OVER TEN MILLION
FALL IN THE WAR
Table of Losses Show Allies to
Have Suffered Almost Twice
as Heavily as Foes.
RUSSIA THE HARDEST HIT

Washington, March l2.-More than
ten million men are recorded as killed
wounded, captured or missing, i'll the
European war in the first complete
tabulation of official and authenticated
semi-oificial reports Of the various bel.
ligerents received heie,
Among the military proper 4,44l ,20C

and 2,5o4, 500 captured and missing
Among civilians, especially on the
Russian and Balkan frontiers i'll Ar.
menia another 100000 are figured as
either dead or wounded through the
war.
Figures Not Exact.
These figures are admittedly only
approximate and in some instances
necessarily several weeks old. They are
not called exact in any sense, but are
known to be so nearly so as to give
a fairly reliable picture OF the wars
results.
They depend for their accuracy
first, on the official reports of the
various belligerents which are certain
ly minimum figures and then on q
careful rechecklng with all available
authentic information.
Allies Lose the Most.
The entents's losses are given as
6.3l8,40Q, as against 3,3S4,S0O for the
central empires. One reason for the
great discrepancy between the two is
believed to be the relative unprepared.
ness of the entente, the disastrous re.
treats in France at the beginning oil
the war, in Russia from the Mazurian
lakes and the Carpathians and in
Roumania.
The entente's dead total 2,S90,400
against l,S50,S0O for the central pow
ers; the entente's wounded total l.
90, 500, against $4,000 for their enc.

Heavy Losses in Dead.
Germany, because Of its fighting

a bloody retreat and with highly eff
cient medical service, has lost yer;

i'll dead. Nearly one-third OF its lossc.
are estimated to have been suffered

Austria is only slightly less heavy
loser than Germany, with total Of
1909, 100. Its dead, however, only
number S23, 100 and its wounded 1885,
600. Its captured and missing run up
to sol 600, owing to the heavy losses
OF prisoners in the two retreats be-
fore the Russians.
Turkey Heavy Loser.
Turkey also has been a heavy Loser,
having wide sweep of front from
Gallipoli through Syria, Arabia. Me.
sopotamia and Armenia with serious
pressure from British, Russian and ma
tive armies. Its total is given as
100000, with $4,000 dead, 10000
wounded and 10000 captured and
missing.
Bulgaria is the smallest loser, with
the meager total of 20,S0O, largely be-
cause the Serbian campaign was won
merely by the threat OF its entrance
into the war. Its dead total $500, its
wounded 1000 and its captured and
missing 5000.

Trying Something New.

Trying something new" is an &C
tivity of individuals not confined to
any special field. There are people
right here in Paris, for instance,
who never remain members of one
church for any length of time, al
though taking quite a good deal of
interest in religious thought if not
in religious living. We have others,
scattered all over Bourbon county,
who seem to stray after other medi-
cine for fancied maladies.
4 There is no community without a
certain proportion of men and wo-
men of industrious habits who do
not work long at one job. True,
they are seldom idle. for even while
they are learning the duties in one
position they are searching for new
employment, and they seem to get
along fairly well, too.
But constant hunting for some
ing new" isn't lettering their con
dition any. Seldom do they quit one
thing to take UP another that pays
more money. Their sole desire
seems to be to get of at tangent

BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS

There was no rainfall in this sec
ton during the past week, conse-
quently roads, pastures and fields
are showing the effects of the heat
rain being badly needed.
The hot sunshine has been just
what was needed for the corn, which
is maturing rapidly. The roasting
ears on the local market are well
filled out, sweet and juicy, though
short.
The tobacco is in splendid condi-
ton. Topping has begun and the
leaves are beginning to spread and
widen out. The crop is banner
one from present indications. Fields
are in fine state of cultivation as a
result of the fine clear weather.
Wheat threshing is about COM
pleted and the yield in almost every
case is much better than was ex-
pected. Buyers are offering $2.35 to
$40 per bushel for new wheat.
according to reports, but the farmers
are not anxious to sell. A consider
able quantity is being marketed at
$2.35 per bushel.
The corn, tobacco and hemp crops
are the largest produced in this
county for years, and from present
prospects the yield from each will
bring rich returns. The corn crop
continues to represent the brightest
prospect on the farmers horizon. 1t
has made wonderful growth in the
past week.
The oats crop is about the aver
age. One grower, Mr.. J. T. Osborne,
who farms on the Sam Williams
place, near Paris, reports a yield of
forty bushels of oats to the acre,
which is record yield, fifteen
bushels to the acre having been
considered the average yield in Ken
lucky.
Vegetables from the home and
huckster gardens are plentiful and
there is little trouble in securing
quantities for use now and for can
ming. The Government campaign to
make housewives realize the impOr-
lance of canning all they possibly
can seem to be meeting with the
hearty cooperation of the women of
Bourbon county.
Apples are plentiful, as promised
by indications earlier in the season.
Peaches are scarce and of poor quail
thy when obtained Blackberries are
becoming more plentiful, but prices
have been but slightly reduced.
Grass pasturage is short, and the
milk supply is becoming diminished
as a result Grazing cattle will be-
come a problem unless pastures i'm
prove in a week or so. Hay cutting
has progressed we'll during the past
week, owing to the fair weather.
Glover and timothy will each make
fair crops.

