ENGLAND'S KING WINS
DOUGHBOY HEARTS

Remember, boys, IL there is any
thing we can do for you at any time,
we want to know 1t, and will take
real pleasure in doing it,"
King George walked straight into
the affections of 1000 wounded and
convalescent American soldiers at the
big military hospital at hartford
with this CHEEKY message. In the
course of his inspection of American
Red Cross activities at the hospital.
King George talked with men from
all parts of the United States, not
confining himself to a mere greeting,
but pausing in a great many instances
to hold lengthy conversations with
them. He congratulated them on the
wonderful work Americans are do
ing over here" And by unanimous
vote they agreed he was a regular
fellow"

family entered the grounds II was

CANCELLATION OF
ALLIED DEBTS.

Possibly the aphorism of least
said. soonest mended" should always
be taken as the truly best as well as
the safest rule. But it may be well,
after all, to speak frankly in depreca-
tion of such suggestion as was made
by former Attorney General Wicker
sham at Y. NJ. c. A. meeting on Sun
day. He said he would like to see
this country cancel the debts owed
the United States by the allied coun-
tries.-New York Sun.
Better not cancel the debts, for
when the war closes the United States
may need the money, if the Free
Traders refuse to raise any revenue
from higher import duties. The
limit has about been reached in the

GREAT MID WINTER FARM FESTIVAL
The Best Farmers From All Parts of kentucky Assemble
Lexington, january28

The most successful and progressive
men in all lines of business have their
associations or other organizations
which meet periodically to discuss
topics related To their common wei
fare. Farmers are no exception TO
this rule for they have learned that IL
Is Ia their advantage to have local,
county. state and national organiza-
lions which have accomplished many
things looking TO the betterment of all.
In Kentucky, the leading farmers
and breeders have more or less natur-
ally fallen into groups, according to
the special line of farming in which
they are most Interested.
Among these organizations the fol
towing stand out prominently: Ken.
lucky Corn Growers Association, Ken
lucky Sheep Breeders Association,
State Horticultural Society, Kentucky
Alfalfa Growers Association, Ken
lucky Dairy Cattle Club, Horse, Jack
and Mule Breeders Association, Ken
lucky Poultry Growers Association
and the Kentucky Beekeepers Asso-
station.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-11-22

The various organizations cooperate
with each other. holding their annual
conventions at the same place and all
during the same week. This general
meeting Of the Kentucky farmers and
breeders takes place every winter ut
the Agricultural College of the Uni
versity of Kentucky and Is attended
not only by the membership of the as
sOciatlons themselves, bur also by near
ly all of the best farmers in the State.
Many OF these organizations, such as
the corn growers, dairymen, etc, have
competitive shows of their products.
This great mid-winter farm festival
has been set to meet on January 2S,
20, 30 and 3lst, at Lexington, and in
spite of the war conditions promises
to be the largest gathering since this
movement began eight years ago, as
farmers have long since learned that
they can scarcely afford to miss it,
Each farmers organization will have
Its own program and the professors of
the Agricultural College will assist
with lectures and demonstrations. 1

HISTORIC MOMENT
ON BATTLE LINE

Paris, Nov. 11.-When dawn came
this morning there was no hint of
the cessation of hostilities. East of
the Meuse, regardless OF the situa-
ton, the American Second Army at
tackled in force at 8 o'clock. The
onslaught was preceded by tremen-
dous barrage, which was returned
in kind by the enemy. For three
hours the Americans swept forward,
hurting themselves against the wire
entanglements.
The German gunfire was devastat-
ing. Then, at exactly one minute of
eleven, like a final thunder crash at
the clearing of a storm, the guns on
both sides abruptly ceased.
The silence was more startling than
the deafening roar of the barrage.
For brief minute intermittent rifle
fire followed; then came a pause,
punctuated by ripping cheers from
the trenches on both sides of the
line.
What followed on one sector was
perhaps one of the most singular
events of the war. Against the sky
line figures we're suddenly silhouet-
ted. They appeared cautiously at
first. but soon, growing holder all
along they stood upright. These
were Germans.
Join Yanks i'm Cheers.
The Americans were not cautious.
AS the barrage died, ending in final
husky rumble in the distance from
the big guns, runners went springing
along the fireline. Instantly compre-
hending, the whole line of doughboys
leaped from trenches, fox holes and
shell craters. splitting the unaccus-
toned silence with a shrill cheer. The
roar of voices was like an outburst
at some great college contest in
America, when a contestant scores a
classic play.
Strange to relate, the defeated
enemy joined vociferously in the
cheering. The world war was finish
ed.
At one minute before IL o'clock it
would have meant death to show
ones self above shelter. Not more
than a minute after the hour the
rolling plain was alive with cheering,
n. G-sA
alike. Not many minutes later Ger
mans and Americans were coming
along the narrow stretch of ground,
so fiercely fought over, some shyly
and awkwardly, like embarrassed
schoolboys.
