The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1917-08-10

Only 20 per cent. of the men draft
ed for the national army in Ken
lucky and Indiana will be called for
training at Camp Taylor early in Sep
TENDER. The same percentage will
apply at all the cantonments.
The entire national army of $751;
900 men will not be called to the
colors before the latter part of Oc-
tober.
Official, though informal, en-
nouncement of this fact was made by
officers in the Provost Marshal Gen.
erals Office, who explained that in
surmountable difficulties make it i'm
possible to get the entire army into
training before the close of October
The men at Camp Taylor will be
in training for approximately ten
months, and it is not likely that they
will be ready to board transports for
Europe before September 1, 1918.
The machinery of drafting will be
completed by the last of August and
the Provost Marshal General will be
ready at that time to meet any call
by the Secretary of War for the full
quota of men sought under the draft.
AS far as the work of this office is
concerned, the men could be moved
to the cantonments by September /,
the original date set for the begin
ming Of training.

"LIFESAVING" BREATHING DE.
VICE INSTALLED.

Mr.. George W. Davis has equipped
his Winton-Six automobile with a
Lungmotor, life-saving device used
to resuscitate those apparently dead
from gas poisoning, electric shock,
drowning, asphyXia of the newborn,
collapse during anaesthesia, etc.
This wonderful device will be a part
of the ambulance equipment at all
times. BY it's use four lives were
saved during the disastrous fire in
the Frankfort penitentiary some
weeks ago, and it has been the means
of restoring to life many hundreds
of people apparently dead from
drowning or suffocated by gas.
This wonderful device is at your
disposal day or night. Telephone us
when an accident occurs. In case of
an accident call either phone 1877, in
the daytime, and at night either 299
or 999. You are invited to call and
become familiar with the Lungmotor.
1t may be the means sometime Of saw
ing your life. The Lungmotor is the
only resuscitating device used by the
United States Government and over
1000 cities, hospitals, utilities COM
panies, etc. The Good Samaritan
and the st. Joseph hospitals, in Lex
ington, and the city of Lexington
each have one. (1t)

PROMPT ACTION SAVES LIVES OF
BATHERS.

Three bathers who has gotten be-
yond their depth in Stoner Creek
last Monday afternoon were saved
from drowning by the presence of
mind and ready assistance of Mr..
Elgin West, an employe of the Lou
isville & Nashville.
Mr.. Jesse Hodge had been teach
ing Mrs. Jack Owsley and Mrs. Rhoda
Blount, neighbors, the rudiments of
the swimming art. In her zeal Mrs.
Blount waded out little bit too far
in the creek, and went into a "step-
off, where the creek bank takes a
sudden slant into the water. AS she
went under she grasped Mr.. Hodge
and Mrs. Owsley, who were by her
side and all three went down. Mrs
Owsley and Mr.. Hodge tried in vain
to break the frenzied woman's hold
and only succeeded in going down
with her the second time. AS they
were going under again Mr.. West
who was close by, came to their as
sistance, and by strategy, succeeded
in getting hold of Mrs. Blount,
breaking her hold on the others, and
unaided, bringing the three exhaust,
ed batherS to safety.
Vests action and his unassisted
rescue of three drowning people
places him in line for a Carnegie
medal, and surely none was ever
more deserved.

DON'T HAMPER THE FARMER.

Before a year has passed nearly a
million men now engaged in produc-
tive occupations will be called to the
colors in the war for humanity and
decency. About a fourth of this num-
Der will probably be drawn from ag-
ricultural pursuits, cattle raising and
the like. This will put a strain on
our farmers, who have been urged
to do everything in their power to
make their lands yield their max
imum possible return. Our farmers
have responded nobly to the nation S
call for all the food they can pro-
duce, but of what use is it to produce
food supplies if they can not be de-
iivered to market? Corn that stays
in the farmers cribs, as it was held
for months during last winter in
many parts of the corn belt, does
nobody any good. Wheat that stays
on the farms of Kansas as it stayed
last winter helps only the rats. What
is the sense of the railroads cutting
tenn of the country, if the feeders of
the railroads, our public roads to
shipping points, are to be neglected
so that the good work of the farmers
is rendered of little avail by ina
biIity to get the stuff from the land
into the cars? There are few hys-
terical persons in Office who seem to
think that good roads are luxury
because their grandfathers did not
have them. They forget that their
grandfathers did not have to feed
00,000,000 American mouths, not
to mention a lot of hungry ones
among the 100000 people of
Great Britain and Ireland and the
40,00O,000 of France. All grand
father had to do was to supply food
for 100000 persons. His ways
are edifying to read about but worth
less to copy now. Why hamper the
farmer who is working from dawn
to dusk to help win the war by max
ing him try to haul our food supplies
over roads that grandfather knew
very well were wretched?