DUTY AND INTEREST.

Every holder of Liberty Loan
Bond and every prospective purchas-
er in the next issue of the Liberty
Loan Bonds should bear in mind that
the purchase of a Liberty Loan Bond
helps the Government of the United
States, helps the citizens of the
United States and helps the pur-
chaser as a citizen as well as being
at the same time a splendid private
investment.
Moreover every purchaser of Lib
erty Loan Bond serves humanity
itself.
One can not serve his country or
serve his fellow citizens without
serving himself, his family, and pos
terity. The purpose of the Liberty
Loan Bond is to make the world safe
for Democracy, and every purchaser
of a bond does something to that
great end by which not only the
present but future generations are
benefited.

WILL BROCADES BE WORN?

A fashion reporter who was at
the remarkably successful fabric ex-
position recently held in Lyons,
France, gives a bit of most interest
ing news concerning the introduce
ton of brocade. 1t is this: That
the most exquisite brocade with an
unusual design has already been
made at Lyons for Nine. Poincare,
the wife of the President of the
French Republic, to be worn when
peace is declared.
This brocade is closely guarded
and it's design is not allowed to be
copied. Whatever celebration
France expects to have when peace
is declared will be the circumstance
that will unlock the case where this
brocade is kept. Nine. Poincaire
will receive it as a gift from Lyons
and some great dressmaker will
prepare it.
This piece of cloth is not the only
evidence of what the manufacture
ers of Lyons believe to be possibly
near Literally, half mile or so of
gold and silver brocade has been
woven and is now held in reserve
for the celebration of peace. This
weaving represents the very highest
pinnacle of the craftsmanship of the
master weavers of Lyons.
1t is said in exclusive circles that
the purchase of all of this brocade
has been arranged for by dress
makers and individuals of power and
prestige in Paris.

ONE HORSEPOWER WILL RUN
ALL WATCHES IN WORLD.

An astute French mathematician
has found that in certain watches the
motions exceed 100000 a year in
little equal jumps. In the same time
the outside of the average balance
travels $500 miles. Yet despite this
astonishing distance travelled by the
ordinary watch, the amount of power
consumed is trif1ing, states the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. One horsepower
is sufficient to run 27O,00O,000
watches. This is probably all the
watches that are in existence But if
there should be more there would be
enough power left in the one horse
power to run an additional thousand
watches or so.

About Marriage Bureaus.
'><>>>>>>><

Perhaps some Paris people will be
interested in knowing that the
matrimonial bureaus" of the coun-
attention of the United States secret
service department, for we daresay
there are some people in this city,
some few Of them, guilty at one time
or another, Of corresponding through
a matrimonial bureau"
In every town in the country there
is a class of citizenship whose time
is not so fully occupied with sensi-
BILE things but that they find a few
hours each week for carrying on a
silly correspondence with someone
they have never seen, and of whom
they know absolutely nothing. For
a few dimes they secure these names
from the matrimonial bureau" al
ways managed by bunch of sharks
who wax rich at the expense of the
lovelorn and the really gullible. But
now Uncle Sam has taken a hand.
He did so after discovering that a
number of the bureaus are selling
to such women as desire gentle
men correspondents" the names of
convicts in the State penitentiaries
Recent investigations show that
scores of women throughout the
country are now carrying on ardent
love-making by mail with prison
birds. The writer knows personally
of one Paris man who engaged in
a correspondence with Mason
county girl only to find in the end
that the girl was a negro cook in
the family of Maysville man
Hari
The matrimonial bureau" may be
innocent enough, but these revela
lions, vouched for by the secret ser
vice men, are enough to warrant
their adjustment This can easily
and quickly be accomplished by re-
fusing them the use of the United
States mails. We do not believe
there is lovesick girl in Paris, be
she honorable and all that she
claims to be in her matrimonial ad,
but who could find just as good a
"sould mate" right here at home as
any matrimonial bureau" could find
for her. And if there is a man in
Bourbon county so ostracised as to
have to resort to one of these bu-
reaus for someone to court, he
ought to move into a neighborhood
where he isn't so well known.
With as good and as cheap a paper
in Bourbon county as THE BOUR-
BON NEWS we can't understand why
some Paris people will wear out a
perfectly good pair of shoes running
to their neighbors to borrow an in
ferior paper. You'll hear them say
"Oh, there's never anything in that
old paper" but just let something
happen that may possibly be affect
ing their business or social interests
and how they hotfoot it over to a
neighbours to borrow THE NEWS.
