I. S. HONEY COUNTERFEIT
ri EUROPE.

With the breaking out Of the present
r.a- IN Europe, hundreds of American
tourists We're caught within the war
zone. and Immediately found themsel-
yes in considerable of Il predicament
They were in The peculiar attitude of
having plenty of money and finding it
all of a sudden to be counterfeit. With
the breaking out of war and the sever
ing of friendly relations with foreign
countries, the only money that is legal
tender everywhere is gold, which is the
basis of circulation the world over.
Every effort possible has been made,
not only by individuals, but by our
government, to aid our own citizens
who are in this condition, and no ex.
pense has been spared to give them re.
lief, but this all takes time. Commun.
ication was either entirely broken of
with many foreign country, even those
who are not effected by the war, and il
was found impossible at first to get in
to communications with our stranded
countrymen and to get negotiable fund.-
to them, but gradually a way has beer
provided and the greater number Of
them are already back home, on theil
way here, or within a friendly port
awaiting the sailing of the first shiI
back to the dear old United States.

RURAL SCHOOL TERN
OF Garrard County To Be Seven Moaihs
Another Forward Step In Cause
OF Education.

The school per capita for the current
school year,is 80, more than 1t has
ever been before. and in consequence
the rural schools of Garrard county are
to have seven months term. The
schools which began On August 1st.,
will continue until they have taught
five months and adjourn for the Christ
mas holidays and viii resume again in
April for another two months term of
Spring school. This will serve the
double purpose OF giving the children a
long holiday, breaking the long school
term, and also enable such teachers as
may desire to do so, TO attend Normal
school for one term during the winter
and early spring. This course was fully
decided upon at meeting of the
County School Board held in the office
Of Miss Higgins on last Monday.
Miss Higgins summoned the entire
force of teachers of the county to her
Office on last Saturday, and the course
was fully discussed and decided upon,
after which the proposition was sub
mitted to the Board, and met with
their hearty approval and ratification.
We are informed that in some instances
the public money will be supplemented
by private subscriptions of the patrons
of the schools and some of the schools
will continue for a period of nine
months.
At the conference with the teachers
Saturday, the entire course of study
for the term was fully discussed anG
outlined. and as the books have arriv-
ed the schools will continue uninter.
ruptedly from this time forward.
The entire course of study arrived
last week, but owing to the unprecedent
ed demand was exhausted, and Mr..
McRoberts was compelled to make
another order which he hopes to have
in without further delay.

in quality of horses she takes frs;
place Kentucky is famed the world
over for her blooded horses.
In the entire United States there are
20, 962. 900 horses and they are worth
50, 291, Csc, 900 or .1OS.3 80 each.

GENERAL PROBE
INSTITUTED TO ASCERTAIN
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES
and IF POSSIBLE AP-
PLY some
REMEDY.

Foodstuffs have taken turn sky
ward, with the European war as the
reason given for such action. Such
procedure seems homogeneous in the
face of the fact that European ports
are closed and commerce on the high
seas is at a standstill. Ever the Ameri-
can people who are within the war zone
are unable to secure passage back
home, and If our people cannot get out
of foreign ports, we are at loss to IN
derstand just how our products are eX-
pected to gain entrance INTO those
same ports. Last week hogs went up
to $l0.15 on the Cincinnati market, but
as quickly went back more than Scots
per hundred. In sympathy with the
big raise in the prices of hogs, pork
and all kinds of packing house products
advanced in sympathy, although con-
siderably more than hogs, but those
prices NEVER WENT DOWN when
the reaction came. Sugar has gone
from to cents per pound in the re,
tail market, with good prospects Of a
further raise. Coffee, tea, rice. in fact
almost all of the necessities are quoted
at "A considerable raise.
President Wilson very promptly took
cognizance Of the existing state of af-
fairs. and will leave no cog of the gov
eminent machine idle in an effort TO as
cert in the cause Of the raise and if eXor-
possible put stop 10 the charging Of
( bitant prices. He has ordered Attorney
General McReynolis to set in motion the
machinery of his department through
out the country, and if conspiracy OF
any other Illegal motive can be found
for the manipulating of prices, the
guilty will feel Uncle Sans strong hand
at their threats. States and munich
. palitIes axe heartily cooperating with
/ the President in his efforts, Congress
Is instituting a rigid probe, a2d the
members, irrespective of their politica
faith, are rallying heartily TO the as.
! sistance of Mr.. Wilson, and if there be
q possible chance, prices will soon be-
restored to their normal state.
