Remarks: Never in the histo ry of Kentucky has there been a better array of Spiritual talent than this program affords. Ev ery man on it has agreed to come. A number of pastors from over the State have signified that they will come just to reap the ben efit of such a meeting. Men pay their way across the continent to Conventions that do not afford anything better. The music will be led by Rev. E. W. Coakley, of Nicholasville, Ky. ' We invite all of our brethren and sisters in- Russell Creek As sociation and adjacent associa tions to come with us. You can not afford to miss. If you are "coming to remain over night do not fail to write us a card. It is said that country people will not attend thingsin town. Let's show them such is not true; Bro. Duke and some of the pastors' of Russell Creek Association will spend from April 24th till May 6th going from church to church. , . Last, but not least, we are to have a home-coming at Camp bellsvilie May 9th and -10 th with Bro. Duke to address us, and his co-laborer in the great work in Texas, that prince of laymen, M. H.Wolfe. Mr. -Wolfe is a cot ton exporter, and deals with men all over the world. These two men love the Lord and his, king dom enough to come to tell what great things God has tlone for them. It looks like we ought to at least think enough about it to give time to hearing them. Campbellsvilie Church invites you here brethren. Lunch on the ground each day, and free entertainment while here. If you are interested in the uplift of your Association, your church and the edification of your own heart and the salvation of your children and your neighbor's children, we t invite you to come and show it by your presence. Let's make this surpass in crowds, any political gathering ever had in Taylor county. " L. C. Kelly. The Single Standard. Speech Delivered by James Holla- day, of Adair County, Who Rep resented Georgetown Col lege in an Oratorical Contest at Winches ter. IT WON THE SECOND PRIZE. At all stages in the history of the world it has teen difficult to establish a single standard by which to measure an institution, or to estimate the value of a ref ormation. In every age there have been four seemingly dis tinctvforces which have contend ed for supremacy; namely; Social, Political, Commercial, and Re Jigious. In estimating the value of an existing institution or pro posed reformation the wise indi vidual rc&ucc4MfuQnation first determines its Socialtdesirability, its Political expediency and its Commercial advantages. Then in the last 'analysis, it must be determined as to. whether or not it is right or wrong. In this dis cussion we propose to test the American Saloon by the same standard. 1. Measured by its effect upon society, is the liquor traffic de sirable? The desirability of any question affecting the social wel fare rests in the last analysis on its effect upon the individual, the family and the community, the basic factors of which societyMs composed. Because of the de lusive effects of the drug and the complexity of the human mechan ism alcohol was long believed harmless and even beneficial to man. Modern science, however, has proven that alcohol is not a stimulent, but a narcotic; that it lessens a man's efficiency, weak ens his intellect, robs him of his vitality and eventually produces the most deadly diseases. Painful experience has shown that its most deadly warfare is waged in the home; where it destroys the manhood of the father, blights the hopes of the mother and robs the children of their birthright. Statistics show that 85 per cent, of the children of non-drinkers are sound, while only 17 per cent, of those of inebriates are healthy. Since the liquor traffic incapaci tates the individual and wrecks the home, its baneful effects upon the community and society at large are inevitable. We should not be surprised therefore, that it crowds the corridors of the poor houses, the cells of the pris ons and the wards of the asy lums, that it conducts its dens of vice and crime in opposition to the school and church. In the light of these facts concerning this great social evil can ,our na tion remain indifferent to this in stitution that is destroying the life,of the Present and blighting the hope of the Future? II. It is the liquor traffic ex pedient and desirable when judged by America's , Political standard, t h e constitution, which was framed to establish justice, insure domestic tranquil ity, Dromote the general welfare and secure, the blessings of lib erty to ourselves and our pos terity? The advocates of thesa loon claim that the abolition of the liquor traffic would destroy the personal liberty of its pat rons, but they fail to realize that civilization is characterized by no one thing more clearly than that a part of the personal liberty of the individual must be surrendered in order that the wider, the rich er, the more valuable civil liberty of the state may be enjoyed by so ciety as a whole. They disregard the fact that 'our constitution guarantees equal rights to all, but grants special privileges to none. Not only does the liquor traffic undermine the character oflhe individual, th.sancity 'of the home, the teachings, of the school and church, but it attacks. (Concluded on page 3.) SPRING -1914.

" NOBLE PfcACOCK One of the best sons of the Grand Old Sire, Jordan Peacock, xwill make the season of 1014 at Gradyville, Ky., and will insure a colt for the Low Price of $10.00. NOBLE PEACOCK has proven himself to be the Best Breeder in Southern Kentucky. His get last year wore the blue tie over every other horse colt that was shown at the Columbia Fair, as those who were there and saw.that beautiful little Chestnut Missie that I, paraded in front of the Grand Stand that made' the other colts take a back seat and sit down till the little Missie graduated is evidence that NOBLE is the Best Breeder, and there were a number of colts by some of the noted horses of the coun try. Some.of them were sired by stallions that made the season at $25, and there were two in the lot that the sea son cost $50. Now what is the use to pay from $25 to $50 for a colt when you can get a better one for $10? - My plan is to live and let live. Just think of the wonderful Peacock mare that was shown at the Columbia Fair last year by Wilson Bros., and won every time she entered the ring. She won the-$500 prize for the best stallion, mare or gelding. Also $50 for the most beautiful stallion, mare or gelding, and for the, best saddle mare, 4 years old" and over, and she 's a Peacock, too. The stock that you have heard some stallion owners say couldn't do nothing, but when they come to a show down they are always in the money and especially when you have one to sell. , . Description of NOBLE PEACOCK; He is 6 years old, 15?t hands high- weighs 1 ,050 pounds, is a beautiful Mahogany Bay, goes-all five of the saddle gaits with both ends up as high as you ever saw a Peacock. He carries the best natural show tail I ever saw. Has a long goose neck and a beautiful head and a large, brown eye and is strictly sound in every way. NOBLE'S breeding, by Jourdan Peacock, No. 1148, by Peacock 498, by Blue Jeans No. 3. Jourdan's dam, Lena Rivers, No. 760, by Cabbell's Lexington by Gist Black Hawk, by Blood's Black Hawk. Noble's first dam, by Artist Jewel, No. 882, by 2nd Jewel, 84, by Jewel Denmark 70, by Washington's Den mark, 64. Noble's 2nd dam by Cromwell Denmark, No. 73, 3rd dam by Artist No. 75. There is -not a better bred stallion living than Noble Peacock, and not one in,the world that has as much rich blood in him as Noble, that stands at as low a price as this fine young horse. 3 JACKS. . I will stand 3 first-class Jacks at $10.00 to insure a mare with foal. These are all first-class Jacks, all- black - with size and style. Now if you want to breed to the best, come to my stables. I have been in the 'breeding business 35 years and know how to handle this kind of stock. Money is always due when mares are traded or re moved from the neighborhood. Pasture 10c per day or fed at costof ieed. Respectfully; v W. L. GRADY. J ;
