WEALTHY RocKcAsTLE MAN
Passes Away at Brodhead-Was a
Native of Lincoln.

Thomas S. Firth, one of the most
prominent and substantial citizens of
Rockcastle county, died at his home
at Brodhead at four o'clock Thurs
day morning, as a result of a gen.
eral breakdown and complications
incident to old age. Mr.. Firth was
rs years old, and nearly all of his
life had been spent in Rockcastle,
although he was born in the Preach
ersville section of this county. He
was one of 13 children, of whom but
one is now left, j. G. Firth, of Brod-
head, whose wife was a Lincoln
county lady. One of Mr.. Frith's sis
ters, was the mother of Mrs. Jay
Howenstine and Lester O'Bannon, of
this city, and Mrs. Joe L. B. Coffey,
of Frankfort.
Mr.. Firth is survived by three sons,
Messrs. Tilden, Morris and Herman
Firth. His wife preceded him into
the Great Beyond in July 1913.
Deceased was a lifelong member
Of the Christian church, and mem
Der of the Masonic lodge of Brod-
head. He went to Brodhead when a
yoang man, and engaged in the mer-
camille business there in 1864. Thru
keen business acumen, thrift and
honesty in his dealings with his fell
low man, he accumulated quite a
competence, and is said at the time
of his death to have owned more land
in Rockcastle than any other man,
his holdings approximating, probably
5000 acres. He was considered per-
hapsa the wealthiest citizen of that
county.
). Fe3eral services were conducted
at the home of the deceased on Fri
day afternoon at one o'clock, fol-
lowed by interment in the Brodhead
cemetery, the Masons having charge
of the final rites over their departed
brother.

NOTES OF CURRENT EVENTS.

There has been no diminution in
the severe fighting in the Artois re-
gion of France. Berlin reports that
German forces occupied large sec
ton of a trench northwest of Vimy
and a mine crater near Neuille was
retaken. Paris, on the other hand,
states that southwest of Vimy, the
Germans were driven back.
Secretary of War Garrison and his
assistant, Henry S. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, resigned yesterday be-
cause President Wilson would not
"irrevocably" support the plan for
a continental army. Their success
sors have not been chosen, but Con-
gresham Swager Sherley is one of
three men being mentioned in Wash
ington as a possible successor.
Germany and Austria-Hungary
have notified the United States that
after March / all armed enemy YES
sells will be sunk without warning,
and the action is regarded as de-
velopment of the recent memoran-
dunn of Secretary Lansing proposing
the disarming of merchant ships, and
an assurance of protection for un-
armed vessels.
Sixty-one indictments were report
ed by the San Francisco Federal
grand jury in the German bomb con-
spiracy cases, among the defendants
being the German and Austrian con-
Sular agents.

happier homes for the people already
here. He called upon Mayor A. b
Florence, j. c. Bailey, John S.
Baughman and VIC. Wilson for sug-
gestions as to what could best be
done to Boost Stanford, and the
ideas of all were a unit that new bu-
siness enterprises should be secured
if possible, attractive propositions
should be made as far as possible to
invite them here, and a live, aggres-
sive campaign instituted, looking to-
ward advertising Stanford as the
best town of anywhere near its size
in the state.
At the conclusion of these address
ses, by common accord, it was decid-
ed to amalgamate all of the CONNER
cial bodies of Stanford into a Cham
Der of Commerce. j. C. McClary
was chosen President, w. M. Bright,
Vice President and E. J. Howen-
slime, Secretary by reclamation, and
these were authorized to suggest an
Executive Committee or Board of Di-
rectors of six members to be reported
at the next meeting next Friday eve
ming, Feb. 10. The invitation of Mr..
Bright to make the directors room
of the Lincoln National Bank, head
quarters, was gladly accepted. Every
man present pledged himself to join
the new organization, campaign for
new members was proposed and will
be formally launched, and all left
with the keenest enthusiasm mani

HOUSE PASSES GLASS
RURAL CREDITS BILL
Measure Provides for Federal Farm
Loan Board and System Of
Twelve Land Banks.

Washington-The Glass rural credits
bill, providing for federal farm loan
beard and system of twelve land
banks, passed the house Monday by a
vote Of 295 to 10. A similar measure
already has passed the senate and the
differences probably will be worked
out soon in conference.
Little opposition was encountered
by the bill. Under its terms the land
banks would lend money to farmers at
not more than 6 per cent interest
through local associations, mortgages
running from s to SO years. The mort
cages would be used by the banks as
the basis for farm loan bonds.
There are many differences between
the senate and house bills to be ad.
1usted. The senate measure would
capitalize farm loan banks at $5OO,OOO,
the houses at $75O,0O0. The senate
would authorize loan associations with
unlimited liability; the house would
not. The senate makes the minimum
loan 5000, the house 500. The senate
would charge borrowers 10 per cent
interest on all defaulted payments;
the house would charge only contract
rates. The senate requires payments
on the principal In sums of 500 or
multiples and the house $25 or multi.
pies. The senate makes the actual
earnings Of the land the principal fac
tor and the house makes the agricul-
tural value the principal basis Of ap-
prausement.

American ConsuIs From interior OF
Mexico Have Come to Border for
q Conference on Plans Of
Government for Future.

San Antonio. Tex.-Major General
Frederick Funston announced Friday
that he was contemplating a with
drawal Of the second expedition into
Mexico, as its chief objects, namely
the rescue of Jesse Deemer and show
ing the Mexican bandits that they can
not raid American territory with i'm
punity, have already been accomplish
cd. He said that the supply problem
had become so difficult that he would
probably Issue an order Of withdrawal
to Colonel Sibley within the next few
days even II the bandits are not over
taken and captured. In view of his
statement that the expedition had al
ready accomplished its chief objects.
be explained that the delay in issuing
the withdrawal order was due to his
aversion to spelling any good chance
that Major Langhorne might have to
deal crushing blow to the bandits
that raided the Big Bend country.
The redistribution plan. whereby
General Funston hopes to give the
border region larger measure Of Sc
curity than 1t has enjoyed during the
last six years, is being executed with
dispatch. and the mastering in of com.
panies on the border continues
steadily.
While awaiting reopening of diplO-
matte relations with Carranza and re-
suits of the military campaign against
outlaw bands, the United States gov.
eminent is considering further meas
ures for protection Of American inter.

state department Friday announced
partial returns Of the census Of AmerI.
oans In Mexico recently ordered. It
was stated officially that the Ameri.
can colony at the City of Mexico now
numbers about twelve hundred. Re-
ports from other points indicate that
now there may be less than three
thousand citizens Of the United States
