SOLDIER BAND HERE

The band of the Second Kentucky
Regiment will be in this city at the
Fair Grounds during the whole time
of the Montgomery County Fair.
This is a splendid band and the fair
board was very fortunate in secur-
ing them. The boys will have their
camp on the grounds. There will be
a tent and officers in charge and any
man that desires to enlist will be ex-
amined. 1t is reported that those
who were drafted last week may en-
lis in the service now and in this
way will be placed in the Second
Kentucky.
Come out and give the soldier
boys a hearty welcome and show
them that the whole country is back
of them. They are nice clean, high
class men and will soon be fighting
for our country on foreign soil, so
while they are here let us all strive
to make their stay with US in old
Montgomery pleasant.

speculation.
The bill limits government control
virtually to the original subjects of
the House measure--foods, feeds
and fuels. In lieu of the House bills
broad provisions for licensing food
dealers, the Senate bill limits fed
eral licensing to the following
agencies and these only which have
products in Interstate or foreign
commerce: Wheat elevators, cold
storage and packing houses, farm
implement factories, coal producers
and dealers, and wholesalers of
designated necessaries.
The House bill provision for fed
eral requisitioning of nocessaries is
limited by the Senate redraft to
foods, feeds and fuels and other
supplies for military purposes only.
Government purchase and sale of
foodstuffs to maintain reasonable
prices also is limited by the Senate
bill to fuel, wheat, -four, meal, beans
and potatoes.

Property Owners, Attention!

Owing to the Fair being in prog
ress this week and the large num-
Der of strange people who will attend
I wish to urge the people to be very
careful in locking their doors and
windows. The police will be vigilant
but must have the cooperation of
the public to prevent thievery.

SPECIAL REGISTRATION

AT the Special Registration at the
Clerks Office Saturday 80 Demo-
Gratis were added to the city's list
of voters, 5 Republicans and indie
pendents. 220 woman also regis
tered. The large number of women
registering was due to the interest
being manifested by them in the
School superintendent race, in
which they have the right to partiei-
pate.

FOOD BILL
PASSES 81 TO 6
Wheat Price Fixed at $500 per
BusheI; Making Of Whisky
To Be Prohibited.

The administration food control
bill, virtually rewritten after five
weeks bitter contest, was passed
Saturday by the Senate 81 to 6.
Conferees from House and Sen
ate will begin work early this week,
and leaders are hopeful the measure
may be in the Presidents hands in
ten days. AS revaimped, the bill
gives the President broad authority
over foods, feeds and fuels, the lat
ter including kerosene and gasolene ;
provides for administration by a
food board of three members in
stead of an individual; and author
ICES federal fixing of 50 per bushel
for wheat at the primary market.
The Senate prohibition section,
prohibiting making of distilled bev-
erages during the war and directing
the President to buy all distilled
spirits. in bond was substituted for
the Houses bone dry provision and
will be one subject of difiulty in
Congress.
The government guarantee for
wheat would be payable at all prin-
ipal interior primary markets until
July l, 1919.
The Pomerene coal amendment, in
corporated by the overwhelming
vote of ~ to II, directs the Presi-
dent through the Federal Trade Com
mission or other agencies to fix coal
prices, wholesale and retail, regu-
late the entire industry and if nee
essary take over and operate coal
mines and fix prices of labor. On
a final vote, the Senate refused go
to % to place the bills administra-
ton in the hands of an individual.
This will be another source of con-
ference trouble. Appropriations in
the House bill of $150,0O0,0O0 were
left unchanged by the Senate which
added an appropriation of $10,-
100000 however, for federal pur-
chase and sale of soda nitrates for
fertilizers.
Another important Senate Addi-
ton to the bill provides for joint
Congressional committee to super
wise war expenditures.
The Senate also added provisions
against boarding of foodstuffs and
for regulation of grain exchanges,
authorizing the President to close
them if necessary to stop future

EVERYTHING IS
NOW READY
Montgomery County Fair Will Begin
Tomorrow Morning and Good
Crowd Is Expected.

The Montgomery County Fair will
open in Mt. Sterling Wednesday
morning at 10 AS, when the first ring
will be shown. The indications
point to a very successful exhibition,
and from the interest manifested it
would seem as if the Fair would he
one of the best ever given. The race
program is a feature this year, and
trots and PAGES have good entry
list, while stables at the ground
are full of thoroughbreds to compete
in the Derby and other running
races.
The opening day is Derby Day
and this race will show some of the
Aeetest thoroughbreds in the State
at the post. The sure starters with
jockeys are:
Mary H., with Findlay up.
Alice Weisanbach, jockey not Sc
lected.
Irish Gentleman with Walter Tay-
lOr in the saddle.
Allen Gold, with Bruch having
the mount.
Dengro, with Albert Pease riding.
Clare, jockey not selected.
Noiseless, jockey not selected.
Cuneo, jockeys not selected.
Col. Marchmont, jockeys not Sc
lected.
Delato, jockey not selected.
Tokay is also eligible.
The mutuel machines have been
installed and are ready for opera
ton, and will be in charge of c. B.
Elves, of Latonia.
There will be a 2:20 trot and
2:25 pace on the opening day with
another running race, cattle exhibits
and other shows.
Floral Hall entries are coming in
rapidly and the display will be ex-
cellent.
Browns Greater Shows are on the
ground for the attractions, and
three free acts will be given daily.
There will be a detachment of sol
diers on the ground from the Sec
ond Regiment with their band. The
track is in first class condition and
the grounds never looked prettier.
The Mayor and County Judge
have issued proclamations ask
ing all business houses to close

