distemper the commonest disease.
Their condition is SO, against 95 for
the ten-year average. Death rate
from disease, Is per 1000, against IS
for the ten-year average.
Cattle are somewhat thin in many
localities, but are healthy. The losses
were due mainly to black leg and corn
stalk poisoning, with few losses oc-
curing from exposure and lack of
feed during the coolest portion Of the
winter. Condition of cattle is OF,
compared to 95 for the ten-year av-
erage. Death rate of cattle from di-
sease, Is per 1000, against II for the
ten-year average.
Death per 100 among sheep in Mis-
souri, were 20 from disease in 1917,
against 26 for the ten-year average;
and from exposure, 10 against Ia.
Among lambs in Missouri this spring
the death rate per thousand is AZ,
against So for a seven-year average.
The severe weather of January and
February caused heavier losses of
lambs than usual in the southern
counties. The condition of sheep is
SO, against 81 for the ten-year aver
age.
Hogs are healthier than for years.
Their condition is 81, against 81 in
1917, and 80 for the ten-year average.
The death rate during the past year
has been AZ head per 1000; of this, "a
are from cholera, and but 18 from all
other diseases combined. Some losses
of young pigs occurred during the
winter from cold and exposure. The
loss per 1000 in 1916 was So, and SO
for the ten-year average. The CO.
operative work of the State Board of
Agriculture and College of Agricul-
ture and the U. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry has thus cut down the loss
to one-half of the ten-year average,
or 100000 head, saving at present
values of $4,O00,000.
March was mild, and the farmers
have taken full advantage of good
weather to forge ahead with spring
work. Sowing of oats was practically
completed throughout the State be-
fore the first of April, as the crop was
SO per cent seeded with only small
acreage in the northern counties re-
naming TO De sown. Breaking mea-
dow and pasture sod was done with
some difficulty, owing to dry weather.
The soil is in fine filth; the top has
sufficient moisture for immediate
needs, but the sub-soil is very dry.
In spite of the noise made by few
vociferous kickers, the great body of
Missouri farmers are going ahead with
splendid spirit to plant their fields,
and will cheerfully go the limit to
follow the burrows and feed the fight
ers.

The cloudy, rainy weather of the
past week, together with the drastic
fall in the temperature, has put an
end to gardening operations for the
time being. The exceedingly chilly
nights have brought frost also en- more
than one night during the past week,
and has doubtless killed much of the
fruit, which was generally in the bud
ding stage. 1t is exceedingly doubt
full whether or not any fruit has es-
capped. ~ /

The campaign in the interest of

a vigorous boost at the court house
tomorrow, Saturday afternoon, at
two o'clock, when Hon. E. M. Dick
son, of Paris, will deliver an ad-
dress. h-
No collection will be taken at this
meeting, which will be held purely
for the purpose of furnishing the
people with timely and useful infor
nation in regard to the campaign.
which is to be waged all over the
United States. Bourbon county's al
lotment has been placed at $780,
900, and to raise this amount will
require some lively work and some
lively purchasing on the part Of the
people of the city and county.
Mr.. Dickson is an able and elo-
quent speaker, and his explanation
of the Thrift Stamp campaign will
gain in the telling. Every one who
can possibly attend should be at the
court house and hear this speech.

PARIS CAN GET STATE AID FOR
MAIN STREET.

That the city of Paris can benefit
Main street its entire length in the
city by securing State aid on the
proportionate cost basis, was the
statement made to the City Council
at its recent meeting by Councilman
]. ]. Veatch.
Mr.. Veatch based his remarks on a
conversation he had recently with
Mayor Pulliam, of Harrodsburg, in
which the latter stated that Harrods-
burg had appealed for and had Sc
cured a portion of the State aid
fund, which was, supplemented by
an equal amount appropriated by
the city, giving the city assurance
of securing a good street. He stated
that Paris could share in the benz
fits Of this fund if the proper means
were taken to secure it by making
an appropriation from the city funds
equal in amount to that to be Sc
cured from the State fund. Main
street in Paris being a part of a
State or county road was entitled
to the State road aid benefit, and
though the question of ownership
between city and county has always
been mooted point, the city had
been compelled to take care of it,
With this fund Main street could be
resurfaced from one end of the city
limits to the other, and put in the
best possible condition, especially in
the vicinity of the tobacco ware
houses, where heavy hauling keeps
the street surface constantly rutted.
This is a matter of vital impor-
lance to the city, and it is to be
hoped some definite action will arise
from the most excellent suggestion Of
an excellent Councilman.

