Save or Purchase
Breeding Animals

he present eXOTDltant PRICES
of meat, together with the report
ed scarcity of hogs and cattle
should cause the farmers OF the
country some concern for the fu-
ture. True the scarcity is not SO
great in this country as in others,
but on the other hand our export
demands are inordlnantly heavy.
1t is estimated that since the war
began there has been a decrease
in the worlds meat producing an
imals of ll5,000,0OO head. This
has had its logical effect.
Taken all around, this country
has increased its supply OF meat
producing animals; but, as we
have stated the demand on us
has also increased many times.
Exports of meat from this Coun-
trv are nearly three times as
large as during the period I'M
mediately preceding the war.
Now it is perfectly evident that
if we are to continue to need the
heavy demand upon our reSourc'
es We will be compelled to con
serve the source of supply. In
plain words, we must bend our
energies to breeding more live
stock of all kinds.
The feeding season is close al
hand and the farmer and stock
men will soon begin to sort ou1
livestock that is to 90 to the
slaughter. In this sorting, care
should be taken that all lively te
males be saved. With the pre-
sent high prices, a temptation viii
be great to let many of them %
but this temptation should be re
sisted. Each man should study
for the future and do his best tC
keep up the avail able supply
During the past two or three
years many good breeding ami
mails have been sacrificed that i
kept would now put their owner:
on easy street. All authoritie:
agree that there is absolutely NJ
danger of prices falling to any
great extent for years to come
so that each grower should plal
: to get the most increase possible
out of all of his animals.
Another runiouS practice tha

Appeal By State Board of Education

The state Board of Education of
Kentucky, realizing its duty and OBJ
legations as prescribed by law for
the efficient conduct Of all the
schools Of the State, the gravity OF
the problems as at present faced by
our Government, and feeling that q
better understanding OF the four
vital propositions now confronting
us would be Of great benefit To the
cause Of free democracy, is asking
that the people of the state Of KEN
tucky join heartily and sympathet-
ically in the propaganda OF better
informing our citizenship on four
vital questions:
First, The causes OF the war and
the reasons for our participation in
il.
Second, The military needs OF the
country.
Third, The economic needs Of the
country.
Fourth. International arrange
mcnts after the war.
That the schools may render their
highest and most patriotic service,
as well as the greatest educational
value, we are asking that all insti-
tutions of learning in the State do
all in their power to further better
understanding Of the four PROPOSE
tions named above. In order that
this may be done Systematically and
effectively, the State Board Of Ed
ucation, taking advantage Of the
power invested in il by law, orders
that Patriotic Day as set forth in
the Institute Syllabus be observed
and emphasized by all Institutes:
that all teachers shall on the first
day Of school. or as soon thereafter
as advisable, hold patriotic exer-
cises for the benefit Of the commun-
ity. To arouse the people to a real
i7ation Of their duty To the Govern
ment at this critical time and TO
thus prepare for universal national

the President and the National Com

missioners of Education, sometime
during the fall term of school.
We further ask and expect all
educators, religious organizations,
fraternal societies, women's clubs,
literary clubs, and labor organiza-
tions to join with all their power
in protecting the integrity Of the
schools during these stressful times.
This may be done most effectively
by emphasizing these two vital
points:
First, attendance: keeping the
boys and girls in school where they
may render a greater service to the
Commonwealth and the Nation than
by sporadic efforts along other ap-
parent lines Of service. Recogniz-
ing that this, the greatest war Of
the worlds history, may continue
for some years, we do not want to
fall into the error made by France
and England, by letting our educa-
tional system be hopelessly crippled.
We insist, in view of the importance
of the matter, that the compulsory
school laws be enforced even more
strenuously than they have been
in the past.
Second. to encourage the exten-
sion Of the school program to in
clude in its scope such industrial
service as will be directly helpful
in meeting the Nations immediate
or early needs, and these to be so
conducted as to be Of distinct edu-
cational value.
The State Board of Education
further requests the hearty Coop
Grafton of all Shool people and
citizens with every organization
and society whose mission is to rem
der the highest service to humanity
during the period Of the war.

Offices of the entente have nothing to
say about the fighting in Belgium. an
Amsterdam dispatch says that Q
frontier correspondent reports that
terrific artillery fighting began sew
aral days ago in Flanders. between
Ypres and the sea. and that 1t showed
no signs Of diminishing. thus indicat-
ing that the British and French may
be again tuning up for another mighty
blow against the German positions.
The Germans have launched repeat
cd attacks against the positions cap
tured by the French on the Aisne
front, but these have been repulsed,
according to the official statement
from Paris.
The Paris war Office says that the
artillery duel was lively between
Cerny and Craonne. and that the Ger
mans again attempted to drive the
French from the trenches captured to
the south of ALLIES. These attacks
were repulsed and the French troops
succeeded in making perceptible prog
ress to the east of the position, the
report adds.
Lens was the center Of the main ac-
tivity on the British front. The Ger
mans continued to exhibit signs OF
apprehension in heavy bombardment
Of the back approaches near Vimy
and in the west and northwest OF the
city.
The Canadian lines have been grad
ually tightening about the important
French mining center and the Canad-
ians now hold strong positions In the
western environs This apparently
has been disturbing to the Germans,
who haye placed a high value on the
retention OF Lens because Of its en-
vfable position in the Pas de Calais
coal fields.
This was another big day for the
British air service. A large number
of battles were fought over this front
with the honors decidedly in favor OF
the British. At least six enemy planes
were destroyed and nine other ma
chimes were brought down out Of con-
troll.
In the course of last weeks air
fighting one brilliant young Britisher
accounted for his fortieth machine.
Only meager Information has been
received on the fighting on the Rou-
manian front. The Berlin war office
reports that troops under Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen captured the
Roumanian town of Pantzin. a rail-
road junction in southern Moldavia,
which had been defended desperately
by the Russo Roumanian forces.

German airplanes which raded
the southeast coast Of England Sum-
day, apparently had London as their
objective, but the prompt defense by
British airplanes and anti-aircraft
guns compelled them to abandon
that plan. I'm the pursuit two of the
raiders were brought down by Brit
ish airmen. Berlin admits the loss
of one machine and Amsterdam re-
ports that German airplane was
forced to land in Dutch territory
Sunday, evidently while returning
from England. -
