CORN GATHERING.

AS corn has been so badly
frOst-bitten in this section, it re.
quires aGreat dea. of care and at

should be placed in one crib and
sappy damaged corn in another.
1t will be better TO leave tins
corn in the field on the stalk
than to put it in the crib. It
will dry faster. and the moisture
will evaporate from The cob much
quicker if left in the field, espec.

Corn has been damaged at
least thirty per cent, and much

DO NOT SELL THE
FAMILY COW.

This may appear to be IA good
time to sell the family COW, or the
family dairy herd, because prices
are high, and it is easy to sell;
but suppose we sell? What is
gained? Prices for milk and bat.
ter are high. Seems higher when
we buy than we sell. Perhaps
we are crossing the STREAM, =
referred to by Abraham Lincoln
when he advised against swap
ping horses while crossing the
stream. In any case, will it not
be better if the family COW and
the family dairy herd are kept

The Council of
NATIONAL Defense

The whole nation is being
affected by the present rapid
change in business and social
conditions, every locality being
affected most in lines where the
demand exceeds the local supply,
and while the Food and Fuel Ad-
mIristrators are helping solve
these problems. they will never
be brought to normal during the
war, which is as likely to last ten
years as TO end in one. So all
the business men, farmers and
laborers should unite in an effort
TO make the sparsely populated
rural districts and small towns as
nearly independent of outside
supple of food, clothing and
fuel as possible ard lessen the
shipplr : of raw material out and
finished products back, which
congesis freight traffic and To
this extent interfores with the
shipment of munitions of war. II
is of great importance that wher'
ever possible food be conveyed
direct from the producer to the
consumer,
The privilege of having AT
abundance Of meat has beer
abused by our people. Many
families think no meal is com
plete without one or more kinds
of meat, when in fact we are in
Turing our health by excessive
use of meats and at the same
time helping the Kaiser.
1t means much to the cause
of Liberty that We eat more corr
bread and thus enable this county
to ship more wheat to Europe
There is more nutrition in
pound of wheat than in poun'
of corn; hence more food, les

have the cora, we know how to
bake corn bread and we can eat
it fresh. We also have the mills
on which to grind it. These are
some of the reasons why we
should use more corn bread
than ever before.
Here in Rockcastle County
we have never raised sufficient
wheat for our bread. We have
never known a year when car
load after carload of -four was
not shipped in from other couu-
ties and other states. We al

mill feed for our stock. We
have fine opportunities to raise
sheep, though we don't produce
one tenth of the wool to make
our wooden clothing.
We cannot furnish money
to clothe, feed, equip with arms
and ammunition, transport and

MODESTY OR INDIFFER-

! am asking-in all serious
ness-whether we-Of Rockcas-

or whether we are Indifferent to-
ward our obligations This : ar
age that Is breaking all proceed

history, but few of us know what
the others have done and still
fewer outside of the county
know that we have done any,
thing 1 would not have us
boast, but those who have made
contributions to County, State or
Nation deserve some of the rec
ognition that other, similar con-
tributers are receiving.
The production and conserva.
ton campaigns that were made
in this county were very educa.
tional, and those who were uu-
selfish and even sacrificing in
this work deserve much credit.
The people throughout the coun-
ty responded with a very fine
spirit. The cellars, pantries and
barns and cribs bear eloquent
testimony that a new day has

mendatlon of the tomatoes that
were canned by the "Club Girls"
of Rockcastle, but l have heard
this in private only. Most of
these girls are mere children and
public recognition of their ct1ici-
ent work would mean a challenge
to their progressive best.
No other appeal that has ever
been made to this county has
found its way to our hearts so
readily and has called forth such
generous response as did the
appeal for the Army Y. NJ. c. A.
This is the biggest single invest
Spent that Rockcastle has made
q young man hood. Has any
other county in this Common
wealth given three times its ap'
portionment in this work? Had
Jefferson county done this, every
daily paper in Louisville would
have carried the news through
out the State in head lines that
would have crowded the world
war off of the front page.
Again, no young man from
Louisville has received a COM
mission without receiving such
public recognition of merit that
every reader of LOuisville's dali
ly papers teels that this Kentucky
metropolis is proud of her sons.
Their pictures have often found
their way before the public and
always a biographical sketch has
told who they are. Rockcastie
has some sons who have received
commissions. Allen and J. h.
Barnett received commissions as
Captains and h. B. Thompson
was commissioned Lieutenant.
1t is no to Rockcastle to let the
rest of Kentucky know who
these boys are and to let these
young men know, that we appre'
ciate the honor that their eifici'
ency has brought to them and to
us.

to cure catarrhal deafness and
that is by a constitutional rene

by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachlan

inilamed you have a rhmbllng

when it is entirely closed, Deaf

Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored TO its, normal
