OF FLAG AND
LEGION BANNER SERVICE

On Sunday evening a very i'm
pressive service was held at the
Christian Church when the national
colors and the American Legion
banner were dedicated. DR.. G. NJ.
Klepfer made the presentation ad-
dress taking our greatest national
hero, George Washington, as his
| theme. He touched on hte early life
of Washington, that of wealth and
culture; then he took up his mill
tary career, touching briefly upon
his life as war time leader and
the fact that during the whole Of
the seven years of the war he never
once passed the threshold of his own
home or received one cent of pay;
but the heart of his talk was that
Washington is better fitted for the
high place of the greatest national
hero more on account of the real
manhood of which he is a worthy
ideal. He cautioned his hearers
not to lose sight of the "man" in
the hero" for he could never have
been the hero he has become to the
American people If he had not been
first a man of sound character and
sturdy principles. DR.. Klepfer al
ways brings a true message so put
that his audience is impressed with
his sincerity.
DR.. Leslie Logan, in accepting the
flag and the banner for the Legion
said that to him and each member
of the Legion the moss pleasing fact
of the service was that it showed
that the people Of the community
still retain that interest in the men
who took an active part in the
war-an interest that was so enthu-
siastically expressed during that,
time.
Mrs. ]. o. Gross sang the great
French national anthem, Mar
seillaise" most acceptably the rich
volume of her voice being we'll suit
ed to this music of intense feeling.
Under the leadership of Earl May
hew the American Legion accepted
the emblems of our country and
their organization with a salute.
1t is on such occasions as this that
the work of Mr.. Simms as leader of
the band is appreciated

ADVOCATE PUTS
IN ANOTHER MACHINE

The Mountain Advocate is trying
to keep abreast of the times. Re-
cognizing the value Of pictorials as
a means of keeping its patrons in
touch with the events of the day
and also the benefit derived by ad-
vertisers when their advertisements
are illustrated, the Advocate has
bought stereotyping machine and
has subscribed to a pictorial and
advertisers illustrating service.
Some two years ago we did not
need the advertising service but we
are thankful to say that a number
of merchants are now regular ad-
vertisers and it is for their benefit
that we are buying the weekly SER
wee and have bought the machine.
Also that our general readers may
enjoy the pistorial service. Monday
was spent in learning how to han
die the machine which, being a new
critter. called for further acquain-
tance, but we believe we now have
the process down fine.
1t is a pleasure for the Advocate
to constantly improve its service and
now we shall be able to better as
sist our advertisers both thru the
Advocate and by the use of cuts On
dodgers. AS an evidence of our de-
sire to bring the equipment up to
date we may say that we have put
over $4,000 in new equipment dur
ing the past two years.

WAR PICTURES

On account of the severe thunder
storm on Saturday night which put
the electric light plant out of COM
mission for a time, the World War
pictures could not be shown as ad-
vertised. However the Legionaires
secured the films for Wednesday
night and they were shown before
a large and appreciative audience.
The very defects Of the pictures
proved they were taken under diff
culties and showed the real work of
the men at the front. The efforts
of the Legion to bring these war
scenes to Barbourville are greatly
appreciated by her citizens.

Where Has Madce Heard This Name
Before2
AS the wounded officer finished his
story such enthusiastic admiration
welled up from my heart that I had
hard work to keep an expression Of
it from my lips.
Here was a man! One worthy OF all
the homage that could be paid him.
And yet SO simple, so modest, that L
knew an expression of admiration of
his conduct would make him supreme
ly uncomfortable.
The feeling had been strong upon
me that he carried his dislike of ap-
probation so far as to be annoyed if
any one looked at him while he was
reciting one of his own exploits.
had, therefore, kept my eyes carefully
averted while he was talking.
When he had finished, however, I
stole a shy glance at him. He was
lying back upon his pillows, his eyes
closed, and there was such a tragic
look Of WEAKNESS and suffering upon
his face that a poignant feeling Of
sympathy filled my heart.
Who was he, anyway? I asked my
self, and where were his people? Was
there no woman, mother, sister, wife
or sweetheart whose right it was to
watch by his bedside, to smooth away
by her loving tenderness the tragic
lines suffering had craven upon his
face?
Surely any woman ought to be proud
and happy to have the love Of such a
man among men as this wounded
young officer had proved himself to
be.
. "Piease Don't Misunderstood"
1 pulled myself up short-from some
hidden depth in my heart there crept
an unaccountable reluctance to dwell
further upon this phase.
THE traditional penny wouldn't be
enough, would it?" came a voice from
the bed.
I started violently, looked up TO
meet the eyes of the sick man fixed
sombreIy upon me. His quizzicaI
words we're evidently only the merest
camouflage for his real feelings. For
a panic stricken second I wondered if
he possibly could have guessed the
trend OF my thoughts, then sanity re-
turned to me. and 1 was able to
answer him coherently.
''They aren't worth even a happen
n.y. 1 said lightly.
I'm not so sure of that" he re-
turned soberly, then gave a little i'm
patient shake of the head as if free
ing himself from some unpleasant
thought.
