Help Get The Spies!

This country has long been honey
combed with German spies. Every
day or two some person who passed
as a business or professional man,
and who has been well regarded, is
caught with the goods and ar
rested. Every State, every city
and every town harbors these agents
or allies of the enemy who are mas
querading as peaceable citizens.
Our easy-going, think-no-evil way
makes smooth sailing for pirate
craft, right into the councils of
State and city, and even into our
own homes.
No country had ever so well or
gained and numeros a spy system
as Germany has maintained right
here in the United States under Que
very eyes. The constantly recur-
ring incendiary fires, the ingenious
lies of endless variety, are both part
of the same underground system.
The Chicago Herald has printed,
run down, and exploded more than
one hundred of these adroit false
hoods which would pass muster with
most auditors.
Here is where we can all be alert
to spot and stop this propaganda.
The next one you hear run it down
to its source. You will not get
far before you reach someone who
can't remember who told it. Any
body who is full of information ia
vorable to Germany and unfavora-
BILE to our cause, and who can't re-
member where and from whom he
acquired this news, will bear
watching. Here is an opportunity
for boys and girls, as we'll as grown
ups, to run down, and explode this
work of the propagandists.
Kentucky is full of this sort, and
we need not shut our eyes to that
fact, either. They are just as likely
to be in Paris as any other place,
and in common with the rest of the
country we must be on the watch.

ECONOMY NEEDED FOR DURA
TON OF WAR.

A campaign to impress the neces-
sity of wartime economy upon the
people is urged on the banks of the
United States in a New Years mes
sage sent out by the Federal Re-
serve Board.
The banks, charged with the duty
of promoting thrift in their commu-
mites, are asked to tell the people
that by economy they serve their
country not only in enabling the
government and the allies to obtain
supplies, but also increase savin -;
which can absorb future war loan; 5.

while on an auto trip uu Mount
Badly recently. Bennett and his
party sighted a machine coming up
the grade. The emergency brake
was thrown on, but failed to work,
and it looked like a head-on collis-

yon yawning hundreds of feet be-
low. With rare presence of mind,
the driver of the Bennett car sent
his machine into the the side of the
mountain and the passengers escap-
ed with minor injuries.

SOME THINGS THE FOOD LAW

Reviewing the ten years in which
the Federal Food and Drugs Act has
been in operation, the annual report
of the Bureau Of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
says, the law has done much to safe
guard milk imported from Canada Or
shipped in interstate commerce.; to
control the trffic in polluted oysters
and practically to stop the traffic in
decomposed canned fish; to lessen
the shipment of decomposed canned
beans and shell eggs; and to de-
crease the manufacture of foods
from refuse materials, correspond
ingly improving the sanitary condi-
tions in food factories.
Ten. years ago, the report says,
much of the baking powder and gel
attn and some of the confectionery
was contaminated with small guam
titles of lead or arsenic. This is
not the case to-day.
The coloring of canned peas with
copper and the use of a number Of
dangerous preservatives~ have been
suppressed The act also has made
it possible to control number of
ether practices more or less danger
Gus to health.

ON
EXPECTATION Of
COTTON REMOVED

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-AIl re-
strictions on the shipment of cotton
from the United States except to en-
European neutrals have been re-
moved. Sen. Hoke Smith OF Georgia
said wednesday, after a conference
with the officials OF the war trade
board. Cotton is expected to flow
more freely to countries contiguous
10 Germany when that nation has
complied with all the terms Of the
armistice. the senator said.
Cotton in increased quantities al
ready is moving 10 the allied coun-
tries. Because OF the fact that
midas cotton crop this year was
sufficient only for that country's
need. Sen. Smith said, Japan has
been very anxious to get cotton from
the United States. Japan's needs
are estimated at 100000 bales.
Stocks Of cotton in the south now
are said to exceed 100000 bales and
it was because OF this fact that
southern senator's and representa-
tives at a recent conference decided
10 ask the war trade board and
other government agencies to mod
ify the restrictions on exports. The
matter was also brought to the at
tention OF the president.
Senators say that countries desir-
ing 10 import American cotton have
indicated a readiness to supply the
tonnage necessary for its movement
overseas and now that restrictions
as TO shipments TO most countries
have been removed, they expect the
movement to increase rapidly.
