THE LIBERTY LOAN PRIMER
Why q Liberty Loan Anyway

Many thousands Of Americas
loyal, well-meaning and worthy
citizens do not just quite understand
the reason for these liberty loans.
All their lives they have regarded
the United States as the richest, the
most prosperous and greatest ma
ton on earth. To them it has been
a land Of peace and plenty, "the
home Of the free and the land Of the
brave" In a word, Gods country"
And now that war has come eight
or ten thousand miles away, it seems
inconceivable that IL should be ne
cessary for nation of such bound
less resources, Of such wOnderous
wealth and such varied and thriv-
ing industries and commercial in
terests, to be asking its citizenry
without regard to wealth or station
to contribute to the support Of the
armies il must send far afleld.
America, like its people, has been
pronigate Of its riches. Probably
the less said Of the past extrava-
gances of national government, the
better. You are largely responsible,
for you have seen the acts Of your
representatives at Washington with
out protest.
But the fact is that of the trifle
more than a billion dollars Of rev.
enues annually, nothing has been
saved. No surplus has accumulated
in the treasury. And the rainy day
has come for the nation as it comes
for its individuals.
Now we need s20O00,0O0.0OO for
this first year of war. IL will go for
loans to our allies; for the equipping
of the navy and the arming of the
land forces; for munitions Of war
and big and little guns; for army and
navy pay; for the purchase and for
warding of the tremendous food
supplies necessary for the army
support, and for army insurance to
support stricken families.
Meantime our normal sources of
revenue are interrupted and our ex-
pense of government increased.
We must have about si9,5OOOO0,0O0
more ready cash this year than last.
And the size of your Liberty Bond
purchase will measure your real
worth to your country as a citizen.

AMERICAN RED CROSS AT WORK
In FRANCE

II. p. Dawson. Chairman OF the
Red Cross War Council, announces
the receipt OF the following cable
from the Red Gross Commission to
France:
Along that desolate path Of ruin
behind the French and British lines
from Belgium TO Switzerland, the
American Red Cross work OF relief
and economic rehabilitation under
Edward Eyre Hunt, Chief OF the
Bureau, has rapidly taken shape.
Returning refugees and repatriates
have earth under them and sky
over them. - that is all. The land
has been swept clean.
twentieth Century Frenchmen
have TO begin again where North
American Indians would begin -
by hunting for food. temporary shell
ter. few clothes TO cover them,
handful Of household goods and
utensils such as pots, pans, knives
and spoons. an agricultural nipple
ment or two and perhaps rabbit
and some chickens, and, if they are
very lucky, a goat or donkey.
1T is to help such people as these
that the American Red Cross has
located its relief warehouses at
strategic points just behind the
lines, such as scissors, Noyon. Ham
and Peronne, and is shipping in
food. clothes, blankets, beds, mat
tresses, stoves, kitchen utensils.
reapers and binders, moving ma
chimes. gardcn-tools and hundreds
Of other articles Of prime impor-
lance to people who were prosper
Gus and contented only three years
ago. The service Of relief and &c
onomic rehabilitation has divided
its field into six districts:
zone for the extreme north and
Pas de Calais: one for the Somme;
one for the Disc: one for the Aisne;
one for the Marine and Meuse; one
for Meurthe and Mosell.
Resident American delegates have
been assigned TO these whose duties
are to oversee distribution Of relief.
to report new needs. and to cooper
ate in every possible way with the
admirable relief work Of the French
Government and scores OF devoted
French and other organizations"

GOOD ROADS DAY
By Jim Maret

One among the many meritorious
moves made by Governor Stanley
was his proclamation issued to the
people of Kentucky under date Of
September goth, naming Sunday,
October iith, as Good Roads Day.
The present conditions render
the construction and maintenance
Of public highways necessary alike
to our domestic prosperity and Ma
tional defense, and il is Of prime
Importance that popular attention
be called to the wisdom Of concerted
and organized effort to extend our
system Of public roads to co-ordi-
nate them with interstate thorO-
fares and to preserve them by capa-
BILE and scientific management in
the highest attainable state OF ef-
ficiency."
In an earnest endeavor to bring
the importance Of good roads before
the people Of Kentucky, to a greater
extent than heretofore, the State
Highway Department is mailing
hundreds Of copies Of the Cover
nor's proclamation, reaching all 10
calities, particular effort being made
to reach every minister in the Com
monwealth requesting them to ap-
peal to their congregations, on the
above date, asking every one to take
greater interest in this great high
way work which will tend toward
betterment in all lines Of legitimate
endeavor.
Ministers, especially those in the
counties thru which Boone Way is
routed, are requested to write out
that portion of their sermons bear
ing on the highway subject, and to
send a copy of same to Jim Maret,
(the Boone Way mani, II Frat Bldg,
Winchester, Ky. These papers will
prove mighty interesting reading,
a number of which it is proposed to
publish.

