Mr.. c. s. Kirk, county superintend-
ent Of adult Bible class work, visited
the Hilldale school yesterday giving
that live school one Of his character
istic talks, greatly to the delight Of
the superintendent and school at that
point.
Behold the Baraca class Of the Lew
isburg Baptist church! How is that
for a village church? And the same
result could be achieved in many Of
Mason county's smaller towns. The
adult Bible class movement is the
most encouraging symptom of the
Sunday schools progress. When men
and women find that Sunday school Is
Just as attractive as It was when they
were children and by their attendance
their children will not come to the
time when they think they are too big
to go to Sunday school, then will all
our schools be able to reach all our
children. Many, many children are
out Of Sunday school just because
their parents will not take them.
Sunday schools are asked to remem-
Der that the Offering for "Go-To-Sun-
is for the maintenance
Of the work and our own county and
state-real home mission work. The
schools Of Maysville have assumed
half of the goad set-$5OO. If every
school throughout the county does It's
part the whole amount will be easily
reached. With this goal attained the
county committee will go forward
with many plans for better schools all
over the county.

ONE WAY OF REDUCING
NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS

An internationally known golfer
was killed in Atlanta this week by
an unknown automobilist 1t has been
proposed to mark the place where he
was struck with a permanent sign,
which will inform all automobilists
passing the spot that 'recklessness
have a good influence in preventing
similar accidents.
This idea of marking the scenes of
accidents is not original to Atlanta;
it was first used in Western state
ana proved to be real warning to
drivers there. 1t is based on the the
DRY that the world forgets too quickly
and that to remind them of the past
is to safeguard the present.
1t might not be a bad plan to do
something like this throughout the
nation,3 especially at places where ac-
cidents have happened repeatedly.
The greatest cause of accidents is
the fact that 50 few people use their
heads. They trust too much to luck
and do not pay enough attention to
their business. Speed is INDUCED in
when speed is extremely dangerous.
The desire to beat somebody else is
also responsible for many accidents.
This week, at Savannah, a man driv-
ing his wife and children, attempted
to beat passenger train at cross
ing. He didn't do it.
We learn slowly. The accidents of
others make little impression upon
US. For some inexpiicable reason we
feel that we will be luckier, and 1t
quite often takes an accident close to
home to arouse US to the unnecessary
dangers. The general use of warning
signs, emphasized by the inclusion of
accident facts, in all likelihood would
cause those recklessly inclined to-
take a second thought before step
ping on the gas" or taking what they
consider $3.50 chances
The increasing number of automo-
biles and motor vehicles is making
the question of accidents one of
greater concern, because already
thousands of people are killed an
nually in accidents or by vehicles and
anything that will reduce the rate is
certainly worth inaugurating. Argu-
ments cannot be raised against i
plan that means the saving of human
ife.-Jacksonville Metropolis.

less fame, and a good income would
have fiercely resented an offer to
write advertisements. At the present
moment famous writer's Of both prose
and verse add to their fame as well
as to their incomes by this method
of writing and artists of established
position do not think it at all beneath
them to draw or paint pictures for
advertising purposes.
In fact, advertising is one of the
forms of activity In which men of the
highest talent are now engaged 1t
is no wonder that people find adver
Using matter often as interesting to
read as the rest of the publication
in which the advertisements appear
When an able artist or able writer
turns his attention to advertising he
is bound to make the result interest
ing.
The habit OF reading advertise
ments is a good one to form. They
should be read not only for their ex-
cellence, not only because of the
pleasure one takes In seefRg a thing
well done, but because of their value
to the reader. Most of us of the
present day owe lot of the infor-
nation we possess about many things
automobiles, for good instance, more
to the advertisements we have read
than to any other source of informa-
tion.
The modern advertisement not only
entertains. it informs. And one of the
characteristics Of modern advertising
is reliability. The information we
get from an advertisement is just as
trustworthy in every respect, as a rule
as the information we get from any
other article in newspaper or maya
zine.
Read the advertisements. They are
a valuable and important part of the
paper and of practically every other
paper and magazine published and
well worth every readers time.-