EXEMPTIONS To
BE DETERMINED
Local Boards Will Take Up Next
Step In About Week, 1t
Is Believed.

sWhat next 2" is the question now
most vital to the man who was Sc
lected in the drawing for the new
army. If he is physically able, and
is not so situated, either by reason
of dependents or the nature Of his
employment that the Government
viii not accept him, and is willing
10 serve where his country calls him,
there is nothing now to do but to
await the summons beneath the flag.
The man who is to be exempted has
several things to do; the Stacker
and the coward has a hard row to
hoe.
The various exemption boards
arc not yet prepared for the process
of wedding out those who ultimate
ly will represent Montgomery coun-
ty and Mt. Sterling, in the legions
to give much, perhaps all, that the
world "may be made safe for
democracy" AS soon as they re-
: .ceive the necessary blanks, affi-
nmnks and so on, and are fortified
Ae final instructions for their
be, the boards will meet and
he work. 1t is expected that
X will elapse before the ofic-
Its Of those drafted in the first
ment are receiped by the re-
yective district exemption boards.
As soon as these are received
veach man who has been selected in
the double quota will receive a
card notifying him officially of his
selection and fixing the date of his
appearance before the board, al
though mere posting of the names
of those drafted constitutes suf-
ficient notification under the law.
The man so notified then must APP
pear before the board on the date
named and be physically examined.
The examination will follow the
general lines of the new physical re-
quirements for the regular army.
II he is physically unfit for military
service he will be discharged. Two
doctors, acting Independently and
without knowledge of the others
findings, must concur in the opin-
ion that the subject is physically
disqualified. The Government may
appeal this decision at any time and
have regular army doctors pass on
the case.
HOW ORDER COMES
If the man is found physically fit

5 o'clock, and all have agreed to
do so.
Let everybody attend and witness
the Derby and help make the open
ing day of the Fair the largest in
its history.

and qualified and the man is not dis
charged or exempted for other
reasons, his name later will be post
ed as those accepted for military
service, and when the call to the
colors comes he must report at the
specified mobilization camp. In the
case of Indiana and Kentucky men
this will be at Camp Taylor, locat-
ed at Louisville. If the man has a
claim for exemption or discharge
he must file that with the district
board seven days after the date of
the notice that called him for ply
steal examination, not seven days
after receipt Of the notice, but sew
en- days after the date upon the
notice. He then has ten days in
which to file affidavits supporting
this claim, the blanks to be furnish
ed by the board. The board will
endeavor to pass upon each case
three days after the affidavits are
received. If the claim is allowed
che man is given a certificate OF ex-
emption or discharge, but this be-
comes imperative whenever the
conditions upon which it was grant
ed cease to apply.
If his claim for exemption is not
supported. he is posted as one
qualified for service and the man
then has three days in which to ap-
peal to the district exemption board.
If that body does not allow his ap-
peal he can appeal to the President
and if the President turns him down,
he has nothing to do then but kiss
his relatives goodbye and prepare
for reville at 5 lis in the morning
and eating from mess kits and leav-
ing to fight the Hun. Claims for
either discharge or exemption can
be filed either by the man himself
or by another person, affected by
his being called, such as his wife or
mother. Below are the statutory
grounds which, after being duly
proved, automatically exempt one
from military service: An officer
of the United States; an officer of
the State; an officer of a Territory;
an officer of the District of Column
bia; a duly ordained minister of
religiony a regular minister of re-
ligion; a student of divinity for
recognized denomination in recog-
nized theological seminary who was
in such a school on May Is, 1917;
one in the military naval service of
the United States; a subject of Ger
many residing in the United States
and a resident alien (not Germany
who has not taken out papers.

UNKNOWN WEED BLAMED
 FOR DEATH OF SHEEP

Chairman J. N. Ritter of the Sheep Sanitary commission has submitted report to Governor Campbell of his investigation of the loss of sheep in the northeastern part of the state. A large number of sheep died of ap- parent poisoning on the Mud Tanks Trail. It was suspected that it was the work of miscreants and there was in consequence great deal of uneas- mess among the sheepmen of that part of the state.
 Chairman Ritter writes that he had conference with F.. H. Duffield, ? sheepman of the north, and with Mr Johnson of the Johnson Walker outfi. after they had conducted an investiga- tion. In their opinion the sheep had not died of mineral poison deposited in the tank where they had been wa tered, but of eating some noxious weed which is yet to be discovered.

RAN OFF THE FERRY.

While in the act of driving on Bush's ferry last Tuesday afternoon, M. E. Dixon, of Pond, Calif., drove his Ford car into the Colorado river, and narrowly escaped from drowning. In driving on the ferry boat, Dixon lost control of the car, and there be- ing no blocking on the boat to pre- vent just such an accident, both auto and driver plunged into the river. The car was nearly completely sub merged, only a small portion of the top being out of water. Mir. Dixon fortunately extricated himself from the car and aside from getting a thorough soaking he was uninjured. After considerable effort the car was hauled out of the river and taken to the garage of the Parker Motor con- pany, where it was overhauled and soon placed in running condition The Parker Post.
