THE KENTUCKIAN
FOR 1917

The Kentuckian on Jan. /, 1917, rounds out it's
18th year Under normal conditions the year 1916
ould have been year of unusual prosperity, but
as the public is aware the eXorbitant and unprece-
dent price charged for News Print Paper cut
,eep hole in the profits Of all newspapers and many
unable to stand losses were put out of business
The Kentuckian enters the new year with print
paper that cost S54 ton at this time last year now
costing about Sl40 for the same amount of paper
not AS good. How long these conditions will con-
tnue cannot be foretod.
Many newspapers have advanced rates but in
order that the circulation may not be essened by
a higher price the Kentuckan i'll still be sent for
$500 a year, the old price 1t will be necessary
though to adhere rigdly to the cash system, since
more than 100 must be paid in advance for the
paper upon which we print 156 papers and the cost
of printing leaves but little profit out of the second
dollar. We are asking our old subscribers to stand
by us in this crisis by renewing promptly. Adver-
tisers will also be asked 70 pay slightly higher
rate for space, which is all newspaper has to sell
outside of it's subscriptions We trust the adver-
Using public will see the reasonabeness of this
step.
All papers not paid for will be Stopped Don't
Let Yours Stop.
The Price VIII be the same as heretofore,

New Club Organized

A very profitable and interesting
meeting was held Monday evening at
the school house in District No. 8 of
Brockway township. This was arrang-
ed by the teacher, Miss Wiley, for the
purpose of organizing boys and
girls bean club, and was attended by
over thirty parents and young people
of the district. While it was called
primarily to organize a bean club, the
older people did not propose to be left
behind, and so organized a thriving
farmers club of eighteen members.
Miss Wiley called the meeting to
order and the program was opened by
singing several patriotic songs. The
st. Clair County Agricultural Agent
then explained the objects and benefits
to be derived from club work, and as
sisted the boys in organizing prom
ising bean club. The following are
the officers and members, and each
will grow an acre of beans, keeping a
record of all expenses, labor and pro-
ceeds from the sale of the crop:-Pres-
ident, Herbert ZinZo; vice-president,
George Connell; secretary, Roy Carless;
treasurer, Lester Zinzo. Elmer Car
less, Hugh Carless, William Meharg,
Verna Zinzo, Thomas Carless and
Craig Adams will serve as the advisory
board, Miss Zinzo acting as local lead
or. The boys decided to name their
organization "The Buds of Promise
Bean Club" This not only serves as a
name for the club, but shows also that
the young men are taking up the work
seriously and with the idea of making
the best possible preparation for full
and useful lives
Matters concerning farmers club
were then taken up by the adult peo-
pie and one of the most promising or
CARNATIONS of its kind in the county
was formed, and the following officers
were elected Wallace Adams, presi-
dent; Thomas Carless, vice-president;
Nclud al uLOy bCOACIolgy NlOhOAoo hC-
harg, treasurer. Program committee,
Craig Adams, Mrs. Thos. Carless and
Mrs. William Newell. Entertainment
committee, Mrs. Neil Connell, John
Cavanagh and Bert Holden. Menu
committee, Mrs. N. Meharg, Mrs. Chas.
Zinzo and Mrs. David Rose. Other
families represented in the member
ship are those of John Edgerton, Hor-
ace Hall, Walter brown and Joseph
Cavanagh.
The first meeting will be held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos, Carless on
May 18th, at which time a permanent
date for the sessions each month will
be selected and a name for the club
adopted.
This makes total of ten of these
splendid organizations wholly or partly
in st. Clair county and they are proving
to be one of the most vital factors in
developing more profitable agricul.
ture and better and richer rural life.

Two Burglaries in Yale

On Friday morning last, when post
master Farley opened up the office, he
found that someone had been there be-
fore he arrived The floor and case
were covered with dust and plaster and
upon investigation it was discovered
that yeggmen had made an attempt to
open the safe The front door of the
strong box was badly shattered and
stood wide open, and the floor was cov-
cred with the composition which is
used to make safe fire-proof. Two
holes had been drilled through the door
and the explosive injected and fired.
What it did to the main entrance was
shame. But the burglars were either
scared or got cold feet, for they made
no attempt to force the inner door.
Had they done SO luck would have been
with them for the safe contained nearly
$500, besides stamps and money orders.
The cash and stamp drawers in the
cabinet were rifled, and between $500
and 500 in cash and postage is missing.
Entrance was gained through the rear
door.
Sheriff Windsor was notified and was
on the scene in short order, but the viss
itors bad too much Of start.
Several people living near the office
state that they heard the explosion and
that it occurred about three o'clock.
Following close upon the heels of the
post office burglary came another
Some time during Saturday night the
back door of the meat market was
forced and the bold burglars proceeded
to help themselves to the contents OF
the cash register. For reasons known
only to the guy in charge of the act
only one drawer of the register, con.
tanning about SS 90 was tampered with
This sum was appropriated, but the
burglar would haye been further ahead
had he taken ham or a few potatoes
This last affair certainly looks as
though it was staged by home talent
and 1t is to be hoped the guilty ones
may be apprehended and punished.

