Mr. Lllls' cow gave birth to splen
did twin calves. These were robiut
youngsters and wero nllowcd tho
freedom of tho lot with the bovlno
mother. In the same lot also rang
ed n pig, weighing about eighty
pounds, also a robust specimen of
tho swine family. Mr. Ellis was In
the habit of giving tho calves tho
first choice of the mother's milk,
but was somewhat surprised 0110
early morning last week, when ho
went out to milk and found tho two
calves and tho pig alike partaking
of tho life giving fluid. Mr. Ellis
slates that the pig was sitting back
on his haunches, punctuating his
sups of milk with grunts of con
tentment. The mother cow was
munching hor fodder with ns much
satisfaction as If all her sucklings
wero calves, and her own calves at
that.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO
ELUER WRIGHT,
Tho following article, written by
victor W. Dorris, the well-known
evangelist, concerning Elder W. B.
Wright, appeared in one of Ameri
ca's, greatest ieli,gIous journals.
Elder Wrlqht was for sometlmo pas
tor of tho Christian church here,
lie died last May. Ho was the
father of Mrs. C. E. Smith, wife of
our Commonwealth's attorney.
The article reads as follows:
W. B. Wright was boin in Middle
Tbnnessco on March 29, 1S51, and
died May 21, 1918, in Scbroe, Ky.
He was buried in Princeton, Ky., be
side ills first wife. Bro. Wright
was man led Sopt. 20. 1S09, to Su
ran Dallas Holt, of Coopprstowu,
Tcun. To this union iiino children
were born, four of whom survive
Mr-s. Eitlah Fortnoy, of Central City,
Ky ; Fank G. Wright, of Madison
ille, Ky.; Mrs. C. W. Evans, of
Moberly, Mo., and Mrs. C. E. Smith,
of Hartford, Ky. Tho uiothor of
those children died In 1S05, and in
3r37 Bro. Wright wns married to
Xannlo Richards, of Gordonsvlllo,
Ky. Mrs. Clyde ,Mortln, of Detroit,
Mioh., and W. 11., Jr.. of Sobree. Ky.,
aro the children of this union. Pro.
Wright had but. recently moved from
Dawbon Springs. Ky., to Sobro-j,
whore he was to minister for tho
brethren. Hjs sudden and violent
illness provented his appearing In
tho pulpit after his residence there.
Ho began to preach more than forty
years ago, laboring principally in
Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana.
Ho also did much successful evange
listic work. Ho leaves a rich and
sacred heritage to his wjfo ami
children. The church can HI afford
to spare such as he, who neither
thought nor prayed nor preached In
doubt, but In the full assurance ot n
leal faith In tho real Christ.

TWO ARMY REASONS FOR.
SUPPORTING LIBERTY LOAN.
Giiiutl!,iiil Rice, noted Spoiling
Wiltcr, Relates two Diiinatlc
lmi'M'iit.s of l'i''liiK Lino.
Lieutenunt Grantlnnd Rico, with
tho American Expeditionary Force
in Frnnco, sporting writer of nation
al reputation, poet of the James
Whltcomb Riley stamp and Ameri
can fighting man, sends to the Llbor
ty Loan Committee of the Second
Fedeial Roserve District, two humnu
ly vital reasons why the "Home
Forces" h'.iouUI lay down a barrage
of Liberty Bonds that l keep the
Hun going Berlinward. Mr.' Rice,
who has been from tho Sonimo to
Alsace along various parts of tho
front slncu ho went ncioss several
months ago writes:
"Tho Sorgoant sut at tho edge of
a thicket Just this side of the River
Vesle.
I "His (lojcction was so complete
that ho failed to pay any attention
I to a scattering drift ot Gorman
' shells, still dropping hero and there
through the woods.
"If they had only cussed or rais
ed hell, 'ho said,' it wouldn't havo
been so ljniL J wouldn't have mind
ed it so much.'
' Wouldn't have minded what so
so much?' we asked.
"It was this way, 'he continued,
'Our bunch had been wiping out
machine gun nests and chasing Ger
mans for six days. They wero nail
ing us hero and there, but the bunch
still went forward. In fact, they
went forward so fast that tho field
kitchens couldn't keep up.
"For el das they had practical
ly nothing to oat and less than lit
tle to drink. But they kept going,
killing and Phasing Germans with
tho bayonet. Wo tried to catch up,
but we never could.
When we finally did we expected
( to hcar'ein raising hell because they
hadn't been fed. But there wasn't
a kick, not a word of complaint.
"Xt'er mind, Bill," they said; "It's
all a part of the game. You
couldn't help it." "-"
i "Think of nt! SW days with ri
fle ami bayonet into machine guns
and shell' lire without food or water
and yet not a kick! If they had on
ly cussed or laised somo hclr I
wouldn't havo carpd so much.'
"This is just one sample ot how
the A. E. F. tackled the Job In
France of what It has been up
against.
"Tho folk back, home had no
doubt that tho men at the front
would make good for them. The
men at the fiont haven't any doubt
t that tho folk back home will make
good for them also,
"If one delegation can storm ma
chine gun nests for sIx days without
lood and water in tho midst of
death, desolation and destruction
without a complaint tho others aro
Vrctty sure to raiso ?C, 000,000, 000
or twice 50.000,000. 000, so quickly
there'll bo no further debate as to
how strong the country stands back
of tho fighting machine it has sent
t!,S00 miles from homo to suffer and
die for tho greatest ideal tho world
has ever known."
Hoio is tho second reason:
"I saw him lying by the roadside.
In tho wnko of the American nd
vnncu Jut-t beyond Fere-enTard-enois.
"He was lying face downward,
thch rim ot his steel helmet burled
lit the mud. A heavy rain was still
lulling, but it had not yet complete
ly erased tho writing on a lottor ho
hod carried.
"Tho letter was from his mother.
It expressed tho wish and tho hope
that he was well and dry and safe:
'that he was happy and would soon
bo back,' as they wero thinking of
nothing olse but his return. 'Your
daddy,' she wrote, 'sits by tho firo nt
night and rotuses to talk of anything
hut you and of tho day you'll bo
bnck wjth us again.'
"Well-and dry-nnd safe with tho
rain beating on him, face downward
in tho mud and a bullet holo through
the top of his steel helmet. But ho
had fallen toward Germany.
"Ho was only ono of the many
who had' made the groat sacrifice.
His father and mother wero ouly a
small part of the many who had
mado tho greatost sacrifice.
"The question left Is a simple one.
How many of theso have died and
are going to die In vain because the
peoplo back homo couldn't raise the
money to crush the military power
that made such things possible."
