No man who has ever figured

Kentucky dies more honored,

1t was his second nature to be
gentle in all things. He always
did his best and was always
kind. No man in Kentucky's il.
lustrious history has emulated
his political career. No man,
perhaps, ever will. But the
quality that we shall always re.

the price of the blood of our

There remains to be raised in
Adair county about $4,000 on
the Fourth Liberty Loan. Pa
triotic men who for business con-
siderations hesitate to invest in
these bonds must eventually re-
gret their criminal selfishness on
reflection that they are for the
protection of the lives of our
boys in France, for the protec-
ton of our properties accumu-
lated before and since the war
began, for the security of our
banks, for the value of our farms,
and for the perpetuation of all
of our securities and privileges
under a free government.
These bonds are the best in
vestment that can be made with
money from a purely financial
standpoint. The money must be
raised for the successful prose-
cution of the war either by the
sale of these sound interest bear
ing securities, or by a righteous
and necessary CONSUMPTION of
property by way of direct taxa
ton. If this should be necessa-
~, let the greedy Stacker squeal
and howl in vain. The con-
scripted blood of our sons who
sleep in Flanders fields will
echo their lost opportunity.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The armies pay no attention
to peace talk, but are making a
master stroke in Flanders.
British, Belgian and French
forces attacked at dawn this
morning on a wide front in Flan-

In the British formation were
some of Great Britian's best
troops and the forces of the
French were of famous fighting
organizations. The Germans ap-
pear perhaps prepared to retire

prove to be Marshal Foch's mas
