HARRY REESE TRANSFERRED

Mr.. Harry d. Reese, son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Reese, of this
county, who has been making his
home in West Virginia for several
years, where he has been connected
with the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co., has been transferred
to Clarksburg as district manager.
Mr.. Reese was formerly special
agent on the division managers
staff with headquarters at Charles
ton. The Clarksburg district is con-
sidered one Of the most important
districts in the cOmpany's territory
and the transfer of Mr.. Reese is
quite a promotion. Mr.. Reese was
formerly connected with the local
telephone company but went to
Buchannon, w. Va, eleven years
ago rs manager of telephone ex-
chage there, and his career since
has been a series of rapid promo
tions. Many friends here at his old
home will learn with pleasure of his
latest advance.

WORK AND PLAY-BOTH

With the government need of in
creased production and the practice
of sane economy on every hand, we
should not for a moment lose sight
of the fact that the human brain
and body requires a certain degree
of periodical relaxation. We must
work-work hard and for long hours
in order that we may each per-
form the duties allotted to us. But
we must have our hours of relaxa-
ton, or our Overburdened frames
will suffer and our energies will
deteriate. A wise head is needed to
devise some form of community
amusement in which all may share
healthful exercise which is more
play than work, and which will take
the mind from the more serious
problems of the day. Have you a
plan? Speak up!

THE FARMERS AND
FOOD CONTROL

An Illuminating sidelight on the
food situation is contained in some
expressions inserted in the Con-
gressional Record recently by Sen
ator Smith of Michigan. These
were from farmers organizations
and individual farmers, and they
without exception endorsed the food
control measures before Congress.
These expressions give us a pref
ty clear idea as to whence come
the present panic prices. Wa are
told with great JUNCTION that this is
the first time in our history that
the farmer has received for his
products what they were really
worth.
But let us see. What is the oh
ject of food control? Whence
comes the insistent demand? Plain
ly, the demand is the direct result
of food prices that are out of all
proportion to wages and to prices
in every other line. Is it reasonable
to believe that if the farmers were
receiving anything like the present
retail prices-minus, of course, a
reasonable per cent. of middlemen's
profts-that they would be not only
willing but anxious to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg?
The pain truth is, the farmer is
not benefited by the present high
prices of food in any degree to rec
ompense him for what he is injured
by extravaganza prices in other
lines. He is paying vastly more for
every purchase he makes, from
pillow point to tractor engine.
What he gains from his small profits
on his sales of food stuffs is more
than Offset by the enormous increa Sc
in the cost of everything that he
must buy to operate his farm. This
the farmers know, and this is why
they are, almost without exception,
heartily in favor Of government food
control-a control which will estab-
lish a minimum as well as a maxi
mum price.
The specializing food pirates will
have to hunt some other scape-goat
for their sins instead Of the farmer
and his "nterests."

VVIy ITUIV
d. o. Myatt,
Asst Attorney General

Mr.. Stephen I. Davis
Winchester, Ky.
My Dear Sir:
l have yours of the 18th asking
for my construction of Section 1850
subsection la and 20 of the Ken
lucky Statutes, with particular ref
erence to registration by women in
years when school elections are to
be held in which women are entitled
to vote.
Ny attention had heretofore been
called to these sections or sub-sec-
tions, and it is my opinion that it
was the intention of the General AS
sembly, by the passage of sub-sec-
) ton 17a, to give women the right to
SPECIALLY register in any year in
which elections are held in which
women may participate, without
reference to whether or not they
were precluded from registering at
general registration in the pro-
ceeding year, for any of the reason
set out in paragraphs l, 2, 8 or 4 of
subsection 20 of Section 1850
Kentucky Statutes.
1t will be noticed that la is an
amendment, passed in 1914, to the
original act of 1912. The Legisla-
ture evidently had in mind some
method or provision whereby women
could be specially registered in
years in which school elections
were held, probably based on the
fact that in some years no such
elections would be held, and there
be no reason for previous registra-
ton by momen. Unless this con-
struction should be placed on sub
section LA, it would be without
force or effect, because women, who
are required to register, would be
entitled to all privileges extended
and allowed by subsection 20,
whether subsection la were or
were not enacted, and it cannot be
presumed that the Legislature had
enacted a vain law.
Therefore, l think that sub-sec-
ton liza provides a class not pro-
vided for in 20, that may be spec
tally registered as provided for in
20, without regard to any of the
reason for failure to register as set
out therein. Yours truly,
Assistant Attorney General
shall therefore in conformity
with the above opinion be prepared
to register all women in Mt Ster-
ling who failed to register on the
regular registration day, the Special
Registration to be held at my Office
in the Court House on Saturday,
July 21st. Keller Greene,

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
We have your letter Of the 4th
inst. irfwhich you ask to be advised
if woman who was in Mt. Sterling
on the regular registration day and
not sick but failed to register, can
register at the approaching sup
Elemental registration. l find that
this department has passed upon
this identical question and / am en-
closing to you herewith a copy of
the opinion, in which it is held that
women may register although they
were within the city on the registra-
ton day and not physically incapac-
itated for registering on that day.
