STANLEY LOOKS LIKE winner
THE TELEPHONE SERVICE

We are not prone to criticize but
the telephone service that we have
had to contend with for some time
past and have had to pay good
money for, forces US to deviate from
our general rule. We believe that the
franchise granted the telephone peo-
pie should be looked into and unless
better service is rendered their pat
rons that some action be taken by
the City Council. Speaking from our
experience our telephones have been
more Of nuisance than a conven-
fence for some time. We realize that
labor conditions and the matter of
getting supplies is a hard one but
we are entitled to at least halfway
service for our money.

ONE DELIVERY PLAN ADOPTED

As will be seen by the advertise
ment appearing in this issue the meat
and grocery stores have adopted the
plan of the Council of National De-
Tense for the delivery of merchan-
disc. Mr.. E. ]. Straus, a prominent
merchant of Louisville, who is giving
all his time to war work in behalf of
the Council of National Defense was
in this city last Wednesday and at
meeting at the Court House organ
lied the merchants in the government
plan. Mr.. Straus explained that
drastic measures would be employed
against those who signed the agree
ment and then violated same and he
also announced that action would be
taken against any patrons of the
stores who showed undue objection
to this government conservation
plan. We urge our readers to care
fully read the delivery system and
to cooperate with the merchants as
much as they possibly can in this
movement.

NEGRO SUSPECTED OF MURDER

Last Thursday a negro woman
named Pearl Allen died at her home
near Aaron's Run, this county. She
had always been big, strong woman
and the neighbors became suspi-
cious and reported the matter to the
authorities, who invested and learn
ed that a week previously the wo-
man and her husband John Allen had
a fight, in which she received sew
eral bodily injuries, which may have
contributed towards her death. In
order that the matter may be fully
investigated, warrant was issued
for Allen and he is now in Jail. All
the witnesses including her physi-
clan, will be Intercepted Wednesday
before the grand jury, if Circuit
Court is held this term, otherwise be-
fore County Judge E. W. Senff, sit
tings as an examining court.

DOING MORE THAN HER BIT

We doubt if there is a person in
this county that has equalled the
record made by Mrs. Carrie ARA
smith in knitting for the Red Cross.
Mrs. Arrasmith is now knitting on
her 10th article. She has knit fifty
five pair of socks, besides sweaters
and helmets in addition to making
other articles for enlisted men from
this county.
This good woman is seventy-four
years of age and the example she
has set the younger women Of our
community should spur them on the
greater efforts.

Big DRAFT FOR
This MONTH
None of the Kentucky Men Will Be
Sent to Camp Zachary Taylor
For Military Training

Draft calls for the mobilization of
290,773 additional men at army
training camps before November 81
has been announced by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder. Between No
vember IL and Is, it was announced,
253, 1886 white men physically quail
fed for general military service will
entrain, making the largest single
call issued under the selective serv-
ice act.
The remainder of the November
total so far as announced, will be
made up of negroes, for entrainment
November 10 to 81.
With the assembling of the men
provided in these calls at camp, the
total number of men indicted into
military service under the draft will
have passed the 100000 mark, and
the number of men in the United
States army, in the field or in train
ing will total more than 4,000.000.
Men who registered September II
under the act extending draft age
limits will make up the largest pro-
portion of the November moboliza-
ton, as the eligible list remaining
from previous registrations largely
was exhausted by the October calls.
Though the October calls were sus-
pended because of the influenza cpl
demic, nearly all have been reissued
during the last three weeks. In states
where the calls have not been re-is-
sued, men called for camp in October
will leave with the men called for this
month. Calls for additional men to
entrain later this month are in prep
aration, it was said recently at the
office of the Provost Marshal Gen
eral.
Kentucky will be required to fur
nish S,125 men and they will be sent
to Camp Greenleaf and Camp Beau
regard, La, for training. As yet the
local board has not received Mont
gomery County's quota.

