A A GETTING WATER TO THE BOYS 4NUHE TRENCHES PRINCES TO-DAY. The unususl story of a beautiful woman, the wife Pf atmr,'" moun taineer, who lotired for extltrment and life's thrilla and whe took ad vantage of the Srst i w ilaaaH' which presented itself to aafMM TV am bition, is told In "THE rrtaTPLE LILY," the startling new drama In which Kitty Gordon, the internation ally famoua beauty ia starred. In the mountains many exciting things occur as the result of this woman'a leaving home. She journeys by dog sled to the big city and there meets another man. She haa all the excitement that ahe craves and then, in the end, returns to the mountains, her simple home and the ordinary, every -day things of Ufa which ahe had so long known and, unwittingly, had grown to love dearly. ' Thia role gives Kitty Gordon some of the biggest opportunities of ber career and, of course, aha makes the most rf every chance. As the story of "The Purple Lily" moves at speedy rate and the supporting cast is very superior, it ia natural that The Purple Lily" ahould be one of the fastest moving, most thoroughly enjoyable attractions filmed in a long time. It is an exceptional story told in a fascinating manner, and it will thrill you and enchain your attention. Make a point of seeing it. REX TO-DAY.

On Thursday of Inst week the High School waa honored wltn the pres ence of Iter. & S. Smith, of the Christian church and Dr. II. W. Car penter, ehancelor of Transylvania University. Rev. Smith conducted the devotional exercises, after which Dr. Carpenter addressed the atadenta on "Holding the liimiennurg Line. The following are a few extracta from his address: "The thing which most vitally concerns vry American cit izen today ia holding the Hindenburg line. Although there are thousands of leagues of water and millions of the world's most valiant soldiers be tween us and the foe ysi it is of unmost importance that each citixen at home "hold his sector. Those far from tli' din of battle must ahare equally the burden of the aturggle with those lads in the trenches. On those at home aa well aa the boya at the front. depends, the fata of the world whether we shall maintain our civilization or live under a Prussian yoke. The eitizen'a part ia to conserve the food and in apite of the fact that we have had a year's instruction in food conservation only 20 per cent of the Kentucky homes regard in anv'way the rules set before them. It ia the duty of the school boys and girla to go tell their good, uncon scious mother that they are betray !ing our cause and atrengthening the Hindenburg line when they do not obey the food rules which our govern ment haa given them. Even ainc the new offensive tha French rations have been reduced and in order to win thia war w must go arm and arm, ahoulder to ahoulder with our Allies and we as well aa they muat suffer sacrifices. The amount of tugar consumed per capita haa been greater during the last six month than it waa for ths four years pre ceding our entry into ths wsr. It is evident thst somebody ia responsible somebody is slacking somebody is itrcngthening tha Hindenburg line. Instead of giving the girla candy the patriotic thing for tha boya to do to give them thrift stamps, and the girla muat squeexe their quart- era and save their government Each boy and girl muat hold hia aector, our soldier cannot hold hia alons. As ths lads from three continents go over the top wo must go with them. we must cloth them, we must sustain them. The flower of Canada haa blight ed and every daythe cables sra click ing our casualty lists, yet each gold tar unites and blnda ua to fight on! Not for America alone but for civili zation. . . While our boys are bleeding rl- era of blood a problem which requires aa much atrength and as much heroism confronts tha achool boya. Like an ocean liner tugging at Its anchor sog er to turn her nose seaward, just so a the youth of America tsarina; at it binds eager to go into ths fray. But the meaaag of President Wil son, of Baker and of Daniels ia, "Our tudent muat carry on their prepar ation." If the war last, five, ten. or fifteen years the men whom our gov ernment will need will not be the privates, although our privates con stitute the glory and flower of our American manhood, but ' ths men whom our government win demand moat will be those capable of lead ership. The American casualty list will contain mors officers than any other army that la fighting or has fought and to fill thesa vacancies w muat havs prepared men. Our government will ' demand men who csn think quickly, men who know they are right and can go ahead. If the war cloaca In two or three years the )oung men of America will have a world to construct. The other nations have been forced to draw on their students, and turn their univer sities into chemical labratoriea and they will be unprepared to meet the demands of the reconstruction age. On America therefore devolves ths responsibility for ths future of the unborn generations of Europe. It b haidei for tha boya to stay la school "So They YOU Americans who want to know how a plain young Chicago boy can play tricks with the German army hear the story of Lieutenant Pat O'Brien. The Hun couldn't hold him thb young daredevil American boy. How will they hold those others those millions like Pat O'Brien who are now "over there" or on their way. This is what Pat O'Brien did or part of it. He (ell in hia aeroplane 8,000 feet into the German lines. He was nearly dead, but they couldn't kill him. They started him on the way to prison All they had to hold him was a train going 35 miles an hour and four armed guards. But that couldn't hold our young man. He leaped from the window of the flying train. Then for 72 days he ran and hid and crawled and swam and cajoled and fought through Luxembourg to but hear the story yourself. " In" ' r 1 : : --i than it ia for them to join, but the message from the leaders of our coun try ia "carry on your preparation." When you have finished your ed ucation you will be prepared to meet the demanda which our nation will place on you and then you can LEAD our armies over the top and show the Huns that Right is Right and Cud ia Cod and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against them." David Henry, a High School fresh man went to Naahvill on Wednesday to Join the Marines, but lacked five points of paaaing.
