Why Not Have a Day Current?

A mnch needed facility for the bus
mess houses around the court house
square is day current of electricity.
Our enterprising Mr.. Smith, who
owns the light plant tells US that this
can be furnished very easily if the
business houses will agree to put in
meters which he guarantees to furnish
at cost. The cost is very small, and
for our part We shall gladly install
a meter in order to get the benefit Of
the current, which in our opinion is
as much necessity as the night cur
rent. Not a great many of our bus
mess houses use or really need much
light at night, but on dark days and
late in the afternoons, as we'll as early
in the mornings, we are compelled to
use kerosine lamps or else business has
to stop. The short winter days are
coming on and many Of them are very
dark, making the use Of some kind Of
light an absolute necessity. We are
getting for town of our size our
lights at very reasonable cost and
very good service too Why not have
more light when we need it most.
We hope very much that Mr.. Smith
will at once receive all of the encour-
agement and cooperation from the
business houses sufficient to justify
him in putting on the day current for
use both for light and power.

Paper Enlarged.

This week we again start an eight
page paper. To do this our expenses
are increased, as blank paper is very
high, and not likely to be much cheap
er for some time. We are desirious
to please our patrons, give them more
reading matter than the publication
has been furnishing for several months
past. But very few eight page papers
in Kentucky are being furnished for
one dollar per year, for the reason
that one can not live at that price, at
the present high cost Of paper, but
those who have not raised their sub
scription, hope to pull even by an in
crease of business in their Job and ad-
vertising department. We have con-
cluded to start this week with our
publication enlarged for the reason
that we want to please our present
list of subscribers, and at the same
time hoping that our situation will be
appreciated, and that daily the mails
will bring US new patrons. We are
going to endeaVor to give you live
paper weekly, one that is worth the
money. We want to have representa-
tives in ali the different sections of
Adair, Russell and adjoining counties.
We furnish stamps and stationary to
correspondents who will write and
send in the news from their localities.
Look over this weeks News and if
you like it, become a subscriber at
once. Price, s1.OO per year. Sample
copies gladly sent on request.

successful sale of stock, farm machin-

3O5TH SANITARY TRAIN.
Ambulance Company No. s18.

Ambulance Company No. 318.
War has brought out some very pc
culiar things. Men of Ambulance
Company No. 318, OF the Three Hun
dred and Fifth Sanitary Train, have
been wondering for some time why
Sergeant Rosenfeld is carrying his
handkerchief in his sleeve.
1t has come out gradually, as un-
pleasant truth has a considerate way
of doing. While in Petersburg one
night last week, Sergeant Rosenfield
felt that he would be more comforta-
BILE if he made use of his handker-
chief. To get the said handkerchief
he had to search in his right side
trousers pocket. The hand was in the
pocket, the handkerchief was in the
hand, one second and the hand would
have been out, but just at that mo-
ment an M. P. tapped RoSey on the
shoulder, and in military manner
said. "Take your hands out of your
pockets, you are a soldier now. A"
With crushed, withered expression,
Rosey did as he was commanded, lift.
ed his hands high above his head and
replied; "Most certainly, but please
reach in my pocket and get my hand
kerchief for me, and while you are
there get my pocketbook, as L may
need that before morning. From
a Virginia paper.

GRAND LUKE MICHAEL AxxxAHDnovyfcx,
Ing Of all. Policeman, tchinovnik, Cos
sack or workingman were ahks affect
ed By the lack Of food. In this sense
The food difficulties precipitatsa he
revolution. for they Intended popular
feeling against tho government They
made the peopls think moss than svsr
before. And this led to 4 realization
on the part q TIE entise nation that
the government was trattcrous.
This was the foundation upon which
the success OF the revolution rested.
The Russian government had no sup
port Whatsoever In the ranks Of The
nation. Il was wholl- and purely the
creation Of q few intr1gues.
Conditions became critical IN Rusxia
last November. The disorder in the
food supplies strained the relatioas BE-
tween the government aud the democ-
racy to the extreme. When the duma
convened the nation waited breathlsss-
y for the coming Developments. The
leader Of the duma. Miliuko6. bitterly
attacked Premier Sturmer. This attack
led to the resignation Of Sturmsr.
ProtopopoR Retained Plass.
For q moment Il seemed that the
duma had triumphed. But Protopopo6,
the minister Of the interior. who was Q
protege Of Rasputin and Z friend Of
Sturrher. retained his post In spite OF
all protests. The newly appointed pre-
mier. Trepo0, was anxious to get rid Of
Protopopor, but the lafters connection
with Rssputin secured his position.
The situation grew more and more
acute every day.
Dark rumors OF . separate peace
spread from Russia. The army was
aroused as never before. For the Rus
sian army wants to vindicate its de-
feats I'm Poland The Russian army
and the Russian people firmly believe
that had It not been for the govern.
ment's treason Poland and Lthuanis
would never have been lost to the leu,
tons.
An attempt was made BY some Of the
leading figures In the duma and IN the
army to reconstruct the government by
the elimination Of Rasputin. The monk
was killed about ten weeks ago. 1t
was hoped that that would lead to the
overthrow Of the hated Protopopo6.
but instead It caused the downfall Of
Trepon. And Protopopo6s power In
creased even more.
There can be no doubt that hence

Mt. Angel Last Night

H. L. Aumack was instantly killed