PULL FOR THE THIRD LIBERTY
LOAN.

\ We oversubscribed two Liberty
Loans and fooled the Kaiser on them
both, in spite of all he and his
agent did to queer us.

for number three. 1t means save
your money deliberately and especial
ly for the purpose-save nOw-keep
on saving, and when the time comes
to subscribe, put your name down

Liberty Bonds is money at interest,
increasing your income, your finan-
cial stability, your safety and your
honor.

income and excess profits returns
from March 1 to April l was an
nounced by Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper. This ruling ap-
plies also to reports on payments of
more than $500 during the year to
be made by employers and business
enterprises and covers both above
and below $4,000, and corporation
incomes.
Delay in the preparation of blank
form and regulations was the prin-
cipal cause for the postponement.
Forms have not yet been issued
| for excess profits returns of three
classes individuals, partnership and
corporation; for income returns by
trustees or fiduciaries; and for part
| nership income returns. These ara
now promised for this week. All
other forms for individual incomes

including those of above and below
$4,000, corporation incomes, and re-
ports on payments Of more than $500
or the so called "information-at-the
source"
The extension of time to April 1,
doing business on fiscal year ba-
sis, applies to returns by corpora
tions. Originally they were required
to report within sixty days after the
! end of their fiscal year; this was ex
tended to February /, and later to
March LIST.

HAVE ENJOYABLE
TIME AT BANQUET.

The dining room of the Windsor
Hotel was the scene Tuesday night
of an enjoyable meeting, when the
members of the Bourbon County
Business Mems Protective Associa-
ton and a large number of invited
guests assembled to take part in a
Smoker" and banquet. us
About thirty members of the AS
ISOLATION and nearly as many invit-
ed guests from the city and county
and from points outside the city
were present, and took part in the
proceedings. After greetings and in
Productions in the Office of the hotel,
the guests were escorted to the ban
quet room, where the following menu
was served:
Roast turkey, French peas, mash
Led potatoes, hot rolls, beaten bis
cult, tropical fruit salad, hearts of
celery, ice cream, cakes, coffee,
cigars.
During the progress of the ban
quet and following it when the
smokers were passed around, a
number of interesting addresses per-
tanning to the affairs of the Associ
alton and business in Paris and
Bourbon county in general, were
made by local speakers, and by sew
eral of the guests from other places
All were in thorough keeping with
the spirit of the times, advocating
broader business, views and urging
the adoption of business principles OF
interest to the mercantile business in
all lines.
From the haze of cigar smoke
which ensued when chairs were
drawn back from the banquet table
at the conclusion of the feast it was
quite evident the smoker" was not
the least enjoyable feature of tbs
occasion. 1t also gave opportunity
for a closeup exchange of views on
business matters and feeling Oi
comradeship and mutual interest.

A DRY STATE BROUGHT ANOTH-
Err STEP NEARER.

One step nearer a dry >Kentucky
was taken in the House, Tuesday,
when that body voted IA to 9 70
pass Senate Bill No. 81, the anti
shipping bill, after amending it so
that it will not apply to the bringing
into dry county on the person or in
personal baggage of the ''bringer" of
liquor for his own personal use.
The amendment, which was offered
by Rev. George c. Waggoner, was
stated by him to be safety first"
idea, to get the bill, if enacted into
law, safely past the severe test of the
Court of Appeals. The bill was
amended further to make it proof
against possible evasion by bootleg
gers, and only the Democratic Sena'
tors from wet cities voted against it.
Representatives Dycus and Wag-
goner explained their amendments,
Mr.. Waggoner saying that the STATE
courts had held that laws forbidden
the bringing in of liquors for per-
sonal use were unconstitutional, and
it was the desire of promoters of the
bill to have it pass the acid test OF
the courts.
Representative Claude M. Thomas
of Bourbon, pointed to rulings of the
Court of Appeals in similar cases and
said the bill as. it passed the Senate
was mot worth the paper it was
printed on" Asked by Representa-
tive Lasley, of Logan county, if the
court had rendered any decision OF
the kind since the upholding of the
Webb-Cannion act by the Supreme
Court, Mr.. Thomas replied that de-
cisions related to interstate ship
ments, while the bill under consider
alton affected only interstate ship
ments. Mr.. Thomas read and com
mented on decisions of the Court .!
Appeals relating to such shipments.
