dishonor and knows no
shame, he is a candidate and will
prove to be a servant of all the PEG.
pie of the district of whom Madison
may well be proud.
Strong men are needed in the
coming session, for there are whis-
perings that the Democratic major
ity will attempt, to turn some tricks
in the way of much needed" legisla-
ton. And Major Wallace will stand
for everything that will give the
farmer better chance, for every
thing that will give every toiler
full recompense for his toll, for
everything that will develop worthy
industries, for everything that will
make for Righteousness and high
err citizenship; in fact for every
thing that will make the sun shine
just little brighter on the old Ken
lucky home.
His opponent has no hope in this
district save from Republican over
confidence or forgetfulness; and do
not let Oldham score on these lines.
Let every Republican vote Is tho
that vote would decide the election.
Roll up majority that will be an en-
enlargement and Inspiration in the
years to come. Stand by William
