SOLONS TO VISIT
WAR FRONTS IN EUROPE

Washington. Oct. 16.-Ten mem
bers of Congress, travelling in unoffi-
cial capacity but carrying special
passports arranged for by the State
Department. are on the way to Eu-
rope to visit the war fronts and fra
ternize with the parliamentary rep
resentatives OF the Allies. In the
party are Representatives Dale, Yer
mont; Taylor and Undertake. Colo
RADIO; Hicks, New York; Johnson,
Dill and Miller. Of Washington; Good
win. Arkansas; stephens, Nebraska,
and Parker, New Jersey; former
Representative Stout, of Montana,
and Ross l.. Hammond. Fremont,
Neb., editor, and others.
This visit is a development of the
recent cabled and personal invita-
tions of representative members of
the British and French Parliaments
for closer affiliation OF the parlia-
mentary bodies of the Allied govern
ments thru personal conferences at
the British, French and Italian CAPT
tails. President Wilson did not fa-
vor Congress officially accepting the
invitation at this time, and neither
house took action, but the ten mem
hers arranged their trip informally.
Other representatives are expected

4 NEW GRAIN
SUBSTITUTE For WHEAT

County Farm Agent Browder
brought to this Office Monday few
heads of a new cereal which eventu-
ally may play an important part in
furnishing the worlds bread supply.
1t is called Egyptian wheat, and
grows in a head very much resemb-
ling sugar cane. The grains are q
little larger than the sorghum seed,
of a rich creamy white color, and
has ioury taste nearly like wheat
The heads are threshed in wheat
thresher, and the -four when ground,
makes excellent cakes. 1t is also
used for mixing with wheat -four for
general baking. Mr.. Browder secur-
ed the sample shown us from Mr.. j.
ID. Powers, a farmer living near Act
naville, who secured the seed orig
inally from Texas. where ii is ex-
tensively grown for the purposes
mentioned. Mr.. Powers planted the
seed too late to mature this season,
but enough of the heads ripened with
which to plant a fair sized crop OF it
next season.

EXEMPTION RULES
WILL BE CLARIFIED

Much confusion has resulted from
the construction put by different
county and district boards, upon the
rules, issued at Washington, to gov
ern their actions in the matter of
granting exemptions to men drafted
for war service. A number of
boards, county and district, including
the Ohio county board, have eXcus-
ed all married men. while other
boards, as the district board at Mad
isonville, have reported many mar
ried men for draft service. 1t APP
pears now that the authorities at
Washington will soon undertake TO
clear up the confusion, and bring
about some uniform rule for exemp-
tions. When this is done it is high
ly probable that many men already
in the environments will be return
ed to their dependent families.

JUDGE SLACK AFFIRMED IN
COURT OF APPEALS DECISION

Frankfort. KY, Oct. 16.-The
Court of Appeals to-day decided that
X. S. Rose, of Williamsburg, who
won by a majority of fourteen on the
face OF the returns, is the Republican
nominee for Circuit Judge in the
Thirty-fourth district, affirming the
judgment of the Whitley Circuit
Court in the contest suit by w. r.
Lay VS.. X. S. Rose, of Bar
bouryille. The case was heard
yesterday and considered by Chief
Justice Settle and Judges Car
roll, Hurt, Thomas and Clarke. Judge
Hurt dissented. AS the case had to
be disposed OF to-day so that mandate
could issue and the Secretary of State
could certify the name tomorrow to
go on the ballots in Whitley and
Knox counties, the court did not
have time to write an opinion.
The case cited above is one Judge
Slack was called to Williamsburg to
hear in the Whitley Circuit Court,
where he decided in favor OF Rose.

The great majority of Americans

the Kaiser uttered when he told AM

A CARD.

Having received nearly thousand
votes in my race before the late Re-
publican primary for the nomination
for Sheriff I feel like / have some
friends in Ohio county, and to these
friends especially l want to appeal
for their most loyal and enthusiastic
support of my successful opponent and
for the entire Republican ticket.
My ideal of a true Republican is
one who is as faithful in the hour Of
defeat as in the hour of victory, and
the highest service the men who sup
ported me in my race can do for me
is to join me in a sincere and earnest
effort to give the entire Republican
ticket this year the largest MAORI
ty in the party's history. Every
man on the Republican ticket is well
qualified for the position he seeks
and highly deserving the honor of
election, and let us all join hands
for a victory for the entire ticket
with a majority near the thousand
mark.
Yours for success,
G. A. RALPH.
