MUST REDUCE
PRICE OF Milk
Food Administrator Serves Notice
On Dairymen at Meeting Held
Saturday.

At a meeting of the dairymen ana
those who sell milk even in small
quantities held at the office of Food
Administrator S. S. Pinney Satur-
day afternoon after a discussion of
facts and after the Food Admins
traitor had shown that the people of
Mt. Sterling were paying more for
milk than any town in the State, no.
tice was served on them that the
matter would be reported to the
Federal Government for investiga-
ton and action, if the price of milk
was not reduced by December 18th,
from Is cents per quart to 16 cents,
which is the highest price being paid
in the State anywhere and in many
places it is being sold from II to 1G
cents. We are informed that the
stores in Lexington where milk can
be bought, is being sold by the groc-
ers for Is cents, which includes
their profit. 1t certainly stands to
reason if milk can be produced and
sold for that price in Fayette coun-
ty itcan also be done in Montgom-
cry.

TOBACCO SALES
In JANU AIRY
Considerable Tobacco Ready But
Big Buyers Unable to Get Here
Until January.

Although there is considerable to-
bacco ready for the market the
warehouses in this city will not open
their sales until January LIST or the
first week in January as it is impos-
sible for several Of the big manu-
facturers to have buyers on the
market until that time. Mr.. J. Will
Clay, President of the Whitehall, of
this city, wrote to several manufac-
turers when he saw where few Of
the Lexington houses would open
shortly and the reply to these let
ters we publish below.

Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Gentlemen -
Replying to yours of the Goth,
beg to state that the j. p Taylor
Co. will not have a buyer ION the
Lexington market or any other mar
ket in the State before January LIST.
This action is not an arbitrary
one but dictated entirely by condi-
tons as the markets in North and
South Carolina were closed down
absolutely for a little more than a
month in consequence of the influ-
enza epidemic in that section being
so prevalent that. sales were adj
journed. They recently started
sales again which will make the
time for the marketing of that crop
lap over into the time at which us
ually the markets throughout the
Burley Belt open, and it would not
be physically possible for our COM
pany to bring buyers back to Ken
lucky from the Eastern markets be-
fore the time mentioned.
1t would not only mean bringing
back buyers but also book keepers,
factory men and our entire force.
The R. ]. Reynolds Co. and the
American Tobacco Co. are both in
exactly the same position and it will
not be physically possible for them
to bring their organization to Ken
lucky before the time mentioned,
notwithstanding any articles that
have appeared in the newspapers
apparently to the contrary.
We feel that it will be very
grave mistake on the part of the
warehouse men to open their mar
kets without a full corps of buyers
and full competition.
Yours truly,

exciting days ahead. I had about two
weeks of this when finally the word
came for the move toward the
trenches. For week I was on the

Six bombs, and l judge by the sound
that they were very healthy by the
ones which exploded all around us,
but fortunately all escaped unscathed.
Most every night this performance
was repeated. The Boche, however,
was strong on variety, so when his
fiiers got tired of banging away his
artillery went to work. But as there
must be an ending to all things, on

Try Making Your Oaufa
Cough Remedy
You can save about SO, and have
n better remedy than the ready
made kind. Easily done.

If you combined the curative proper
ties of every known "ready-made" cough
remedy, you probably could not get as
much real curative power as there is IN
this simple homemade cough syrup,
which is easily prepared in few min
utes
Get from any druggist 215 ounces of
pinex, pour it into a pint bottle and
fill the bottle with syrup, using either
plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as
desired. The result is full pint of
really better cough syrup than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the money. Tastes pleasant and never
spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets
right at the cause of cough and giv-s
almost immediate relief. 1t loosens the
phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle
and heals the sore, irritated membranes
so gently and easily that it is really
astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, whooping cough and bronchial
asthma, there is nothing better.
Pinex is most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for generations
to break up severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment. ask your
druggist for '21@ ounces of Pinex" with
full directions, and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts
IactlQn or money promptly refunded.