The election in Montgomery coun-
ty passed off very quietly and no
trouble Of any kind being reported
and seemingly little interest being
taken as evidenced by the light vote
polled. Incomplete returns from the
State indicate the election of Gov
ernor Stanley to the United States
Senate but at the time of our going
to press the Republicans had not
conceded his election and claim that
when the total count is in Bruner
will be found to be the winner. Con-
gresham w. ]. Fields, from this dis
trict is an easy winner over Snedegar
by about 1900 with two Democratic
counties yet to be heard from. STAN
ley made a splendid gain in this dis
trict over his vote in his race against
Morrow three years ago.
In Ohio Democrats and Repubi-
cans are claiming to be the victors
but no figures on the wet and dry
fight could be obtained. The Repub-
hcans have won sweeping victory
In Kansas. New York Democratic
candidate for Governor is leading by
148,000 votes but many precincts yet
to be heard from. Henry Ford, Dem
ocratic candidate for Senator in
Michigan is defeated by large ma
jority. From the large number Of
Congressman gained by the Republic
cans indications are that the next
House will be organized by that
party. The Kentucky delegation in
Congress which has stood nine Dem
ocrats to two Republicans owing TO
the defeat of Sherley in the Fifth
District now stands eight to three.
The Courier Journal is claiming
Stanley's election by six to nine
thousand. Thomas B. Cromwell, po-
litical writer of Lexington, claims
Stanley's majority will reach $4,000.

SPANISH FLU
Mr.. J. Morton Swango, Former Ken
tuekian. Dies at Home In
Missoula, Montana

On Friday Mr.. and Mrs. g. b.
Swango, of our county, received a
message saying that their son, J.
Norton Swango, who lives at Mis-
soula, Montana, was dangerously Ill
with Influenza. Their son, James, of
Terre Haute, Ind, was communicate
ed with and left at once to be with
his brother. On Saturday morning
a message came announcing the
dealt on Friday night, November LIST,
after a weeks illness.
j. Morton Swango was the young
est Of three children, all boys, of Mr..
and Mrs. Swango and was born at
Hazel Green, KY, in September 1878,
hence was in his 10th year.
About nineteen years ago he cast
his lot with the people of the far
West, locating in the state of Mon
tana where his brother Charlie had
preceded him. He was not satisfied
to live alone, or to marry one of the
fair daughters of the West, but
claimed as his bride one of the
choicest of Kentucky girls, Miss Icy
De Moss, of Newport, whom he had
known while he lived in Kentucky.
They were married eleven years ago.
Their union has been blessed with
three children, two daughters and
a son.
Mr.. Swango was a man of fine
physique and personality, a hustler
in business, a man of many friends
because he showed himself a friend
to many, yet in the strength of young
manhood, surrounded by an interest
ing family and in the press of bust
ness responsibilities he is soon cut
down.
For some years he has been a
wholesale and retail dealer in coal,
and in September of this year had
secured an interest in the transfer
business of that city.
The funeral services and burial
will take place at his home town
today.
His family and particularly his
aged parents have the sympathy Of
many friends in their sorrow.

to say we have another firm be-
lever in the creed at Pays to Ad-

MORE SUGAR
Allowance Has Been Increased Frsas
Two to Pounds Per Month
To Three Pounds

Sugar allotments have been ia
creased, and each individual is new
allowed three pounds Of sugar poo
month instead Of two pounds a.
heretofore. The new ruling was e.
fective few days ago.
The county administrator was told
by Mr.. Sackett that the administra-
ton was enabled to increase the

count of the patriotic conservation
Of the American woman, rapid man
ufacture of the new beet sugar crop
in the West and the cane sugar crop
in the South, and the reductions that
have been made in manufacture
| trades.
The new ruling, the communication
said, makes it possible for the house
holder to use more freely the apple,
cranberry and grapefruit products,
and to use the fruits canned during
the summer without sugar. The reg
ulations were also revised to the ex-
tent that any person may purchase
his whole monthly allowance if he so
desires, the administrator said.
1t was also stated that work on the
distribution of sugar certificates to
retailers and public eating places for
! additional sugar for the month of
November will be begun immediately