HIGHWAY LEGISLATION
Nv Jim Maret

No matter what momentous sub
ject may be before the people there
are usually scores Of men who
imagine they have a remedy and
seem TO think they can solve any
problem, regardless Of whether or
not they have ever given the sub
ject serious study. They are easily
guided, in most instances, by hear
say talk and prcjudices and in a
majority OF cases their proposed
remedies. especially in highway
work. would only suit local con-
ditions and might be totally unified
even in the adjoining counties much
less in the majority Of the counties
in the State.
The State Highway Department is
necessarily compelled to work with
the officials Of practically every
county in the State and can tell with
a great deal OF accuracy what laws
are best suited for the entire Com
monwealth.
II would be a most unwise move
on the part OF the Department Of
flcials TO advise or endorse any other
than the very best laws on the sub
ject because they are the ones, more
than any one else, that have to ad-
minister the law and would be the
most adversely affected by bad laws.
To make a long story short, every
proposed highway should either be
drawn by the State Highway De-
partment or else have the approval
of the State Highway officials be-
fore any serious consideration Is
given such bills by Legislators or
the people Of the State.
There is yet needed some highly
important highway legislation which
will be brought before the next
meeting of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture for consideration and action
thereon.

FROM A SOLDIER"

Perhaps some one would be in
terested in knowing where some of
the former Berea students are, who
are now in the service OF their
country. ] am one who left Berea
not more than ten days ago. am
now in Company NJ. 32i Infantry,
This camp life reminds me some
what of college life, except that the
discipline is much more strict and
punishment more severe for any
disobedience. but like this life OF
q soldier. As a general thing, the
soldier Of the Regular Army thinks
there is no one who cares anything
about him, or what becomes Of him,
but not so with this draft army.
We believe we have friends who
are thinking about us and praying
for our success as soldiers, that we
may overcome the temptations that
come 10 us. for they are many.
Camp Jackson. Columbia, S. c.. Is
the camp where all Of the draft
army from North Carolina go into
camp. We have the Infantry, the
Cavalry. Machine Gun Co., Field Ar
tillery. Coast Artillery, and soon will
have the Aviation Field here The
camp is made 10 accommodate forty
Ave thousand (i5,0O0) soldiers.
Major Adams says he is going TO give
us boys who were drafted into the
service a chance to rise TO higher
rank. il we choose to make our
selves worthy Of a position as az
officer. ! arrived in camp one week
ago. and my lieutenant now has me
in a school where he is training ten
OF us boys for non-commisslonet
officers. Every young man who con-
ducts himself properly and obeys
orders has chance TO advance to
position as commissioned officer.
We all have the same chance, and
the fellows that are willing To work
the hardest are the ones who will
make il.
I often wished, after seeing that
my number was drawn. that ! had
volunteered and gone in the army,
but | see now that | was the wiser
by not doing so.
Well il this note escapes the
waste-can. and any one appreciates
IL enough 10 answer il will write
again. Just remember that n soldier
boy in camp is lonely and that
word Of cheer from any friend will
be much appreciated.

PRICE OF COAL
SET TO DEALERS
n. A. GARFIELD, THE FEDERAL
FUEL ADMINISTRATION, CON-
MeNcep HIS DRIVE.
The Price Of Pennsylvania Anthracite
Pea Coal at the Mine 10 Reduced
Sixty Cents q Ton.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-H. A. Garfield, the
Federal Fuel Administrator, COM
menced his drive at retail prices of
coal. BY an order issued under the
Presidential authority no retail dealer
may make a margin greater by more
than 30 per cent than the margin he
made in 1915. The order is effective
at once. The price Of Pennsylvania
anthracite pea coal at the mine is re-
duced 60 cents ton, and the prices
and classifcations Of the Transmits
sissi2pi and Southern coal fields are
set for the first time.
The margin referred to is defined as
the difference between the average
cost of the coal to the dealer on his
dock or siding or in his yard and the
price at which he sells to the con-
sumner. This margin includes the deal
er's profits. In no instance may the
margin exceed that of July, 1917.
