ALI Yanks Now.

At the recent meeting of Morgan's
Men at Olympian Springs, Capt.
Stephen G. Sharp, of Covington, was
elected President for life. In accept
ing the honor he took occasion to
call attention to the unanimity with
which the boys who wore the grey in
1861 are supporting the flag they
opposed then.
There is no pro-Germanism or sus-
sDicion of lukewarmness among them.
: IN fact the zeal of the ex-Confeder-
sates for the Stars and Stripes and
the glory of our common country is
noticeable in any gathering when
zone happens to be where the war is
discussed. The once rebels are
now true blue patriots and none are
more loyal. And in this connection
it is noticeable that the American
soldiers fighting on the other side
are referred to by their English and
French allies almost entirely as
10y ankees."
The nickname, "Sammies," sug-
gested and used when our boys first
went over has been dropped, IL
seems, by common consent, and
Tanks" they are and proud of it
And that the sons of ex-Confederates
should be known as "Yanks," and
glory in the name and all that il
means to-day, is but another evidence
SOY the single-minded devotion to q
eeuaited, North and South, lone flag
one country, forever and indivisible.'
: that is found throughout the length
:. and breadth of the land. whether
north or south of the Mason and
Dixon line. --.,

Public Needn't Be Damned.

Director General McAdoo has gone
straight to the point in an order
covering the matters of courtesy and
politeness, and he declares that
:" the public be damned policy will
in no circumstances be tolerated on
the railroads under Government con-
troll" Likewise excuses such as
Uncle Sans running roads," or
~sMcAdoo's orders" are classed as
reprehensible. Mr.. McAdoo believes
that the increase of s475,000,000 in
railroad wages per annum, and the
consequent increase in passenger and
freight rates entities the public
among other things, to be treated
"courteously, faithfully and effici'
emily"
The Government acquired 2,000,-
900 new employees when it took ovel
the railroads. The express companies
have furnished about $4,000 new
Government employees, and the tele-
phone and telegraph companies are
supplying 100000 more.

State and Federal cooperation in
dealing with Industrial problems.
The Skip-Stop and the Goat.


The skip-stop has been tried out
on the goat, and the goat is better
off on account of the experiment.
The skip-stop is an innovation in
street-car travel, and is accomplished
by cars stopping only at specified
blocks, several squares apart, and in
Dictated for the convenience of the
public by signs, or markers. The
goat is Washington, the National
Capital; where schemes and devices
for saving time, power and energy,
are worked out by Federal officials.
The skip-stop is to be introduced
on electric lines throughout the
country, if the plans of the Fuel Ad-
ministration are carried out. The
claims that two mil
lion tons of coal can be saved in a
year by the skip-stop and the in,
stallation of power-saving devices.

FH0USEKEEPERS GLAD OF NEW
FOOD ADMINISTRATION ORDER

Housekeepers, as well as the great
common people, who have been sub
sisting for some time on "Victory"
bread, will hail with keen delight,
the order of the National Food Ad-
ministration partly releasing them
from the observance of the wheat
less days program which has held
them aloof from hot biscuits and
other good things made from wheat
flour.
Beginning with yesterday Victory
bread containing only about twenty
per cent. of substitutes, will be offer
ed to the housekeepers. This bread
will be made from new wheat -four
which will have only twenty per cent
substitute cereals in it. Simultane-
ously the old f1fty-fifty rule whereby
houeskeepers who purchased an
equal amount of rye, barley, Graham
or corn -four has been abolished and
with this goes the wheatless day and
wheatless meal.
AS announced by Mr.. Fred M. Sack
EFT, State Food Administrators for
Kentucky, the food authorities of the
United States, England, France and
Italy have agreed upon the universal
use of Victory bread, containing
twenty per cent. substitute that q
greater conservation Of wheat may
be made this coming year. It is only
just, Mr.. Hoover says, that the Unit
ed States should bear it's share in
this saving and that our bread should
be. at least universal with those who
are suffering more greatly from the
war than ourselves.