CITIZENS MUST
REGISTER UNDER
MILITARY DRAFT

Word received in Richmond today
indicates that Governor Goodrich, an
ticipating that congress will pass the
immense war army, will, next week
announce the appointment of a board
of conscription in Wayne as well as in
the other ninety-one counties of the
state
In Wayne county this board will con-
sist of two Republicans and one Demo
crat. Under the governors proposed
plan for listing all men eligible for
military services, between the ages of
la and 25, married and single, a reg
istrar will be appointed for each vot-
ing precinct in Wayne and other coun-
ties
Take Census of Men.
These registrars will take a census
of all men eligible for military service
and submit the report to the county
conscription board
eOn certain date, to be announced
later, all men of military age. under a
severe penalty for failing to do SO,
will be required to report to the reg
istrar of the precinct he resides in
Some of the men will be drafted into
the military service. Others will be
rejected, but all men between the
ages of 10 and 25 must report to his
registrar on the date which is to be
announced. 1t is very probab Bile that
married men will not be conscripted
but. nevertheless, married men of
military age must report for registra-
ton.

ROBBINS OPPOSES
SEIZURE OF LOTS
FOR GARDEN use

Mayor Robbins does not believe the
city has the right to seize vacant lots
which the owners refuse to donate to
the Civic Gardening association.
"It would be a splendid thing if we
could force owners OF idle land to
put them into use, but I don't see any
means OF doing so legally" he said.
Several speakers at the mayors
garden conference with Governor
Goodrich in Indianapolis yesterday
advocated seizure of lots which would
amount to virtual confiscation. The
mayor attended the conference.
Richmond lot owners have not been
as patriotic as those in other cities,
according to reports made by mayors
at this conference.
E. F. Murphy, of Terre Haute, Rich
mond's new civic gardener, was to
have arrived this afternoon. He will
be quartered at the Commercial club
and will be available for advice to all
gardeners.

$4,000 DAMAGE
TO WAREHOUSE
DONE BY FIRE

fire in the large warehouse Of the
E. A. Feltman cirgar and tobacco
store, 600 Main street. about o'clock
last night, caused loss of approx
mately $4,000, ninety percent Of which
is covered by insurance.
The warehouse Is located In the
rear of the cigar store and is separate
from the store. 1t is believed that
mice started the blaze. Flames were
first noticed in a small closet in which
were hung hunting suit and some
overalls.
1t is probable that mice nibbled some
matches found in this clothing. The
flames spread quickly to section of
the warehouse where the most valu-
able stock of cigars was stored. Some
of this stock was consumed. The re-
mainder of this stock was ruined by
heat, smoke and chemicals.
Mr.. Feltman was greatly pleased
over the efficient manner Fire Chief
Miller and his men handled this dan
gerous blaze They fought the fire
with chemicals despite the fact that
the smoke was so heavy that the fire
men experienced great difficulty In
doing their work. Very little damage
was done to the building.

WASHINGTON, April 27-Debate
on the war army bill reached final

In the house general debate was

The house was to meet at noon today

to five minutes.

In the senate the bill was taken up
under an agreement to report final
vote by tomorrow night. Sixteen SEN
ators still were to be heard.
Senator Kenyon read figures to
show enormous increases in the in
come of corporations affected by the
war, and added:
Would Conscript Incomes.
II want to say that while l am vct-
ing for conscription of these men l am
going to vote later for conscription of
the great incomes of this country to
help pay the expenses of this war.
Conscription of income above the ordi-
nary amount than any ordinary de-
mands of. life is Just and logical. In
my judgment every income above
100000 should be Communicated or
conscripted for the benefit of the gov
eminent to carry on this war.
s-S-s hat proposition is going to come
up before we get through with the tax
bill. When it comes up for discussion
/ do not know whether there will be
the same enthusiasm to conscript
these great salaries and incomes as
there is to conscript the men.
Senator McCumber declared that ten
million best trained officers and men
would not win the war for the U. S.
if the submarine were not overcome.

that 100000 tons of merchant ship

HUELLER MAY

That's good. Now I will get hear

he was to be removed to Indianapolis
by Deputy United States Marshal
Frank S. Ream on presidential
order.

eminent official, and the smile on HUI
eller's face quickly disappeared.
knowledge of Case Withheld
It is not known what information
the federal secret service operatives
obtained against Hueller which result
ed in the issuance OF presidential
order for his confinement in the Mar
ion county Jail at Indianapolis. Nor
has it been officially stated whether
any charge is to be preferred against
Hueller.
1t is generally believed that Hueller,
being an alien enemy who has abused
the privileges accorded to Germans
residing in this country while a state
Of war exists between the United
States and Germany, will be regarded
as a prisoner Of war and, it is quite
probable, he will be interned for the
duration of the war.
Hueller was employed at the Starr
Piano works as an interpreter. His
arrest by Chief of Police Goodwin fol-
lowed a number of complaints made
against the man for his utter
ances in behalf of Germany, of which
country he is still subject, and
against the United States
