clay IN YOUR COAL SUPPLY
NOW"

Lay in your coal supply now"
This is the urgent message to con-
sumers of fuel in Kentucky, sent out
by Wiley B. Bryan, Federal Fuel Ad-
monistrator for the State.
The Administration is placing par
ticular stress upon the need of giving
early attention to the coal question
as it affects the individual consumer
The opportunity is at hand, he points
out, for every household, every manu-
featuring plant and every establish
ment which suffered from last win
ter's shortage to avoid suffering dur
ing the coming winter.
"And the way to do that" says
the Administrator, "is to buy next
winters coal supply now"
All consumers will be permitted to
purchase as much coal as they wish,
providing they do not exceed their
normal individual winter supply.
The Fuel Administration seeks to
have every consumer place his order
for coal as early as possible The sit
uation generally does not permit the
smallest forecast as to what condi-
tions may be later on, and the con-
sumner will profit by needing the
warning to ''buy early"

College Women As Nurses.

Vassar College will have a camp at
which college women will be offered
trained as nurses. 1t is argued that
college women will be able to learn
more quickly than high school girls
or indifferently educated women the
part of a nurses education that is
learned from text books and through
lectures.
1t will no doubt prove true that
college women can become capable
trained nurses more quickly than
others. A good education never
comes amiss. 1t has been definitely
shown that there is lower infant
mortality rate among the children Of
college women than in any other
class. This is attributed to the men
tai training which includes methods
and apply them scruplously in child
rearing. A college woman should
upon this account salvage more lives
as a war nurse than would be saved
by a nurse with less mental train
ing.

cover the Alps Lies Italy,"

Graduation day with all its flowers,
will soon be here. You can already
scent the fragrance of blossoms.
Our people have always taken great
pride in our schools, and no student
ever carried away a diploma but took
it with the best wishes of our peo-
pie. Speaking of the rapid approach
of another graduation day reminds us
that there is nothing more pleasant
in the busy hum-drum of after years
than to permit your mind to wander
back to the days of school life, the
sweet memories and incidents that
come up, the smiling faces and pleas
ant countenances; the old school
house door, that has so often admit
ted you, swinging back and forth on
its great hinges; the very walls
speaking forth of happy hours; while
at your side stands the noble teacher
who has watched your very move,
and is as much interested in your
success as you are yourself.

TRACTORS TO AID THE KEN
lucky FARMERS.

One hundred farm tractors are be-
ing distributed in various counties in
Kentucky, under the direction of the
Kentucky Council of Defense, with a
view to increasing the States agri-
cultural yield in 1918.
The tractors were brought into
Kentucky through an arrangement
made between the Kentucky Council
of Defense and Henry Ford & Son,
of Dearborn, Mich, in conformity
paign for increased agricultural pro-
duction.
Under the arrangement existing
between the council and the tractor
manufacturer, the council assumes
the responsibility for the proper dis
tribution of the tractors. An effort
is being made by the distributing
agents of the council to make sure
that the tractors are placed so as to
guarantee the maximum yield from
their operation. In each instance
the farmer getting tractor from the
council is required to agree to keep
the tractor in service as much as pos
sible during the season, and to do
work with it for his neighbors at a
reasonable price whenever the tractor
is not needed on his own farm. The
Monarch Auto Company has. received
"a carload Of the tractors and will
distribute them in this territory.
The counties in which the tractors
are being distributed. and the number
placed are as follows: Jefferson,
fourteen; Fayette, seven: Scott, Hen
derson and Bourbon. seven; Clark,
Montgomery and Madison, seven:
Garrard, Boyle and Lincoln, seven;
Woodford, Anderson and Franklin,
seven; Warren, Lynn and Simpson,
seven; McCracken and Graves, seven;
Christian, Trigg and Todd, seven;
Henderson and Union, seven; Da-
viess, Ohio and Hancock. seven, and
Mason, seven.

The Last Red Cross War Fund.

