NEW DAILY MAKES
FAVORABLE IMPRESSION

The first issue of the Winchester
Daily Democrat, under the editorial
and business guidance Of Mr.. Charles
B. Nelson, made it's initial bow to the
reading public of Winchester and vi
cinity Monday. The paper is most
excellently gotten up, and is full of
good things from first to last.
The reoortorial work is ir charge of
Mr. George NJ. Kiser, formerly Of THE
BOURBON NEWS, and lately connect
ed with the Winchester Sun, assisted
by a corps of competent newspaper
people. Regular contributors to the
new publication in the future will be
Mrs. Dollie l.. Nelson, Misses Mary
Amis, Beula Thompson. Catherine
Nenar and Mrs. H. r. COOK.
The new daily gives every indica-
! ton of being success from the very
first edition. Winchester, always a
hustling city, can we'll afford to sup
port two good daily papers. The
growing importance of the city with
reference to its close proximity to
the new Gil and mineral fields, will
furnish the enterprising newsmen of
that city plenty of material.
The Democrat pays the following
handsome compliment TO Mr.. George
NJ. Kiser, who will normally fill the
position of news and city editor of
the new publication:
George M. Kiser, who until re-
torial staff of the Winchester Sun,
having rendered his resignation with
that paper on April 1, has accepted a
position with the Winchester Daily
Democrat, assuming his duties with
this issue of the paper.
"Mr. Kiser has had many years OF
experience in newspaper work. He
knows news and how to write it, and
he has won the confidence and friend
ship of the people by his fair dealing
his accuracy in reporting the news
and his gentlemanly and courteous
manners.
"He has just declined flattering
offers from the McAllis;er, Okla.
News-C Capital and from Shelton M
Saufey, who proposes to start daily
paper in Richmond.
"Kiser is gifted with a ilmitless en-
ergy. When he gets on the track Of
an item, he never lays down until
he gets the whole dope, and gets il
right and in detail. He writes the
news for it's news value, and never per
mits his nerSOnal feelings TO affec
the news columns of the paper he
represents. Even if he did, it would
be no injury, for everybody likes Geo
Kiser and George likes everybody.
1.-The Daily Democrat is fortunate
in securing the services of Mr.. Kiser
who is one of the best writer's anC
Iewsgathers in the State.

FORMER SENATOR CAMDEN
TO RAISE BIG FOOD CROPS

VERSAILLES, KY, Anril 26.-For
mer United States Senator ]. n. Cant
den is going to do his full part in the
growing of food this year at Spring
Hill Farm. He is putting in twenty'
five acres of potatoes and an acre OF
onion sets, and is planting seed bed
to obtain plants to set two acres oil
winter cabbage. He expects to plant
at least ten acres of navy beans and
robably some buckwheat. He VIII also
grow a large crop Of corn.
Corn is a vital crop. said Senator
Camden, land with a fair yield Will
bring $50 to 500 per acre, perhaps
!p.uch more. Cabbage, raised in Texas
for shipment, yields ten tons to the
acre and has been selling at S12O per
ton or $1,000 per acre. Onion sets,
with a good season, will make 100
bushels to the acre and are now sell
ing at 81 per bushel, Of S1,4OO per
acre. Kale is selling at 80 cents per
pound. | am told of farmer who GU;
$1,000 worth of kale from five acres
The seed cost him acout SIS. Under
favorable conditions turnips will yield
500 bushels per acre and they usually
sell as high as potatoes.
81 have been told that Lexington
firms are engaging the coming sea,
sons yield of potatoes at 81 per bushel
With intelligent cultivation and good
land 400 bushels Of potatoes can be
raised to the acre-$S00 per acre. II
will be seen that the pecuniary re
wards of such crops as these will be
great. But that is not the most i'm
portant part of it. The farmer who
can consider the present situation oil
the world in regard to food and not
strain every nerve to do his utmost tc
remedy it, must be lost both to all feel
ings of patriotism and of humanity
The call which comes to the farmer
low should appeal to him as being
noble, as inspiring and as imperative
at TO the call to arms. l hope that all
who SOW and reap this year may do
it in such spirit"

Home FROM navy
REYNOLDS AND WEIGH HERE ON
FURLOUGH-YEOMEN IN
NAVY In NEW YORK.

Anton J. WEIGH and C. Bert Rey-
nolds, yeomen, U. S. navy, stationed
in the receiving ship in the navy
yards of New York, came home yes
terday on a furlough extending up
to January o. They expect to leave
on December Goth for their return.
The boys say they enjoy the life.
They appear to, too. All the fellows
who have returned on leaves from
training camps and naval stations
have the story book descriptions OF
bright eyes, clear skin and flashing
teeth" backed up an alley. There
seems to be no ca~rnouflage in their
assertions that they like the life and
enjoy it every minute. Never before
in the worlds history have govern
ments given the care to Its men that
they are giving them now, from pro-
|viding food to the care of their fin
ger nails. They are given the care

the champion egg-laying hen of the
nation.
These men are in the yeoman serv-
ice. That is, their work is of clerical
character, and they happen to be two
of six in the office of the commander
of the vessel. In a letter addressed
to The Daily Leader is shown the
rightly of the forms for letters used
by them.
The ship they are on is used to
transfer troops from the navy yards
to the ocean going vessels, and to e
ceive and transfer prisoners. Except
for the brief excursions, the men
have not been on the blue water, and
then in a small boat, and they suf-
fered greatly from seasickness. They
have applications in, and expect soon
to be transferred from their present
station to a SIMILAR one at London,
They do not know when they go, and
wouldn't tell if they did.
They visited Camp Mills and the
men of our old Company f.. The
men of the company were all well,
and happy except that the camp was
not developed to give comfort Or a
great degree of sanitation. They
have since been transferred to the
Jersey side, where they have steam
heated barracks and the advantages
of sanitary sewer. They sent mes
sages of regard and remembrance to
their friends in Madison. They are
training, but have no motor trucks
to operate, nor any with which to
train. This equipment will not be
given them until they reach the other
side, when it is probable that their
instruction will be combined with a
practical service in transporting ma
~terials.
Welch and Reynolds were among
the first to enlist in the navy from
Madison. They went to Omaha and
were examined, and sem at once to
the Great Lakes training station
Their stay there was brief, and after
80 days they were sent to Newport
r. l., with the intention of putting
them into immediate service. But
instead they were held in quarantine
in very restricted territory for more
than a month before they were re-
leased. They were then sent to an,
other station and finally to the re.
ceiving ship at the navy yards at New
York, where they now are. 1t Ii
