SUGAR SPECULATION ON
N. Y. EXCHANGE BARRED

Speculation in sugar which has
been advancing FOR months and was
banned on the New York Sugar and
Coffee Exchange last Thursday at
The instance OF Herbert G. Hoover,
food administrator. He requested
the exchange to suspend all specula-
tions in futures, based on his belief
expressed in a letter that the nor
NAL functions of such trading to
stabalize prices is lost under pres
ent conditions and operates to in
fate prices. A year before the war
Cuban raws sold as low as two cents
a pound while last week they reach
ed six and three quarters cents.
GRADUATED has advanced in the
same period from five cents to 9.15
cents pound.

Kentucky's great whisky industry
will terminate so far as the mano-
facture of new spirits is concerned,
at l o'clock, Saturday night, Sep
TENDER s. This is the decree which
has gone forth from the Offices Oh
the Food Administration. Ali the
processes incident to the produce
ton of distilled spirits for beverage
purposes must cease at that time.
The Food Administration based its
ruling on that section of the Food
Control act which reads:
"That from and after thirty days
from the date of the approval of
this act no foods, fruits, food ma
terials or feeds shall be used in
the production of distilled spirits
for beverage purposes"

Maj. Gen. II. G. Hale, U. s. A.,
will be the commander at Camp Tay-

open at Louisville early in Septem-

Notice.

There is an utter disregard by a
majority of the persons operating
motor vehicles in the city as to the
speed limit and the failure to use
muller, also another habit that has
become a nuisance to those living
in the vicinity of garages, viz: in
stead of walking into the garage and
telling those in charge what they
want they continuously sound the
KlaXon to the annoyance Of the
public. All of these practices must
be stopped. There is an Ordinance
of the city covering all of them, and
they will be rigidly enforced. If
not obeyed n private person will be
employed to catch those violating
the law and they will be vigorously
prosecuted. c. X. OLDHAM,
Mayor.

OIL POSSIBILITIES

Interest in the possibilities of
Montgomery county as an oil pro-
Queer is on the increase, especially
in the southern, southeastern and
southwestern portions. Parties who
were here the past week and offer
ing to pay from $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre in these sections were unable
to get any holdings, all of the land
being leased up. The most recent
operation in this county is just be-
vond Spencer Station, and about
eight miles southeast of this place.
Stoner & Miller have just leased
1900 acres of land in that section
and will sink Il test well at least
1000 feet deep on the lease within
90 days. The well of Mr.. Knott on
the place of Mrs. Eliza Marshall at
depth of 100 feet struck a slight
showing of oil and some gas. They
are now down about 400 feet and
hope to hit the pay this week. The
we'll near the Nest Egg meeting
house is down some 200 feet, and
Bishop has just spudded in on the
Eastin farm southeast of this
place. Contracts have also been
let for the drilling of two test wells
at Willoughby mountain about 9
miles miles south of Mt. Sterling.
With two drills in the eastern Sec
ton, two drills in the southwestern
section and the contract for the
drilling at Willoughby mountain
it seems that this section of the
county will be given Il pretty thor
ough test before winter sets in.
All operators and those interested
in oil claim that there should be
found in paying quantities oil at no
great distance from the Menefee gas
field which is just over the line from
this county. What especially en-
courages them is the formation in
the portions of the county before re-
ferrcd to and the long life of the
present gas field in Menefee county.

OFFERS EXEMPTIONS
FOR VOTES

Charges have been filed with the
War Department against James S.

that county, in which he is said to
have promised to secure exemption
from military service for men who
would promise him political support,
according to Gov. A. o. Stanley.

GERMANY ON HER LAST LEGS;
ALLIES SAFE-LL0YD GEORGE

|
Premier Lloyd George, speaking
in the House Of Commons, said this
time last year the wheat in this
country amounted to 6,480,00O
quarters, and that now it is $780,
600 quarters (6s,OOO,OOO bushels) (.
The stock Of oats and barley he de-
clarcd also was higher.
| There had been considerable
saving in bread consumption, the
Premier said, and owing to closer
milling and food economy there had
been an addition to the wheat
stock of 10000 quarters per week
! ca quarter is equivalent to $50 lbs.)
| Mr.. Lloyd George said the acre
age under cultivation showed an in
crease of 100000. If the harvest
weather were good the condition of
food supplies would he very salts
factory. The Premier added that
! there had been an increase in the
sugar reserve.
"The Government has come to
the conclusion" Premier Lloyd
George said, "that with reasonable
economy there is no chance of stary-
ing England out.
"The Admiralty plans for dealing
with submarines have been increas-
ingly successful"
Premier Lloyd George announced |
in the House of Commons that the |
troops of Field Marshal Haig had |
captured Langemarck. The Premier
said that Field Marshal Haig had !
telegraphed that 1000 prisoners
had been taken and Ave guns had
been captured by him that day. In
addition to capturing Langemarck,
the Premier said, the British troops
had gained ground at many points.
Severe fighting is continuing with
the result undetermined.
The French, Mr.. Lloyd George
added, had been cooperating most
effectively on the British left, where
the Canadian infantry had won
conspicuous success. The Premier
said: Germany now is barely able
to hold her own-not even that"
The British Premier said that in
the single month of April 100000
gross tons of shipping were lost
through Teuton submarines. In
July the tonnage went down to $780,
900 gross tons. This month there
was a substantial Improvement over
that of July. The net losses since
the commencement of Germany's un-
restricted submarine warfare were
under 100000 tons month.
Premier Lloyd George said that
in the first six months of this year
the new tonnage built was $4,000
while in the last six months includ-
ing purchases, the new tonnage
would be 1,424,OOO. The Premier
said also that a considerable addi-
ton had been made in the program
of naval construction.
With the cooperation of Ameri-
ca, the Premier said, there would be
sufficient tonnage for all of 1918 and
if necessary 1919, Although ton
mage had decreased during the last
year, he added, more goods had been
carried from overseas.

building shook to the thunder Of a

clattered TO the wrought-steel ham,

horses danced into formation to invade