How was the last Red Gross War
Fund spent? This is fair question
and it is fairly answered in the
detailed and itemized reports which
have been published in the newspa-
pers of every town and city in the
land.
You never saw the reports? Then
ask the officers of our local chapter,
because the Red Cross War Council
wants you to know where your
money went.
They say in France and Italy and
other stricken countries that Amer
ican Red Cross relief supplies have a
way, of coming through on time.
Italy did not find the Red
Gross wanting in promptness when
her great trial came. And Rou-
xnania-they said no allied nation
could get through to help Roumania
in her dire need. But the American
Red Cross found a way.
1T is not always a cheap way
~'Needs must" cost money. But did
you give that money to be saved OF
to save lives? Are you not willing to
pay five dollars or fifty to bring some
thing of comfort to a warracked and
tortured mortal who, but for your gift
would surely die?
And of one thing you may be sure:
Not one penny of that first hundred
million dollars, given to the Red
Cross last summer, has gone for any
thing but war relief. The Red Cross
War Council, now asking for another
hundred million, pledges the same
kind of expenditure.
In the Red Cross there is no high
salaried bureaucracy, no extravagant
administration expense. All the
higher officials and nine-tenths of the
{. workers are unpaid volunteers. The
cost of raising and collecting the first
: Red Cross war fund was about one
half of one percent more then cover
ed by the banking interest on the
money.
= Your Red Cross needs this second
hundred million to tighten just lit
tie of the awful load of misery lover
there" Your share is all that you
can give-and then little bit
more
= Will you hold up your end?

This year every citizen should take
a deep interest in the welfare of the
city. If you sincerely believe that
conditions are prevalent that need
changing, don't be afraid to start
something. This year the very best

assert itself to the end that this
towns advancement is sure and safe.
The fellow who kicks is often the

real service. There is difference be-
tween a crouch and good healthy

Safety First!

There are some things that level
headed human being should never do.
Among these is to kndle fire with
kerosene oil, to walk on railroad,
to attempt to get on moving train,
to point gun or revolver at another,
to put his name on another mans
note, to keep his savings in an old
stocking under the bed, to play a
game of chance with prepossessing
stranger, to run for Office when he
has a paying position in private life,
or to call bigger man than himself
a liar.

Mason was taken to Massie Memorial
Hospital, at Paris, Friday, to be
treated for blood poison, and is in a
serious condition.
DIR. Richard Wilkinson, of the
Episcopal church, at Lexington, de-
livered an interesting lecture under
the auspices of Amity Lodge No. 40,
F. and A. NJ, at M. M. I. drill hall,
Friday evening. The address was a
masterpiece of eloquence, beauty and
profound thought. He carried his
audience with him through every
phase of his subject. The address
lasted more than an hour, and most
of his audience could have listen
ed to him twice that length of time.
DR.. Wilkinson was entertained for
supper at the home of Mr.. D. E.
Clarke, Master of the lodge. Those
who were invited to meet him there
were: Col. C. M. Best, Messrs. w. A.
Butler, J. H. Burroughs and R. M.

Mr.. Silas Clever, aged seventy
one, died Saturday about one a. m.
at the Massie Memorial Hospital, at
Paris, of blood poison, after weeks
illness. Most of the members of the
Clever family have been afflicted with
blood poison in the past few weeks.
Some days ago Mr.. Clever pulled
some clover early in the morning to
feed some pet rabbits. He scratched
his hand on a gate in opening it.
He had not been well for some time,
and his blood was much impoverish-
ed. He grew worse rapidly and was
taken to the Massie Memorial Hos
pital, Thursday, where he grew worse
until the end Mr.. Clever was born
in 1887 in Fleming county, and with
his family moved to this community
more than twenty years ago, where
he has since resided. He has been
one of our most successful farmers.
When he came here he purchased
small farm, on which he resided for a
few years. This he sold, purchasing
another. Since then he has continu-
ed to add to his farming land until
he owned about six hundred acres at
the times of his death.
His wife preceded him to the
grave about two years ago. He is
survived by two sons, Messrs. Will
liam and James Clever, both of this
community; three daughters, Mrs.
Bozeman, of Lexington; Mrs. ]. T.
Conway and Mrs. Thomas Mason, Of
Millersburg. He was a lifelong mem
Der of the Baptist church. A short
funeral service was conducted at the
home Sunday at 2:30 p. m. by his for

TIE PED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPl
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know OF the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobacccs
In the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking. we should say ciga'
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize It more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE"-the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought IN
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances. that is the first
thing asked for.
