Prof. c. d. Bohanan, Of the Ktntuc-
ky Experiment Station also connected
with the U. S. department of agricul-
ture, attended the meeting of the Com
mercial Club last Monday night aud in
a very interesting manner told the
members what he proposed to do and il
they thought his idea a worthy one. he
would like TO have the endorsement
and the support of that body. His
suggestion was that community sur
vey be made of the entire county to
learn just how far the business inter
ests Of the town and its social inhuen-
ces extended into the country. The
commercial club gave its unanimous
endorsement and encouragement to
Prof. Bohanan and offered its entire
membership to assist him in any way
to get the necessary data to bring about
the desired results. A map will be
prepared of Carer county. by the
State College of Agriculture, show

and house to house canvas will be
made. There are several phases Of
community interest that are indices of
the relations between the city and the
farm and united effort upon every
citizen of the town is asked to assist
Prof. Bohanan in the work that bids
fair to be one of the greatest boons to
Lancaster and the entire county. that
has ever been attempted. Prof. Be-
hsnan has interested himself for the
past year in the problem of rural COM
and Lancaster people should
feel fortunate indeed to have this place
selected as the first county in Kentucky
to undertake such laudible enterprise.
The canvass will begin at once and it

The sinking with planned deliberation
by a German torpedo Of the great pas

sent to the bottom Of the sea, without

destroyed without a moments warning.
The fact that a suggestion had gotten
out that something might happen to
the Lusitania upon this voyage is no
excuse fot the deliberate and reckless

citizens under such circumstances, we
confess, is a delicate and difficult ques-

this act has no precedent in international
law. But the common principles of
humanity cry out against such cruel
methods. The civilized non combating

permit such horriable act to ripen in

desire of the people of this county that
the President act with calmness and

The Cunard liner Lusitania, which
sailed out of New York last Saturday
with more than two thousand souls
aboard lies at the bottom of the ocean
off the Irish coast, She was sunk Fri
day by German submarine, which
sent two torpedoes crashing into her
side while the passengers, seemingly
confident that the great swift vessel
could elude the German underwater
craft, were having luncheon.
The known survivors number only
Cos while there were 2,l60 souls aboard
the great liner when she was attacked.
OF those who We're saved 595 were
landed at Queenstown, and eleven at
Kinsale, while fifty-two others are re-
ported to be aboard a steamer.
Many persons notable in the business
or social life OF New York City were

be on the Lusitanis.

PROCLAMATION.

The City Council hes designated May
Ia and 18th. next, as Clean up" days
for the city and | most earnestly urge
all citizens to observe the days and see
that all trash and leleterious matter be
moved that We may have a clean city,
which is conducive to good health. The
Board of Health will have all premises
examined and hope Clean Up aay will
be observed in such way there will be
nothing to report. Attention should be
given stables and all out houses. We
will have the cooperation of the
churches, schools, and the different
societies to which the ladies' belong,
and | am sure they will do everything
IN their power to assist.
Let all the business men of Lancas-
ter clean up their premises and the
streets and alleys adjoining the premises
occupied by them, by burning or remov-
ing all useless and combustible materi-
ais and gathering all non-combustible
materials in receptscles and piles con-
veniently located along the alleys where
they can easily be found and collected
by men with wagons which the city
will provide to haul them out of town.
Now is the time to head off the flies
and prevent disease, and the spread of
it. This general and thorough cleaning
up will have much to do with that.
The response to this request last year
was very gratifying to every citizen.
For the benefit of the people, and the
city generally we would like to see us
improve in this particular ever year.
