Store Burns at Rosewood.

The general store of Mr.. Fl.
Wesley Williams was burned a little
after midnight Sunday, the loss be-
ing total. Fire was discovered in
the rear of the building, inside, and
1t is thought that either a telephone
wire carried electricity into the
store, and that stroke of lightning
was the cause. Mr.. Williams had
$4,000 insurance on the stock and
$500 on furniture and fittings, which
Will bring his loss to around $500.
There was no insurance on the

To The Farmers Of Kentucky.
After an earnest and care.

After an earnest and careful
Investigation in this State .rela-
tive to the high cost Of food
products, the necessities or life,
the basic cause can be placed
upon the fact that the farmers
of Kentucky during 1916 failed
to plant and produce a sufficient
amount of food products, not,
alone to supply the local demand
out an inadequate amount for
their own family consumption,
and are today buyers in the
open market for such. The ciH-
zens of the cities and towns are
not expected and can not plant
and produce these necessities
thus relying upon the farmers,
and when both country and city
people become competitive buy
ers in the open market for these
products, it is no wonder that
prices soar to the present unrea-
sonable proportions. The first
duty the farmer owes to his
family is the production of a
sufficient amount of food pro-
ducts to sustain and feed the
members of that household.
This being done they are indie
pendent. Then. conserve the
products at hand. At this time
there are many effort being
put forth to teach the need and
advantage of conservation of
home products. 1t is done
through organized work, through
bulletins and through teaching
and fortunate is the farmer
who has learned this lesson of
production and conservation. "
In this way he will be surprised
to- what an extent this large
production and caring for the
surplus product will mean in
money in his pocket and susten-
ance to his fellow beings.
1t is for this reason that call
upon the farmers of Kentucky
to materially increase their
planting. this year, so that a
surplus may accrue>which when
placed upon the market will re-
duce the extremely high cost
of living and drive penury and
want from the many hungry
starving families of this Com
monwealth.
Sincerely,
Mat S. Cohen,
Commissioner of A oric1ltllre
