ton by the citizens, which AL

Considerable excitement was
caused last evening about six
O'Clock by the ringing of the bur

time. A crowd quickly responded
to the alarm, which was caused
by the new janitor at the bank,

for the button which operates the
electric lights, he inadvertently
pressed the button operating the

BOYS WORK PROGRESSING

Mr.. Alex Casey, County Chairman
for Boys work in the Y. M. C. A., con-
tinued his successful work in the
county schools yesterday, accompan-
led by Rev. Locke White. He visited
the Washington and Mayslick Schools.
Six clubs were organized in the
Washington School and seven in the
Mayslick School, each club to raise
$40 for the Y. M. c. A. work. Not a
single room in either school failed to
respond.
The canvassers report that the
most interesting feature Of the work
was the eagerness of the girls to have
a part in the work. In some cases
the boys showed their characteristic
pride in their own ability and refused
to let the opposite sex have member
ship in their clubs, whereupon the
girls promptly organized clubs Of
their own. The only 1000 room
visited was the High School room at
Washington. The most enthusiastic
room visited was the third grade at
the Mayslck School.

IoBlccQ PRICES
TO BE High Coming Year, According
TO Kentucky Sales.


That wartime prices for tobacco
will prevail during the coming year
Ia quite evident from the report OF
leaf tobacco sales for the state OF
Kentucky during the month Of Octo-
Der. Considerable interest centers in
the sale Of 1,4S5 pounds Of new, 1917
crop, hurley tobacco at an average Of
$17.34 per 100 pounds. Although but
little more In quantity than that con-
tanned in q goodsized hogshead Of to-
bacco, the October sale establishes
something Of precedent for new
hurley and indicates the high trend of
prices which seem certain to prevail
throughout the year. The average for
the tobacco hold for growers was
$3.50 per 100 pounds, the highest in
many years. Cincinnati tobacco men,
however, say that 1t is only fore
runner of the higher prices which
will be paid.
The total quantity Of old crop to-
bacco sold in Kentucky during the
month of October was 146,95O pounds,
which brought an average price of
$685. per 100 pounds, representing
a grand total value Of $28,21137. OF
this quantity 10S,63O pounds was bur-
ley, which sold at an average of
$2O.63 per 100 pounds; 1880 pounds,
at an average of $13 per
100 pounds, and 22,570 pounds OF
Green River, at an average of $685.

CORPORAL TH0s. BARBOUR

did Work the Y. NJ. q. A. IL
Doing For the Soldiers.

Mrs. Matte Barbour upon inqulr-
ing from her son. Tom, who Is In
training at Hattiesburg, Miss, as to
The work the Y. M. G. A. ID doing at
Camp Shelby received the following
reply:
Dear Mother:
am writing this In one of the
buildings erected in our camp by
the Y. M. G. A. and on stationery
which 1t furnishes us. What does
the Army Y. M. c. A. do for US fell
lows you ask!
Well I'll tell you.
1t provides outdoor and indoor
games, baseball, basket ball, volley
ball, foot ball, checkers and chess. 1t
supplies entertainment, music and
moving pictures. 1t conducts classes
in French, English and other Educa-
tional branches. 1t organizes Bible
classes and promotes strong relig-
ious work program. 1t keeps the. fell
lows out or trouble by filling their
spare time with useful and enjoyable
occupations. 1t takes the place here
If school, church and home and more.
it's the soldiers club. Its secretar-
les are friendly men, living under the
same camp conditions as ourselves.
When we go overseas these COM
iorts and men will go with us to do
icr the American boys what they are
doing for our allies in England,
France, Russia, Mespotamia, Egypt
and Italy. The "Y" is already over
there.
The aim of this work is at all
times to keep us fit and contented
and our officers and the pastors of
nearby churches are helping greatly
" bring these results.
To render this service here and in
the other camps 600 buildings and
tents are required in America and
hundreds more abroad. Thousands of
men together with equipment and
are also necessary.
And it doesn't cost us fellows
cent.
Who pays 1t all?
Well, I've wondered myself, but
I've Just heard how they do it.
AS usual they call on the folks back
home.
I've been told too that the fund
which was raised for this work last
spring has been exhausted and
they're going out again from Novem-
Der 18th to 18th in nationwide cam
paign to secure enough more to last
until July.
Therell be campaign committees in
every state and you'll probably hear
more about it.
It's going to take s35,000,000. That's
a lot of money but when you think
that several million men at home and
abroad are to be served it's certain
ly worth many times that amount.
Take it from me if you know any
body who really wants to make his
money count in winning the war by
giving the fellows the things they
need tell him to write his check in
just as many figures as he can and
veil lick the Kaiser in half the time
it will take If this money Is not sub
scribed.

FOR LAW VIOLATION
IN LID" TERRITORY

Bagley was visited this morning by
Federal Indian agents and two al
legged liquor offenders taken into Gus
tody. Their hearings are schedued
to come up this afternoon.
The prisoners are John Stretline
and Christ Nelson, the former is
charged with having two quarts OF
booze in his possession and the lat
ter with possessing 40 quarts.
A. H. Jester, United States mar
shall, served the papers and Judge ST.
mons will hear the cases.
Clarence Ferguson was arrested by
Indian agents in Bemidji this morn
ing for alleged introduction of three
quarts of alcohol and two quarts OF
whiskey into the dry zone.
The arrests at Bagley, friends say,
are regretable, but no censure Is at
tached to the officers who did their
duty. It is said that Stretlin Is 9
painter and troubled with asthma
and when a hotel where he is stop
ping was searched the bottle was
found in his grip. He lives In Bag
leg.
As for Nelson, it is asserted he IL
not a bootlegger and that it IS be-
lieved the stuff was left in his livery
barn, where it was found. by some
one who introduced the liquor into
forbidden territory.

The subject of drinking water with

dred years. ~
In recent years investigation by means

If your kidneys are sick, OF you suffer:

q little Anuric before meals. This can
be found at any good drug store: There
fore my advice to young or old is, always
drink plenty of pure water. And for long
life, occasionally take tablets of Anuric
three or four times day.
It is simply wonderful how quickly
Anuric acts-much more potent than
