and Aust fiansl at Petfo grad d Z He said
the Bolsheviki were intending to
send home all who did not wish, to
fight, so that they would have an
army which was willing to fight for
an ideal.
The correspondent asked what
would be the attitude OF the Bolshe-
wiki in case of actual war, with re-
gard to help from the allies, M. Ra-
dek replied:
eve do not desire their help. Our
strength lies in our weakness, and If
we accepted help from the allies the
significance Of our position would be
destroyed. The weaker we are the
stronger we are. The Germans can
drive us back, but what good would
it do them?
The country behind the front has
been stripped bare. There Is not
enough there to feed a single horse.
The Germans will not wish millions
Of starving persons on their hands.
"We. stand for democratic peace.
So do the German working CLASSES.
If the German government attacks
us 1t will display itself to it's own peo-
pie in It's true light.

CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

1 C. S. Baxter informs us that he
has sold half interest in the Demo
crat to D. MUIR. The latter gen.
tleman came to Goodwill a few weeks
ago and leased the News at that
place, since which time he has made
a marked improvement in the APP
pearanct of that paper. He comes
from Louisville, KY, and claims to
have been connected with the Louis
vile Journal for a number of years.
Mr.. Baxter is glad Of the opportunity
to lift some Of the burdens from his
shoulders, for the work of getting out
a real newspaper is no small mans
job. The Herald extends a welcome
to the new firm and trusts they will
be able to make more of a success Of
in the newspaper field than they have
done.-Guymon Herald.

fact that we hear of slackers every
day. There never was, in any other
war, so many of the nations biggest
and brainest men donating their time
and talents and funds to the govern
ment-putting their personality into
the struggle and making it their indi-
vidual task. True, some are profit
eering, but the human hog is always
with us. Some are holding out on
their obedience to government men
date, but thert are always pull-backs.
We are going good at the end of this
year and we know that we are going
better during the year that is just
opening. We are going to eat up this
third liberty loan and not half try,
and lot Of fellows who have laid off
up to now are going to get under their
share of the load. There. will be criti-
cism and personal chickering's over
trifles and all that, but in the main we
are living pretty well up to our ideals
and making good Roadway. We must
keep the men over there supplied with
food and clothes and ammunition, and
some day we will celebrate the vic

JuNcrA JUvANAT
(By F. S. Sullivan in the Meade
County News.)

The outlook wasn't brilliant for
the allied troops that day, their forces
were outnumbered by the outlaw
Huns in grey. And when the English
backward reeled and the French de-
tense was lame it really seemed as
though we were outclassed in the
game. A struggling few lost hope
and sank in deep despair; the rest
chung to that hope which springs
eternal in the human breast; we
thought if only our own boys could
get into the fight the score would be
qnite different when the game was
closed at night. But Haig was not
yet hopeless; and there was Ferdie
Foch; the former was lulu and the
latter death on -Boche. And so the
waiting multitude hung on with
nerves we'll drawn and hoped the tide
of battle would change at the early
dawn. Then Haig made some adj
vances which we hailed with glad ac-
claim, and Foch, the doughty French
man once more got in the game. And

This has been one of tht most mo-

this young, but powerful nation has
just begun to fight. We have good
start, whatever may be the opinion

Whether we have made all the pro-

we do know, that meyer in any SINH

our pulse in quickened and we are
hopeful quite, for we know that our
own Sammies have at last got in the
fight. And when the battles over
and the Huns count up their slain
they'll think ten million Sammies
must have been in the game.

and we saw the slaughtered Hun we
felt as though the fight had just about

J. M. McCaslin, L. E. Waddell,

On motion by Esq. Davidson,
second by Esq. Brazel, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted;
viz:
That in the event a majority
OF the voters of Crittenden Coun-
ty. KY, vote in favor of the tax
levy of Is cents on each $4,000
worth of property. for the i'm
provement Of the roads of the
county.
That it is the sense of this
court that the money collected
from each Magisterial District,
should be applied to and expend.
ed on the various roads of the
Magisterial District from which
said money is collected; and that
same be distributed as may be
needed on all the roads of said
district, and not all on the main
roads of said district. In this
way it will enable 6s to keep up
and maintain roads that have for
years been neglected.
1t is further the sense of this
court that none of this fund
shall be used for the purpose Of
obtaining state aid, but for the
purpose of assisting in maintain.
ing all of the roads in each mag.
